Asther Lau

With my precious little girl. :)

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!

Family: The Ooi’s l Kuala Lumpur l Malaysia

Family, Personal, Portraiture, Toddler | 2 February 2011

Two more days and we’ll be celebrating Chinese New Year in Malaysia, welcoming the New Year of the Rabbit this 2011. So what’s more fitting than to share with you a family session I’ve had the privilege to capture last year. Mommy A contacted me several weeks earlier to engage me as her family photographer. I nearly missed this booking as I forgot to do a follow-up with her after a phone call, but lucky that Mommy A contacted me again! Wow! I was sooo busy with life & work that sometimes I forgot important matters such as this one, but I’m really thankful Mommy A helped me with the reminder call. Phew!

Anyway, after several more emails later, we finally met up with her family at the Lake Gardens. It was a beautiful cool morning, a little cloudy but the sun came out & play a little during the session, so yeah(!) we managed to get some pretty pretty sunlight shots that day. :D One of Baby M’s cousin sister actually flew all the way from England to visit and they’re really happy to be able to spend some happy times together during the family session. :) Here are a few of my favs.

Ooh Baby: Little Song Teng | Desa ParkCity | Kuala Lumpur

Babies, Portraiture | 24 January 2011

He’s so chubby and carries such a sweet nature in him. Like any other 6-month old, he’s one curious baby boy! His eyes constantly finding something interesting, his ears forever hearing something new and his hands always reaching out to touch & explore.

His doting parents brought this cute little rattan chair for the portrait session. :D

Ive had people commenting that he looks like a little tau-keh here.

And lastly, my all time fav from this session. :D

I’ve got sooo many sessions to share with you on this blog, but time is always an issue with me. Will be spending the next 9 days on an editing frenzy, photo shooting as well as sending my Tinker Bell to her play classes before we jet off to Hong Kong for Chinese New Year break. :)

If you’re looking at booking a session with me in February, I have one more weekend day available (19th Feb 2011). Click the Contact Me tab above to get in touch with me soonest you can before the someone else grabs the slot. I still have plenty of weekdays available for sessions, so you can consider those too. ;)

Hopefully I’ll be able to share one more session with you here before the holiday break. Till then, have many great days ahead!

10 Things ~I Currently Wish For~

Personal, Toddler | 20 January 2011

A beautiful single-story bungalow with an even prettier (big) flower garden.

I’ll have the windows go all the way down near the floor so we get plenty of fresh sunlight pouring into the house throughout the day.

Then I can take pretty pics of my lil girl just like Sheye did here with hers. *click image to go to her blog*

Besides that, a bigger house means more space for us. I can have my own studio corner, the hubby can have his own private room for his hobby stuffs, our Tinker Bell will have her own playroom to have tea parties & sleep-overs with her friends, and mum will have her own bedroom without having to face all the clutters from all our belongings & keep-sakes.

We love to have friends over & entertain them with food & drinks & happy chit-chats. Our garden will have a BBQ corner for late afternoon parties, and during the evening, we’ll chill with wine & beer in our cosy living room. *sigh*

Oh! And we’ll have a spacious store-room to keep our collections of props, car parts and things sentimental to us. Yes yes… how I wish!

That my dad is still around, enjoying being a grandpa to our little Tinker Bell. He’ll definitely be spoiling her rotten but that’s just what grandparents are supposed to be, aren’t they?

That I could rid this great disappointment & anger inside me for good. This awful feeling is growing & I’m at a lost of what to do to keep it under control.

That one day I’ll see & experience real snow.

I’ll want to dance & sing & laugh while the snow drops onto my face. I’ll want to share this special moment with my love ones, especially seeing the excitement on my Tinker Bell’s face and hearing her giggles & chuckles. We’ll be freezing but happiness will warm us up long enough before we head indoor for some hearty warm chocolate drinks & delicious cookies and cakes.

That I have the gift of seeing, thinking, creating all things pretty & happy.

The ability to decorate/manage our home to make it feel “homely”, pretty and happy. The ability to ALWAYS say something sweet & meaningful & happy. The ability to dress up, not necessarily fashionable but just to a level of being pretty & happy. And many more… I always find myself trying so hard in this department. *sigh*

That there is such thing as real magic and I’m a witch, a good (and wise) witch of course. ;)

Then I’ll use my wand to continue all my editing work while I attempt at “pretty-fying” the house, spend more time with my Tinker Bell and do other things for myself. This means I won’t be constantly falling behind deadlines & have my clients chasing me day & night. Well… I could get an assistant but finding one isn’t as easy as I’d thought. Hopefully I’ll find one soon, but heck, a magic wand wins any day, right? :D

A breakaway trip to the European countryside during Spring time, and later back again during Fall.

Places like Switzerland, a cheese & chocolate producing land, OR Sweden, one of the top 10 happiest country in the world, Luxembourg, worlds richest country!

A fridge that is constantly filled with dark chocolate ice creams and cakes which will never run out.

That I will  NEVER EVER gain even a single ounce whenever I consume those ice creams & cakes.

Constant kisses & “I Love You”s from my Tinker Bell & hubby until eternity.

DISCLAIMER: These are just my wishful thinking, during one of those days when I’m in the mood of wishing & dreaming & wanting & yearning. No intention was meant for anything otherwise. *peace sign*

Bye! Till we meet again...
