Where does the time go? I'm finally following up to “Minh and Nghia Photoshoot Preview” about two weeks later than I expected.

First Photo

After having a coffee and chat to get to know them a bit, we headed toward the always-photogenic Heian Shrine. I wore Nghia's backpack so it wouldn't bother the photos, and we got down to it...

I never really expect anything to come of the first shots, since we're just starting to get comfortable with each other and with the situation, but what came immediately after the shot above pretty much foreshadowed the entire day:

I don't recall what it was that set them off, but it didn't take much. They just seemed so easygoing with each other, laughter seemed to come spontaneously.
