gambaq raya kami

official family photo on the first day of the Eid 2012.

FINALLY.... we have proper family raya photo this year... *lega semacam* yeah, i felt relieved to have this picture to commemorate our first raya as parents to the lil' one. hehehe... 

i really wanted to have a photo session. a quick one since Maryam is the type of person who is not at ease with strangers. so i really malas to go through the drama with her crying and all. so it was very important for me to choose a professional photog to do this. cewahh...hahaha...but ok la, we had this session done within 30 minutes lebeh kurang.

We had our family foto taken at the Star East Wedding Gallery. i didn't know that the wedding gallery nearby our place had  a promo for raya. i found out about it through a very good friend amy. she and her whole family also had a session there earlier on the same day ( raya pertama). and she posted on her fb that she was having family photo taken there. so i msg her asking about the place and price and the next thing i knew we were there already. that evening of raya sebelum kami tukaq baju.hahahah...

i had my make up done there too and it cost me rm60 only for a simple do. best jugak...and i went to beraya later with that make up afterwards. hehee...tahan pulak tu sampai ke malam...produk apa la amoi tu pakai...

anyway, look at my Maryam..she was all chearful looking kan? and look at the mom and dad lak...kejung! hahahah... actually it was quite a challenge to get this shot ok. they had to
make a lot of noise and put a some toys to attract her..bepeluh okay i menunggu bila laaa nak ok nih...hahhah..yang bapak Maryam asyik2 pejam mata...aduh...letih!

throughout the process Maryam was not in her best mood. she was hungry and grumpy...sian kat dia...

she refused to look at the camera

i think i am quite happy with the outcome because i was so desperate nak ada gambaq cos we didn't have any foto di pagi hari raya tu...sebab was busy with a lot of things. biasa la hari raya kan...plus, i really want to make this as a must event every raya starting now. every raya must go and take picture somewhere... 

who know, this raya bertiga, next raya berempat? hahaha....

Dalam semua gambaq, i guess this one i look like i just had botox...serious...pelik gila muka i dalam ni... overedited rasanya ni...

all the pictures will be hung at our crib later...i actually had a few pictures framed by them as well.. nice jugak.

photographer - CHECKED!

if i had some extra budget in hand, i would want to have DANIEAL ZAIN to capture all moments during my wedding day..but knowing that i could not fork out more than what is within my budget i resolve to NASIR ZIN...eheheh...okay, please don't ever get me the wrong way...i'm not saying Nasir Zin is not the best or the second best..he is one of the earliest photographer that we met during our photoghrapher huntings...and seing his actual works is the only reason we have decided to book him...because we have met many stupid photographers during our surveys who are doing the job for the money only by not taking into account the art behind it.

but, maybe i was stubborn at first, i said to fiance that i wanted to survey more but all my hard works never really paid off..semuanya i tak berkenan. also i don't want to spend too much by hiring photographers that are not based in the north part...flight tickets & accomodations bukan free kan... =) plus i always come back to Nasir Zin punya work everytime i want to compare other photographers' works in penang...so finally, last Friday we reached to our final decision to not turning back anymore. so abg Nasir & the gang i really look forward to your great art work... =)

this is actually the first picture he showed us when we met him & the gang at the studio in Kulim, Kedah...time tu, they just finished this particular shooting and i was amazed by the foto...kalau nak macam ni dia kata kena shoot awal2 pagi to get the effect agaknya...cool huh!

kalau i nak pose macamni...mesti i bantai gelak ( malu~)

camni okay kot...selalu dah berlatih...ngeeee

i think many of us hire our vendors based on the impressions they made during our meetings with them kan?? for me, personally i like the guys cos they are very funny bunch of people and they are willing to tolerate with our budget, kira dah ok la..but, apa2 pun bab wedding photo is now done...harap2 semuanya berjalan lancar nanti...* keep my fonggers crossed*
