Photo Shoot

Reasons Why You SHOULD GO for Photo Shoot 1 The perfect gift Everyone loves babies - their cute little eyes, noses, ears, hands, and feet just make us all melt. But they grow up so fast! One minute they're the most precious little beings on earth and the next minute they're graduating from the university. So, remember to capture all the important moments in their lives. Put the photos together and make it into an album, it is the perfect present that they will remember for life.
2 The perfect shoot They are not called professional for no reason. With the professional camera and settings in the studio, you are guaranteed to walk away with photos that you will feel proud of. SingaporeMummy brought her daughter for her one year old photo shoot two years ago, and is amazed by how nice the photos turn out to be.
“Everyone loves babies their cute little eyes, noses, ears, hands, and feet just make us all melt.” 3 Value for money Trust us, spending this few hundred dollars on baby photo shoot is far more worth than you spending it on branded bags or restaurant fest. Bags will go out of fashion and obviously whatever goes into your stomach will come out as ......... But a nice photo of your little darling will always bring you proud.
4 Peer pressure Perhaps you will think SingaporeMummy is thinking too much, but kids do compare. “See, my photos are nice. Where are yours?”. “Er.... my mummy didn’t bring me for photo shoot when I was young.” You wouldn’t want this to happen right?

Work around the baby's schedule A well-rested baby is a happy baby. It's hard to capture "happy" moments when babies are cranky and tired. So, do not make any photo shoot appointment around your baby’s nap time. Make sure your baby receives adequate sleep the night before a photo shoot as well as taken a nap prior to the photo shoot if possible. Though most of the photographers are experienced enough to handle cranky babies, you rather they spend the time shooting your baby than pacifying them right?
