About Me

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!

I Miss Your Big Bear Hug, Daddy Dearest.

Personal, Project 365 (Year 2010) | 29 July 2010

It’s been now three years since my father left us to be with the Lord after a series of complications due to a stroke in January 2007. I’m currently back home in Kuching. Since today is the 3rd anniversary of his passing, I decided to take the day off from work & focus on reminiscing the old times with my daddy dearest by going through my family’s old photo albums. Initially I was planning to scan some of the photos with our old scanner at home but couldn’t seem to find the cable to connect to my laptop. But I did manage to dig out an USB cable for my camera (I forgot to pack one in my camera bag this trip) and decided to take pics of the photos instead for this blog post.

Here are some photos of my daddy… down the memory lane…

Daddy was quite a sportsman during his younger days. (I sure did inherit that part of his genes tho. :P )

He won quite a few trophies actually... too many that I decided its too much to share it all on this blog. ;)

I’m proud to know that my daddy’s a very fun-loving person. His presence always brightened up a party and he loves to make other people happy. :D Many told me that I inherited quite a few of his “social-able” traits. ;)

He had this amazing skill of roasting a piglet to perfection everytime we hosted a party. I so so so miss these moments.

As I was leafing through the many albums, I realized there were not many family portraits taken with my daddy as he was always the one behind the camera. These are the only few (good-clear ones) that I’ve managed to find for this post. There were much lesser family portraits when we were much older. :(

When I was still very little... during a trip to Sabah.

His passion was in the construction field. And I’m glad when he left, he was already doing what he loves. :)

Here’s a little something to remember him by this year…

Ooh Baby: Little Ryleigh l Pulau Pinang l Malaysia

Babies, Family, Portraiture | 28 July 2010

Remember my first travel assignment to Penang Island earlier this year? Well… I totally forgot to blog about the cutie pie I got to spend the whole day with during my trip there. My bad! :P But it’s never too late, right? ;)

Mommy J contacted me months earlier & after “tonnes” of emails exchanges, we finally set a date for me to travel up to her in Penang & document her little girl’s daily moments as well as some of her baby’s portraits. We had lots of fun dressing her up that day! :D And she’s such a doll to let us do so & was a star infront of my camera!

She was 7-month old when these portraits were taken but I’ve never met such a chubby baby till that day! Mommy J was breastfeeding her exclusively and what a brilliant job she’s done! *thumbs up*

When I arrived at their sweet home, Little Ryleigh had just woken up & was playing with her mommy in the bedroom.

Good morning!

Bath time!

Thank you so much, Mommy J, for giving me such opportunity to spend a memorable time with your little family. Pray we’ll meet again one day and I’m constantly keeping up to date on Little R’s growing up moments on Facebook. ;)

Ooh Baby: Little Shuen l Kuala Lumpur l Malaysia

Babies, Family, Portraiture | 17 July 2010

Remember newborn baby Shuen? Her ever jolly parents brought their little girl for another photo session with me recently.  She just turned 11-month old when these portraits were taken. Look at how much she’s grown! :D We were blessed with such pretty late afternoon sun that day. *bliss*

What a cutie pie!

She looked sooo tiny among those tall trees!

For the rest of the session, Little Shuen preferred to be in her parents’ arms. So we continued on with more family portraits. :) Daddy Y & Mommy K were soooo good with her, making her smile & laugh all the time.

Mommy K decided to leave her professional job & started her own home-based financial consultant services. This is so that she can have more time with her little girl & see her grow. She’s also breastfeeding Little S fulltime till this very moment! A very dedicated mommy!
