Our little chungkin,
4 fridays ago, you were delivered in the world.
it’s unbelievable how much joy and love you’ve brought into our hearts & life
and even more amazing, the bond you’ve created within our cozy family.
Daddy is now on whatsapp only because he looks forward to receiving photo updates from mommy every single day.
And mommy, she has suddenly become a lighter sleeper because your coos and stirs matter more than her beauty sleep
The moment you have a wet or dirty diaper actually delights us for the time being (not the changing part though), that we know you are eating & growing well.
You’re utterly cute each time you give that orgasmic smirk of satisfaction after every feed,
and your burp, we actually mute our television and mobile phones to hear that golden sound.
Those tiny hands that seem to always find their ways out of the tight swaddle, we call them your signature move,
and that “ooh” pout you make, always tickles us.
You’re growing so quickly, our dear son.
And while we can’t wait to have future conversations with you,
thought we’d capture these shots of you…
to remind us of how tiny you once were.
the folds on your little body
the 20-sleeping hours you used to have.
We love you so much, Liam.
Hey, these photos are so Anne Geddes-like!! Where did you have them taken? I’m also tempted to do the same.
Thanks for the compliments! It was taken at our home as we didn’t want to bring Liam (being so young) to the studio (which was part of the initial package I signed up for) using natural lighting (they use natural light for all newborns which is great!). Oh yes, you should really have it done. I can send you the contact and along with another frd whose also expressed similar interest, see if you ladies can tap on the same package deal I got. After all, they grow so quickly and once this stage passes us by, all we have are photos to remember how tiny they once were. š
Yes, please. Let me have the contacts. Thanks! So how many photos do you get? I think it’s good service of the photographer to go to your house for the session. I suppose he/she provides most of the props? Liam looked so comfy sleeping on rug!! You know the other day, a colleague told me that for her first-born, the baby was regarded with such preciousness that everything was new and lots of pictures were taken. But when the second came along, the novelty wore off, having only hand-me-downs and much fewer pics.
Btw, you’ve poetic talent.
Sure! I’d send you the contact via email as well. It’s Dphotofolio and I took newborn + maternity photography package hence had a $50 off and some additional photos for maternity. For newborn I had 20 shots to select, and as for props etc. he will handle the rest, including posing your child etc. Basically all you got to do is just sit around, see what’s doing on, do the occasional feeds & diaper change š For me it was quite tricky as Liam decided to be awake after 2 hours of sleep (they usually have the child asleep to do the various poses) and in the end as I had a “maid crisis” (which I’d tell you in detail when I see you for future pldaydates), hence I gave the go-ahead to take while he’s awake even though it was suggested that it might not have a similar effect to if he was asleep. Anyhow, happy I took those shots because that expression in his eyes, basically captured the essence of how he was for the 1st 3 weeks.
Haha thanks for the compliment on the talent. I actually suck at rhyming but came up with this as I was writing. I suppose it was the doing of becoming a mom eh? :p
I actually prefer the picture of him awake. He has this thoughtful look on his face. Do you have any picture of him smiling? How long was the whole photoshoot of Liam?
Btw, when you mentioned ‘maid crisis’ do you mean your MIL had an argument the helper?
Same. I like the awake ones too š Hmm can’t remember if I have one of him smiling. The photoshoot was from 9am – 2pm. I was prep that it would take that long factoring in feeds, naps, diaper change etc. Min. of 3 hours was required too. I actually missed out on some props because Liam was awake for so long that we were running out of time + maid crisis. And ahha no, the crisis wasn’t internal. Will explain when I see u!
