Family photo shoot on 30 Nov 10

Decided to go ahead with a studio shoot of my pregnant state since I probably won't be getting pregnant again. Also wanted to capture the current moments of Ray at this cute toddler stage. With the recommendation of Jess, we went to the Studio Loft at Chinatown. The prices are really reasonable, and the photos turned out quite good, however, the photographer is not really patient with children, cannot imagine she is actually the mother of 2 boys. :S

Photo shoot with a toddler in tow is really not easy. Luckily I brought my Mum there. It is so difficult to get a 18mth old to sit still, let alone get him to smile at the camera. He was like running around and exploring all the props. The photographer got him to sit on this stool for his first shot, and because he cannot sit still, he attempted to climb down and he fell from that stool. What a way to start the shoot, so for his first few shots, you can actually spot redness on his head. JQ had to throw him into the air and while he is still smiling away, quickly hold him to pose, so you can imagine how physically tiring it can be for the Dad after a shoot. I had to sing and coo to get his attention on the camera as well.

The whole shoot took about 2 hours, and we were all bushed after that. But looking at the photos, I think it's really worth it. Will aim for another photo shoot when Mei Mei is 18 mths old. :)
