Sumba Holiday Photography | Foto Liburan Keluarga Herlambang

Sumba, the second time around, the first time I went there it was three years ago, traveling with my friends for a week. This one was for a personal holiday photographer for Herlambang Family from Jakarta, that we got to spend two days capturing their holiday on the land of Sandalwood. We explored this charming island from Waingapu all the way to Waikabubak. As I always had felt everytime I traveled, the time was never long enough to experience the joy.

Two day roadtrip was very fun with this small family, greet the morning on the Persaudaraan Hill, but then suddenly out car got stalled! So we decided to take a walk and have lunch on the way at a beautiful lavished village with its beautiful traditional houses. If only our car hadn't stalled, we would've gone to the waterfall, the road was a little bit challenging, slippery and all because it rained for a while. We caught the rain in the village of Prai Ijing, but we got to enjoy the freshness of young coconut on the Walakiri Beach. As we left for Wairinding Hill,  the weather switched to be as hot as it could be LOL and then we went on souvenir shopping frenzy in Raja Parailiu Village, they had an eye for the renowned beautiful East Sumba woven fabrics. 

As the trip continued, it took us hours to get to the Tanarara, but we were spoiled by the magical, unique, too-charming-not-to-capture Sumba landscapes along the way! I hadn't quite found the addictive Sumbanese food, as we had seafood more while we were there, yet the seafood was as delicious as most of the seafood dish elsewhere. Come to Sumba if you haven't been there! I certainly recommend Sumba worth to visit. Up until today I haven't got a chance to see the Pasola Festival, shall it wait for my third visit?

Setelah usai menjelajah Sumba, Kelurga Herlambang melanjutkan liburan mereka selama beberapa hari di Bali, senang bertemu mereka lagi dan lebih senang lagi jika ada banyak kesempatan lain untuk dapat mengabadikan liburan keluarga lain untuk menjelajah keseluruh pelosok negeriku tercinta, Indonesia.

As a photographer who loves all gender of photography, it is very easy for me to love Istanbul. The stunning landscape, unique culture, adorned and beautiful architectures are in every corner of the city. After a week seeing the glory of the past and the grandiose civilisation in Istanbul with my beloved friends, Sandy and Fadli, now it was time to explore Pamukkale and Cappadocia/Goreme. In Denizli province we only visited the Cleopatra thermal bath, the beautiful Pamukkale calcium travertine/terraces, and Hierapolis building one of the sites of UNESCO world heritage center, you must visit these places when you are in Turkey. In Cappadocia or Kapadokya in Turkish, we live in Goreme the heart of Cappadocia National Park. Goreme is a beautiful town with an unique landscape, it's mind blowing. Cappadocia cannot be separated from ceramics, carpets and hot air balloon. I was very lucky now I could see and get on the balloon just like what I saw on book covers or desktop w

Elyssia Pregnancy | Gorgeous Beach Maternity Photoshoot in Bali

Elyssia flew from California to have a babymoon  for more than a week in Bali, refreshing body and mind with Jabba, the beloved husband before their baby girl will born to the world. A baby girl that they'd been expecting for all of these times since all of their siblings' children were all boys!  During this holiday, Elyssia spared some time for a maternity photoshoot at Gunung Payung Beach in that one drizzling morning, she looked so sophisticated. Her pregnancy was on the seventh month, and her baby bump looked perfect, very lovely for the photoshoot. The white dress she was wearing, flared as the ocean breeze blew. A stunning mommy to be!   She was glowing, although it was cloudy during photoshoot, but still this was gorgeous beach maternity photoshoot in Bali.
