Dedicated to the mum.

She is the featured person in the next issue of her company magazine. and yes. i was pleasantly surprised by that. I actually have such an important character stashed at home. So, the photoshoot started at 10am and dragged all the way till night. draining and wearying. nothing glamourous and apparent like i thought it to be. Of course. makeup artists are the most important party of this whole journey. makeup itself took close to an hour. I was trying to catch some tips on doing makeup since i have yet to grasp the art of makeup. but it turns out to be absolutely inapplicable. Your face must start digging her own grave if you apply that amount of makeup everyday. Now, the hair. According to her, my mum's hair is very ah-lianish. Of cuz due to its bright copper base with almost shiny yellow highlights. She had to reduce it 3 tones before she can be qualifiied for the photoshoot. I was just amused by the term ah-lian hair. Cuz i am very sure dear mum doesnt know the meaning of ah-lian. haha.
So, not only her nice daughter was there to provide her with emotional support and valuable advises, her husband was very cooperative the entire day too :) Lucky lady. So, we stepped into the room of wonders.
The photogragher of the day. He will be shooting my mum. and i will be shooting him :)Ok, let me explain this sudden raise of arms. Mr photographer was complaining that my mum looks too nervous to give a natural smile.
Photographer: Now try to relax! and smile happily! hehehehehe!
Dad: hahahaha....
Photographer: ok, now hubby try to do something funny like dancing to make to laugh! C'mon! 'dance dance!
Dad: Oh. ok! ( moves his hands up and down, thinking that it is dancing) hahaha! laugh laugh!
Photographer: oh good! she's getting more natural. don't be afraid of the camera! Now, daughter try to dance also to make mummy laugh!
Hel: Oh my contact lens is falling out, i need to use the washroom. ( limps out of room :P)
This is My favourite pic, captured by my amateur camera! :)Just to attain one nice or rather satisfied picture requires more than 100 frames. argh. Even i, the looker, was drained. and to think my mum had to hold the same pose for god knows how long. When the body language is correct, the eyes are not there. When the eyes are there, the smile is not there. When the smile is there, the angle is wrong. ARGHHH. photographers are so very very perfectionist. At around 4pm, we headed back home to take family shots and her cover picture. So, the kind and nice daughter prepared these props just as requested by the photographer. It was funny how people stopped to stare at the whole crime scene. Because they literally shifted the entire studio to my pool with all the professional equipments on guard. Poor mum had to give a natural smile which depicts relaxation and enjoyment under those unwelcomed scrutiny. hahaha. THE HAPPY FAMILY. I really forgot how many times i swinged and kicked my legs and laughed like a mad woman to finally hear 'ok, we got it!' from the photographer.

I know she'll look amazing in her coming soon magazine :)
