If you are looking to purchase a wedding gown, you should visit That Special Occasion, especially when there’s a mid year sale going on now! I can personally vouch for their gowns… the designs are beautiful and the quality of the workmanship is excellent! So do contact them for an appointment before the sale ends!
Purely because I’m stressed and this blog has been silent for too long, I’ve decided to pull out an image I shot during my travels in Turkey. I was so amazed at this man’s moustache that I HAD to photograph him. I wonder how long it took him to grow his moustache?
One of my clients recently asked me, how do I find the time to blog, especially when my days are filled with meeting potential clients, going for shoots, sorting photos, checking through album layouts and responding to enquiries? (and on top of that, move house, move office and actually have a social life?)
My response is simple… I make time for it.
When I think back about it, I am amazed as well. Of course, there are days when I am overwhelmed with the workload. Since I started running my own business 3-4 years ago, I discovered that time is such an important asset. Everyday is a rush to complete the backlog of work that somehow manages to miraculously pile itself on my desk. Before I know it, a day has gone by, a week, a month, a year… where did the time go?
I am still learning the art of prioritizing my time. There are certain things I know I need to do, and those things are high on my priority list. Blogging is one of them. I feel it’s so important to have fresh content on the Stories blog, that no matter how busy I am, I must make time to blog. In my mind, blogging = marketing the Stories brand. How can I neglect something as important as marketing?
So yeah… I make time for it.
Here’s a simple update to what’s been happening the past one week:
Noel & Hui Yi’s pre-wedding shoot in Putrajaya
I love Pullman hotel for pre-wedding photography. The ambience is beautiful!
Kevin & Katherine’s pre-wedding shoot in Nikoi Island, off Bintan, Indonesia
With an amazing beach like this, you can’t help but feel soooo blessed at having a job that brings you places.
For those of you who have been following this blog, you’ll know that my parents made the move to KL in 2009 to live with my sister and I. Since then, we’ve been clearing up old stuff and trying to transport as many nostalgic things as possible to KL. After procrastinating for such a long time, we decided the time has finally come for us to sell the house. Today, we signed the S&P agreement.
As my mom sat in her kitchen (possibly the last time), I felt a little sad to hear her asking for things like her oven to be brought up to KL. She said that the glasses in the cupboard are really good and I should keep it. Those glasses from the 60s with floral patterns and which were only used during Chinese New Year.
Reality is, we can’t move everything with us. That’s life. We accumulate material items in our lifetime, only to die and leave them all behind. What’s left are memories.
My sister discovered some stray albums that we missed in our previous trip back.
My sister’s and brother’s car collection. Should this go on eBay?
My little Lego looking set that I had since I was a baby (according to my sis).
My parents outside our home. My dad is still oblivious as to what is happening.
Next trip would be to pack some larger items into the lorry for us to transport up to KL. Then, it’s the final farewell.
The past 2 days have been a little stressful and tiring for me. Doing 2 wedding shoots back to back is something that I don’t do often, but when I do, my whole body aches like it has been through an entire marathon. Plus the emotional stress of doing my first ever official royalty group photo (which had its set of protocol and challenges); I think I need today to recuperate.
After a long day of shoot, I just want to spend the day doing nothing much but just chill with my hubby. In fact, he’s making me breakfast right now as I type this. :) Aaah… now what would make it even better if I had a pool like this in my backyard…
Happy Sunday everyone! Hope it’s a restful one for you!
