Newborn & Family Photos with 16-day-old Kala

Lisa and Mahesa are proof that opposites really do attract. Mahesa is an adrenaline junkie, and loves skiing, mountain biking and scuba diving with sharks. Lisa prefers safer hobbies, like shopping and spa days.

They are both from Indonesia, but are staying in Oxford while Mahesa completes his MBA. Mahesa loves the cooler weather here and finds Indonesia very hot and humid. Lisa loves the cold, too – for a week or so, anyway. Then she longs for the warmth of her home country.

But there’s one thing this gorgeous couple have very much in common: they are joyful, happy individuals, who have seen that happiness increase exponentially since finding each other and having their first child together. It’s therefore appropriate that they named him Kala, which means ‘sun; one who brings joy’.

Kala is the first grandchild, so the family is especially excited about his arrival. Mahesa’s parents travelled over immediately when labour started, but headed home shortly before Kala’s newborn shoot. There were tears all round at the airport, as Kala’s grandparents had to reluctantly say goodbye.

Back in Oxford, Lisa loves how hands-on Mahesa is. Mahesa admires what a natural mother Lisa is, as though her parenting skills and knowledge have always been in her instincts.

Lisa’s favourite moment so far was seeing him for the first time. Mahesa can’t wait until Kala is two years’ old, so Mahesa can buy him a balance bike for him to ride on.

After that, Mahesa can’t wait to take him out biking, skiing and scuba diving. Let’s hope Kala gets his appetite for adrenaline from his dad!

After receiving the newborn photos, Lisa said:

“Aahhh!! Thanks a lot Sarah… you made our weekend even brighter ?? me, Mahesa, our families and Kala of course love the pictures so much. Its our pleasure to have the photo session with you!! Hope we’ll see you again.”
