What does it feel like to really experience unconditional love? Sometimes while we try to teach our children all about love, our children teach us what love is all about. This is the way baby Anaïs’ parents felt after she was born. When we first saw today’s family session, we were instantly smitten with this little girl and the intimate, natural images captured by Roger Wu. Such beautiful light and the sweetest moments perfectly presented with genuine love! Join us as we share this lovely family story.
From the parents, Patrick & Sandrine: Parenthood was a new journey that we were excited to embark on but at the same time a bit scared too. When we first learned that we were expecting, it felt like our lives would never be the same! Will we have less couple time? Will we turn into sleepless zombies? Will we become slaves of a little human with no more social life?
The pregnancy was such a magical journey. We remember the first time we heard her heartbeat during a prenatal check up, the first kick in mommy’s belly and the first time we met her the day she was born.
The next chapter was even more magical. The day Anaïs was born, our lives did change but it changed for the best. Nothing could have prepared us to imagine how much love we felt for such a little being. We immediately felt in love, overwhelmed by joy and pride. She was beautiful and we couldn’t stop looking at her!
Patrick & Sandrine: Of course there were those times with breastfeeding struggles, sleepless nights or poo explosions, but with just a little teethless grin from her, everything was worth it.
A year later, we have learned so much from her, from being just the two of us to being a family of three. She completes us, making our bond stronger. We are changed forever – we are parents to a beautiful little girl: ANAÏS.
Patrick & Sandrine: 帶孩子當然有很多挑戰需要克服，像是餵奶的辛苦、失眠的夜，和弄得一團亂的便便! 但是只要孩子露出一個可愛的微笑，我們就覺得一切挑戰都是值得的!
From the photographer, Roger Wu: Simple and geniune were my vision for this photoshoot. I wanted to capture the intimacy between Anaïs and her parents through their natural interaction in everyday life. Natural light was used throughout the session. A simple photograph helps people to remember and to create an everlasting moment, and that’s what I’m trying to express through this photoshoot.
Roger Wu: I had the honor to photograph Patrick & Sandrine’s wedding back in 2012, and two years later, Anaïs was born. It’s amazing to see how much this couple’s life grew and transformed because of Anaïs. During the photoshoot I was so touched to see the way Patrick held his baby daughter, with true love shining through his eyes. I wanted to capture this precious love completely and geniunely. I wish the warmth from Patrick & Sandrine’s love will forever surround baby Anaïs as she begins her beautiful journey of life.
Roger Wu: 2012年，我有幸拍攝Sandrine & Patrick的婚禮, 參與了他們生命中最重要的時刻。兩年後 Anaïs誕生了，看著他們的生命中的變化和成長，感受迎接新生命的喜悅與美好，我感到無比的激動和欣喜!

Roger Wu (吳秉謙): 愛是婚禮的靈魂，我追逐著祂， 從美學出發，紀實烙下巂永片刻。在光影漫妙處，捕捉內在風景，父親的擁抱、母親的淚水、情人的承諾，片刻光影沒有機會從來，為別具意義的一天，披上劇照般的戲劇性光澤，真摯樸實的一瞬，足以溫習一輩子。我喜歡真情流淌的照片，那裡藏有世上最美的風景， 我在尋找這樣的新人，如果您跟我有一樣的想法，也喜歡我的照片，請與我聯繫，期待能參與你們的婚禮盛會，見證你們的愛情!
