Andrea's Maternity Session

Jan 24, 2021

If there is one thing that lights the creative fire in my belly, it's studio maternity sessions. And Andrea's session was one of those where I was able to create the look and tones that I really wanted.It was also a big help that Andrea knew what looks and poses she wanted for her session. I really appreciate it when clients share their vision with me as then the session becomes a collaborative experience for both of us!

We were not quite sure whether it was going to rain or not.It was almost like a metaphor for the current situation all over the world. Everything is so uncertain.But Khali was an image of strength, confidence, and happiness in her photos. No matter how unpredictable the weather became, she was unfazed and smiled and posed for ...

Why I Became A Professional Photographer?

Jul 26, 2020

Welcome to the Yeng Acelar Photography blog! For my very first blog post, I will tell you two life events that made me decide to take photography from a hobby into a side hustle. So here we go!Different Time, Different PlacesWhen I had my first child more than a decade ago, newborn photos weren't a "thing" yet. If anyone can remember Anne Geddes and Celine Dion's collaborative book, Miracle: A Celebration of New Life, came out around 2004 and that genre of baby photography hasn't ...
