Denh Lay Photography

When you capture pure carefree joy ❤️
My focus in my family portrait sessions is always to create an environment where kids feel safe and confident to express themselves. Be crazy, be nutty, be quiet, be inquisitive. Be however they’re most comfortable being because isn’t that how we wish to remember them? So yes, I let them run wild a bit but rest assured, they always come back ;)

This family wanted to celebrate Nan’s special birthday in style and ended up purchasing a gift certificate for a family portrait session. Such an honour to be trusted to capture these precious moments for a special someone who obviously has everything she needs in her life. It was a joy to spend time in the glorious sun with this ultra cool family. Particularly loved bringing to life their ‘sunnies’ project. A true reflection of the fun loving family that they are 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

“Most painless photoshoot ever” said the men.
“That was actually fun. Denh is fun” said the kids!
“Can’t wait to see the photos” said the Mums 😊

And so grateful for kind words from Nan… “Thank you very very much for arranging this.  The photo shoot was such fun and today was lovely to be together to select the photos together.  Denh is a very nice person and it was a pleasure to spend time with her.  Please thank her sincerely on behalf of Dad and I”

Newborn bliss ♥️ Those first 2 weeks when all they want to do is eat and sleep. If your newborn session occurs in this period, we’re more likely to get these dreamy moments. And trust me, these moments are to be treasured because they only grow more alert and eager to play :)

Loved my quiet time spent with little Miss S who was simply a perfect little model ♥️

When you have wanted a beautiful family portrait for soooo long but have never had the time and you finally get round to doing it!!! With three kids under 7, I totally understand why time is an issue :) But as for all my families, you never regret doing it. They don’t stay this squishy for long! 😊

Absolutely thrilled to capture these stunning memories for this gorgeous, oh so laid back family :) Loved how warm and inviting this large feature canvas turned out too.

Life get’s busy with children for sure. There is never enough hours in a day to do everything you need and want to do for your family or yourself. Before you know it, the day is gone, the year is gone. As a family photographer, I obviously see the value of capturing precious memories but yet time eludes me also.

So yes, I totally understand when families come for family photos and it’s the first time in 5 years… or 10. I feel privileged for the opportunity because I truly appreciate the effort. I like to be involved in planning to ensure I don’t waste their precious time. I want to capture all that is meaningful. Ultimately, I love creating artwork that will last a lifetime. A cherished memory frozen in time so you can gaze upon in another 5 or 10 years and relive that heartfelt moment like it was yesterday. After all, don’t we all want to turn back time?
