family photography Archives

I did something memorable on my birthday last month, family photoshoot with Cloud Productions at Toa Payoh Town Park.

We were in our sports attire as I wished to emphasised “A family which trains together, grows strong together”.

Then and now, my brother and me 🙂
After Toa Payoh Town Park was rejuvenated (the pond was crowded with tortoises then), I am happy to find familiar arching stone bridge and low hanging trees.

We did not specifically pick any colour-matching clothes, but the pictures turn out great. Cloud Productions make us look photogenic and Happy. Say Yes Please 🙂

Truth is, it is never easy to gather the kids’ attention. They were tired after morning activities.
The tortoises were a constant distraction, and I had to remind the kids not to throw stones at the poor tortoise!

The weather was slightly warm but the trees were really inviting. We pose around the branches with gorgeous background water body.

In case you are wondering why Boon Xin refrains from smiling, she is very conscious of her missing front teeth. She still looks very sweet though. I am definitely bias 🙂

Our package was 60 minutes, but I suspect maybe 20 minutes was spent coaxing the kids to cooperate. You know, the reminders “Look here, Open your eyes, Smile, 5 more minutes finish”.

Cloud Productions’ Chief Photographer (Irene) was very patient with our kids’ antics. I know how hard it is to make everyone stay still for 10 seconds and look at the lens haha.

Within the hour, Irene captured a few lovely and warm family portraits. Some of the poses were spontaneous, but we love the effects! Mummy especially like the first picture, with background sunlight embracing us.

The kids had fun running up and down the various contours too.

Yeah, the siblings like to play with stones too, they sometimes aim the pebbles at each other too!

We hope the siblings will continue to love and care for each other as they grow older.

[ Studio Me Review ]

Young Punks.

SengkangBabies got to act crazy and live our dreams, without incurring passerby’s disapproving stares or tsk tsk.

We were invited to rock at Studio Me.

Let your creativity roams, let your individuality shines.
Go crazy, release the Star inside, unleash your inhibitions.

Looking at the first photo above, you know we did not bring “shyness” to the studio.

To quote from Studio Me :
Did you know that “Green Screen” or “Blue Screen” effects are also known as Chroma Key Compositing, which is commonly used in Hollywood movies production? Book a studio now to experience what they do on the big screen!

Please skip Green in your wardrobe, unless you wish to camouflage yourself !

In 3 easy steps, Pose, Step and Smile.

The LED screen will teach you which pedal to step, in order to change the background. We have to remind everyone to take turns, as kids can be overly enthusiastic !

This is the captured image, we have to get use to looking at the camera, normally we end up looking higher at the LED screen 🙂

Think Neo print, but on a bigger scale. At Studio Me, you get to book your own mini studio where you can shoot as many photos within a 30-minutes session. There are 3 themed mini studios – Unity, Pop and Icon, with more than 48 themes (in total).

Make sure you grab some props (or bring your own) to make your photos Pop !

Behind the scenes is equally, if not, more Fun !

Did Daddy say this is one of his easiest blog post? He just needs to let the photos do the talking, and almost every photo turn up comical and fun !

It is really easy to make everyone smile. At Studio Me, family photo is not so difficult anymore. Look at the fun Themes below 🙂

SengkangBabies like red carpet treatment, glam it up !

Once they got hold of the three steps, kids were happy exploring the other studios !

Little Rock stars !

Romantic moments, with LOVE and Rose petals everywhere (can we request for a chocolate backdrop?)

Cartoons haha, we look so cute hiding behind Doraemon’s door, or whacking the tortoise in Mario Land.

Have you ever dream of appearing on Magazine covers? Our family is bigger, so we need to wriggle here and there to fit the Frame.

Jaws ! King Kong ! T-Rex , wow Awesome haha 🙂

Although we do not have budget to touch Eiffel tower or Statue of Liberty, but we can pretend right :p

Or for that matter, to catch autumn in Osaka ( No Sakura theme ?)

You must ask Studio Me about “Around the World in 30 minutes” Package !

We let the kids decide the backdrop and the props themselves. We heard from Marie (Marketing Studio Me) that some families even book three studios to celebrate their children’s birthdays !

Wow, this should be fun for the kids.

Kids can busk !

FuN is Spontaneous ! Just look at the siblings go crazy !

Our new room.

We are going holiday again, hello we forgot to wear our footwear 🙂

At the end of the session, it just takes 10 minutes to download all your photos into a CD. Yes, we get to keep every single shot (no extra charge). Studio Me’s canvas is also popular with customers, some even bring their own photos to frame.
