Phew!
It’s done! Woke up this morning, jumped into the shower, put on make-up, went to my hairstylist (he’s awesome) and had a relaxing hour while he fixed my hair. He shortened it a little and blow dried it flat and then he used a flat iron and some products to catch those ever present stray hairs…
After that I went directly to the café where my photographer, Becs Viveash, was waiting. We chatted for a while and then we started. Wow, she is amazing and I am so happy she flew in from Malaysia and was able to do this photo shoot. Also she is super nice! I felt like we’re old friends!
In the first café I wore black, which suited the posh atmosphere. After that we went to another place, more rustic, and when we got there I changed into a casual white shirt in the car. Last we did a couple of pix with an authentic Jakarta vibe. 🙂 For that I changed again, into a gray top.
Gotta have a typical orange bajaj in a Jakarta photograph!
Look how Becs is literally standing with her head in the flowers to get the good angle. 🙂
Hope we got a good author headshot today! If I look weird in every photo I’m not going to show you… Not kidding! But that would be on account of me, since I know Becs’s pictures are amazing.
If you want to take a look at Becs’s fantastic photos, you can visit her website: Viveash Photography. If you do visit her, you’ll know why I am super happy and excited that she squeezed me into her tight schedule.
Now I’m going to relax for the rest of the day, hm, wait, I have a couple of more edits in my book to finalize…
Cheers!

Okay, WHY DIDN’T YOU INVITE ME? =) I don’t like getting my picture taken, but this actually sounds like a fun event rather than a chore! Hope you get lots of great ones to choose from (and judging by how beautiful you look in the other ones, I’m sure you will).
One step closer! Oh, and do you have your U.S. schedule set yet? Your San Diego fan base want to know. 😉
You should have been here! And it was totally thanks to Becs that it was more fun than a chore, meeting her was like hanging out with a friend. And still she was super professional!
Nope, we don’t have the detailed plan yet for September-October, my publicist has some thoughts about it, more to come…
We would love to come to San Diego! Wohoo, would be such great fun!
Again with the editing!! Your S.D. fan base *wants* to know. I blame that one on an early morning. But I did get the first draft of a short children’s story written, so yay!
Yay! Such a great feeling to finish a first draft. I always feel that this is the most difficult part; to fill the blank page… Good job!!
Yes! And yes, the terror of the blank page… Though I have to say, the thought of editing a full page is pretty terrifying at times, too!
“The terror of the blank page…” love that! 🙂
Come on over if you can!
Thanks, Angelica! Hope we meet in person one day! (not too far into the future) <3
Fotomodell för en dag! Är det någonting för framtiden tro?
Måste ha varit superkul, spännande o intressant o även tröttande. Lärorikt att jobba professionellt.
Häftigt med fordonet på bilderna!
Kram
Det var så kul!
Och imorse skickade Becs en av bilderna till mig, som hon lade upp på facebook (finns nu även på min facebook author page). Jag blev så där pirrigt barnsligt glad! Becs är ett geni! Bilden tog hon genom ett fönster och lyckades få helt fantastiska speglingar…
Really sounds like a lot of fun.
Generally, I don’t like to take photos of me, but I think there is something different about doing it with a pro. Well, my sis isn’t a pro, but she’s very knowledgable about photos and I enjoyed taking my pictures with her a lot.
I don’t know. Maybe a good photographer is the one who can really make you feel comfordable so that your true self comes out.
And you know I want to see your photos, right? 😉
This morning Becs sent me one of the pix, and I’m sooo happy with it! She took this particular pic from the other side of a window so it has amazing mirror effects going on. I feel like she really got me, style, mood, ambiance, I couldn’t be happier with it! It’s on Facebook if you want to check it out. 🙂
Just nu känner jag ett “behov” att gå med i Face book
Ja men det tycker jag, då kan vi träffas där också 🙂
