How To Select a Photo Studio For Your Extended Family Photoshoot? Read These 5 Tips!

Looking For A Photo Studio For Extended Family Photoshoot?

Now, someone in your family is coming back to Singapore for a short holiday and this is the only time when every family member is back in Singapore. You’ve been tasked to find a photo studio for extended family photoshoot and make it happen this time round.
 
You’ve never done this before, so what do you lookout for? Here are the top five things to consider when selecting a photo studio for your extended family photoshoot.
 

1. Photography Style

Who is the photoshoot for? Sit down with the family and figure out what kind of photo shoot style that you can all agree with.

Do you want traditional posed shots, or something more candid? Do you want everyone in traditional clothing? Or do you want a more casual shoot?

If you have elders in the family, our experience is that they may lean more towards the traditional style of photography. Having said that, our photo studio does have traditional backdrops that enable us to do traditional, formal family portrait, and we can move on to more casual, candid setting in the one session.

It is still therefore important to get consensus from everyone (especially the elders) on the style of photos you want to make the shoot a success.

2. Shoot Location

Singapore is a small island where everywhere you go by car is around 15 to 45 min max. The proximity of the studio to everyone’s home could be something to consider especially if you have small children or elderly relatives with you.

3. Studio and Outdoor?

Again, this is something you’ll want to discuss with the whole family. Some studios only offer one or the other, so be sure to ask.

You would be pleased to know that Bambini Photography can now do both studio and outdoor (with our group’s custom outdoor backdrops) within our air-conditioned studio.

You have the option of doing a mix of indoor and outdoor in our photo studio for extended family photoshoot without the heat, sweat, insects or rain.

4. Studio & Building Accessibility

If you have any family members who are mobility challenged, make sure to pick a studio that is accessible for them. There’s nothing worse than trying to navigate a flight of stairs with a wheelchair or stroller especially when everyone is all dressed up.

Some studios have stairs, while others do not. Our studio is located in an accessible building with kerbless pavements, large lift car, and wide corridors for ease of wheelchair/stroller access. Studio is also kerbless with spacious washrooms/changing room.

5. Parking

This may seem like a minor detail, but it’s important to consider if you have a large family and/or you’re bringing elderly relatives with you.

Make sure to pick a studio with plenty of parking for everyone, sheltered drop off area so everyone can get in and out comfortably and easily. Everyone can arrive looking their best.

Keep these 5 things in mind when selecting a photo studio for your extended family photoshoot, and you’ll be sure to have a great pre-shoot experience.

We had our family photoshoot on 10/4/22. I am very pleased with the photography session. Although it was a rather last-minute booking, they managed to accommodate us on a Sunday. Our photographer, Mr Shafiq was such a pleasant guy and he was able to capture the attention of my 2 young granddaughters and my son’s three dogs. My grand-daughter had an abrasion and Shafiq even went out of the way to look for a plaster for her. The photos were very well-taken and we were pleased with how they had turned out. Thank you Shafiq and Bambini for the pleasant, stress-free experience. – Mdm Chew, April 2022

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.

Lydia was prompt in getting back on scheduling for the photoshoot. We had a good experience with Syafiq as the photographer for my baby’s newborn shoot. He was gentle with baby and could calm her down when she was fussy. Cant wait to receive the photos!

We had a fun photoshoot and Syafiq made us felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the photoshoot. Syafiq was also able to soothe our baby when he fidgeted during the photoshoot.

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!
