No matter how difficult and heavy your week/day has been, this little pumpkin will warm your heart!

We all are living under hard times and simple days like this are not being allowed in some many nations at this point. Hope is all we have! Hope that we’ll leave this Pandemic with a promise to live a more responsible and selfless life. More compassion. More love. More committed to our home Earth, our family as a human being, regardless race, religion or nation. More appreciation to our freedom, to simple moments like this—a walk in the park in a Sunday afternoon.

Ballet Photos in Singapore

Outdoor photoshoots can be challenging in Singapore: the heat and humidity can ruin any makeup, hair and removing the sweat stains on clothes on Photoshop can double the editing time! Even on a cloudy day, we were dripping! Poor Erivan—was almost dehydrated at the end of the session! But is still fun! :)

I’m so grateful for each session, each person I’ve met through photography. It’s a constant learning, an opportunity to improve and make a better work every time. Sometimes I miss New York streets and the golden sunset shining between the buildings, but the challenge of working with a different light, new se up, new city is so rich! That’s the chance for me to look for new angles, strength my technique, get out of the box!

This was my first shoot with Erivan and I’m sure, won’t be the last! I’m still exploring this new territory—Singapore and ballet photos. Excited for this new path! :)

Family Photoshoot , East Coast Park

One of my favourite spots for a family photoshoot in Singapore: East Coast Park. On one side, the beach and the other, gorgeous rainy trees and enough space for the kids to play around and have fun while capturing some memorable photos!

One of the main concerns about scheduling a session is: the weather. What if it’s raining or cloudy? During raining season, it’s certain to expect some showers in the afternoon, specially. But I love to photograph on a cloudy day. One of the scariest things for the Photographer is to manage the highlights on the photos on a bright and harsh light. The deep shadows on the face, the background too bright… Can be a nightmare! But when the rain is gone, we can play around with the deep contrast and the moody tones.

Thank you, Anne, for the patience on waiting for the rain to cease and wishing you all the best for your gorgeous family!

When the light, the place, the people and the Universe conspire for a beautiful afternoon! Immense gratitude for each person that I’ve met through photography and these smiles are the most precious gift that I could have! <3

A walk at the Botanical Gardens in Singapore

And after 4 years abroad, in South Africa and New York, I’m back “home”—where everything started!

So thrilled to meet this lovely family, Kate and Ben, and capture such precious moment at the Botanical Gardens, in Singapore! Family Photography is my passion and no matter how chaotic is to make 3 little pumpkins to look at the camera and smile for a second, I just have fun as much as they do!

That’s the core of my work: spontaneous as much as possible! A family photo shoot is always a surprise—will depend of the mood of the kids, wether they will feel comfortable with you or not—but the most important item is patience! Just join them into the fun and make memorable images!

When you have the luxury of time on a Tuesday morning to play around with the camera at the Botanical Gardens.

All images were made in camera using the multiple exposure mode! Just used Lightroom to colour and adjust lighting!
