Asther Lau

Hello!

I am a Malaysian female photographer based in Kuala Lumpur/Selangor that loves any kind of photography listing from nature to skyscrapers, especially portraitures for newborn babies, toddlers, pregnant families, couples & families as well as weddings & events.

I am also an avid scuba diver which enables me to capture amazing underwater images from all around the world.

This blog follows both my professional life (as well as) some of my personal life, featuring MOMENTS from the maternity & newborn sessions, weddings & beautiful people I managed to capture with my lens, the places I travel and the friends and family members that mean so much to me.

This blog will also serve as my photography website, featuring my work & information of available services from yours truly. :)

It also contains random information source for my current and potential clients as I’ll (from time to time) provide some useful links of wedding tips & what-nots for your ”surfing” pleasures. I hope this blog will also be a source of inspiration and education for other photographers.

This site is a little more informal and I just want to give everyone a sense of who I am, and what I am all about. Do feel absolutely free to leave comments or post questions. You can also contact me for other booking enquiries. Thank you for visiting and REMEMBER to stay updated with Asther Lau Photography’s Blog by subscribing to our RSS feed!

Yummy-licious Contest!: WIN a Gift Voucher from Babysweet Cakes

Babies, Contest, Food, Other Useful Links | 30 August 2010

Recently, I’ve been shooting quite a few baby portraits for their upcoming birthday invitation cards or birthday slide-shows. And I’ve always suggested to their parents to bring along a cake or cupcake for the shoot. Totally loving it when I see a cute little munchkin having a go at his/her very first sugary delight!

Little Rs smudgey face. Cheeky but cute!

These images have inspired me to start another blog contest and this time, I’ve gotten a fellow mommy friend to sponsor the giveaway! :D A gift voucher from Babysweet Cakes worth RM100.

I came to savor Pleasance’s delicious cupcakes during a visit to my close friend, JennL’s home earlier this year. Ever since that day, I’ve been dreaming on eating more of her yummy creations and finally we decided to order a set of birthday cupcakes from her for my mum’s birthday recently. My mum loved her birthday cuppies & ate most of them herself! ;)

Pleasance is a fellow stay-at-home-mom who loves baking & owns a little home-based bakery business. She’s famous for her delicious butter-cream cupcakes (but she bakes other yummies such as cakes & cookies too) and she uses all-natural & fresh ingredients for her yummy creations.

Here’s a list of her cake/cupcake flavors:

VANILLA BUTTER ~ rich butter cake! *slurps*

FRESH ORANGE ~ one of her best selling flavor! Fresh!

LEMON ZEST ~ tangy & refreshing!

DARK CHOCOLATE ~ rich, buttery & chocolaty! :D

BITTERSWEET RICH CHOCOLATE ~ lusciously dark & melt-in-your mouth texture!

COFFE PICK-ME-UP ~ fragrant brewed coffee with vanilla

CLASSIC MARBLE ~ swirls of vanilla butter cake and delectable dark chocolate

MOCHA MOCHA ~ bittersweet notes of chocolate & toasty coffe

DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE ~ rich luscious chocolate cake with a fragrant citrus kick!

Ooh Baby: Little Prannaath l Kuala Lumpur l Malaysia

Babies, Portraiture | 22 August 2010

Recently I get to spend some time with this little newborn baby boy for his very first portrait session. Only 2-week old & sleepy, he refused to be put down alone by himself. Mommy P was feeding & feeding & feeding him, hoping that he’ll be really full & will eventually fall into deep slumber so we can capture more creative poses with him. But alas… we resorted to wrapping him up and he finally was happy. ;)

Hello Baby Boy!

That’s all for now. It’s been really crazy recently in both my work & personal life, so I’m going to need more time in replying emails & editing all the pending portrait series. My current(remaining) August & September calendar are fully booked, so let’s look into October if you will. ;)

Stay tune as there will be another contest coming up pretty soon. Yummy price awaits! ;)
