Mason: Parts Manager

You’re looking at the newest Parts Manager at Chan-Clan, Inc. Mason’s core is finally strong enough to support him sitting for a few seconds – just enough for a quick photograph.

Mason: 6 months baby session

HenryC — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 18:26:33 +0000

Mason turned 6 months old earlier this Month so the Chan-Clan headed out to The Huntington Library for a family photo session. Going to the Library has become a tradition now since we also went there when Sophia turned 6 months old.

Mason @ 4 months

Wow, my son is now about 4.5 months old. Here are some updated photographs of him from a few days ago.

Mason recently started turning and sleeping on his tummy at night. With the fear of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) properly drilled into me from Doctors, parenting books and online web resources, you can image that I was cautiously fearful for my son’s well-being. Everytime I check and discover him in this “dangerously compromising” position, I’m torn between letting my boy sleep or taking a chance that flipping him tummy-side up would wake him up and start a bout of endless wailing. He’s been turning back around more often during the day, so my fear of nighttime SIDS have been assuaged somewhat. What do some of you new parents do in my situation?

Baby Photography: Hanna’s 1st Birthday

Hanna’s first birthday is coming up and her parents wanted to string together photographs of her with clothespins and ribbons to use as an art piece for her birthday party.

How adorable does Hanna look in her outfits?

Cute pose! Hanna actually doesn’t like hats too much. I captured the photograph below as she reached up to pull off the hat.

Hanna loves bananas!

Yup, that’s Sophia on the right.

My little angel is as devious as she looks below.

Sophia: First Birthday

HenryC — Sat, 15 May 2010 07:37:37 +0000

Sophia turned one at 8:40 pm today. She’ll celebrate her first birthday tomorrow with a small group of family and friends. Below are the first photographs of my one year old daughter.

It’s difficult to believe how fast the days have passed. Just one year ago, I was anxiously standing in the hallway immediately outside the OR. The Doctor said he would call for me when Sophia is born. I heard a cry and then another and rushed in to see the nurses cleaning my daughter. I checked to make sure Cindy was okay then returned to take the very first photographs of Sophia barely minutes old. Sophia is now one. She can stand and take small steps. She has a small set of vocabulary and can say mamma, grandma, bird, flower, food, and a few others in Chinese. She comprehends a lot more than she can vocalize at the moment. She even clenches both her fists and throws a tantrum! My, how time flies.

I spent the most of the day processing photographs and stumbled upon some images I captured of Sophia from 2 weeks ago. Grandma and Mommy had some fun with Sophia.

Baby Portrait: Nate 3 months

George and Arlyn recently married in May of last year and they’re off to a running start. I spent some time this morning photographing their 3 month old baby boy, Nate. Nate is sure a handsome little fella. I think Sophia has a little crush on him. She made some cooing noises when she first saw his photographs.

Sophia: Halloween Costumes

HenryC — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:27:44 +0000

Sophia’s first Halloween is approaching. She’s really excited and couldn’t wait to try on the two costumes that Mommy purchased for her. Sophia can’t decide which on she likes better. The tulle and glitter on the fairy costume is a bit uncomfortable and itchy. The pink monster costume is cute but Sophia thinks it makes her look fat.

What do you all think? Which one should Mommy keep for her?

Sophia: 4 months

Friends and family have asked for updated photographs of my little Pooh-bear. Sophia is around 4 months old in the photographs below.

The sound of the shutter clicking is quite deafening when all is quiet. I feel nervous that I’ll wake Sophia up with every photograph I capture of her sleeping.
