Happy birthday Samaara

I had a great time at this birthday event for a client whom I had known for more than a decade; once again he has contacted me to do a shoot for his 2nd child's birthday.

The place was set in an Indian restaurant called Jewel of India which is actually well tucked in a building beside Mustafa Centre.  Personally I had not been to this place and it's a pretty beautiful restaurant indeed.

Here are some shots taken at this event.  Once again, happy birthday Samaara!

Happy Birthday Jvann - 1st Birthday

Today's the actual day done for a baby's 1st birthday at their home.  A beautiful baby who has just turned one and this small party is held by the parents for their family and close friends & colleagues.

A beautiful decorated cake lays which is always so tempting to taste too!

With the guidance of his parents, Jvann was able to grasp hold of the knife to cut his very first birthday cake.  A very beautiful and yet simple celebration!

Baby's 1st birthday and flash photography

What did not tun out to me turned out to be actual; I became baby Amanda's 1st birthday's event photographer for the afternoon; there was a huge group of guests so I managed to capture the moments of her cutting the cake, birthday songs and group photos.

Next destination, Fort Canning.

The weather had been hot but we managed to do some practises with flash photography, courtesy of our unofficial "master", Allen.  Bounce flash had been improvised with a reflective interior of umbrella and the effects are amazingly good.

We had a little chatup after the shoot and learnt from Allen about the lost groups, which were unspoken in the news for those who ventured Mt Kinabalu, East Malaysia, which is also where he lived.  The place sounds pretty attractive as a guide needed to be booked 6 months prior to commencement of trip.

Some photo reviews on the event which I need to touch up on the bounce card on my SB-900 - Allen had given me his card ever since he lost his Fuji dSLR.
