family photo shoot

唔知點解每次有‘節目’都攰到爆,尢其係要同妹妮一齊參與嗰d。可能真係老喇無咁好精力喇。話說因為前日收到攝影師提示,尋日就臨急抱佛腳去搵道具,希望D相可以靚D嘛!首選想要係1字形氣球,其次係特色做型蛋糕。於是幾經辛苦,搵咗好多間鋪先搵到可以即日攞貨嘅1字氣球!至於特色做型蛋糕就無一間可以趕起,不過算啦呢排食咗咁多蛋糕,有氣球應該OK喇。

首先影家庭相,家中D男人對被影都不感興趣,妹妮開頭就未習慣成日匾咀。後來影完家庭相,公公同舅父就閃咗,剩返Emily姨姨同姨丈一齊影。隨咗大家庭
相,姨姨同姨丈一家family相,到我哋呢家都主要影妹妮...其實原先係想影多D我
哋3個架,因為平日都係我揸機多,好小3人合照,但到影嘅時候我哋就focus咗去妹妮度,所以佢換咗好多套衫,而媽Me同爸B都係換咗兩次衫咋。不過都有同爸B兩個人嘅相。隨咗有小小憒憾係唔記得影用家居背影,唔記得咗另外兩個寶貝大,小肥,同因妹妮攰到慣底瞓咗影唔到尿片相外,總括黎講都好嘅,Benna
好有心機同耐性,足足影咗5個幾鐘!希望D相影得靚啦!!相就要幾個星期先有得睇,而家睇住D‘behind the screen’先

男士們等埋位時神情呆淛,公公更加去咗搵周公,得舅父德有D反應。

果然無買錯道具,D氣球好靚呀!妹妮仲好鐘意潻,一早起身見到已經伸出隻手要攞

呢張好得意,妹妮後面係媽Me同爸B影煙UN相

妹妮頂唔住攰到慣低瞓著咗!

Emily 姨姨嘅花球,係hello kitty黎架!

既然買咗氣球就唔好嘥,趁未漏氣影返夠本,妹妮抱住佢嘅 number ONE

excited for sunday

媽咪呢幾晚都有節目呀,同D同事及朋友食飯囉,部份係因為補祝生日咁啦。星期日又約咗攝影師黎影相,因為Emily 姨姨MBA畢業想影Dportrait,但如果影普通單人portrait 去上次妹妮影passport相嗰D影樓都得啦。所以我哋決定約Benna黎影嘞,有朋友Wendy影過都唔錯,我呢D‘創新型’嘅人就係勇於嘗試(嘻嘻借D意讚吓自己)就試吓啦。

Emily姨姨forward咗攝影師的著衫tips...幾複雜喎,等我仲諗住橫掂喺自己屋企影,到時先慢慢揀衫著架嘛。

-------------------------------------
CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS - FAMILY PORTRAITS
-------------------------------------

Casual Family Portraits - WHITE BACKDROP:

- smart casual outfits that speaks each person's personality -
colours that coordinates with each other (eg: all autumn colour, all
summer colour, all pastels, or modern colour schemes.. such as fushia +
green + brown, or blue + brown, etc etc..)
- could be knits, one piece dress, jeans etc
- some suggested modern colours are:
light brown + pink + green
pink + green + yellow
yellow & light blue
red + blue
yellow + white + grey
blue + silvery grey
|* HINT: colour has to be bold and solid to create the best outcome.



Formal Family Portraits - BEIGE BACKDROP:

- for this part, you may prepare a set of clothes for all family members that coordinates well together
- This beige tone backdrop we have looks really well when the father wears a dark colour shirt / black suit w tie, and mother and children wears darker tone formal wardrobes / shirts (eg: black,navy, brown etc)
with a hint of colour as accessories (eg: tie, scarfs etc)
- it would also look good when whole family wears white / beige too
- matching shoe is required



Casual Family Portraits (other colourful backdrops / Outdoors)

- jeans + plain basic tees (eg: white polos, tees, plain casual shirts etc)
- khakis + plain white / black top
- red / black winter christmas colour tops if you would like to take a
family photo to send out during christmas times.


-------------------------------------
CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS - BABY GIRL
--------------------------------------


As colour is very key to a photoshoot... thus, I'd suggest to prepare very
different colour clothing sets / styles (around 3-5 sets).

- plain white / solid coloured onesies
- skirts and one piece sundress
- bold solid coloured tees / tanks with ribbons + jean skirts
- dungarees
- tutus
- denim
- hats
- tops / jacket with hood
- colourful baby leggings (leg warmers)
- diaper covers
- swimwear
- knitted vest / sweather / jacket
- boots / shoes
- raincoat / umbrella + boots
- tees with funny wordings on it
- cute coloured bibs / costume
- plain white diaper (with no cartoon prints)
- any clothes that have distinguishable style and mood (eg:
sporty, modern, simple, formal etc
- props: green apple, ice-cream, donuts, lollipop, stuffed toys, balloons


-----------------------
PREPARATION:
-----------------------

- please iron all clothes that maybe wrinkle

- ladies should put on light day makeup with slightly more solid
lipstick colour and a little bit thicker foundation + loose powder (this
is a MUST as the studio lights would make skin looks shiny!!)

- have some lip gloss to ensure the lips are not chapped

- if your master bedroom's bed is good for phototaking, it would be
nice to have a white / light coloured bed sheet ready and we would take
some family photos there too using daylight.

- if you have chairs, stools, backless chair or coffee tables that we could use
during the shoot, that would be great.


CLOTHES TO AVOID:

- clothes with big eye-catching logo, shinny prints, big stripes, cartoon characters as they would date the photos and draws too much attention, unless the
text is funny and creates a theme
- clothes with excessive ruffles / laces / dangling materials (they tend to go to unexpected places in the photo and are hard to retouch)

係咪好長盡呀?睇完就知弊喇,得返一兩日我點準備得切呀?而家要brainstorm定D衫,然後等yayaGigi可以幫我熨定呀。仲要諗埋道具等D相靚D潻,突然間好似好多嘢要做潻!

話時話,今日係屋企最後一個十月之星生日...yayaGigi,當然都有生日蛋糕啦!係今朝一早買架,見呢排halloween,有節日蛋糕又幾得意就買。返到黎先諗起個蛋糕有一個個曲奇墓碑都幾大吉利是噃!不過yaya唔係中國人應該唔會咁迷信呱。

yayaGigi好鍚妹妮,所以許願同切蛋糕都要抱埋妹妮。

今年妹妮大個女可以同yayaGigi切蛋糕喇。

舊年呢個時候妹妮得一個星期大,但都有同yayaGigi影切蛋糕相架。仲係成個紫色芋頭咁。

送貨+戒奶咀+拆禮物

自從上星期學識行,妹妮而家喺屋企已經行得幾好了,仲識做慢遞員將物件由A點或人送到B點(人)! 比你一個‘叻’








星期一開始, yayaGigi就試吓幫妹妮戒奶咀,因為佢已經大個女了...好辛苦架,因為奶咀真係bb嘅magic item黎架. 每當妹妮一扭計,或扭眼瞓,只要比個奶咀佢一嗒就即刻靜晒,仲好快可以覺豬潻! 真係有安撫功能架, 星期日yayagigi放假時更不可少! 星期一朝妹妮又扭眼瞓,已經不斷捽眼,但因為要無奶咀,所以扭咗好耐計,仲喊晒潻. 一時又指吓自己個口,然後指去櫃面(因為平時奶咀擺喺櫃面),一時又發嬲咬人. 如果係我見佢個可憐樣都可能會心軟比返個奶咀佢. 好彩yaya定力夠,話戒就戒,仲可以冧到佢瞓. 只需一日,妹妮就成功戒掉奶咀喇!!之後夜晚同第日都可以唔駛用奶咀瞓著! yeah!!! 比多個叻你! 不過我有d擔心星期日無奶咀你係咪一樣咁乖可以瞓到呢?

今日收到Crystal姨姨從美國寄來嘅禮物呀,就等妹妮拆禮物啦!

好心急呀,唔係咩黎呢?




咦,有生日咭喎...


嘩!好嘢,係媽me至愛juicy嘅裙仔套裝呀! 妹妮又有靚衫著,今個星期日可以著黎影相了!



媽Me就有Jo Malone香水...um...smells so good!!我已經儲咗幾隻味 : orange blossom, nutmeg & ginger 同 tuberose, 及 netarine blossom body cream. 今次呢個係Grapefruit味,陣味好清架!正係我諗咗好耐,想買又唔捨得買, 諗住下次會買嘅味黎架,而家唔駛等下次了,好嘢!



thank you CRYSTAL (LEWIS我都係鍾意叫你化名多D) !!

baby Aerin turns 1 year old ~ part II 之驚嚇迪士尼

嘩!好難得妹妮一覺瞓到天光,唔通酒店連B床都好瞓D?今朝6:30準時起身,不過半夜無碌醒,正!起碼爸B媽Me都叫做有覺好瞓。
一早起身已經無比精神,喺B床指手劃腳 洗個白白準備去食早餐,第一次用大浴缸沖涼。初頭唔敢坐低,後來用支沐浴液引佢先肯坐。

好嘢!又繼續長佂,落到大堂已見木蘭,第一時間影返張相先。

再落餐廳食buffet,離遠已見到Mickey,妹妮喺屋企好鐘意探吓貼喺門口嘅米奇,Donald,同Minnie(揮春)架。點知今次近距離接觸一見就嚇親,搞到米奇都唔敢再埋黎。爸B唯有吩咐高飛同米妮要後兜由後面行埋黎,等妹妮見佢唔到影合照啦,搞到連待應們都要幫手逗妹妮笑...我諗見到米奇會大喊嘅細路都唔會有好多個呱,米奇今次真係失威喇。
妹妮太驚,斷續喊咗成個鐘,我哋專登book呢個buffet想影相架嘛,點知佢咁驚,早知慳返啦,我哋輪流‘tum’佢都無咩食過嘢呀 妹妮又驚又要望,喺鏡倒影見到Minnie,又係咁裝,Minnie見妹妮裝,就對住塊鏡扮鬼臉,好搞笑!反而見倒影又唔驚!啤...吹漲!!


早餐後去樂園繼續長佂,首先玩小飛象,因為又上又落,開始時妹妮都小小驚,坐咗一兩個圈先好D。跟住同Pooh影相,唔駛講都知妹妮又被嚇驚啦!都唔妹妮幾時變得咁脆弱呢?
驚嚇過度,好快又瞓覺豬喇。我哋又躲入鋪頭涼冷氣,趁妹妮覺豬,爸B堆滿公仔落架B車等妹妮同D公仔合照。效果唔錯喎!

瞓醒又去玩過!今次玩mild一啲,旋團木馬,妹妮同爸B一齊自己排隊呢。木馬好似無咁驚,仲幾enjoy潻。

再玩多一樣...米奇3D電影,不過一樣嚇驚,唯有中途離場 我諗對妹妮來講,迪士尼唔係disneyland而係scaryland囉,唔駛halloween都驚嚇多過好玩啦。後來買咗第一隻屬於妹妮嘅公仔...Donald duck duck呢。我哋咁耐都無買過公仔架,妹妮玩的都係媽咪之前買落嘅。不過妹妮對公仔興趣不大,都唔騷隻Donald嘅。

熱得濟頂唔住要換衫了,好彩有個baby care center,有水飲又有地方換片片,索性換埋衫,成個人爽晒!行步路都快D。呢件衫係妹妮今年第一份收到嘅生日禮物呀!

爸B猛話頂唔住,攰到想死了,不過撞啱巡遊封路,咪睇多次囉!爸B話呢次迪士尼遊仲攰過返工,好似擔泥托鐵咁攰...比我哋倆母女玩謝喎。老實說我都攰到爆,返到屋企都頂唔住大昏迷,不過我覺得好開心,好好玩呀!

返到屋企收到yayaGigi嘅生日禮物,都係迪士尼產品喎!

最後我哋爭扎咗一日,最終都係ugrade咗year pass,即係話米奇,我哋會再來來來來架,SEE YOU LATER!!!
