Shireen & Hugo

Portraits

Hello friends! It has been awhile hasn’t it? You must’ve thought I’m aiming to grow gargantuos cobwebs on this blogsite of mine. Well, I’m back. With somewhat of a vengeance ;) Having shot quite a number of weddings and portrait sessions recently, I’m rather spoilt for choice on what to share first! Which is actually a good thing no? Okay okay. Enough bantering from me, its time to meet my new friends Shireen and Hugo!

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Time and again, when I meet couples like Shireen and Hugo, I think to myself “Sh*t Anna, you’re one lucky bugger. You get to shoot people in love”. Cheesy I know, but that’s how I roll.

Shireen and Hugo met through her brother and whilst her first impression of him wasn’t exactly the best ;p they started dating not long after the first meet up. And to celebrate their recent second anniversary of dating, they decided to have a portrait session with me! Lucky, lucky me :D

It was on an absolutely gorgeous Saturday morning that I met up with these two lovebirds at a park in KL and from the beginning of the session, it was an absolute breeze! Even though it was the first time I met them, it was evident that they adore each other to pieces. With nicknames for each other, Shireen’s one is Skippy for she skips when she’s happy ;p and Hugo’s one HP for his initials, they laughed, kissed, cuddled and playfully made fun of each other throughout the session.

And that’s what made their session absolutely fun. They were just comfortable with each other, joking around, unconscious about sharing their love with that weird photographer and just purely themselves. And like I tell all my clients, there’s absolutely nothing to be self-conscious about, just let go and be yourself. That’s when you get the money shots ;p

Shireen and Hugo, thank you for spending that lovely Saturday morning with me. It was an absolute pleasure and do keep in touch!

Much love.

    Thank you so much Anna! I second Shireen…you were amazing and it was so easy for us to feel comfortable and the result couldn’t be better!

    I have to admit this was Shireen’s idea and I was not so much into it at the beginning, but now I am as excited as a kid in a candy store! I can’t wait to do another session, with you obviously!

    Cheers and see you soon!

News

Yes, I must admit.

It HAS been awhile since I last blogged *sheepish* Not that I don’t want to, but the month of June was packed with shoots! Which of course, is an immense blessing :D With the month long shooting fiesta, it is with guilt that I must also admit that the backlog of images to post-process, unreplied emails to clear amongst other daily business work also increased 0.o 

BUT once I clear up everything by end of this week, life will be back in balance :) A balance which will include time to blog about recent sessions! Can’t wait to share some of my fave images then :D

In the meantime, check out Chiq Clicks, a photography blog especially for female photographers, where yours truly is featured in a short Q&A about being a cry baby ;p Thanks for the feature Sze Ning

Love You Daddy :D

Personal

Since its Father’s Day weekend, Daddy here’s a quick note to remind you that we love youuuuuuu :D

It was nice staying back a few days after my clients’ wedding last week to be there for your 71st birthday and I wasn’t joking when I said you are going to be around until the day I get married…which means you’ll be around for quite awhile. So you better take care of yourself, stay healthy, drink loadsa water, keep up your fitness regime at the gym cause I want you to give me away when the day comes :) Now you just need to give me some time to find a man. Heeheehee…

I meant it when I said that what you have done for us, all the hard work that you put in last time is immeasurable and in my lifetime, I would never be able to repay you back. You always say that you wish you could’ve done more for us, but Daddy, what you and Mum have done for us is enough for me. Parents don’t get manuals when they have kids and I reckon parenting is something you learn along the way. You and Mum have done the best you can and I totally appreciate that, and way more.

You gave me the love of reading and funnily enough, the older I am, the more I eat like you. I used to find half boiled eggs, tomato juice and dragonfruits disgusting. But now I love them :D And not forgetting, being active and travelling! I still remember when you used to lift weights and now I’m doing it. Yay! And Daddy, I plan on going to all the places you’ve travelled to and take pictures of the exact same spots where you were standing. I just need a few more years to cover all the countries! Frankly speaking, though I love being like you, I sure am glad I didn’t get those Mickey Mouse ears! Kidding Daddy, juuuuust kidding ;p

I’ll see you again next month, then we’ll go have sashimi and eat ‘ngiu chap’ together k? You have a good weekend with fatty and Adam koko :D Love you!

Oh and before I forget, here’s one of my favourite shots of you and your ‘girlfriend’ ;D

    aahhhh sweet!!! happy father’s day to all daddies out there!!!

  2. H says:

    Reading this brought tears to my eyes. I have to find the balls to tell dady (my dad, that is) what him and momy have done for us. Love you Anna for being completely honest and filling your posts with lots of love! oh, and not just your dad, but you must take care of yourself as well. I plan to have a family session with Y-O-U as our shooter (in a photographic sense, of course)… not now, but once I get enough dough! It’ll be a gift from me to my family! God bless you Anna Rina!

  3. Rozalin says:

    awww soooo touching & sweet lah babe!

  4. Karen says:

    So warm and fuzzy… so wish i can talk to my dad so openly.
    Happy belated birthday to your mighty daddy!

  5. Grace Tan says:

    Really sweet post. Thanks for reminding us to appreciate our dads.

  6. I wonder if you can recognize me. :) I love your style, like seriously. Like a sunshine girl while I’m the dark and twisty girl. Keke. Can’t wait to see the artworks, I really mean it, it’s an ARTWORK. A master one! Hope to hear from you soon. And, you caught the best moments of people. All the photos in this entry tell us that. :)
