Timeless Beauty in Every Moment
A great portrait isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. No heavy editing, no trends, just real moments in natural light. Because the beauty of being yourself will never go out of style.
Capturing Timeless Portraits for Future Generations
I've recently had the opportunity to visit a senior home and capture some beautiful moments of the elderly residents. Real, genuine photos can last forever, preserving precious memories for future generations. I’m planning to interview some of the residents, document their thoughts and feelings, and create a book with their photos and stories.
Would you be interested in a keepsake that tells the story of your grandparents? Imagine having a beautiful photo book with their words and pictures – a treasure for their descendants.
I’m passionate about helping families keep these memories alive. Let me help you capture your loved ones’ stories and turn them into a meaningful legacy.

Can your phone capture cherry blossoms beautifully?
Want to head to the park to enjoy the warm weather and the beautiful cherry blossoms? Here are a few tips to help you take better photos with your phone:
📷 Find Your Light: Cherry blossoms look their best in soft, natural light. Try taking pictures on a cloudy day or during the golden hour to avoid harsh shadows.
📷 Keep It Steady: To capture sharp photos of these delicate flowers, hold your phone steady with both hands, and take a deep breath before you press the shutter button.
📷 Simplify the Scene: To let the cherry blossoms stand out, keep the background simple and avoid clutter. You can try shooting from a lower angle to point upwards, which helps avoid capturing the surrounding crowd in your photo.
Lastly, if you’re planning a picnic and want to create lasting memories with friends and family, feel free to message me for a professional photoshoot. 🌸
Are Your Photos Future-Proof?
Discover Why Shooting in RAW is the Key to Timeless Photography!
For all my fellow camera enthusiasts, I know RAW files can take up a lot of space, but trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. The value of shooting in RAW cannot be overstated.
With the future of photo editing constantly evolving, new techniques and software can drastically change how we bring our images to life. Storing your photos in RAW format preserves the maximum amount of information, providing unparalleled flexibility for future edits—something compressed formats like JPG just can’t offer.
Embrace RAW to keep your options wide open, turning your good photos into unforgettable masterpieces with the latest in editing technology 😌
（This is why I’ve purchased 10TB of cloud storage to properly preserve my clients‘ photos.）
Life in Focus: The Quest for the Ideal Lens
Choosing the right lens for photography is like picking the best glasses to see the world clearly. Imagine you can only carry one special lens for a trip. Which one would it be?
I love using the “nifty fifty” lens because it’s like seeing through your own eyes—everything looks real and natural. But, my newest favourite is the 56mm F1.4 lens. It’s awesome in dim light and makes the background look dreamy while keeping the person you’re photographing clear and lifelike.
Some people think the “nifty fifty” is too simple, like drinking plain water. But I feel plain water is refreshing and always good, just like how this lens captures moments that never go out of style.
It’s all about keeping memories looking beautiful and true, just like how we remember them❤️
What‘s your go-to lens that captures the world as you see it, and why does it speak to your heart? 🙂
Unlock Love: Tips to Snap Your Way into Their Heart
Hey there! Just a quick tip for my single friends out there trying to catch someone special's eye, especially if you're swiping away on dating apps.
Find a spot right by a window where the natural light is just perfect. Hold your camera or phone a bit above your eye level, slightly off to the side. Lean back just a tad, and then either gaze straight into the camera or act like someone just called your name from a bit off to the side. Make sure your nose and eyes are pointing the same way.
And you know what? Don’t stress about flashing a big smile. Just keep it real and let your natural charm shine through. This little trick can make a world of difference, making you look even more fabulous and genuine.
Sometimes, simple and authentic photos are truly the best 🤗
I hope these tips help you find that special someone to celebrate Valentine's Day with next time ❤️

📸 Your Ultimate Guide to Nailing That Passport Photo Shoot
Heading into our Canadian passport photo shoot? Here are some quick tips to ensure your photo is picture-perfect:
Size Matters: Aim for a photo size of 2x2.75 inches, capturing your essence from chin to crown. The ideal facial height is between 1.24 and 1.44 inches, framing you just right.
Back It Up: Opt for a plain, white/ light background to serve as your canvas, highlighting your true self without any distractions.
Strike a Pose: Stand facing forward with your shoulders even, sporting a natural, serious expression. This isn't the time for runway smiles, but rather, a chance to show off the real you.
Dress the Part: Stay true to your usual style but avoid Halloween costumes and camouflage. We're aiming to showcase the everyday superstar that you are.
Glasses On or Off?: If you normally wear glasses, keep them on but ensure there is no glare. Remember, tinted lenses are not allowed; we want to see your eyes clearly!
Keep It Current: Snap this shot within the last six months. It's all about the present you, not the 'I've changed a bit since then' you.
Final Friendly Reminder: Avoid wearing pure white attire to prevent blending into the background, which could result in you looking like a floating head! For the gents, consider using a bit of powder or tissues to minimize any facial shine for that flawless finish.
Don't worry about all the other small details and relax; I've got everything covered to ensure we get a great shot. 🤗
The True Colours of My Art
Capturing moments is more than a click for me; it's an art of storytelling. I've always put my heart into each shot, fine-tuning every colour and shade. But I was heartbroken to see my carefully crafted images lose their essence when printed by external shops. That's why I now take the extra step to print these stories myself, ensuring every photo not only showcases the best quality but also stays true to the emotion and detail I originally envisioned.
It's not just a photo; it's a memory, printed to be felt, not just seen.
(The top photo was printed by another shop, the bottom one is printed by me.)
