The weekend I went to shoot the Tan family was one surprise after another. Mr and Mrs Tan and family, as it turned out, were related to another family that had their pictures taken by FIFOTO. After they had seen the pictures, they decided to have some of their own. When I met Mr Tan we both realized that I’d taught him photography before. It’s a small world after all it seems…

We started with the family portraits because grandma Tan had a strict sleep cycle. Once those were done with, we moved outside to this quaint little backyard. They had 2 lamp posts in their backyard! It was too good to pass up. We had so many crazy ideas that half my job was done for me before I even clicked a shutter. We had Mom and Dad reenact a marriage proposal. We had everyone pile up onto Dad. Everyone started jumping! Amazing energy considering the heat outside! Then we moved indoors and upstairs where we found props for the siblings and basically mucked about. Everyone got into it and I do mean EVERYONE! 2 hours felt like it had 4 hours jammed into it and even at the end we still had ideas. Definitely in the running for craziest shoot…
