Hi everyone! I’ve finally received the photos and album from a local photo studio where we had our family photoshoot last December. You can still check out that post here.

These are the final products that we received!

The following services were included in the whole packet. It was about $87 for the whole service.

-3 hour photoshoot

-You can pick 3 different outfits and themes.

-Includes simple hair & make-up for the whole family

-Edited and printed photos will be sent to you within 60 days;

• 2 framed photos （Size: 50㎝ｘ60㎝ ＆ 12㎝x26㎝）
• A photo book (21㎝ｘ31㎝）containing 25 photos
• 2 wallet-sized photos
• All digital data

The large framed photo had parts in the back to hang it on the wall, which was very helpful.

I learned that this red dress is a traditional wedding Chinese dress. The embroidery on the dress and the accessories were so detailed, we loved this dress so much! This red dress is called 秀禾服 (Xiuhefu) which is traditionally worn for wedding ceremonies, but nowadays, it can be worn at photoshoots like we did.

The fan that my younger daughter was holding says 「天作之合」in Chinese. Afterward, we learned that it means “a match made in heaven.” 

I think my face, especially the outline was edited a little bit, even though I told the staff that I wanted to keep it natural.

It took about 2 months to receive all these final products but I think it was because we had the Christmas holidays and Chinese New Year in February. So it was no problem as long as we received our photos.

We took this family photo at the rice terraces during our trip to Guilin last September. They have another name, Dragon’s Backbone. These beautiful rice terraces were built by ethnic minorities, the Yao and Zhuang tribes, about 670 years ago.

We only have one year and a few months until we move to the next post. I would like to share what we see and experience on my blog more.

Thank you for reading my blog!
