From the studio – 2 years old.

It used to be a lot easier to get her to cooperate when Amanda was much younger.
Make a funny face or sound, and she’ll laugh.
Baby getting impatient? Lifting her up in the air, and make a few turns, she will be back to being happy and cooperative.

This time, we had to take her pictures over 3 sessions.
And I had to pay extras for them to go outdoor and to our estate, where I think Amanda would be comfortable and cooperate.
The photographer was rather impatient, and when Amanda wouldn’t sit still or coorperate, he would give up trying and ask us to return another day.
Impatient is what I wil tell people, when they ask me what I thought about their services.
They are just kids. The last studio I went to, they rock their little stars to sleep, in between shots.

Anyway, Here’s my favourite set, with Amanda looking girly and sweet.

This is her geniune “having fun” picture, only because she was chasing after Mummy.

Another set taken outdoor.
She have yet to warm up to the staff from the studio and was looking rather emo.

Looking a little like her maternal Grandma and paternal Grandpa here.

Amanda dressed as a royalty and princessy in this set.

Starting to lose patience…

She was in fact more interested in removing the score off the piano and .
almost dismantle the piano when asked to lean on the piano.

I am quite pleased with the outcome of most of the photos.
And wished they had done better on the family portrait. The colours were very washed.
Even when they supposedly corrected the colors in the photos.

The Dongs.

And should have insisted having them do something to Amanda’s bed hair.
The lady seemed to be in a hurry to knock off and seemed relieved when I decided to return another day.

I hope Amanda learns to look into the camera and smile, by the time she turns 3.
I deleted far too many pictures of her looking lost like these.

Which she was in fact, looking at the lady who was trying to get her attention. Oh well, she suceeded.
