a perfect mix | singapore newborn photographer

q&a with sweet little taylor’s parents:

how did you feel when first ‚meeting‘ your baby?
ecstatic and overwhelmed with joy!

what is your favourite physical feature of your baby?
taylor’s eyes.

five words to describe your newborn…
feisty
curious
intelligent
lovable
entertaining

what do you most love about seeing your partner…
… as a mother: her ability to nurture and her relentless strive to be the best mommy.
… as a father: his patience. his love for our daughter. his compassion to be the best daddy.

your baby’s personality…
it’s amazing to see and learn taylor’s personality each and every day. she has inherited a bit of both of us – her mom’s impatience and her dad’s calmness and curiosity.

behind the scenes | singapore lifestyle photographer

a lovely client was so kind to send me two ‚behind the scenes‘ images that she took during our baby photography session. one of the images i took here of dad and his little baby girl is included in their sneak peek. by the way, in case you wondered – yes, i do ask before i climb on people’s furniture… ;)

happy | singapore child photographer

i love delivering the products that are part of my image packages to my clients – i’m always excited about the prints, albums, frames and storyboards, and always hope that they will bring my clients much joy for many, many years. and of course, for me it is then always special and rewarding to get feedback from my clients, too.
last year, after delivering a package to one of my clients, i in turn received an email that brought me much joy. this session had been a lot of fun, and i loved so many of their images, so it made me very happy to hear how this family felt about their session, images and wall art – and angie gave me permission to share her email with you here:

„Hello Nina, 
I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate and am touched by your very personable and personalized approach to our photography session – right from the beginning when we first approached you to the final delivery of products (which were so beautifully wrapped!) :) 
It warms my heart just looking at the images on the wall art :) Thank you for capturing images of Lucien and our family. I’m almost tempted to have another session this year to capture more images with little Lucien – that’s the impact of your work! :)
I hope you will still be in Singapore when Lucien turns 2 next Oct. Would really love to have you share the moment with us again. 
I’ll definitely be visiting your blog often – simply love your work! 
Warmest regards, 
Angie“

below are some images of the package this family received. you can also view images from their session here.
thanks again, angie, for your kind words! i’m looking forward to our next session, and i wish you, eugene & lucien all the best for 2013!
