Like every year for school summer break we were headed for Germany. Lucky for us, my parents have room for us and pretend not to be annoyed with our presence too much. No seriously, we get very spoiled for weeks and it’s the best. On top of that the kids lucked out with their school…
Bali feels like a .. mmh.. fourth home to us. One of our favourite families moved there a while back ago, so from then on we kept the yearly trips going. This year was different as Bonnie and I got to catch up there. Oh and the kids. And Nick joined us for a few…
Once we had decided to skip the last night in Kundasang we made the best out of the time we had left there. A stopover at the hot springs made for a nice break while driving back to KK, we especially enjoyed the tree top walk a lot. After not being successful at finding dinner…
We always take our annual family vacation over Easter – the kids have two weeks off, the limited vacation days Nick has are topped off with public holidays and over summer we are in Germany for so long that we get some quality family time in before that.

But when they visit, we get lots of real quality time together. After almost a decade of living here even our family feels partly at home in Hong Kong….
Since we live 10 mins from the beach, we spend a ton of time there. Who wouldn’t! I do love in-home sessions, but the beach is an all time favourite with kids and no one gets bored there, ever. The ocean, sand and sunshine are a safe bet for amazing, fun and candid photos. Needless…
I love longer photo sessions for many reasons. Because it gives everyone time to connect and relax. The kids realise they don’t have to perform and can be themselves. Once everyone forgets the camera, honest personalities shine through. Kids might melt down parents might lose it, but this is life and it’s messy and beautiful….
Documenting special life events for families is a great privilege. Even more so if the little one to be baptised is your niece. During events for my own family, I often feel torn between being in the moment with them and being on the outside documenting it. This was totally fun though as we were not…
