We have the honor to document the Ngkoo family one morning in Sentosa. I personally have known Joyce, the mother, for quite some time as she is my cousin’s best friend. Getting to know her children gets a little tricky, you see… not only she has 1 or 2 child… but she has 5 children! She is blessed with a boy, a girl, a boy, a girl again and a boy again. Amazing right? And their names all starts with K.

Here we are at the Sentosa while they are having some holiday off from school to stay over at the Crockfords Tower, an invitation only hotel that is designed by Michael Graves. Having majored in interior design, I got a chance to learn about Michael Graves when I was in uni and have been in love with his work since. And of course, entering the lobby, I have to act cool… but deep down.. I was looking at hotel in awe and dancing away =p

Anyway, these are some of my favorites… hope you enjoy them =)

Kelsey, the 2nd daughter and the 4th child, sleeping away….

Kendrick, also known as Em, short for Emperor, lovesss to roll his eyes until most of the black are gone, so I asked him where he learned it from. He proudly said… “Myself” =)

So blessed to be able to witness our best friend’s son growing up. Timo is such an intelligent boy, thanks to both nerdy parents, Arlin and Hans =p The knitted pants that you see on Timo is done by Arlin herself <3

Here is Timo at 4 months old, I remembered him sleeping in my arms when he was younger coz my arms is like a big huge cushion. Haha. Hope you enjoy the series =)

It all started when we both left our jobs to pursue the dream we dreamt of.
A year ago today, we started that dream.
A year ago today, the wagyu story was officially established!

A year ago today, we started with a team of 2.

Today, we’re a team of talented, dedicated, creative, and always hungry party of 5.

Today, we are celebrating our 1st year together and we would like to thank God for His unbelievable and never ending blessings for us.

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to THANK all our families, friends and clients for the amazing support and trust.

And this below, is for YOU all =)

Children are inheritance from God. Those are the words written on Bryan’s Noah’s Ark Cake. It’s really heartwarming to see that in everything this family do, they always thank God for their every blessings.

Henry was my senior back in San Jose and he was the one driving the “new kids” around, befriended them and bringing them to church. One of the “new kids” was me, and I’ve always treasure the friendships I’ve come across in San Jose. And I’m glad that we are still able to keep in touch after so long =)

A couple of weeks ago, Henry and Theresia’s son Bryan just turned 1. And they did a Noah’s ark theme. Birthdays are always an awesome way of gathering close friends and family to spend time with one another and simply enjoying each other’s company. I love everything about the party. The decorations were so colorful and creative, the games were so much fun, great food and of course… the cake! The cake was definitely my favorite!! Everyone had such an amazing time, as you’ll see… expressions don’t lie =)

Happy Birthday Bryan <3 I hope when you grow up and see these photos, you’ll see that you’re surrounded by people who love you and parents who would give anything in this world for you. God bless and have fun growing up! but don’t grow up too fast =p

I love this photo… there’s so much love in Theresia’s eyes

I love children and their funny expressions =p

David is one of my favorite kids, he’s able to talk with me like an adult!

He was so excited playing with his balloons that he forgot to wipe his mouth.. hehehe =)

Aren’t they cute =)

The adults were having so much fun too =)

Bryan showing off his precious teeth =p

I love it when children were hold onto tightly in their father’s arms. Remind me of the time when my dad used to carry me around to get me to sleep

This is Imelda, Henry’s sister. Thanks for chatting with me during the party Ci =)

David reminds me of my brother. He definitely looks like my brother (I have to show this to my mom)

The party was held in Pizza Marzano, Senayan City in Jakarta.

The blessed family

Hehe. I love how the other 2 kids gather around the table and wishing they were blowing the candles as well.

Under the Noah’s ark cake are these cupcakes. And look at what I found! What’s wagyu without a cow, right?

Have a blessed day everyone!

Please feel free to comment/critique/shout out/anything you wanna say =) We’d appreciate it!

Hi everyone =) I hope your week has been going on great. It has been a busy yet blessed week for us. One of the highlights that we had was a family photo with my cousin’s family, Philip. I’m so blessed that even my own family support us in our photo business. We really appreciate it guys!

Kathyrssa and Karl are their precious children and they are only 364 days apart =) They both love flowers so much that they start plucking the flowers in the garden. I got scared that someone might actually caught them and fine them. Well… you guys know how fine Singapore is, right? ;p We hope you guys enjoy this series =)

Both Kathyrssa and Karl love kissing. They kiss each other, they kiss their parents, they kiss me too =D

The kids got hungry after 10 min we arrived at the park. Luckily, I bring my “I-can’t-live-without” macadamia chocolate chip famous amos cookies =D I love how they enjoyed each every bite of the chocolate melted cookies =)

Karl loves loves looveesssss flowers, his face lights up when he’s surrounded by them =)

I love how she’s so full of life =)

I’ve always love how father interacts with the daughter… remind me of my own dad… I <3 my dad

I’m glad I caught them silently… hehe

Kathyrssa has lots and lots of expressions… this expression is the one she can compete with Karl (look at the photo after this)

His mom said that this is one of Karl’s favorite expression. hehe. He’s so funny even when he looks angry.

We were talking about how awkward my cousin’s smile is, and earlier, he was telling Karl that his smile is awkward too. And we’re like “dude… look at yourself!” hahaha… and he started laughing out loud.

Here is the awkward smile we were talking about… hahaha

The gorgeous mom

I love how their parents are calling them over, so welcoming and filled with love. Look at how excited Kathyrssa is. The reason why Karl was walking slowly is because he’s holding his precious flowers in his hands and he makes sure than none fell off =)

Please feel free to comment/critiques/say anything you want.

Have a blessed week ahead everyone!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had a wonderful celebration. We celebrated ours with our family in Fukuoka – Japan, counting down ourselves while watching fireworks all around the world on CNN. No, it doesn’t sound as pathetic as it seemed, we had an awesome time together =D

We came back last week and had a chance to do family shoot for Sam & Susanna’s family. Susanna is my cousin and she has been wanting to get her family portraits done for a while now. We finally got a chance to do it =) It was definitely quite a challenge for us as her kids are super active. And they are not quite fond of people with “big guns”. Moreover, it was their first time meeting Tata and he carried a huge turtle back pack full with big guns. But we love the results and we had so much fun shooting them. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.

Introducing Abigail, she’s 5, the big sister. She’s definitely a sweetheart. She loves her sister and brother so much; we could definitely see it in her actions. To others she acts cool, but when it comes to her sister and brother, she becomes goofy. haha

We love this photo of Abi. Look at her, she definitely has some model potential =)

Jacqueline is the one that won’t stop moving. She knows exactly what she wants and what she doesn’t want. She loves her TV and of course, her DS. I love her sweet smile, it just melts my heart. Oh..she just turned 3 on 01.01.10. Happy Birthday Jacq! See the doll and her pink shoes..those were her birthday presents from her grandma…so sweet!! =)

Little Warren is 18 months old. He’s the precious little boy and anyone who meet him, just adores him. He and his bolster goes together like peanut butter and jelly. The way to make him sleep is to give him his bolster. =)

We snucked in when Warren was asleep, took his bolster away from him and shot a few photos of him sleeping. hehe…

Aww…aren’t they sweet?

The proud mom =)

One big happy feet family.. hehe..

Have a blessed Sunday =)
