The Most Amazing Twins

Wow I love children! That explains why I would readily jump at any invitation to work with them. But the feeling of working with these delectable cuties; Issac and Isaiah is just inexplicable.

While they were eating, I requested for the baby cot to be brought into the sitting Room. I laid the bed and once the breastfeeding was over I took their clothes off and boom! the shoot began.

The boys were amazing. They were so fascinated by the camera and what struck me about the twins was how they posed in similar ways at the same time. Well I couldn’t expect less after spending 9months together in mummy’s tummy 😉

Boys and food 🙂 after a few shots they had to top up with food but little did we know it was an invitation to sleep 😦 Funny how, one of the boys slept while the twin cried. Now I wonder how easy is it to sleep beside a crying partner.

After my time out with Isaac and Isaiah I wouldn’t mind having twins too especially identical girls 🙂

I hope you feel the same after viewing their pictures. You reach me on 08025687884 or 08039225221, Email: info@lgoldbelle.com Happy viewing 🙂

When Christmas Visited Early

To think that this is just the 2nd day in December and Lagos is already engulfed in the ambiance of the Christmas festivities; with dazzling lights beaming from street corners and beautiful ornaments altering the Lagos scenery, is mind-blowing. Is this same dingy and uninspiring Lagos? The same Lagos where Christmas was observed in hushed tunes and solemnity?

Wow! Now I think of Heaven, with the streets paved with gold, and boulevards adorned with glittering precious stones; this is just a foretaste.

Are you thinking of going down to the streets of Victoria Island, Lagos? Don’t worry, you can have a thrill without moving an inch. I’ve got the pictures here below:

Wishing you all a brightly dazzling, beautiful and Joy-Filled Christmas Celebration.

How I fell in love with a Lebanese.

Ping! Ping!! Thats my blackberry vibrating. “Biola! We need to see o, let me know when you are home”. this message was from my beautiful friend, Yemisi Sanya, MD/CEO Misorge Kiddies. She had a party planning job for a lebanese client & would like me to meet her for discussion on Photography. Immediately I got home I started dialing Yemisi’s number whilst climbing the stairs, I couldn’t wait to see her. LƠ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴͡L This was my introduction into the world of my wonderful & interestings peeps from Lebanon residing in our obodo Nigeria. 🙂

My first meeting didn’t go well as planned. I had to strain my ears to listen, understand & respond to my would-be Client. Yemisi had to do a lot of interpretation as I struggled to communicate in broken or semi-pidgin english. Our conversation included statements like “E goodt like that”,”E go come tomorrow evening” “what you bring for me” etc. 🙂

It didnt take me long to find out that my Lebanese friends have also been infected with the spirit of bargaining, its just that they are not as experienced as Nigerians, theirs is not in-born. I learnt this lesson after my first encounter now I am smarter. 🙂
With bargaining concluded, I get a percentage of my fee upfront without even asking. You can imagine my excitement LƠ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴͡L, I was super motivated. 🙂

Yipeeee!!! The big day is here! The day scheduled for the event usually begins with severals calls from these hyper active clients of mine, not because am running late for the event but its usually because they are so super excited that the day is finally here & can’t wait to get their groove on.

My job as the photographer for the event starts once I step into the venue (this is usually about an hour before the event is scheduled to start). I am taken on a tour by my client afterwhich they take their time to pose for lovely family photos.

The party is in full swing, with other Lebanese families in attendance. One thing I found amazing is that every single invitee came in with a gift & they were right on time. Well, I guess since they are from Lebanon, “african time” is non-existent in their dictionary. This is quite impressive. 😉

On the day of delivery, I get at least three calls at different times from my Lebanese client, this is because they are excited & can’t wait to see the pictures. On seeing them, they start to dance & sing(in their language) with smiles on their faces. It gives me great joy to see them express utmost satisfaction with statements like “Me I love am” “I will call you for all my parties”. I leave their homes with a big smile on my face not only because they satisfied with the job but because I will be smiling to my bank as well. 😉

I have really learnt a lot working with these wonderful people from Lebanon. They are family oriented, fun loving, caring, friendly/accomodating & also people of integrity. Another Language I will like to learn is Lebanese, this will aid effective communication between us especially now that they have fallen in love with me & my Nikon D5000 camera. And seriously I wouldn’t mind getting married to a Lebanese…LƠ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴͡L Can you picture me as a wife of a Lebanese?
