Mr Sonshine 1-year old photoshoot

M turns 1 on 28 Mar. To commemorate the event, we had a photoshoot done by Wai Peng from Foto U.

We arrived at 1pm and had some difficulty locating the studio. After going round in circles for a few times, some how we landed up in a parking lot in front of the studio. We were greeting by WP at the door. The studio was a simple, cosy set up in Joo Chiat and the minute we step in, the kids were drawn towards all the toys which the studio uses as props during the photoshoot. Well, at least that took care of the warming up part since M is still in the stranger-anxiety phase.

After a quick synch up with WP on the direction of the photoshoot, she started by playing with J so that he gets into the comfort zone. Although J seems relax but when WP started shooting, J tries to hold back his smile. Thus in the early part of the photos, J was pretty stiff. After seeing that M has settled down nicely, she begins taking pix of M but J keeps trying to get in the way!

Although the photoshoot was for 1 hr but we ended up using 3 hours as J was holding back his smile while M was moving all over the place and only wanting certain props. WP was very accommodating to stretch the photoshoot to ensure that we have nice pixs of the kids relaxed and looking natural which they ultimately did.

In these 3 hours, we cajole, instruct, pose, ran, jump, swing, carried but most importantly, we had fun. As well as a lasting memories of my little sonshine on digital film.
