My Family - The Portrait

I love those pics!! Many many thanks to Zubye for the ever stunning portrait that she captured.

I'm going to celebrate this upcoming Aidilfitri at my in-laws place so definitely I won't be with my family as they're celebrating raya at Kuala Kangsar. Gosh I'm gonna be sob sob that day huhu. I was like, "Ah, no family photo on that day". I have thought too far I think.

So, I planned something special for my family especially Ma and Pa so that they wouldn’t miss me so much that day. Besides, I could give an extra special gift for their 30^th anniversary. A great photo shoot with Zubye came into my mind. After I’ve engaged her during Zaim’s 1^st birthday bash before, I thought it would be exciting if we do it again but for this time it’s gonna be only us. Cos my sisters all complaining that my face was all around the whole album! Talk about stealing the birthday boy limelight haha.

Then another thought came into my mind. How about putting the photo on the Raya card as well as angpow! My plans got agreeable feedback from my family especially my sisters. But at first Ma and Pa weren’t comfortable with the idea of wearing baju raya cos they thought it would have been nicer if we take casual wear photo. I had quite a rough times just to convince them with this PS. After much persuasion then only the PS came true.

So, I chose Taman Tasik Timur as our location. In fact I went there a week earlier just to make sure that it would be an ideal place to have our family PS. I was satisfied with the place and funny that I bumped into Zubye whom shooting for another family there too. Except for the mosquitoes flying around and irritated me with their sounds and all. I hoped that none on us gonna get mosquito bites that day!

When the day came, everything went well. We had a great time showing-off our talent in striking any pose. Ma and Pa was a bit shy shy at first but naturally became camera friendly. All my sisters were gediks but turned quite sweet when we had our father-daughter and mother-daughter sessions especially the salam-salam part. Zaim was the star that day. He was adorable in maroon baju melayu which I bought a week earlier. Talk about how much I spent for the whole PS – priceless!

So here they are, enjoy the shots!
