In-Home Lifestyle Family Photoshoot in Singapore

Family Photos @ Fort Canning Park

Family Photoshoot @ Singapore Gardens By The Gardens

On one thing we all must agree: Singapore has gorgeous backgrounds for Photography. I’m absolutely thrilled with this session at Gardens by The Bays. On weekday this spot isn’t busy and we basically could get all the place for ourselves!

Some clients get worried about cloudy days for photos, thinking the images won’t look so nice, or just too dark. I looove working on cloudy days! As I’ve said before, the harsh sunlight can be the scariest thing for me as a Photographer. Avoiding the harsh highlights/shadows on peoples face can become easily a nightmare on post-production!

The weather on this day was so perfect! The humidity in Singapore can be challenging to keep the hair and makeup in place, so the clouds in the sky can be a huge friend on our side. And the moody vibe, dark tones just make the image pop to your eyes!

Family Photoshoot @ Singapore Botanic Gardens

I’ve done quite a few family photos at Singapore Botanic Gardens, and all of them look quite different. One photoshoot is never the same as the other, no matter if it is at the same place, on same weather.

I love the idea of being a “fly on the wall”, catching life as it is without trying to interfere with what is going on. I try not to pose/direct my clients too much—I want them to act as naturally as possible and interact with each other as they always do. The reason why one session is never the same! I believe the core of my work is to bring this spontaneity to the images and make the moments as much as real as possible.

I love everything about this session! I was basically chasing the kids running around and climbing the trees and enjoying the moment. It was the first time the family was back at the park, after a few months on lockdown (Covid-19). And that made everything special on this shoot!

No matter how difficult and heavy your week/day has been, this little pumpkin will warm your heart!

We all are living under hard times and simple days like this are not being allowed in some many nations at this point. Hope is all we have! Hope that we’ll leave this Pandemic with a promise to live a more responsible and selfless life. More compassion. More love. More committed to our home Earth, our family as a human being, regardless race, religion or nation. More appreciation to our freedom, to simple moments like this—a walk in the park in a Sunday afternoon.
