AXIOO

A new chapter will start soon for Andry & Enzy. With each day they are expecting the arrival of their little one. Who will he look like? Will he take on mom's eyes or dad's smile? Endless questions will only be answered when he comes into this world. For now, Enzy is enjoying the last few weeks of her pregnancy. The closest a mom can ever be with her baby. And we are invited to capture this moment.

Their passion for diving gave birth to this idea of underwater pregnancy portrait. We call this series "Waterbaby" :)

Hope Of The World

Womb of the mother
In which resides the hope of the world
True paradigm of Love Joy Sacrifice Hope
Your bulging belly extends
Like the hand of God
Pushing
Stretching
Showing all of us the miracle of life.

What a wonder you are. A miracle from above. As you grow stronger each day, we anticipate you presence. One day soon, we will hug you and shower you with kisses. The day is coming...we can't wait for it. For now, it's just you and me. The closest we can ever be as mommy & son. We even synchronize our heart beat. I'm sure you can hear my thoughts for you, all the wishes and prayers for you. My precious I love you :)

"Hey leute, ich bin erst 2 wochen alt" means "Hello friends, I am two weeks old".

Funny how fate has brought Ai and Ferry to Berlin where they first met each other. They fell in love and tied the knot in Germany. Ferry has been living his whole life in German. When they were expecting, they moved to Jakarta and two weeks ago Ai gave birth to Verscha Alexandrew Dary Muller. It was a blast to meet again with Ai and Ferry after their pregnancy session.

One of the things I really thank God for, is growing old together with the couples. It is such a privilege to witness their love during dating, till the day they say "I Do". Then comes the day they happily announced "We are expecting!" :) JJ and Farah tied the knot 3 years ago and moved to Singapore. We shot their portraits in Bali and Jakarta. One of the unforgettable pre-wedding sessions :)

I had an awesome time shooting for Baby Dylan. Me and Aya [Dylan's mom] were roommates back in San Francisco, during our colleges years. I remember our silly moments, countless nights talking about our dream jobs, dream men, dream city to live in. Laughing over our super duper clean kitchen, not that we are good at cleaning, but because we rarely cooked. We chatted for hours about everything under the sun. One of the best moments of my life. Time flies! We both are mommies now ;p

Life is a miraculous gift from God. Have you ever wonder how magical it is to be conceived and born into this world? Well someone has to bear with hormonal changes, gaining weight, stretch marks, sleepless nights and the incomparable pain of childbirth. For those lucky few, you deserve to be called mothers, mom, mama, ibu, 妈妈.

More baby post for this weekend. Something cute & light to cheer you up. You'll melt looking at her. Kaylee is this super sweet & adorable girl, I can't stop clicking the shutter capturing her every move. One Sunday afternoon, we spend a little time with Kaylee & her parents in the poolside. Who knew she has a thing with the camera, so comfortable and relax. I want to hug her and squeeze her ;p

Enjoy her photoclip too at the end...

It's time for that weekend blog posting...adorable babies :) I'm always excited to shoot Gwyneth, she's grown up so fast! Now she's already sitting and crawling around the house. I love making funny faces just to see that twinkle in her eyes when she smiles. Ha ha at times, i even have to don the sheep costume, let's call it work hazard ;p

Thanks to Tasya and the new rising star photographer Jan for helping me in preparation and shooting. We make a good team :)

It's great to catch up with Andre & Hany. We shot their epic pre-wedding in France last year and published this photoclip in our blog...no wonder their faces look familiar ;) Knowing them since their dating days, still planning their wedding, and now in a blink of an eye soon they will become mom & dad.

So during their visit to Jakarta last week, we invited them over for a quick session. Here's their photos...
