Quick Updates

News

G’day everyone :D

Just a quick update that last night my Twitter account was hacked into and data of all those who have subscribed to my Twits has been ‘hijacked’ and spammed endlessly (with offerings of online *cough*cough* services. Eeeks!). You would need to click onto the spammer’s Twitter account and block it to prevent the spam from appearing on your Twitter page.

I’ve managed to get back my Twitter account at www.twitter.com/annarina. So feel free to follow my constant short updates there instead. And to friends who have been joking that I have a part-time job offering *cough*cough* services -________-” it wasn’t meeee! 

On another note, I’ve just updated my calendar of booked dates for the second half of 2009. It’s slowly but surely filling up so I would like to say a hearty thank you to the couples and families who have booked me for your respective portrait sessions and wedding day! Yay! I’m really looking forward to hanging out with you on that day itself and feel free to email or call me if you have any questions before our shoot :)

And just cause I don’t like having blogposts without any pictures, here’s a straight out of camera, unedited shot of a bee-yoo-ti-fool sunset on the first evening of my trip back to Kota Kinabalu recently. I like to think of it as a ‘welcome home’ sunset. wOOt! Lucky me!

Have an awesome day ahead! x

Omar & Juliana – Portraits

Portraits

I met Oli and Nina a couple of years ago. Back in the days when I used to climb regularly, I would see them at the indoor climbing gym and it was evident that climbing was a shared love for the both of them.

So it was no surprise to me to hear that Oli had proposed to Nina on a trip last year to the climbing mecca, Krabi. It was on a multi-pitch route at Thaiwand wall that Oli surprised Nina with a ring. Of course, Oli was worried about dropping the ring but thankfully, he managed to keep the rock safe from the rocks.

Geddit, geddit? Rock on rock? :p

After six months of preparation, Oli and Nina will be married with a solemnisation ceremony at her parents home tomorrow. And yours truly will have the pleasure of capturing shots from this meaningful day. wOOt :)

As a preview to their wedding pictures which will come in the next couple of weeks, here are some of my favourite shots of Oli and Nina done during a portrait session a couple of weeks ago at Cyberview Lodge.






They were laughing so much throughout the whole session that I was tempted to call this whole set
“The Laughing Couple” ;)



Yowza! Hot couple alert!

But they can get pretty silly as well ;)

Oli & Nina, thanks again for the honour :) You two were an absolute blast to shoot and I so can’t wait for tomorrow’s ceremony! See you soon!

    Now THAT’s one wedding proposal that you won’t get to see anywhere else but here at your website, Anna. I’ve seen underwater ones, but this one..woohoo!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot, especially that look on her face. She must have been very surprised!

    p.s. Good luck with tomorrow’s nikah shoot. I’m looking forward to that. :)

Introducing, My New Boyfriend

Personal

You know how it is when you have a crush on someone?

You think about them day and night, you hang on to every word they say, when you see them, you can’t seem to tear your eyes away from them.
Alas, when you have a crush on someone you never do a thing. Nada.

Perhaps its a fear of rejection, or just lack of self-confidence. Whatever it is, I’ve seen too many people go through crushes and not do anything about it.

So after more than a year of pining for you (yes, I’ve been thinking about you more than a year!), I said to myself, “Dammit Anna, it’s now or never!”

And so I did it.

I made my intentions known about how manly I thought you were, how much more exciting you would make my life be and just how much fun we would have together!

And ever since having you by my side two weeks ago, I’ve been smiling like a giddy teenager.

Freimut, I can’t wait to get to know your full frame sweetness better *bats eyelashes coyly* and here’s to many, many awesome wedding and portrait sessions together :D

Oh and if you’re thinking I’ve dumped my other boyfriends – Paco (400D) and Onni (40D), no way jose!! We’re one big happy family and we’re gonna rock your world with many more yummy-licious shots!

wOOt!
