They had a holiday coming up in Thailand, I was working in Koh Samui at the time, so the stars aligned and we met in Chewang for an early morning stroll along what is, I have to admit, a pretty tired looking main drag. But we were on the hunt for images that were a little bit different, so backing off the beach and into the rundown parts of town actually worked really well for us.

We had big plans for the afternoon session, which were completely derailed by an epic car ride getting lost in the mountains (roads had been washed out by severe flooding the week before), and then a hike up a waterfall that severely tested my ability to breathe. Both Kelsey and Travis are, shall we say, just a tad fitter than me. I had to stop and catch my breath a few times as they bounded up the sheer slopes.

So, we decided to make up for the lost afternoon by having another late afternoon shoot at a great secluded beach area on the north side of the island the next day. And it couldn’t have worked out better. Plus, we got to hang out for an extra day, which was pretty awesome. Hopefully they’re moving to Phuket this fall, and it would be great to be able to see them from time to time. Maybe Travis can help me with my backhand.

As always, it was a pleasure working at my favorite venue in Khao Lak – The Sarojin.

Kim and her siblings had taken a break from touring with their rock band “Krill” to spend some time in paradise! A beach side welcome dinner started the celebrations before the big day itself which went on long into the night, and a recovery BBQ at The Presidential Suite ended an incredible weekend at The 6 Senses Hideaway, Ninh Van Bay, Nha Trang.

Big thanks to Aaron and Ehrin for helping out over the weekend and confusing everyone with our names!

The heat was punishing and little Regina and Sebastien did ever so well just to stay standing! But as the sun fell a candle lit dinner was served in the Old French House and was a just reward for a hard days work from everyone! Thank you to everyone at The Bai Tram Resort.
