Posting date: April 25th, 2010 | Category: baby, family photo, My Blogs, personal | - (Comments are closed) My assistant canly left a message to me yesterday and reminded me that I haven’t updated the blog for over 1 month. I was really shocked !!!! I know it ‘s long, but never imagine it ‘s over 1 month already !!!!!
Last two months ‘re really busy (both business and personal). I have stopped shooting for two months since the birth of my 2nd daughter in February, yet the two little girls and all the photo post processing works kept me busy. Since entering April, the schedule was getting more and more crazy, packed with 3 to 4 weddings and pre-wedding sessions every week. The break in Feb / Mar just pushed everything into April … …
A few updates … …
My name is Shuyan (書恩)
Sorry to let you know late that my 2nd daughter was named Shuyan. A very lovely baby, but she doesn’t like to be alone, whenever she ‘s awake and finds nobody next to her, she will start to cry. Once I sit next to her and start talking to her, she will stop crying and begins to smile. So lovely !!!!

shulin and her friends
How about shulin? she is no longer a little baby any more. She is a BIG girl now. Can’t imagine she can grow up so fast. Started to speak a lot in last two months, learned to count from 1 to 10, don’t like us to feed her any more, instead, she like to hold the spoon and eat by herself (of course, half portion of the meal is on the ground finally … …)
shulin and her friends .. … ah pooh, amanda and rabbit

something big happened last week … … we bought a new bed for shulin — a bed without fence. now she can climb up and get off the bed all by herself

Simon.the.Studio
Another big thing happened this month. I opened my own studio!!!! Everything happened very fast — it took less than one week from the day having an idea of my own studio, finding a property agent, looking for space to confirming the apartment.
I always thought it was a miracle that, without a studio, I could be able to shoot hundreds of wedding in last five years. Bring a 17″ laptop and meeting clients in coffee shop and cafe was not a easy task and not a very pleasant experience for all my clients as those places are getting more and more crowded and noisy. Really have to say big thank you to all the clients that trusted me and booked me in last few years.
I do think all my clients should have a better place for meeting me and seeing my works, the new studio is in SoHo, Central — a very pleasant location, especially at night, and very convenient for my clients (it is only 15 min walk from one IFC, along the mid level escalator) . With a fixed location, now I can show you more albums, more photos, and with a much bigger screen (there is a 110″ projector screen installed in the studio !!!!)
finally, let me update more wedding and prewedding photos in next few days !!!

Posting date: January 20th, 2010 | Category: baby, family photo, personal, pregnancy | - (Comments are closed) Time is fast, it is already Jan 20th of 2010 and this is my 1st post in 2010.
Last few weeks – as busy as usual, no need to mention again – don’t want to bore you … …
What I am going to let you know and surprise you is: Xandra and I are going to have our second daughter next month !!!!!!!!!!! We ‘re so happy and excited for the arrival of this baby. We planned for it long time ago – after we had the 1st baby (Shulin), both of us thought that it would be much much better to have another child so that the two children can grow up together.
Before Shulin was born, I invited Lawrence to take our first pregnancy photo session. So to be fair to the younger baby, I arranged another photo session last week and we ‘re glad to have Ken Lam (the Kodak UK photographer of the year “2009”) to help us this time.
Even though the weather of the day was not good, we had lots of fun. It was so cold and wet outdoor that we finally decided to have the photo taken in a shopping mall and train station.
Here is a sneak peek. Ken, thanks for your great works, the photos are wonderful and you captured the happiness of my family.
Also great thanks to Canly, polly of faces hk and “Dai E” for all your great help on the day !!!!
More news of the baby coming very soon … …
Love this shot!!! we had this photo taken at the Shatin New Town Plaza shopping hall

Posting date: May 21st, 2008 | Category: baby, family photo, personal | - (Comments are closed) hello everyone, thanks for your blessings !!!!! !!!!
My little baby girl was born on 20 May morning, with a weight of 2.6kg. We ‘re so excited (or nervous) the night before that neither Xandra nor I could sleep the night before. Yesterday was a busy day, sending all the SMS, calling our family and keep everyone updated … …
this is our 1st family photo !!!!! the moment we hold her, the feeling ‘s so warm and so real. She was so lovely in our arms.

my little angel

PS. Pls apologize that it will be a little slow for me to work on the backlogs this week as I can only work in the night time.
Posting date: May 10th, 2008 | Category: family photo, personal, pregnancy | - (Comments are closed) it ‘s a happy day. On Monday, Xandra and I went back to the Chinese university of HK (CUHK) at where we first met long long time ago. Thanks Lawrence for helping me to take the photos — they are absolutely stunning and both Xandra and me love them a lot.
The baby is expected to arrive in around 10 days — very excited !!! So glad that we can put this photo session into action before she arrives.
PS. I think I was too excited on the day, since then, I was very very sick for the last few days. Though I could still work on the backlogs, the fever and muscle pain really killed me. It ‘s getting better now, it may take 1–2 more days to recover completely.
We broke into took some photos in a lecture hall — this is one of the classroom I spent lots of time for my engineering degree long long time ago. The setting is still the same, but everything is renewed with much nicer AV equipments

Posting date: May 3rd, 2008 | Category: family photo, personal, pregnancy | - (Comments are closed) Hi everyone,
I am pleased to announce that I am going to be a father this month (around end of this month)!!!!!
That’s why I am taking a long long vacation from April to June, I don’t want to be away or working when the baby arrives. I was so busy last few months — non-stop shooting from last Oct to March, followed by all the post – processing and album work, then I started to relocate all the furnitures and rooms, not to mention, had a long list of baby things to buy. So happy that I made the decision to take this break and now I have more time for Xandra and prepare for the birth. Sorry to all nice couples whom I can’t help your wedding during this break
I am so glad and excited for the arrival of this little angel, this is a long – waited baby — a baby girl. I just took some photo with Xandra early this week at home — I was so worry that the baby would born earlier and I didn’t take any photo at all (what a shame for a photographer). Here are some shots to share with you.
I am going to have an outdoor photo session next week with the help of a nice wedding photographer (guess who he is ?) , so looking forward to it !!!!

Posting date: August 16th, 2006 | Category: family photo, I-do (wedding day), portrait, weddings | Comments are closed Czarina is getting married in Dec 2006 at Four Seasons Hotel, this is another referral from a wedding last year (Rebecca & Jeffrey).
While a lot of my clients have engagement shooting before the wedding, Czarina, instead, decided to do a photo shooting with her family. This is a good idea, in fact, I wish I had done the same thing with my family when I was young.
Czarina is so pretty that you can take good picture of her no matter what angle you shoot. Her family is very nice and they are all camera friendly !!
