Week 19 - Gorgeous Family

Raynan and I got some chance to meet new people around Abu Dhabi. I have been wanting to share this gorgeous family for some time.  I just couldn’t narrow it down to only a few images for the week's entry.  They are so so gorgeous and really wonderful family. 

Look at Baby A, how nice and natural he smiles on the camera.



Totally handsome from a different angle.


How sweet the father is to his son,


And caring mom to a lucky boy... 


Aren't they a gorgeous family to spent time with?


Thank you for sharing your adorable boy with us.  I know we’ll see you all again.

Week 18 - I'm A Muscle Man

I am SUPER swamped from the Eid holidays.  I’ve loved every moment spent with family.  And I couldn’t be happier meeting some good family around Abu Dhabi too.  They welcomed us in their home and seeing their cute little boy got me so excited for this week’s photo project.
So to save some time on chitchats, I’m going to be posting a “mini” sneak peeks of our session.  Look at this “cool” pose!!











I hope to see this macho little boy again soon to document more of his life!!  So love the picture!

Week 17 - Pit Lane

Had a great weekend spending time with my son.  I took half of my day off from office.  We went to the Pit Lane Walk last Thursday 3pm directly after a short visit to our embassy here in Abu Dhabi.  So what's special about the Pit Lane,  Albert got a chance to see the team garages and the drivers up close.  Although he doesn't really care about them and clueless who they are, I know he enjoyed our day trip.  Doesn't it show from his face??  He was running all the way, touching it and exploring all what comes in his mind.

I took this shot and my husband dear did the processing.  Good stuff isn't it?

Week 16 - Like Mother, Like Daughter

This beautiful lady and her equally gorgeous mother is my Week 16.  Ms. S and her daughter A were so much fun to photograph!  We spent time in their house, just having a few laughs.  It was so nice to give them some ‘Like Mother, Like Daughter” shots for A's birthday.

Ms. S said she was not planning on being photographed but as soon as I saw how stunning and lovely dovey she was, I knew I had to take some portraits with her included!  As a result, some touching mother and daughter images, as well as many individual images of just her sweet little girl now a lady.  For more of both of them, visit my People's Page on Studio.

I can't wait to photograph more of them!  Here are two BEAUTIFUL and easy to photograph people I've endountered.  This mom was so kind and wonderful, so sweet and genuine with her daughter.  I could have photographed them all night!
