Danny + Angie = Jayden

Portraits

24 November 2009

The day prior to Angie, Danny and Jayden’s family portrait session, it rained endlessly. As regular blog readers would know, 90% of my portrait sessions are done outdoor and having good weather is somewhat vital to make my sessions a success. So it was with great fervour that I did the mental sundance the night before (& rallied my Facebook friends to do the same ;p). Lo and behold, we had awesome weather on the day of the session! Ahhhhh, the wonders of collective positive thinking!

Sessions with toddlers are done as quickly as possible so that they don’t get aggravated and end up crying throughout the session. It was the same for Angie, Danny and lil Jayden’s session. We breezed through the session in record time and managed to get all the shots before lil Jayden got tired.

Angie and Danny, it was a pleasure to meet you two as well as Jayden. I had fun during the session and I hope you did too! Have a good trip back in KK and also Australia :)

I wasn’t the only sun-lover during the session ;)

Gibran + Sherena

Weddings

23 November 2009

I shot Gibran and Sherena’s engagement a couple of months ago so it was a reunion of sorts when I headed over to Sherena’s parents home to cover their solemnisation ceremony. Having familiar and welcoming faces around, family members who were absolutely at ease and a loving couple to boot made my job much easier :)

Gibran and Sherena, thank you for having me be part of the celebrations! It was great being part of the festivities and seeing you two celebrate your union with your family and close friends. Hope you two had tons of fun during your honeymoon in the land Down Under. See you next week!

The group pictures weren’t exactly ‘conventional’ ;)

Its a Johor Bahru tradition to throw coins out to the kids after the blessing ceremony (and this case, the adults too ;p)
