Welcoming Baby Siow





  I met Kai and Sue Mei two years ago, at our church's Pre Marriage course. Their wedding was the first wedding I shot in Melbourne. I am always thankful for them in giving me the chance to build up my photography career. 

    Sue Mei has her signature laugh, which makes her really easy to be photographed. She is a good cook and she loves to share her cooking with others, and of course, I am one of the lucky beneficiaries. She said:" God loves a cheerful giver." 

    Kai is a man of wisdom. Whenever I feel drained, he would give me some words of wisdom, which makes me feel peace, and I respect him alot. How beautiful are these two souls!

    From shooting their wedding photos, to receive postcard from their honeymoon trip, to their good news in having baby Siow, to maternity photo shoot, I am proud to say that I am part of their history haha! 

    Although we hardly catch up, but deep inside my heart, I know that Sue Mei is one of the true friends that God put into my life. I just want to say, I am very happy about your new chapter! We are counting down excitingly to meet you, baby Siow.

PS: This adorable pair of red shoes are the first present Kai and Sue Mei bought for baby Siow :)

Spring/Summer Series: Festive Yellow


To my dearest Bethel,

I think of you every time I hear this song:



Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me

I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight



     Finally we did it! Beth and I have been postponing the photo shoot since July and now we finally did it! You know what, it was certainly God who decides on our steps. I was struggling to generates ideas for Beth’s yellow theme photo shoot. But as soon as we decided on the date before Christmas, bang! God told me: do a festive theme!

     I first met Beth at “Discover You” course ran by our church in May. When it’s my turn to introduce myself, I said:” I know what my gift is but I would like to know how can I use it for God’s will.” Then I saw an African girl nodded her head, as if she was the only one who listened to me. Around that time, I had a little wish in my heart – I wish I can shoot African models.

     Two months later I met Beth again at a church meeting. She saw me crying behind the crowd and she offered to pray for me. She said something to me, something simple but meant a lot to me, it helps me to grow and to gain confident. Beth, although you have forgiven what you've said, but you are right, I am the one who need to remember it and I am so thankful God sent you to talk to me. After that meeting, Beth agreed to be my model! Yes she was my first African model!

     The day of our photo shoot was our first time hanging out, first time together but it was 12 hours in total! Thank you so much for your time! The time I spent with Beth answered why Pastor Sam once said:”There is no other woman like Beth!” Yes I totally agreed with that. She is a very attractive woman. The attractiveness comes from her confidence, her big lips and, trust me, no one would not love her laughs.  She is also full of wisdom, knowledge and she knows what she wants, on top of that, she is a woman of God. Subsequently, this wonderful woman also agreed to be one of my bridesmaids! Wohooo!!!

     Just like any other Aussie/Kiwi, she was afraid if there’s any snake in the forest. Haha! Snake in the forest was something me and May would never think about. 

     Thank God, the photo shoot was smooth, so much so that we managed to came home earlier than what we scheduled.

     May, the sparkling eye lashes you put on for Beth stole the show! Stephani, thank you for helping me to sew the knee length yellow dress. Beth, thank you for agreeing to be a X'mas tree! Well done girls! Thank you so much for doing this with me! Merry Christmas XOXO
