Photoshoot at Picture People (Pic Heavy)

Hey friends, hope you are doing fine! I'm fine, even though I sometimes feel uneasy cause of the heat, with headaches and such. But this beautiful weather has to be made good use of! So today Theresa and me had the appointment with the Picture People Foto Studio where I bought Theresa's birthday present - a professional fotohoot! 

We both met up in Bilk to go to the Studio together, but I first mistook the address and we went to the wrong studio, when we went inside the people told us we we wrong, but they could tell us where the right studio was, so we walked to the other studio and being afraid we wouldn't find it I panically called my brother to google the right address, only to realize it was just two houses further to the place we were already standing, hahaha! 

First I wanna show you the pics of the "making of", then you'll see the professional ones! We were so lucky to have had a lovely fotographer, she was so nice and it was wonderful working with her!! Okay, long speech, short sense, here are the pictures from today! Enjoy!

 Part of the studio

 The fitting room, Theresa had 3 different outfits to shoot!

 Short break! ;)

 The equipment was so professional!

 Theresa posing!

 Mirror picture in the short break!

 Then I was alone again, the lady went shooting XDD

 The front part/waiting area of the studio!

 Second shoot!

 This is a lovely picture, even though it was taken by my cam XD

 Theresa posing, you could really see she loved it! <3

Then the fotographer wanted to make some more pictures from Theresa which were not included in the foto package I bought, to use them for the company's homepage and maybe other opportunities. Theresa just had to sign a paper and got one additional foto as a print for free! The further shooting was made outside, the weather was just too beautiful!

 So now posing outside! I was asked to help as well, yeah!

 At work XD

It was way too much fun and super interesting! Theresa had to decide between over 100 fotos, which I thought were all very good! One foto was inlcluded in the package I bought for her birthday, one foto was for free as a thank you present for the extra-shooting and 5 additional were bought by Theresa as print-out and as digital copy! She was so kind to gave me them as also to upload, so hope you'll enjoy!

 This foto looks like an advertisement for Calvin Klein or Guess jeans!!

 This is also a super lovely foto!

 

 Love this filter!

 I think this is my favourite one!

 Also a super lovely filter in this!

 Theresa has a super nice profile, don't you think!

Cute smiling picture!

So afterwards we wanted to have frozen yoghurt as the store was only a few house away! Then we went to Theresa's place to cook Oyakodon together and to just relax a little bit, my feet were so hurting after wearing those heels the whole day ;__; Have the rest of the pictures!

 Yummy frozen yoghurt! Mine is the left one!

 Japanese Oyakodon! (chicken with onions and eggs on rice)

As a dessert we had sweet watermelon! That is really summer feeling! <3

 The fotos as print out! Aren't they lovely??

After I left Theresa's place I met up with my sis, we actually wanted to go to Cafe Realx but decided to postpone it and went for Bubble Tea instead! We had to wait a bit in line, but it was worth it, Bubble Tea is so yummy! <3<3<3 On our way home we spotted this dove, hahaha!

Can you see it?? XDDD

Waa, it was a super nice day, now I'm having a light dinner and watching Detective Conan on TV, what a nice way to end this day! See you!!

 

Meet-up with Conny

Hey friends, just 10 more days until I start my new job, I'm already very excited! To make good use of the time I still have left I try to meet a lot of friends, I'm sure I can't meet them as often as I want once I start my work life, hahaha. 

So on Friday I had the chance to meet-up with fellow blogger friend Conny from Eternal Rock'n Roll whom business brought her to Düsseldorf for two days! I've followed her blog for already two years I think and of course I wouldn't miss this awesome opportunity to meet her! We met at Cafe Relax, where she and her friend Noriko were waiting for me, we spent hours just chatting, buying japanese food/stuff in the stores, had a super yummy dinner at Kagaya and went to Cafe Relax again. Time really passed fast, but it was a lovely day! Have some fotos!

 Conny's Macarons from Cafe Relax! I must say those are really the best Macarons ever, she was so kind to let my try bits of them :)

 Noriko's Macarons, she was also so kind to let my try and her German was awesome! She has been living and working in Germany for over 6 years, and is always travelling between Germany and Japan, omg, my dream life XDD

 Then we took Purikura of course!!

 The yellow one is my fav!

 Noriko and Conny at Kagaya! To protect Noriko's privacy I had to censor the foto. Both ladies were super stylish!

One of the best Toriteri Cesar Salad I ever had! The food at Kagaya is a pit pricey, but def worth it!

 Noriko and Conny shared a lot of food, also this Takoyaki ;)

 And Yaki-Udon! And many more, but I didn't take fotos of Fried Bamboo Stick, Kara-Age and Agedashi-dofu!

 Finally Conny and me! She was so beautiful and super stylish and even with me wearing heels and hat I was nowhere near being tall XDD

 No flash picture looks way better :)

 I couldn't decide which foto to take so I uploaded them all XD

 After dinner we returned to Cafe Relax, where I had a super yummy Matcha Tiramisu ;) Omg, it was like heaven!

 Our group picture XD

 Here was my look of the day, I tried to make myself look taller by wearing a hat and a long shirt to a short pullover and of course heels, mine were 8 cm only, but my feet hurt like hell at the end of the day, haha.

My inspiration (taken from SCawaii Mag 5/12)! Unfortunately I had to improve the outfit it was windy and there was rain in the forecast so I couldn't wear a skirt :)

Thanks again to Conny and Noriko, it was a lovely day with you two, hope we can do this once again when Conny will come to Düsseldorf again! 

I played Foto Assistant at a Fotoshooting

Hey friends, thank you so much for all your kind comments on my last post, the fotos for my next scrapping post are on my sis camera and she took it with her, so I have to postpone that until next week. But for the time being I have some more intereting fotos to show you!

As the title suggests I was part of a fotoshooting where Theresa was the model and our friend Arai-kun was the photographer. He made fotos for the homepage of the car trading company named "Kakeru" of his friend. I was lucky to be part of it as a translator of Japanese-German and as a foto/model assistant. It was my first time helping out with a professional fotoshooting and I must say I feel more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it as I'm not that photogenic myself XD

We met at central station to get to the company/shooting place together, later after everything was finished we were invited for lunch by the Manager Tsuruki-san and Arai-kun as thanks for the help. That was so nice, even though I did so little, thank you guys!

But now you wanna see the fotos right? The first ones are taken by me with my amateurish digicam, then I'll show you some of the Master's work! :)

 Theresa was supposed to be a customer buying a car :) We liked this car very much, it was a black Cabrio XD

 Lol XDD We had such nice weather that I could see my reflection very good!

 Theresa and Arai-kun at work ;)

 A little break ;) I think it took 3 hours until the shooting was finished! There must have been hundreds of fotos, we went through them and the result was amazing!

 Cold tea drinks which we were invited to at Cafe Relax!

 The group ;) Thank you everyone it was such a nice day and experience!

Now to Arai-kun's fotos, some of them were taken only for fun, so I decided to show you. Thanks to our fotographer to let me use the pictures for the blog!

 Doesn't she look cool?? Like a vip getting out of a sports car :)

 I just realize there is a towel in the background, hahaha! But still a beautiful picture!

 Just for fun XD Oh, how weird I sit...

 Again just for fun XD

 In Polaroid Style, somehow I didn't realize this foto was taken, I look so surprised :)

 This is my fav pic!

Have something to laugh at, lol XDDD

I really do hope you enjoyed the fotos XD Hope to have the opportunity to help out again, it was much fun!
