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!

A dear old friend, Stephen Wong, referred Mommy P to me for a maternity portrait session recently. During the time, my mum was away for a short holiday, thus I had no babysitter to help with my little girl. I was hesitant to accept this assignment but after Mommy P told me that she has only 2 days left before she’s to be admitted to the hospital for a scheduled delivery! Hearing this, I felt that by whatever means, I must help document her precious pregnant moments before she delivers her baby girl.
I decided to do a mini session for her at my little home. Hubby R has just arrived Malaysia from their overseas home (they’re currently living overseas because of work assignments & they came back to Malaysia to welcome their little girl into this world ) just hours before and we’re really happy to be able to include him in the portrait session.
I really enjoyed this mini session, especially when I get to witness & share their joy & love together.

P/S: Decided to show this series in Black & White. Hope you like them.
The ever radiant Mommy P!
I love baby bump!
Beautiful!
She looks so sweet here.
With Hubby R. Awww...
Baby Bump LOVE! ♥
Hubby R gave his lovely wife a ring to celebrate their pregnancy and I was stoked to be able to document this memorabilia for them! This is the first for me!
Baby Bump with the Pregnancy Ring. *bling*
Here’s wishing them a happy life with their little baby girl, Aishah. Hopefully we’ll meet up again in the future. *hugs*

Announcement, Event | 1 August 2010
Today marks the beginning of World Breastfeeding Week 2010 and I’m taking this opportunity to announce an upcoming event which a few of my mommy-friends & myself are organizing in support of breastfeeding effort in our community.
Here are some details of the event.
Gift of Love Charity Bazaar 2010
One fine day, three SAHM (stay-at-home mothers) had a “calling” and decided to organize an interesting charity event together.
They share the same believes & support towards breastfeeding (they found each other in The Breastfeeding Advocates Network ) and decided it’ll be wonderful to do the event in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week 2010. They went through lots of challenges searching for a venue but alas(!), Tropicana City Mall generously offered their hospitality to host this event in September 2010!
Along with a few other talented mommies, supporting sponsors, friends & families, they hope that this first-time event will be an annual agenda if this one succeeds in 2010.

My name is Yvonne and from the way it looks, I’m the kiasu first participants of the Contest.
[02-08-10 | 4:03 PM]To me, breastfeeding is something wonderful, though at times it may be a little troublesome. It provides the great benefit of bonding between mother & child, cost savings (not for those brand fanatics though) and best of all great health to both mother and child.
I do hope that private and the public sectors do put in more effort into promoting breastfeeding, just like how they operate to support the handicaps.
What does Jozuana think about breastfeeding? Its a love affair that can never be erased from the thought. There is just simply no other way to really fall head over heels over the little tiny being previously occupying my belly.
[02-08-10 | 5:43 PM]I would say breastfeeding is the unity of both mummy and baby’s body, mind and soul.
[02-08-10 | 8:41 PM]Breastfeeding is a time of bonding between mother & baby. Also it helps soothe baby when she’s insecure or unwell. Although there are ’side effects’ such as engorgement, block ducts & pain, persistance do pay off as I know breastmilk is the best for my beloved baby
[02-08-10 | 11:38 PM]Hie, I am Jinelle. To me, Breastfeeding is an amazing gift to all mummies and babies. Both mummy and baby benefits from this gift of love. It increases bonding as well as contains the best nutrition nothing else can replace. Although there will be lots of tired times and sleepless night, it’s all worthwhile for our little precious baby!
[03-08-10 | 1:13 PM]Breastfeeding is a mother’s gift to herself, her baby and the earth. Mother’s milk, time-tested for millions of years, is the best nutrient for babies because it is nature’s perfect food. There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can’t get it!
[03-08-10 | 2:40 PM]Breastfeeding, simply the first the the most basic thing a mother should do for her new born regardless of if you are poor or rich! It’s something fair for everyone…… Mothers, you can do it if you determine to do it! Just that simple!
[05-08-10 | 10:51 AM]Breastfeeding….is the BEST THING that a mother can give to her precious baby!!!
[24-08-10 | 9:36 PM]There is no turning back once you miss it!!!
It is something that MONEY cannot BUY!!!
Breastfeeding, to me, is the essence of motherhood. It gives me a sense of fulfillment, makes me realize the importance of patience & gives me the strength of determination. It completes me as a mom!
