The Hendriks {Jakarta Sessions}

As an Asia Based family photographer, it is a true delight to have the privilege to travel around making images and telling stories, connecting hearts and weaving memories in all sorts of places. There are times when I think about the people that I get to meet and I’m nearly bent double with gratitude; all of these people who come into my life and teach me something about living: it’s a gift.

These days, as a Kuala Lumpur family photographer, I’m mostly shooting around KL, but a good handful of weeks ago, I was off to Jakarta, capturing wonderful, open hearted people there.

These guys I knew from ages ago. Our children used to run together (before they could all even walk!), chasing bugs, exploring, creating silly games. Mundane, quotidian but after school, when the sun bent low, and the cool air enfolded us, it felt like magic.

So, you can imagine my delight to get to come back, see this city where my family grew from three to four, and delight again, in watching these two gorgeous little ones play and tumble and discover. Bigger bodies, but same sweet hearts.

Wanna make some magic with me in KL? I’d love to photograph you family, and learn from you a little more about what it means to be a human.
