emma turns 1 month

Emma had her second photo shoot 2 days before she turned 1 month. Mommy Jo likes the naked Hawaiian girl best!





This was a complimentary shoot that came with the super expensive birth package. Technically, there's 2 FREE 10-inch framed photo (selected from the shots that they take). The first shoot was done on Day-2 at the hospital and the second shoot during the baby's first month (when they deliver the first framed photo).

Baby Emma was sleeping when they arrived but she woke up shortly when they changed her into the clothes they had brought along for the shoot. There were also lots of props - teddy bears, giraffe, hats, colourful rompers... There was little fussing and Emma seems to like the plump girl who cooed "ooo-ahh"s with her.

Mommy Jo and the confinement nanny looked on and thought that Emma looks quite professional! Truth is, she looked pretty helpless as they manipulated her body, arms and legs.


Daddy Elvis and brother Joel were sound asleep in the other room after their day out (and Joel also went to see the doctor). I was quite disappointed that Daddy Elvis couldnt wake up to watch Emma's shoot and/or to help me select the photos. Especially after the experience i had at Joel's 2nd birthday photo shoot, i was afraid i'll make the "wrong selection". (I guess it's difficult for any parent to "delete" the nice-nice photos of their child.) As expected, i was asked to choose the "free" photo immediately. To delete the ones i dont want. To pay for the ones that i want to keep (the files). I have to be decisive in deleting! HAHA! So i made it a pretty quick one. The confinement nanny thought that every picture was nice and i shouldnt have deleted them so quickly. In the end, i'm left with only 5 photos including the "free" photo. When Daddy Elvis finally woke up, i showed him these photos and he thought they were OK (although he didnt get to see the ones i didnt choose). It was then that i realized i shouldnt have paid for the picture of Emma in the stripes romper becoz i have a similar one in my own camera! Oops!

Anyway, all in all, i was glad Emma has a professionally-taken baby photo! She will also get a "free" photo shoot on her birthday till she is 2 years old. ;)
