First photoshoot

Bought the girls for photoshoot on 25th April at Telok Blangah Way. It's a home-base studio and photographer is a stay at home mummy who possess the professional skills of taking professional photographs. I choose her mainly because it is CHEAP! And after viewing her portfolio of photos she taken for many other babies/toddlers, I would say it's really value for money lah...

We were slightly late as we could not find the unit. It is a very old type of block with long corridors. The photoshoot took place in a HDB flat where one of the room was made to be the studio room. Backdrop, flash lightings, props etc...everything is in that room. Chloe started crying when we enter the so call studio. She clinged onto me tightly and refused to get down to the floor. On the other hand, Elsie was enjoying herself playing with the toys she had not seen or played before.

We had a hard time pacifying Chloe before she was willing to get down and play with her sister while the photographer was snapping away. Having a photoshoot with 2 young toddlers were really not easy! We had to coax them to smile to the camera, make all the funny action and sound just to make them look up, pacify them if they got frighten and refuse to cooperate anymore etc etc!All the adults just looked like a clown that day!

The PS took about 2 hours to finish, including the time of changing into 3 sets of clothes and changing of backdrop and props. Elsie got cranky towards the end of the shoot and had her head knock onto the floor 2 times because she struggled too hard. Luckily the shoot was coming to an end or we would have miss alot of smiley expression of her.

Photos were display onto a private web gallery for selection 2 days later. We had to select 100 photos out of the 300+ taken. It was so hard to select and we took 2 days before replying her the selected images. Within 4 days, I received the CD of the 100 selected photos with touch-up.

I am not going to post all the 100 photos here. Nor am I going to upload the photos to a web gallery and attach the link here. If you want to see ALL the 100 photos taken, it will be display on their birthday BASH! :)

So for those who are invited and will be coming, 你有眼福了!

Here are some sneak previews though on some of my favourites:
