Maryam Amelia, the new addition of our family

Alhamdulillah, our third baby has finally born on Saturday, 15th. of June 2013, which was also on Father's Day. This is the best Father's Day gift ever to me. She weighs 3kg and currently doing well. We are all very excited with her arrival.

My princess Mia Amani

She's going to be 3 years old this month, on the 21st. to be exact. How time flies so quickly and soon she will become a big sister.

P/s: Apologise for the lack of update in my blog. Been busy since we came back to Malaysia for good.

A Black & White Portrait of My AdaMia

Kids Fun Time

Now that it's spring and almost summer time, day time is a lot longer. Sometimes when I come back home early from work, I will bring the kids to Little Venice park or playground while Mommy is busy preparing dinner at home. Both the park & the playground are very near to our house, about 15-20 minutes walk with the kids...heh..

My Two Little Angels

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my two little angels playing together and enjoying each other's company.

It's Spring Time!!!

Spring is here! We are really excited! The sun was out today so we took the opportunity to do what we always love to do with the kids, going for a picnic in a park! We are lucky because there are lots of them in London. I remember last time every week we went to a different park and this time we will do the same because it's probably gonna be our last spring here before going back to Malaysia.

Adam Mikhael

This is Adam's latest photo which I took today when we went to Kensington Olympia because Mommy wanted to visit an Art Craft Convention which was held there. It's been quite a long time since I had a portraiture session just for Adam & Mia. In fact today wasn't actually mean for that, I just took as many pictures as possible as I was helping him doing his art work while Mommy and Mia were booth-hoping in different floor. The lighting wasn't that good & luckily I brought my 50mm. Even so, I still needed to use much higher ISO to get good & clear shots. I have been missing outdoor photo-shoots for my kids ever since winter started and now it's almost over, spring is just around the corner! Weehoo!

The BW Portraits of My Loved Ones

These pictures were taken in St. James Park near the Buckingham Palace. We went here when we were showing my sister-in-law around London's main tourist attractions on the weekend 2 weeks ago. We spent almost the entire day to visit Embankment, The Eye of London, Westminster Abbey, The Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and lastly St. James Park before heading off back home.

The Beautiful Autumn

Autumn is here and we just love it, even though the weather sometimes can be unbearably windy and cold. My sister-in-law, Aishah is here spending her university break with us. She's my wife's youngest sibling. So last weekend we decided to bring her to our favourite picnic spot, Kensington Garden, plus the weather was also just lovely. Since Aishah is around, so we took the opportunity asking her to take our family pictures because all this while I was always missing in most of our family photos..hehe..

We took quite a lot pictures and these are some of my favourite ones including those in my previous 2 entries.

Our own little family

Having picnic

Adam with his Maksu, Aishah..

Ever since we have our kids, we hardly take pictures together anymore. It's not that we don't want, it's just that we don't have the opportunity. In fact in this photo, Adam was holding us both between our legs..hehe..So I told Aishah to just take the picture halfway up. Sorry Adam..hehe..

Don't you think she looks like my wife a little bit? First few days after she arrived, Mia was confused her with Mommy. But after that, she seems to be able to differentiate them..hehe..

Taking break...

Mia Amani | BW Portrait

I love the simplicity of BW photos especially on portraits. It simply takes all the colour distractions away and make the subject more standing out. But it is very difficult to get a very good and strong BW picture because not all pictures fit well in BW.

I'm no expert in photography, still got a lot to learn. Hope this portrait of my lovely daughter, Mia looks good in BW. I think it's suitable for BW because the hood somehow gives good contrast that makes her face stands out and evoke the emotion better. However, the shadow on her face is a little bit distracting but I think it's OK because sometimes imperfections are good to make something look more natural =)

My 3 Years Old Son, Adam Mikhael

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM MIKHAEL!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

The Joy of Childhood

On the second day raya, we had no special plan and no "open house" invitation either, so we decided to come to this Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park. It's been almost a month I guess, since we started fasting, we hardly bring the kids to park. It was wonderful to see how much Adam and Mia were enjoying it. We had a great time there even though it was just a very short visit.
