Reirei,

I've fwded you abt the Sean Lau photo package.

RE: Sean Lau package

For mummies who didn't get this, just to let you knw, this is what Valerie Hong fwded to me:

"Hi ladies,

got mummies asking if the package can be taken on weekends. Not sure if you are aware, the photoshoot can only be taken on weekdays, noton weekends or public holidays. Hope you ladies are ok with this. "

She also commented this:
" Expiry date will be so long as your baby is 12mths and under on the date of PS itself.

They recommend the best age will be when they can sit by themselves and yet not crawl out of the flower pot."

 

[diorsnow]

val: u signing up?

i m hoping for $188 but seems we dun even have 15 mommies yet... cos i think 15 mommies can neg to $188 instead of 20.

 

[valnsw]

nini,

AMENDED
I think Valerie Hong mentioned that she would ask/negotiaite with Sean Lau to continue to let us have under the package rate if only fewer than 10 mummies i.e. at $208 if cannot meet the min number (I gotta dig out the email) in case some people play out and don't make the deposit to be fair to the other mummies who paid up.

 

[valnsw]

nini,

So hor... as of now I don't knw how many mummies have signed up and paid deposit in all...

 

[ruixuan]

Dphotofolio will be back only in <font color="ff0000">June</font>!!! to b fair to other mummies who sign up earlier as too close to our photo date

Mrs Teng
2 babies for one package...

 

[yumeumi]

Meredith has a fall. She was sleeping and I went toilet, heard her crying for help loudly, when I ran back, she was on the floor.......

Lucky thing was... I put bolster at the edge and she fell on the bolster. Maybe knock her head abit. When I carried her, she stopped crying and can smile. So I think should be ok.

No bump yet.

 

[ruixuan]

sam
i can't comment cos i have not use sean lau.
i only concentrate in term of worth for money (imagining 8-9 clothes changing and 208 pic taken [depend on ur baby's mood too]) and look into what i want and not wat the photostudio want.. e.g. i want dumbo... dphotostudio never say no... haha

just like wedding pic...
my wedding pic are into my theme and request.

 

[yumeumi]

ruixian

let me see see. coz I am not sure which is good? Think both good? style?

I agree with wat u wrote. Wat style we want.

I think the flower pot one is a gd idea. But then will mean to take now?

Can use CDA to pay?

 

[ruixuan]

Sylvia
haha.. use CDA to pay.. i dun think can for Dphotofolio. u can try seanlau...
if u like the flower pot, u can try seanlau... in the first place, i also like the flower pot, but then i can't have my theme...

Sylvia
sign up seanlau now cos i think they are closing the coordination today

 

[yumeumi]

ruixian,

I guess... I mix up. Hahaha!!

Whose photo has the elephant theme? I rem is yours?

I am more interested in those I seen. very confused.

haha!!

 

[ruixuan]

i put a pic of my family pic in the fb...
those who know/ see in real. can see the diff

 

[missysz]

valnsw,
thanks gal for asking my queries. have already transferred $50 to Valerie. Yah, I hope we have more mommies so that we can enjoy the $188 deal.

Now it seems like seah lau vs Dphotofolio! baby model is cat's bernice and ruixuan's SL.

reirei,
the flower pot pic is so nice! the babies are all so cooperative!

 

[ruixuan]

missyz
aiyo.. not who vs who... i not creating business here. aiya... if interested, can coordinate.

i think better not put pic in fb to create more misunderstnding...

i also keen to try sean lau. but i need hubby's permission. sure cannot !!!

 

[mum_on_the_go]

Giraffe,
Sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch. Hang in there !

Baby bonus top up:

Sylvia,
I am sure your girl is fine ! Dun worry too much. I remember when Adel fell, he also laughed. Guess what, he fell AGAIN yesterday. Put him beside HB and he FELL ASLEEP instead of keeping watch of Adel. Next thing I heard "pop". When I went to see, Adel fell head in into the wastepaper basket with legs literally hanging in the air ! I should have taken a photo. I dunno how he fell to land up this way. Actually , dun scold me, I think it is quite funny ! Nothing wrong with him luckily, no vomitting. Just watch for signs lah...

 

[yumeumi]

Happy mummy,

ya.. tks. will watch for signs.

Wah!! how he wriggle n end up this way? Aiyo.... hope he is ok.

[rona]

Sylvia,
missed your post just now. your gal still can smile after the fall? heheheee... she must have thought its funny! hope she is fine and no bumps too! As for the props, yes there are some, check out ruixuan's fotos. I didn't know they kept their props in a room behind... so we only used the sofa and the armchair. heheheeee...

happy_mummy,
Adel fell too? so funny the way he landed! make me smile too - thought it happens only in cartoons! hahahaha! don't scold me ok? are there any rubbish in the wastepaper basket? just worried that he may be licking chocolate wrappers or something... watch him out!

 

[huichin]
