I understand that each age brings its own unique charm and character and I take pride in highlighting those distinctive qualities through my photography. Whether it's the innocence of a baby's smile, the curiosity of a toddler or the personality of a teenager, I ensure that every portrait reflects the individuality of your child. These portraits become timeless treasures, preserving the fleeting moments of childhood.

The result is a collection of photographs that authentically portray your child's connection with the great outdoors.

Why Skai is the Premium Choice for Children Photography

What sets me apart from other children's photographers? Let me break it down for you:

  1. I Enjoy Playing with Children: Sure, technical skills are essential, but what truly makes me stand out is my knack for connecting with kids on a personal level. I don't just click pictures; I dive right into their world. I run, I laugh and I play alongside them, creating an atmosphere where they feel comfortable and free to be themselves. It's in these unscripted moments that we capture the genuine, heartwarming shots that truly shine. When you're looking for a professional photographer for your children, whether it's a portrait or a lively event like a birthday celebration, this personal touch is paramount.
  2. I Shoot Anywhere: Flexibility is my game. I specialise in on-location photography, right in the comfort zone of your child. When we shoot in a place your kid loves, it not only brings out their confidence but also adds that extra dash of liveliness and natural charm to the photos. From your house to the local park, I'm all in for creating the perfect backdrop that tells your child's story.
  3. I Do Bespoke Photography: Forget cookie-cutter photos. I'm all about crafting a unique experience that's as fun and interesting as your child's imagination. Bespoke photography is where it's at. I take the time to get to know you and your kid, discussing ideas and planning meticulously. It's not just a shoot and done; it's a collaborative adventure, ensuring we capture exactly what you and your child desire.
  4. High-Quality Photos: When it comes to the quality of my work, the proof is in the portfolio. I'm armed with professional lighting equipment but I'm also well-versed in the art of natural light. Whether it's one or a fusion of both, I can create visually stunning and creative photos that'll leave you in awe. Quality is my middle name, and it shines through every shot.
  5. Safety Is My Priority: When your child is in front of my lens, their safety is my top concern. I remember a time during a birthday shoot when a kid got into a bit of a pickle in the pool. Without hesitation, I rushed over and sorted things out, putting safety above all else. You can trust that I'll go the extra mile to ensure your child's well-being throughout the session.

So, when you choose me as your children's photographer, you're not just getting pictures; you're getting an experience filled with passion, flexibility, creativity and, most importantly, safety. Let's capture those priceless moments together!

About: Skai the Children's Photographer

Professional children's photographer in Singapore Hey there, I'm Skai, your friendly neighbourhood children's photographer based right here in sunny Singapore.

Photography isn't just my job; it's my passion and capturing the enchantment of childhood is what truly sets my heart on fire. I believe in creating not just pictures but timeless memories that families will treasure for generations to come.

From candid outdoor adventures to themed dreamscapes, I'm all about capturing the authentic spirit of your child. I run, laugh, and play alongside them to ensure we get those genuine, heartwarming moments.

So, if you're looking for someone who's not just a photographer but a friend to your child during the session, you've found your guy. Let's create some magic together!

Skai's Vision & Goals in Children Photography

My vision and goals in children photography are deeply rooted in the belief that childhood is the most innocent and beautiful stage of life, deserving to be lovingly documented. I see it as a celebration of that pure innocence, a testament to the genuine laughter, wonder and boundless curiosity that define this precious time.

Children grow at an astonishing pace and their transformation is among the most significant chapters of life. It's essential to capture this fleeting journey comprehensively, ensuring that every stage is properly documented. I believe in embracing this transformation through photography, preserving not only the physical changes but also the emotional and intellectual growth.

Parenting is undoubtedly one of life's most challenging roles and it's my firm conviction that documenting a child's growth at different stages is a gift to both parents and children alike. These photographs become cherished memories that serve as a reminder of the journey, the hurdles and the triumphs of raising a child. It's a celebration of the unwavering love and dedication that parents pour into their children's lives.

Moreover, these photos are not just for the here and now; they are a legacy for the future. They are the stories that children can share with their future spouses and even their own children. They carry with them the essence of family history, connecting generations and weaving a tapestry of love and continuity.

But beyond the documentation, my goal is to make the photoshoots an enjoyable and fun experience for the children themselves. It's not merely about capturing their looks and personalities; it's about creating moments of joy, laughter and carefree play. I find immense happiness in playing with children and witnessing their boundless delight. When I'm with them, I fully immerse myself in the world of fun and innocence, ensuring that the photos reflect the true spirit of childhood.

In essence, my vision is to craft photographs that are not just images but windows into a world of innocence, love and joy. These photographs serve as a testament to the beauty of childhood and the enduring love of families.

How Skai Began Doing Children Photography

My journey into children photography was a natural evolution of my love for playing with children and capturing their genuine moments of joy. It all started with the simple joy of spending time with my nieces and nephews, as well as the kids in my neighbourhood. I'd often find myself immersed in playful adventures, running around, laughing and just being a part of their world. It was during these moments that I realised the potential of photography to capture the pure essence of childhood.

As I continued to interact with children, I took every opportunity to snap their photos. Whether it was at family gatherings, playdates with friends or simply enjoying the company of my neighbours' kids, I found immense joy in documenting their smiles and laughter. These early experiences not only deepened my connection with children but also honed my skills in capturing those authentic, heartwarming moments.

One significant turning point in my journey was the demand for my birthday party photography services. Parents began to recognise that the photos of happy children I captured were not just snapshots but testimonials to the genuine joy and excitement present at these celebrations. They saw the value of having a photographer who not only knew the technical aspects but also had a natural rapport with children.

So, my path into children photography was paved with a genuine love for playing with kids and a keen eye for capturing the beauty of their innocence and happiness. It's a journey I continue to embrace with passion and dedication, creating lasting memories for families across Singapore.

Why Skai Loves Doing Children Photography

I love doing children photography for a multitude of heartfelt reasons. Firstly, I find communicating with children and animals the most comfortable because of their inherent innocence. Unlike cunning adults, children are refreshingly genuine and open, and I genuinely enjoy their companionship. Their innocence and authenticity make them a joy to be around and this connection is the essence of why I love capturing their moments through photography.

Beyond the surface, I see children photography as an opportunity to make children happy, gain their trust, and perhaps share valuable life principles with them. Over the years, I've made my fair share of mistakes and learned valuable lessons. It's my hope that through my interactions with children, I can impart knowledge that guides them towards a brighter, more fulfilling life.

Working with children in photography is less complicated because they have fewer demands and no unrealistic expectations. They embrace the beauty of imperfection, allowing for funny faces and candid moments that bring out their true personalities. This authenticity in their willingness to be themselves creates an atmosphere of ease and creativity during the photoshoots.

Ultimately, what sets children photography apart is the unique brand of fun it brings. It's a different type of enjoyment compared to working with adults and I deeply appreciate the diversity of fun that comes with capturing the joy and innocence of childhood. It's this combination of genuine connection, the opportunity to make children happy, and the simplicity of the process that makes children photography a passion I hold dear.

How Doing Children Photography has Helped Skai Grow

Engaging in children photography has been a transformative journey, not only in capturing the growth of young ones but in my own personal growth as well. Here's how it has helped me evolve:

  1. Patience and Understanding: Working with children, I've learned the art of patience and understanding. Kids have their own pace and moods, and it's essential to adapt and connect with them on their terms. This patience has transcended into other aspects of my life, making me a more empathetic and patient individual.
  2. Creativity and Adaptability: Children often come up with the most imaginative and unexpected ideas during photoshoots. This has fostered my creativity and adaptability, as I've learned to embrace spontaneity and go with the flow. It's a valuable skill that extends beyond photography, helping me approach challenges with an open mind.
  3. Communication: Effective communication is key when working with children. I've honed my ability to convey ideas and instructions in a clear, concise and child-friendly manner. This improved communication has enhanced my interactions with people of all ages, making me a more effective communicator overall.
  4. Appreciation for Simplicity: Children find joy in the simplest of things and this has taught me to appreciate life's little pleasures. It's a reminder that happiness can be found in the ordinary, and it has shifted my perspective towards a more grateful and content outlook.
  5. Emotional Connection: Building genuine emotional connections with children and their families has enriched my life. It's taught me the significance of meaningful relationships and the profound impact they can have on one's well-being. These connections have extended beyond the photography sessions, leading to lasting friendships and a deeper appreciation for human connections.
  6. Continuous Learning: Children are ever-evolving and capturing their growth requires staying up-to-date with evolving photography techniques and trends. This commitment to continuous learning has translated into a passion for personal growth in other aspects of my life, fostering a sense of curiosity and a desire for self-improvement.

In essence, children photography has not only allowed me to document the growth of young ones but has also contributed significantly to my own growth as an individual. It's a journey filled with lessons, joy and personal development, and I cherish every moment of it.

Understanding Children Photography

What is Children Photography?

Children photography, also referred to as child photography, is a specialised field within the realm of portrait photography that focuses exclusively on capturing images of children.

The primary goal of children photography is to create compelling and emotive images that authentically reflect the unique personalities and characteristics of the child subjects. These photographs aim to capture the essence of childhood, portraying the innocence, curiosity, and playfulness that define this precious stage of life. Additionally, children's photographers strive to create a comfortable and engaging environment for their young subjects, allowing them to express themselves naturally and ensuring that each photograph tells a captivating story of childhood. Ultimately, the goal is to provide families with beautiful, lasting memories that celebrate the joys of growing up.

What is Children Photography also Known as?

This genre of photography is also known by several similar terms, including kids' photography, childhood photography and youth photography. These terms are often used interchangeably with "children photography" to describe the same specialisation within the broader field of portrait photography.

What is a Children's Photographer?

A children's photographer specialises in creating visual representations of children at various stages of their growth and development, typically from infancy to adolescence. This genre of photography is dedicated to capturing the unique characteristics, expressions and personalities of children in a creative and visually compelling manner.

Children's photographers may work on a variety of projects, including taking portraits of individual children or families, shooting images for advertising campaigns or editorial use, or documenting events such as parties or school functions.

Children's photographers often work with young children and may need to be patient and able to engage with them in order to get the best results. They may also need to be able to work quickly, as young children can be unpredictable and have a short attention span.

Children's photographers may work in a studio or on location, and they may use a variety of techniques and photography equipment to capture the best images possible.

Different Types of Children's Photoshoots

There are many different types of children's photoshoots, including:

  1. Portrait photoshoots: Portrait photoshoots focus on capturing individual or group portraits of children. These photoshoots can be held in a studio or on location and may include formal posed shots or more candid, natural images.
  2. Milestone photoshoots: Milestone photoshoots are designed to document important milestones in a child's life, such as their first birthday or their first day of school. These photoshoots may be more themed or stylized than a traditional portrait photoshoot.
  3. Family photoshoots: Family photoshoots are designed to capture images of children with their parents and siblings. These photoshoots can be held in a studio or on location and may include formal posed shots or more candid, natural images.
  4. Lifestyle photoshoots: Lifestyle photoshoots are designed to capture candid, natural images of children in their daily lives. These photoshoots may be held at the child's home or in other familiar locations and may include activities such as playing, reading or spending time with family.
  5. Special occasion photoshoots: Special occasion photoshoots are designed to capture images of children at special events, such as parties, sporting events or holiday gatherings. These photoshoots may be more themed or stylized than a traditional portrait photoshoot.
  6. Newborn photoshoots: Newborn photoshoots are designed to capture images of babies in the first few weeks of life. These photoshoots may be held in a studio or at the baby's home and may include posed shots of the baby alone or with parents and siblings.
  7. Maternity photoshoots: Maternity photoshoots are designed to capture images of expectant mothers during pregnancy. These photoshoots may be held in a studio or on location and may include posed shots of the mother alone or with her partner and other children.
  8. Cake smash photoshoots: Cake smash photoshoots are a popular way to celebrate a child's first birthday. These photoshoots typically involve the child sitting in front of a birthday cake and smashing it with their hands or face, while the photographer captures the mess and fun.
  9. Themed photoshoots: Themed photoshoots involve styling and posing children in a specific theme, such as a fairy tale, superhero or holiday. These photoshoots may be held in a studio or on location and may include props and costumes to help create the desired theme.

Why Do People Do Children Photography?

The uses of children photography are diverse and significant. Firstly, it serves as a means for families to document the growth and milestones of their children. These photographs often become cherished family heirlooms, preserving memories that parents can look back on with nostalgia. Additionally, children photography is commonly used for creating professional portraits that can be used for various purposes, such as family albums, holiday cards, and school yearbooks. Furthermore, children's photographers are frequently sought after for capturing special events like birthdays, graduations, and other milestones in a child's life.

Why are Children's Photographers Important?

Children's photographers are important because they help to capture and preserve the memories of children as they grow and change. Children grow and change quickly, and a good children's photographer will be able to capture the unique personality and energy of each child in a way that allows parents and families to look back on these memories and cherish them for years to come.

In addition to preserving memories, children's photographers also play a crucial role in the overall aesthetic of a child's portrait or photoshoot. A professional photographer will be able to create beautiful, timeless images that families can treasure for years to come. They will also be able to help children pose for formal shots and to capture candid moments that may be missed by friends and family.

Overall, children's photographers are an important part of capturing and preserving the memories of children as they grow and change.

Should I Hire A Professional Children's Photographer?

There are a few key factors to consider when deciding whether to hire a professional children's photographer:

  1. The importance of the event or photoshoot: If you want to have high-quality images to remember your child's milestones or special occasions, it may be worth hiring a professional children's photographer.
  2. Your budget: Professional children's photographers can be expensive, especially if you require them to work for an extended period of time or to travel to a remote location. You should consider whether you have the budget to hire a professional or whether you may need to find alternative ways to obtain the images you need.
  3. Your own skills and equipment: If you are comfortable with photography and have the necessary equipment, you may be able to take your own images of your child. However, if you are not confident in your abilities or do not have access to professional-grade equipment, it may be worth hiring a professional to ensure that you get the best possible results.

Overall, the decision to hire a professional children's photographer will depend on your specific needs and resources. If you have a significant event or milestone that you want to document, and you have the budget and resources to do so, hiring a professional photographer can be a good investment.

How Do I Choose a Children's Photographer?

Here are some tips for choosing a children's photographer:

  1. Look at portfolios: Look at the photographer's portfolio to get a sense of their style and the quality of their work. Pay attention to how they pose and interact with children, and whether they are able to capture natural, candid moments as well as formal poses.
  2. Consider experience: Look for a photographer who has experience working with children. Photographers who specialise in children's photography will have a better understanding of how to work with young children and may be more patient and flexible.
  3. Read reviews: Read reviews from previous clients to get a sense of their experience working with the photographer. Look for photographers who have positive reviews and a track record of producing high-quality images.
  4. Consider your budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend on a children's photographer. Look for photographers who offer a range of packages and pricing options to find one that fits your budget.
  5. Meet in person: If possible, meet with the photographer in person to discuss your needs and get a sense of their personality and style. This can help you to determine whether you feel comfortable working with them and whether you think they will be able to capture the type of images you are looking for.

By following these tips, you can find a children's photographer who is a good fit for your needs and budget.

  3. Prepare the child: Let the child know what to expect during the photoshoot and try to relax and have fun. Consider bringing along toys or snacks to help keep the child entertained and comfortable.
  4. Bring necessary items: Depending on the location and type of photoshoot, you may need to bring along items such as hats, scarves or props. Be sure to bring everything you need to ensure that the photoshoot goes smoothly.

Locations to do Children Photoshoot

There are many different locations that can be suitable for a children's photoshoot, including:

  1. A studio: Studios offer a controlled environment with a variety of backdrops and lighting options. This can be a good choice if you want a more formal, posed photoshoot.
  2. An outdoor location: Outdoor locations such as parks, gardens or the beach can provide a natural, scenic background for a photoshoot. This can be a good choice if you want a more candid, natural feel to the images.
  3. The child's home: Photographing a child in their own home can be a great way to capture their personality and interests. This can be especially suitable for lifestyle photoshoots or for younger children who may be more comfortable in their own space.
  4. A special event or occasion: Photographing a child at a special event or occasion, such as a birthday party or sporting event, can be a great way to capture unique and memorable images.

Ultimately, the best location for a children's photoshoot will depend on the specific needs and goals of the photoshoot. It's important to consider the type of images you want, the age and personality of the child, and any logistical considerations such as the weather or the availability of suitable locations.

What to Wear for children Photoshoot?

When choosing outfits for a children's photoshoot, there are a few things to consider:

  1. Coordinate, but don't match: It's generally a good idea to coordinate outfits rather than trying to match exactly. Choose colours that complement each other and avoid patterns that may be too distracting.
  2. Choose comfortable clothing: Children should be comfortable in their outfits, so avoid clothing that is too tight or constricting. Choose clothes that allow them to move and play freely.
  3. Consider the location: If the photoshoot will be held outside or in a natural setting, choose clothing that is appropriate for the location. Avoid clothing that may blend in too much with the surroundings (e.g., wearing all green in a green field).
  4. Accessorise: Accessories such as hats, scarves and jewellery can add interest to an outfit and help to personalise the photoshoot. Just be sure to choose items that are appropriate for the child's age and that they are comfortable wearing.
  5. Prepare for the weather: If the photoshoot will be held outdoors, be sure to dress the child in layers in case the weather changes. Bring along any necessary items such as jackets or umbrellas to ensure that the child is comfortable.

Overall, the most important thing when choosing outfits for a children's photoshoot is to choose clothing that is comfortable, appropriate for the location and that complements the child's personality and style.
