We took part in the Steph Tan Photography ‘Pass It On’ marathon last year and were very eager to be part of it again this year. We dragged the kids out of the house and made it to the Tembusu tree in Singapore Botanic Gardens by 8.30am for our half-hour photo shoot. The colours of their matching chevron outfits from ELLY looked really good against the mainly green and brown background!

This took place just 2 days after Adam’s fall so he still wasn’t in the best of moods for the shoot. He was weepy and just wanted to sit in a corner and drink milk. But Steph worked her magic, and with the help of bubbles and dirt, we got some very lovely shots within that short time. By the end of the session, the kids were basically down in the dirt playing with the twigs and dead leaves and such, so Steph captured them in this very organic state. She probably thinks my kids are savages!

My absolute favourite photos from the shoot:
