During the photoshoot , i have communicate husband and talk about how Chinese culture reflecting their arrival baby while the wife preparing the props and the baby outfit. Since this is their first child , the wife talk about her experience before delivering the baby. Before the baby born , it is very important to make sure the mother happy because they believe that her emotional state will affect the unborn baby. If the mother sad , or stressed might lead the baby that will cry a lot. They also cant swear or speak bad language because it might cursing the baby. Rubbing too much will lead a spoilt kid. The thing that the family need to avoid in any cost is no renovation during the pregnancy or it ll affect the development of the baby. She say , it was difficult time for her , because it was her first pregnancy experience.
