Elevyn and Tongue in Chic recently had an online contest for TiC readers and one of the prizes was a portrait session with yours truly. Ok that sounded abit self-congratulatory, but I don’t know how else to phrase it :p There were two winners from the contest and just last week, we had the portrait session for one of the winners, Hsu Jen. As for the other winner Eudora, we’ll be having that session next week when I head over to Kota Kinabalu. wOOt!
Anyway, back to last weeks portrait session. Hsu Jen decided to bring along her boyfriend David for the session and funnily enough, I actually met David just two weeks ago during a photographers mini-gathering! Is KL small or what? From the second I picked Hsu Jen and David up from the Curve, I knew the shoot was gonna be awesome. They were cracking jokes and just laughing throughout the session and I LOVE it whenever this happens during my sessions. It doesn’t matter if you’re laughing WITH me or if you’re laughing AT me, as long as you’re having fun, hey I’m having fun!
Hsu Jen and David were absolutely cool with me dragging them to some random and not-so random spots and I appreciate the trust. I could’ve been some drug addict and sold you two off to a brothel to fund my drug addiction, but you two just came into my car and off we went. FTW! Jen, I LOVE the fact that you wore bright colored tops for the session (yes, it does make a difference!) and you made me feel like I’ve known you forever! And David, you are an absolutely hilarious guy. Thanks for letting me bully you two around. Heheheeh….
Ok ok, I better stop raving about these two kiddos and move on to my favourite shots from the session ;)



David and Jen does Zoolander :p







Here’s a ‘behind the scenes’ capture by David, taken from Hsu Jen’s blog ;) Danke schon!





Another lovely couple~!! =)
