A few years ago, I met Stephanie in Hong Kong while photographing an event in Central. Like me, her and her husband Tom’s move to Hong Kong from the US marked a chapter in their developing careers. Earlier this year, Stephanie was 7-months pregnant and had asked me to help photograph a maternity portrait session in her home. We took our time to plan our shots which would eventually be slightly fine-art in nature and a little less photojournalistic than my other portraiture.

Last April, in the early hours of Sunday morning, Stephanie gave birth to beautiful baby Gabriel. Here are some of the pregnancy and newborn baby shots (taken at 8 weeks).

Their adorable 11 month old baby SikSik also came along for the shoot.

I had scouted a few locations in the park that I liked the day before, but beyond that we also revisited a few spots near the marriage registry office to reenact some shots and poses from their original wedding photos from four years ago. Awwww! great idea!

I headed to Pok Fu Lam to take some shots of them at sunset.

Although in my opinion, her motive for moving out here was far more “rational” (a post with the US Consulate), and mine a little less so (girlfriend). Anyway, her brother and family were visiting town from Atlanta so we did a small portrait session indoors and then walked around Wanchai to take in some good HK autumn weather. Few more images on my facebook page.

Larry is an older dog and scared us a bit recently when he got really really sick. He’s since bounced back in a big way, so Julie, Jason and I were able to take him for some portraits at the dog park in Wanchai. Big dude was tough to keep up with running around, chewing up grass, jumping on other dogs, and chomping on crackers cookie-monster-style.

I am loving the wide-angle prime lens for pet photography, who says a 20mm isn’t good for portraits?
