Natsuki Photography

I love love family photographs! I think most of you know it by now... :D

It has been really trying to get a good shot of the family with BB K and V not looking at the camera. If its not the children, its the husband with his crappy smile - yes he has a terrible smile! I, however am always camera ready! :D We have never had a outdoor shoot before, I'm prissy -fussy and prim, especially in a prudish way. But I do have a photo taken and printed at the Singapore Zoo at a exorbitant rate, I'm sure that's counted as an outdoor shot. 

The Ng family were invited to have a photo shoot taken by Natsuki Photography. Just in time for our 7th year anniversary!

Natsuki's passion of children photography started especially after the birth of her niece. She practiced so very often with her as a subject and eventually found that she should make use of this talent and passion into something greater. (you will see what I mean by her talents) Her inspirations comes from photographers such as Kimberly Chorney, Krista Palmu and Valeria Spring. Natsuki's style is often soft and dreamy and in shades of pastels. She loves vintage and whimsical style of photography.

After visting her Website and her Facebook, I was pretty much amazed by the whimsical feel that she could portray so well through her photos. This type of photography have been around for a while but I have yet seen a local children photographer being able to portray it well.  A few emails exchange later, we decided on the vintage theme at the Singapore Botanical Gardens. Yippee! like seriously so fun right!? 

Preparation: 

Natsuki emailed me the kind of look to achieve and I proceeded to get the outfits for the children and the husband. We discussed further, on what props we can use to enhance the feel of the photos.  

Location: 
She suggested the Cluny side of Botanical Gardens, which me and Trev never knew it existed! But it really does have a more vintage feel then the "commercial part" of the gardens. 

Timing: 

We met at 9 am, which to me is really way too early on a sunday. Heheh...  But lo and behold, the weather kept herself real well and Miss Sun shone hard and bright! Man, we were surprised at how humid it is trying to take photos. So may I suggest evening shot or a 7am cooling morning- do a photoshoot and brunch after!

Duration: 

It was done within a hour! Love the efficiency of the shoot! Children has short attention span! Oh may I add, this prissy mother too. I don't do well under the sun, my claws appear. But today, I kept them in real well!

Here are some of the photos! The rest are Here

Our Verdict?

We were so amazed by the turnout of the photos! The weather was just too hot for us and the 2 princesses were getting cranky (Prissy queen included :P). But the photos turned out just just so well!! I must add the patience of the Natuski is commendable, for she allowed a lot of free time for Victoria and Kate to warm up to the camera. Kate was slightly affected by the big lens and clicking machine. Natsuki and her assistant brought enough tools to keep the 2 of them entertained- Bubbles and all things fun. 

With such great experience with an outdoor shoot, we will be adding more to our portfolio! I must say photos taken outside really does have a upper edge than a studio!

Do you like it like how we did???
