The Chngs | A Bali Family Photoshoot Journey from Babymoon to Family of Four

The first time I photographed the Chng family was in December 2019, when Charlene and her husband were expecting their first baby during their babymoon at Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach. It was such a lovely time to capture this special chapter of their lives as they prepared to welcome their little one. In 2022, I had the pleasure of seeing them again, this time at InterContinental Bali Resort. What a joy it was to photograph them as a family of four, now with their two little ones! Looking back at those photos, it’s amazing to see how much had changed in just a few years. And now, here we are again, reuniting for another family session at Renaissance Bali Nusa Dua Resort. The kids have grown so much, and it’s wonderful to see how quickly time has passed. Each time I photograph a returning family, I’m reminded that these sessions are about more than just taking pictures. They’re also about documenting the little changes, growing personalities, and precious moments that make every s...

Three years after photographing Julia’s maternity session in Ubud, it was such a joy to see her and Dan again, this time with their little boy, Max, as they prepare to welcome their second baby. It’s always special to reconnect with a family and capture another beautiful chapter of their story. Set against the warm and intimate setting of their villa at Hubuddha Ubud, this session was a beautiful celebration of their growing family and the exciting new chapter ahead. As a photographer, I feel incredibly lucky whenever a family chooses to come back to me to capture another milestone in their lives. It means so much to know that they trust me to preserve these precious memories, not just once, but again as their family grows. Seeing Dan, Julia, and Max again after three years makes this session all the more special, and I’m truly grateful to be part of their journey.

From the peaceful villa where they were staying to the lush rice terraces and the beautiful Ulu Petanu Waterfall, Melanie & Alexandre’s honeymoon photoshoot in Ubud was a celebration of love, captured in the soft glow of the early morning light.

After spending time apart in a long-distance relationship between Indonesia and Australia, Ria and King finally celebrated their wedding surrounded by the people closest to them at Phalosa Villa Bali. A day before their wedding, the couple took us on a relaxed photo tour around Nusa Dua and Melasti Beach.

Sherlina & Albert’s Pre Wedding Session in Karangasem - A Day of Love, Laughter & Bali’s Timeless Beauty

For Sherlina and Albert, this trip to Bali was more than just a pre-wedding session, it was a week of love, laughter, and quiet adventures that will stay in their hearts forever. Coming all the way from Jambi, they turned their pre-wedding journey into a full Bali experience, exploring hidden gems, tasting local flavors, and soaking in the island’s gentle rhythm. At sunrise, we wandered through the Savana Tianyar, where the golden light unveiled the majestic Mount Agung in all its glory. Later, a hidden rice field revealed its calm beauty, fresh, green, and soothing to the eyes. The day continued with laughter under the sun, sipping fresh coconuts at Bukit Asah overlooking the white sandy beach below. And as the day drew to a close, we watched the sunset paint the sky above the marigold fields, a quiet, golden ending to a perfect day. Every corner of Karangasem seems to echo Bali’s timeless beauty, from its mountains to the sea, from the first light of dawn to the glow of dusk. For She...

Henderson Family: A Candid Holiday Session at Renaissance Nusa Dua Bali

After two wonderful years, the Henderson family returned to Bali this time choosing the serene beauty of Renaissance Nusa Dua over the lively beaches of Kuta. The change of scenery brought a sense of calm and elegance, perfectly fitting for their growing family story. Two years ago, they came as a trio, just the three of them enjoying Bali’s golden sands. This time, they arrived as five, joined by the grandparents who added an extra layer of warmth and joy to every frame. Seeing three generations together, laughing, playing, and sharing moments by the pool and gardens, was truly special. As a photographer, there’s something deeply fulfilling about reconnecting with familiar faces and witnessing how their love story keeps expanding. The Hendersons’ laughter was still the same, their energy just as bright only now, it carried the tenderness of family bonds that have grown even richer over time. Some families don’t just visit Bali; they return, reconnect, and leave a little piece of their...

Yip Family’s Beautiful Holiday Memories in Grand Hyatt Bali

Some photo sessions just feel effortless and this one with the Yip Family was exactly that. We spent a lovely afternoon together at Grand Hyatt Bali, wandering through its lush gardens and quiet beachfront corners. It was a mini session in the late afternoon, but filled with genuine laughter and easy moments that flowed naturally. The Yips are one of those families who make you forget you’re working kind, joyful, and so much fun to explore the hotel grounds with. Between the soft light of the golden hour and the warm energy they brought, every frame felt alive with connection and happiness. I’ve photographed here several times, and each visit reminds me why this is one of my favorite locations in Bali spacious, vibrant, and full of beautiful corners that make every session enjoyable. Sometimes it doesn’t take a long session to create something memorable just the right people, the right light, and a few beautiful minutes together.

Warm Light and Gentle Love: Angel’s Ubud Maternity Photoshoot

In the quiet heart of Ubud, as the afternoon light softened through the trees, Angel embraced her second journey into motherhood. At her serene home, surrounded by her husband and little daughter, the maternity session in Bali unfolded in warmth and laughter. As a Bali maternity photographer, I always find something magical in Ubud, the way the light filters through the trees, the calm rhythm of nature, and how families open their hearts to the camera so genuinely. There’s something timeless about a pregnancy photoshoot at home, the comfort, the intimacy, the gentle rhythm of family moments. Angel’s quiet grace, her daughter’s tender curiosity, and the golden light all came together beautifully, capturing the calm joy of this season of becoming. Every glance, every touch, every smile, a reminder that love, like light, only grows.
