As many of you know, I recently traveled to Malaysia and not to just have fun. I went to photograph the adorable 5 month cutie known as Jenise. Jenise has a heritage that spans two hemispheres...her father's family in the US and her mother's family in Malaysia. This trip was all about her first taste of Malaysia and what an amazing trip it was.
There is so much to say about my trip, that I can put it all in one post so I will have to let my photographs speak for themselves. Each slide show is about a different part of the trip. Since Jenise's dad has not partaken in some of the glories of Sabah (where we were), he took this opportunity to take us along as his partners in crime. Because of that we were truly privileged to see so many wonderful sights and believe me we didn't see them all so I just might need to go back.
It is such a touching and intimate experience to be so completely let into the life of a family. It is the ultimate compliment to be entrusted with so many memories all at one time. Jenise met her aunts and uncles for the first time, her dad climbed a mountain for the first time, Jenise met all of her mother's childhood friends, and she was able to play with her cousins for the first time. And, we recorded it, so now Jenise will have the most amazing gift from her parents...images that show her first trip to Malaysia and all that it encompasses.
If you are interested in talking to me about visiting Malaysia, just send me an email. J's family owns an amazing tour company that helped make our experiences so awesome and easy. They can do the same for you!
I can't not say thank you enough for the trust you have placed in me to bring me half way around the world to photograph your daughter. You are an amazing family and I can't wait until our next adventure together.
To view the photos:

Cheers,
Jessica
