Favourite unique spot for a photoshoot:

“We love a quiet, established park on the hill in Outram. The elevation gives photos a perspective like we’re overlooking a valley, yet it’s actually a busy road down below. There are beautiful trees and big boulders in this old park which provide such an amazing setting of nature. The best thing is we can go there anytime as it’s always quiet.”

A mother of four herself who handles many of our That Mama and Cool Dads family shoots, Irina is a pro when it comes to family photoshoots with kids (she says timing and having snacks on hand are key!). She also recommends that families have a think about where their images will be displayed and what clothing items they’ll wear — try to go for timeless, but also keep Singapore’s humid weather in mind if you’ll be shooting outside!

Favourite spot for a photo shoot:

“The Singapore Botanic Gardens are both convenient and versatile. There are so many different types of greenery to use as a backdrop for portraits, so it’s easy to change it up. It definitely ticks all the boxes for the perfect family photography session.”

Katie is a British-born photographer who has specialised in family photography in Singapore for over five years. Her aesthetic is simple, natural and organic. She doesn’t believe in heavily re-touching photos, because it’s all about capturing those fleeting everyday moments – think being tickled, playing games, or just having fun at home with your family – which become something truly special to look back on.

Favourite spot for a photo shoot:

“Marina Barrage is a beautiful and popular location. I’m often asked to do photoshoots for families leaving Singapore, and Marina Barrage is a perfectly breezy spot for playing games and running around while using different angles for the backdrop – including the iconic Singapore skyline.”
