Lily turns one! Just look at that amazing spread of food and the ducky themed birthday! (Lily’s favourite, haha). Simple affair where the kiddos as usual gets to play and have good food while the parents and friends have time to catch up and share stories of their little ones and more.

Cameras: Sony A73
Lenses: 24mm F1.4 GM, 85mm F1.4 GM (95% of the time)

Time flies! After capturing Aerin’s 1st month a year ago, she’s now a year old! It was a blast watching the kids have fun, have cake and get treated to a kick-ass transformer performance. Certainly makes me want to be a kiddo again. Superb mom and dad to have planned everything so beautifully.

Lenses: 24mm F1.4 G Master, 55mm F1.8 Zeiss

Simple, intimate and unconditional love. Congrats to Danielle and Samuel! It was a beautiful and lovely 1 month celebration for baby Hannah!

We planned an outdoor shoot but decided to focus on emotions and do it in the comfort and safety of Gillian and Adrian's home. It brought me so much joy listening to the aspirations they have for Elijah and how they will be as parents. 

I can't wait to watch Elijah grow up :) Thanks for a fun session guys!

Cameras used:
Canon 5D Mark 4 - 35mm L & 85mm L
Leica M240 - 50mm Summicron

I had the privilege to cover Rach’s and Wei’s wedding and now, the honour to help Rach capture some simple maternity pictures! The brief was simple… “Hey Juan, could you help us take a couple of pictures? Im due any time soon.” haha!

I always prefer shooting in a location that matters to the couple… being meaningful trumps aesthetics any day. And this place is no different, given they stay in this neighbourhood.

Decided to ditch the Sony in favour of my beloved Leica M10. Those beautiful colours and files! (If any one is wondering, there have been edited significantly to taste. But yeah, the feeling of shooting a rangefinder is still very satisfying.

Camera: Leica M10
Lenses: Leica 35mm Summicron ASPH and Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH

Lovely 100 Day Birthday celebration for the adorable Aerin and Logan! Held at the Four Seasons Hotel, i always enjoy capturing birthday parties and watching kids play (even though they can sometimes be a handful). For these two kiddos, their celebration had ballon sculptures, magician at work and face painting. Always fun the be amongst loving people.
