Ditch The Phone – Incorporate New Experiences With Your Kids This School Holidays

School Holidays Activity Ideas

When school holidays approaches, parents start to look for things to fill their days when the kids are home. It’s also usually the school holidays where parents create new experiences for the kids and perhaps for themselves at the same time.

Duchess of Cambridge (now Princess of Wales) revealed in her Happy Mum, Happy Baby Interview Podcast in 2020 that she tries to incorporate a lot of experiences that her granny gave her; into the experiences she give to her children now. Doing simple things like taking a walk, cooking, doing arts and crafts and essentially spending time together. Here are a few ideas that families can do with their kids this school holidays.

1. Reconnect With Nature This School Holidays

Take a break from the city life and reconnect with nature. Get outdoors and spice up your healthy living habits by exploring the nature reserves and parks via the Park Connector Network of Singapore (PCN)!

Whether it’s cycling, walking, running or hiking, take some time away from the screens and dive into an adventure like no other? It’s a great way to get the whole family involved with physical activity and bonding.

Get out and make some lasting memories while staying active in spectacular sights around our garden city.

2. Cooking Or Baking Together

Bonding experiences in the kitchen are invaluable for both parents and children. In pre-schools, the kids get to do pretend play at the kitchen corner. When you cook or bake together with the kids, the little ones get to watch the process of making real food from scratch, and they even get to help out! Not only do they learn how to make delicious dishes, but also how to practice delayed gratification by creating something together over time.

After a successful batch of cookies or tasty pasta dish, not only are bellies satisfied, but memories made that last a lifetime – ones that will definitely be looked back on one day with a grateful heart and childlike smile. So get the kids involved today – let them know they’re just as important in the kitchen as dad and mom!

3. Playing Games During School Holidays

If you’re looking for some good old-fashioned fun, nothing beats playing games with your family! Playing games is an timeless way to bring together people of all ages and have a great time.

From card games like uno, to board classics such as Monopoly, or even some of the amazing video games gets everyone to increase their team work skills to bring everyone together For the younger kids, the exercise allow them to practice and learn to take turns.

You might be surprised just how much fun you can have while making good memories at the same time. Get competitive, joke around and enjoy each other’s company while doing something active that’ll make everyone laugh!

4. Create Something Together This School Holidays

We all take far too many photos these days. From selfies to record keeping photos; saving photos taken by the preschool teachers. With the average person spending over three hours on their phone every day, it’s no wonder our photo libraries are overflowing. But what good are all those pictures if they’re just sitting on our phones, never to be seen again?

This school holidays, why not involve your kids and family in compiling their memories? Go through your family photos together, shortlist the ones you want to print and make into photo albums or even for scrap booking. You can sort the photos by year and compile those photos into a yearly like some of our clients have done. It’s a great bonding activity and a rewarding experience to look back on those happy memories for years to come. It’s a celebration of little moments that benefit us even if they’re small.

5. Go On An Adventure

Exploring new places in your own country can be a fun and rewarding adventure. Taking the time to engage with new cultures, unfamiliar sights, and different sounds, can be energizing and inspiring. Take advantage of the opportunity, no matter where you live – hit the beach to watch a sunset, visit an old temple or take a night time stroll through the city. Be a tourist all over again. As a tourist you’ll be inspired by new experiences as you observe and learn from all that new environment has to offer – new life stories, food specialties and beautiful scenery. So no matter how often you’ve traveled before – don’t forget to take some time out and explore the new side of Singapore that’s waiting for you!

What Now?

This school holidays, don’t forget to prioritise family bonding. With the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, it’s easy to take time with those closest to us for granted.

There are many ways to share some special moments together. From getting outside in nature, cooking together in the kitchen, playing games on the couch, creating something together; whatever you decide on there will be an invaluable return – quality time spent with your loved ones!

Put aside all distractions from daily life – unplug from work emails and Netflix binges – and go on an adventure together.

Above all else, remember to have fun! And if you find yourself needing help in compiling photos into an album to keep those good times alive, then don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Why You Need To Do A Kindergarten Graduation Photoshoot?

Why You Need To Do A Kindergarten Photoshoot?

Yes, you managed to complete your child’s Primary 1 Registration successfully!

That certainly calls for a celebration!

Your baby will be ready to move on to big school with bigger space, lots of classes and many more children. You can’t help but feel proud of what they have learnt and become in the first 6 years of their life.

You would have to agree that graduating from Kindergarten is definitely one of your child’s biggest milestone achieved to date.

Where Have All The Time Gone?

This is when reality sets in!

You realised that your child has grown so so much from the time you remember of them when they were a newborn baby. You feel that parenthood had accelerated time and wondered where all the time had gone…

The only hardcopy photograph that you might have of your child is their newborn photo or passport photo?

You start to wonder if you can freeze time or turn back the clock? Whether you should have tried to get some professional photos done for your child in between those years.

You are not alone!

We have been photographing families for the last 12 years, since 2009 and have heard and seen lots.

This is exactly the reason why we exist.

Is It Time To Celebrate?

Many studies have shown that celebrating milestones help give children a sense of accomplishment and pride.

With the kindergarten graduation ceremonies scaled down in recent times, many families have thought about ways to celebrate safely. Many clients whom we have talked to have actually thought about doing a professional family portrait for years!

Some have even told us that they can’t procrastinate any longer. They must get a proper family portrait done. What better time than to get the family together to celebrate their child’s graduation milestone with a Kindergarten Graduation Photoshoot while updating the extended family or family portrait at the same time!

As we all know, we make things happen when we are intentional and most, if not all of the time, we follow through the things that are booked into our calendar. Much so like a family trip or a staycation …

Is it time to celebrate? For sure, it’s always time!

Celebrate milestones, celebrate achievements, celebrate life, appreciate what we have everyday and start taking action to make meaningful memories for your kids, your family. Because time passes at an even faster speed once they enter Primary School. You don’t want to have that mum /parent guilt that you should have at least get a professional graduation and family portrait to mark this special milestone.

Seize this opportunity and make it happen this time!

Here are the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about kindergarten graduation photoshoot in our studio.

How Do I Decide? Studio Maternity or Milkbath Maternity Photoshoot?

I’m sure by now, many of you have seen those beautiful maternity milkbath images…

Now the question for many mummies-to-be is:
How do I decide which maternity photoshoot is better?
Or which is more suitable?
Then there is the question if you can do both?

Firstly, there is no “which is better”, it’s which do you prefer?

And regarding if you can do both?
Of course you can!

Here are some answers to the concerns you may have:

“I really like the pictures I see, but I’m not good at posing”

Here’s where our trained photographers play the part, we’re not expecting you to know how to pose, and we will guide you through every shot, up to where to place your hand, how to stand, or sit, or lie down, where to look.

Do you have a preferred side, we’ll work with that. Our photographers are all ladies too, and we know how it’s like when our hair is not looking the best – we’ll help you adjust your hair through the session too, and watch out for anything that is out of place.

If there is one thing in common for photographers, we love details – and we look at details when we are photographing you. We do our best to cover any little part and we need your help too and we’ll work together to create the images you love.

“It looks difficult to pose for those maternity milkbath shots…”

On the contrary, if you want to keep the posing to even a minimal with us, maternity milkbath is the way to go!

You are literally taking a milk spa, it’s a moisturizing soap we’re using to create the milky effect and you’re just soaking it in.

We’ll move around to get the best angles for you and occasionally guide you to where to place your hands and where to look or turn… That’s about it! Simple and easy. Beautiful images and soft supple skin after the shoot!

“I don’t have any suitable clothing or any nice clothes for photoshoot“

But we have it! We have a selection in the studio that you can choose from. In one session, we usually do about 3 different styles so there is definitely enough looks for you.

We’re need your help to let us know if you would like to use our clothing and we’ll prepare them beforehand so when you come, we have everything ready for you!

If you need some help on what clothes you can bring from your own home to add on to what we have, you can find some inspiration here: 8 Tips to Dressing Your Bump

“Do I have to bring those nice fabrics you use for milkbath? But I don’t have any…“

And you don’t have to bring any of those fabrics we use to drape and style for the maternity studio and milkbath images :)

They are all provided for in the studio, together with the floral elements we use in the milkbath. We have some flower crowns available as hair accessories too!

There are a few choices of colours, if you have a preference do let us know!

If you have a favourite in terms of choice for flowers, feel free to bring along some fresh flowers to incorporate into your milkbath photoshoot too!

“How can you ever say anything negative about your body after you have felt the dancing of life from inside your womb?”
– Amethyst Joy

“I want to have something to remember my pregnancy but I’m not sure if I’ll look good in photos…”

Don’t compare yourselves to models on magazines! Everything is photoshopped… And we photoshop too, but our goal is still to bring out the most natural and beauty of your pregnancy, so we won’t overdo the editing! We’re celebrating your curves and within you, you’re creating a new life :)

There are camera angles and lightings we can work with to create images to make you look flattering. Who doesn’t want that?

And what’s a better way to remember your memories of this moment than taking photos. We are here to be a part of your growing journey and after photographing hundreds and hundreds of mummies-to-be, and being women ourselves, we know your concerns on looking good and that is simply our job – to help you look good in photos.

“I’m concerned about my hair and make-up once it gets wet in the milkbath shots.”

Don’t worry about your face getting wet! It won’t be!

Your hair would get kind of wet, but not completely… And the wet hair is part of the look!
We will definitely be doing substantial amount of images with your hair still dry and if you have any curls done and leave getting the hair wet right at the end of the shoot.

If you like your hair in an updo, that’s great! Go with your preference, get your hair done how you like it.

We can attempt some hair-down shots towards the end of the shoot for some variety in your look as well.

All in all, we’re flexible. Let us know your preferences so we can adjust to your liking. If you don’t have any specific preference, we can recommend what we feel looks best on you too!

“Too busy” is a myth, people make time for the things that are really important to them – Mandy Hale

Can’t get enough of the maternity images, head over to our Studio Maternity and Milkbath Portfolio to see more!

We can discuss over whatsapp and email, let us hear what you have in mind and we’ll work together to make it happen!

Maternity photoshoot became a new concept ever since 1995 when Vanity Fair had Demi Moore looking all glorious with her belly swelling on its cover page. It was an overnight sensation that sparked the talk about a new age of photography, breaking barriers and gave rise to the prominence of maternity photoshoot.

A photographer’s experience in Posing, Lighting, Styling and their Sensitivity towards the changes in your body are things that make an enjoyable maternity photoshoot.

And of course, not forgetting our most recent introduction of our Maternity Milk Bath Photography, which you can do a combination of studio ‘Land’ shots with the family; followed by relaxing in nourishing Milk Bath in the tub on the second half of the shoot all done in the studio. Bambini Photography is the only studio in Singapore doing Maternity studio and milkbath in one session.

“We had an awesome maternity cum family photoshoot with Bambini. All queries with regards to shooting day, attires, photos selection, special upgrade packages etc. were addressed promptly and the staffs are also nice & warm.

On the shooting day, our photographer Fatilyn has managed to capture all the precious moments in freeze frames. I can see joy, I can see love, I can see bliss in the pix. She also managed to capture my 2 elder kids’ cheeky moments. Friends have commented that there are so much love in the photos.

Its the time of the year again where in normal times, we see mothers from young to old receiving flowers; 1-5 generations of mothers celebrating Mother’s Day with a special meal with the family; Baby girl, mum, grandma to great/great grandmas spending the day together visiting /revisiting places of interest reminiscing memories spent with the family.

Mothers Day In 2020 Vs Now

Mother’s Day in May 2020 was very different where all of us were staying home. We suddenly became an expert in online purchases, multi-tasking work, domestic chores & kid’s home schooling all at the same time when everyone is home 24/7 during the peak of the pandemic.

Fast forward to 2023, Mother’s Day events and celebrations are back with to pre-pandemic era.

We’re all able to visit one another, have gatherings and spending the day with the mamas on this special day. Treasure & honour mummies, grandma’s, great-grandmas for their strength, perseverance, adaptive problem solving skills and unconditional love for the family.

Take this opportunity, gather the mums in your lives to celebrate Mother’s Day…

Such a seamless experience from booking to receiving our photos! Lydia was so accommodating in the booking process, explaining to us the various packages they had. We wanted a newborn photoshoot for our preemie whose corrected age was about a month. We were really looking forward to this since she had spend a long time in hospital however, other companies who only focused on newborn shoots rejected us since she was pass the newborn phase. I was so appreciative that the Bambini is well-versed in photoshoots for multiple age groups and were willing to try newborn poses if my baby tolerated it. If not, they were flexible enough to do a 1 to 2 month shoot for us. The photos turned out amazing and May our photographer was sooo good with our baby! She managed to capture some newborn photos for us too! We were so happy and appreciative that we got those photos and she sent them to us the very next day to view them! Gorgeous photos and priceless memories. Thank you so much to whole team!

We had a really wonderful experience with Bambini. Right from handling our queries to the actual photography session, the team was very professional. Lydia, who answered our queries and helped with the booking, is very patient and accommodating. Syafiq, our photographer, is also very patient. We appreciate his suggestions on the different poses and made us laugh and smile almost the whole time. Thanks again, Bambini.

Bambini was very accommodating to my last minute request, despite close to closing time, my photo session was done after 5 p.m. I am very appreciative for the arrangement. Miss Lydia was very prompt with the administrations of my request. She did it very swiftly. Hence, booking and all my other queries were made easy for me. I am very thankful for this. As for Mr Syafiq, Bambini's photographer, he is really wonderful. His calming disposition made the entire session very relaxing and appeasing for me. Kudos to Bambini for having such fine personnel.

I had the most delightful maternity photoshoot experience with May at Bambini Photography! Both my husband and I were thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and patience throughout the session. May's invaluable advice on posing really helped us look our best, and her guidance made the entire process feel effortless. We look forward to receive the finishing photos as the photoshoot came to a close. The studio's enclosed area not only ensured our privacy but also created a comfortable atmosphere that allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. May at Bambini Photography have left us with beautiful memories to cherish. Our booking process with Lydia was very easy , she is very responsive to my enquiry through and email and messages . Highly recommended!

Did a family graduation photoshoot + corporate photoshoot. I have to say, it was extremely worth our time and money. May was extremely skillful and hospitable. She went above and beyond just to make sure we’re comfortable and looked the best. She knew what our best angles were at any point of time. She had even brought out the happiness and closeness of my family in pictures. We had our own ideas on what poses and style to have, but she not only enhanced our ideas, but brought magic into our photos. Little Anna was also there to keep us company while we had so much fun during the photoshoot. So excited for the end results of our photos. We will definitely return. Thank you, May!
