// M&L {quirky adventures}

Final few shots of my photoshoot with Lina and Mike. These ones were taken in the same park where we discovered a lovely log and little path from which we could take some great depth of field photos. 

Lina and Mike were great! Not only were they willing to pose and try out different locations, but they would suggest photo ideas; eg. I think sitting on the log was Lina's idea. So many times I would look down to fiddle with my settings only to look up and find Lina and Mike doing a new pose or would have discovered something fun to do.

The best photo shoots are those which, despite feeling a little bit tired, you leave feeling excited and pumped up for the next one. I honestly couldn't wait to start editing and choosing photos, (but then Christmas, and New Years came, so I did sort of left it aside.)

Vess and I have been working on our crafting skills and I've got some more fashion photography on the way!

Thanks for having a look guys and thanks so much for my dear friends who are honest and lovely enough to let us know they like our stuff! 

Just the other day a friend from high school, who I bumped into after work mentions she liked our fashion photography. Even that little side comment, made my heart soar!

M & L {floral fun}

Just before I left for my holiday, I did a mini photo shoot of my dear friends Mike and Lina. 

They are such a gorgeous couple and I had such a fun morning with them, laughing and prancing around the garden together. This little photoshoot came about, simply because I wanted to practice some of my photography and Lina had seen some of the pics I had done for Nina. I have this tendency to approach some of my good looking friends with boyfriends/girlfriends and ask them "hey, so I think you guys are  really good looking. Um, can I take photos of you? Pretty please?"  

And most of the time they tend to say "Yes?"

So to my new and old friends, don't be surprised if I pose the same question to you on a regular basis, especially if there is beautiful lighting or nice scenery!

Mike and Lina are such a fun couple to be around, always asking me if I felt comfortable or laughing at me when I would clumsily fall over the many plants in the garden. And they were so keen to give 110%, even coming to my house at around 9 to shoot (Any activity before 10am is pretty impressive in my books!) or crouching in some flowers for a photo. 

There will be another set of photos coming soon. Took me a while to get through all of them for editing, but I think I'm finally done with them all! Hopefully you guys enjoy viewing my good looking friends!

Ah, it's been a bit difficult for Vess and I to redo our blog layout, because she always seems to be working when I'm free and I work while she's at home. But I know, enough excuses, we will do it!

Stay happy and healthy and hope you are enjoying the weather, where ever you are!

//FLASHES of FLURO

Hi guys! Val here, back from my mini Asia trip which consisted of Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.

It was such a nice experience and such a great time to journey with so many different people, especially my friends and family who loved on me and pampered me so much.

Just a few stylist posts to get us started up again. Sorry the blog and the buttons are a bit messy, still trying to find the time to sit down and fix it up with Vess (hopefully soon!). The top and the necklace are both bought from Bangkok, Thailand. I think the place I bought them was Platinum fashion mall, which was massive. Never before had I ever seen so many rows and hangers of clothes, shoes, bags and necklaces. Seriously, shoppers paradise. 

The great thing about Bangkok, is that everywhere you go, the styles are different. But I did notice there was a great popularity for collared shirts and denim shirts in both Thailand and Singapore.

Thus being the fashionista that I am (more like opportunity optimiser) I decided to invest into a denim shirt and the fluoro, just in case it really hits off in Melbourne!

One more exciting news story; is that my wonderful friend Emerald helped me buy a new lens! A 50 mm, F1.4 for my CanonD 660. And wow, it's amazing. Usually to get such a great blur effect (sorry, my photography slang is lacking!) I have to stand so far back and zoom like crazy, but with this fixed lens the large aperture makes it so easy to obtain the soft feathery look and such a great shot.

I also love how the lens, being a fixed lens, is so much smaller and lighter to carry! 

Keep looking at B.P.S and I'll be posting and updated you with interesting stories and pictures from my travels. 

For what's the worth in photos, when you can't share the memory with anyone?

Thankyou for letting me share my memories with you!

-keep stylish-
