With Chinese New Year fast approaching, consider having a CNY family photoshoot to celebrate the special occasion. Not convinced? Keep reading to find out six important reasons why you should have a CNY family photoshoot this year.
1. Welcome the new year
Taking a family portrait during Chinese New Year is one of the best ways to ring in the new year. It signifies new beginnings and hope for a prosperous new year for the whole family.
Moreover, with pandemic restrictions in place, it can be difficult to travel or even go out for a meal as a family. Having a family photoshoot gives you the opportunity to bond and create fond memories with your family members, and is the perfect alternative to the usual CNY festivities!
2. Celebrate kinship & togetherness
A family portrait is more than just a photograph – the act of a family coming together to have a portrait taken symbolises harmony and unity. So, set aside some time for a family photoshoot this Chinese New Year to celebrate kinship and togetherness!
3. Make memories
What makes portraits so powerful is that they can immortalise that special moment, and bring you back to that exact moment in time. The act of having your family portrait taken creates fond memories that you and your family can look back on and reminisce many years later. They are also a part of your legacy and can be passed down to future generations.
4. Document growth & milestones
For families with young children, having a yearly family portrait taken during Chinese New Year is a great way to document their growth. Parents always lament that their children seem to grow up in a blink of an eye, so why not grab this opportunity to have a professional family portrait taken while they are still little?
If there has been a significant life event that took place recently, such as the birth of a baby or a wedding, taking a family portrait will be a great way to celebrate and document these milestones.
5. Update your photo wall at home
Can you remember the last time you had a professional family portrait taken? If you can’t, it’s probably time to gather your family and head to a family photo studio in Singapore. While you may have plenty of selfies with your family members on your phone, they are hardly the type of photos that you would want to frame and hang on your walls. When you get your family portrait taken by a professional photo studio like Oh Dear Studio, you can be assured that everyone will be looking their best.
6. Have your family portrait taken against a beautiful festive set-up
What sets a CNY photoshoot apart from the usual family photoshoot is that you get to have your family portrait taken against a unique festive backdrop. At Oh Dear Studio, the highlight of our 2022 Chinese New Year photoshoot set-up features two actual lion dance costumes to let you have a roaring good start to your new year.
Set in our charming Peranakan colonial shophouse filled with natural light, festive vibes and auspicious symbols, it is the perfect location for a CNY family photoshoot to kick off a prosperous new year.
