Best family photographers in Singapore
1. Red Bus Photography
Best for: The magic of everyday family life
We previously featured Kerry Cheah, cool mum and photographer behind Red Bus Photography (above), so it’s no surprise that she’s at the top of our list of the best photographers in Singapore. Why? Kerry not only aims to snap a photo of your kids and family, but each of her photographs shows the relationship between the subject and the environment. There’s more we’d say about why we love her shots, but why not take a look at her portfolio instead?

Best for: Intimate maternity and newborn photoshoots
If you’re looking to memorialise your pregnancy to the birth of your new baby, look no further than Evie Grace Photography! Helmed by mum and photographer Emily Newell, her photos are gorgeous in capturing your new bundle of joy (although of course she captures shots of other age groups too!). Folks have also praised her patience and experience – from pre-consultation chats to the shoot itself. Certainly one of the best photographers in Singapore in our opinion.

3. Hayley Durack Photography
Best for: Making you feel like your best friend has come over to snap a few shots
Sure, Hayley Durack is an Aussie professional photographer with impressive international experience and a raft of awards to her name. But this isn’t why we love her. As a people person, she’ll chat to you and your kids (until she feels she knows you) before taking out her camera. The result? Simply stunning, natural, honest photos of your family doing things you love. And as a mum of three herself, Hayley knows the full gamut of beautiful AND crazy things that kids do. Go with Hayley Durack photography and you’ll be blinking back tears when you see the pics for the first time and every time after that.

A firm believer in spontaneous and natural shots, The Family Man doesn’t believe in continuously telling kids what to do in front of the camera. Rather, he allows kids to behave naturally, allowing them to explore and make sense of their space while capturing them in their element. Instead of rigid, cookie-cutter studio shots, your family portrait will result in priceless mementoes which will also be truly unique.
