There's countless ups and downs, where each of us have to adapt, adjust with each other sometimes, we question ourselves why we are together in the first place. Nope..it wasn't a fairy tale at all...I remember our pre-wedding time that we are so exited, anxious that marriage is the tip our love that will last forever and ever..till' death do us apart...so on and so on... It's so obvious that we are trapped in this marriage life...lol...just kidding...well some what true...hahah...
          Apart from that,  I think we are truly blessed, we are bless with a gift from God our cute daughter Dominique, and whom is keeping us amuse every single day. So all I can say is I love you very much Felly.. Thank you so much for being patient, understanding, especially during the hard times for the past couple of years...and stand by me together in this new venture of our. May we are bless with more years to come....and hopefully God will bless us with another little amusement in our lives..a boy perhaps like you always wanted. So anyhow that's all for now....I better stop writing because the taxi is outside and ready to take us to the airport...so Bangkok here we come...cheers everybody...

The sun have to set twice for little Jeremy

Double six Beach, Bali Monday 9th of April 2012

          It was a hot hot evening in Bali that day. My friend linda and I was waiting for our first client  just right in front of Cocoon Beach Club at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Even though we have our sunnies on, still the sun heavy glare makes both of our eyes watery as we both could actually feel the heat burns our skins.  About 30 minutes later here comes our couple Lars and Mila, and also their cute almost a year old boy Jeremy on a motorbike. It was so cute seeing Jeremy covered inside the pouch made from a piece of fabric tied together  ( cukin is what we call in Indonesia ). I hardly sees them anymore with jakarta moms these days who would likely prefer modern stylist Mother Care baby carrier or perhaps have their maids wore the cukin carrying their baby while mom looking pretty in high heels with either real or immitation Birkin bag glancing on the shinny marble floor at the top shopping malls in Jakarta. But then again it's Bali who would wear high heals on the beach anyway right?...

          So off we go to our photo location at La Plancha beach bar. We try to get some shades by getting  a table which is right beside the bar entry but, the sun still catching us and glaring so strong which is not an ideal light for photo shoot. Well...I can managed the camera and still take photos however, Jeremy is not really in a good mood because he has not get his nappy time and the heat has worn the energy of our little star. Is not a disappointing photo session, when the kid has to go he have to go right?..but I managed to get couple of good shots of Jeremy before he got cranky so off he go back to mommy's pouch . But hey let's not waste the golden hour moment so  Mila said let's get the photos anyway...so there you go Jaime...it's  mommy and daddy post wedding photo shoot...lol...

          Anyhow, we re arrange the session for the next two or three days same time same place. On Thursday the 12 of April just before my flight back to Jakarta that day, we managed to get the photos all together..with Jaime and the sunset  on the second time. A little disappointment because the sunset was not that great so I cannot capture the yellow orange gradation on the back, but instead we got this beautiful red sky behind us, so makes the photo becomes more interesting. So there you go Mila & Lars, and bloggers out there, hopefully you like them...we can always do another session when I'm back to Bali in December this year.or any other photo shoot if I'm happen in Bali this year.
          Almost forgot to say happy one year birthday Jeremy on the 13th of April  2012  :) . To all bloggers out there if you are happen in Bali just come by to Mila's boutique uhm...well it calls Jamila's Boutique for some sheek and cool collections at Jl. Raya Seminyak. That's all for now, and there'll be more post about our Bali photo shoot session, out for now cheers...

Back to Classics

I am always a big fan of classic photos....whether is Black n White, Retro colors, Pin up 40s and 50s styles..or even the wash out color photos like the lomography styles. I think there is always a touch of classics in all of us. That is the reason why we have the classic  set ups in our studio, not just merely trying to push our own creativity but also we think there's a certain beauty of classical style photos. Other kids studio may have used cute costumes with their baby photos, but we always believed that kids are cute and unique as their innocent selves, and that's what we are trying to capture.

Our next client is Abraham & Frieda with their 6 months old daughter Christely. Before they came to  the studio we've try to throw some ideas about having baby pictures in classic style. It took them a while convincing them that the pictures will not look like their grand parents old photos, in short they going for it at the end plus the normal black & White background. It was another fun day at the studio, as Little Chistely put her gorgeous lady like smile with her little white dress and white classic hat that she wore sitting  in a basket like a royal baby surrounded by the dolls really bring out the mood. Is just makes another fun day at the office. So here are the photos of Christely we hope you enjoy them..and if you like them, don't forget to recommend your friends about us and to like our face book..cheers...

May the sun always shines in Bali

Well...it's 10.56 am April 12 2012 Bali time...it's been almost a week since I'm here and it's time to go home back to the hustle and bustle of Jakarta :(... I know. It's been great but different this time from my previous Bali experience. This time I am making great friends get to know some of the Balinese or those who lived in Bali. I think the definition of Balinese nowadays has broaden beyond the islander them selves. It is a blend of race, culture, and individuals that enhance variety as one harmonious society in this little piece of paradise. And it's been a privileged for me to photograph them. Special thanks for my good friend Linda whose not only introducing me around, driving me around (she'll a hackable fast driver too!!!) and also being my good manager during my stay in Bali Thank you so much big sexy mama...love you sist.  So this is just a sneak preview, hopefully you all like them. And for the bloggers and our followers this is just a sneak preview, there will be more post with their individual photos..enjoy..

Swing Baby Swing

Our next little guest is a six months old baby girl named Diandra. Dee is the second child of my wife's friend Lukman and Novida. My wife Felly and Novida are online Bento sellers on Facebook.  

It takes almost fifteen minutes for Dee to settle...and another fifteen to get Dee ready for action. Mommy Novi told us that Dee is easily bored, and we thought no problem...we have plenty of toys and dolls which should be good to make her excited and entertain. Well we thought wrong....what Mommy Novi means every now and then during the photo shoot, Dee like to be swing. So there you go, Mommy and Daddy keep swinging Dee every couple minutes or so. Well that works very well....my salute to Mom and Daddy keeping Dee giggling and laughing in no time, as a reward I gave you guys bonus photo in black and white for keeping dee entertain..lol.

Dee must have been tired by all the swinging excitement. So we decided that we should break for milky time in the changing room and after that she fell asleep on mommy's arm. Fifteen minutes pass and Dee is still sleeping...so we thought it would be so cute to take Dee photo while she is  asleep. While mommy was putting Dee on the basket, she slowly open her little eyes  and we thought oh no...Dee is not going to be happy about this. No she's not....she's fine relax...and starts giggling, she seems to like the basket...and the soft towels in the basket...and God knows what she seems very interested with our purple bear. Well we guess the parents don't mind of Dee being in the basket and playing with the purple bear as there's no need of them to swing Dee for another thirty minutes..lol. And we are happy because we get a good photo shot. Keep those cheerful face Dee...
