Welcome to a pocket of magic right here in Hong Kong! A corner of this city that is my heart home. This is one of my favourite on location photo shoot spots in Hong Kong. We’ll capture the joy, connection, and little details that make your family unique, while having fun exploring a gorgeous setting.
Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your Tin Hau beach session with Lullaby Images. Think of it as a snapshot of your family’s love and connection, set against the natural beauty of Clear Water Bay. The Tin Hau temple is a short 5 minute downhill walk from the road, and faces the ocean. It makes for lovely back drop with red doors and temple details. Down a few more steps leads out to a pier jetty and on the other side, a beach which nine times of ten, ends up being our very own private escape. It is usually, also very clean and even in high tide, makes for a gorgeous setting.
- Keep It Fun & Stress-Free -
The best photo shoots here are all about authentic moments—the in-between giggles, tiny fingers in yours, and those fleeting expressions you’ll cherish forever. I’ll guide you gently, with a mix of candid play. There is never pressure to pose with my relaxed photo shoots —I want to capture your family as you are, full of love and connection. As this session does take place at the beach, the best captures will be moments when we embrace all the elements - wind, sand, and water are part of the magic! Let your littles explore and play, so please do bring a towel and change of clothes too, just incase...
╸ time & Light ╸
The session runs for 90 minutes and I normally like to start it around 2 hours before sunset. This helps us stay relaxed, so we don't rush. No one gets flustered and we can keep a wonderful happy vibe. We want to get the most from your little ones and those magic smiles. This time is ideal for soft, beautiful light too. I’ll confirm your exact time based on the season, the location and when the sun is due to set on the specific date.
╸wardrobe guide ╸
Do's
- Choose simple necklines, that don't flutter up and cover faces.
- Feel free to use layers & textures - they always photograph beautifully.
- Consider choosing neutral, warm, lighter, autumnal colour pallets i.e. beige, white, cream, brown, orange, red tones.
- Wear similar tones to each other, but keep in mind that you do not need to be 'matchy-matchy'.
- Embrace any jewelry you would like to wear.
- Bring a change of clothes and towel for after the photo shoot.
Don't
- Wear bold colours or busy loud patterns, unless that is so your thing :)
- Wear clothes with words splashed across.
- Wear your watch, unless it is sentimental, as the watch face is often distracting.
- Bring an outfit that has not been tried on i.e. please make sure it actually fits, especially little ones.
╸come prepared ╸
I like to bring along a blanket prop to use as a beach blanket for your to all cuddle together, and it also doubles up as a fun tool to play with your little one. We can swing them in it and play parachute... Please make sure to bring your normal out and about bag of tricks. The beach sand is safe to walk on, usually clean and without lots of rocks.
╸Being present ╸
The best photos happen when you’re present and having fun. So please keep your phone out of sight and enjoy slowing down time with your loved ones. It is such a joyful afternoon and way to preserve this season of your family’s story.
Life with little ones moves at the speed of light—one day they’re toddling on the sand, the next they’re racing ahead of you. This season, with all its chaos and beauty, is fleeting. That’s why I love leaning into these slow, connected moments: the way your child’s hand fits in yours, the sound of their laughter echoing off the rocks, the quiet pause when they stop to watch the water rippling. These are the moments that slip by unnoticed but become the memories you’ll hold closest.
This photo shoot isn’t just about capturing images; it’s about pausing to soak in the love, the mess, and the magic of right now. Years from now, these images will remind you of the joy you felt in the everyday—the kind of joy that’s easy to overlook but impossible to forget.
╸Directions ╸
Depending on which beach location you choose for the photo shoot, I will make sure to send you a google map pin drop on where to meet or park ahead of the photo shoot.
WHO IS BEHIND LULLABY IMAGES?
Hi! I'm Lu, a Hong Kong photographer specializing exclusively in newborn, baby and family portraits from my home studio in Clear Water Bay. Lullaby Images was established in 2016 and I have extensive training and experience in newborn baby posing and baby safety.

BOOKING ANNOUNCEMENT
I am normally fully booked 2 months in advance so if you are interested in a photoshoot, please reach out early!
I currently have bookings through until December 2025.
WAITLIST
If you have just come across my work and want to try to book a last minute shoot, I usually have a waitlist and will do what I can, where possible. Sometimes additional photo sessions are made available at the end of the month, for the following booking month. After I have updates from my confirmed clients regarding their pregnancies and birth plans, I am sometimes able to wiggle in 1-2 more sessions. If you would like to be waitlisted for these, please do get in contact.
I hate saying 'no', so please help me say it less by reaching out to talk about your newborn photography session well before your due date. I only take on a limited number of bookings a month
and many Mamas reach out to me in their first & second trimester to book in their session.
