Photo Shoot

When we first moved to Manila we stayed in a hotel a couple of blocks away from my office.  This area of the city - as with many others - is not pedestrian-friendly.  Actually, it is not vehicle-friendly either.  One of the few places Stacey, the girls and Uncle Gregory (who was here for two weeks) could walk safely was MegaMall.  As the name implies, it is a huge mall. 

Stacey noticed that there were a few places in the mall where they did "professional" photography.  Unfortunately, it turned out to be similar to what they do at Sears in the U.S. where there is an untrained person who pushes a button on a fixed camera.  Also, the backdrops are a bit limited and most are pretty cheesy.  I did not witness the event, but apparently Stacey selected the best backdrop that they had.  She and Uncle Gregory had to work hard to get what we have here.

Thankfully, a few of the photos came out pretty well.  Through my eyes the girls look really cute.

Stacey said that Clara (above) was really working it for the camera and had a good time. 

Lucy tended to be a bit more reserved.  She has such a serious expression!  Hard not to feel judged with that look. 

I love the hand on the back of the chair.  It seems like a really old fashioned style.
