The Singapore Jewel Changi Airport is a beautiful, large airy space where nature meets retail. With a stunning indoor waterfall and lush greenery, surrounded by world-class retails and eateries; it is one of the best ‘outdoor’ location for Family Photoshoot in Singapore! Specially with the little ones in tow!
p/s Do note for current phase3, masks are still required to be wore when not photographing.
1, It is an outdoor air-conditioned space
We all know natural light is best for photo-shoots. Alas few of us, especially young children, can stand the warm and humid outdoor weather. Well, a photo shoot at Jewel is not only cool (literally cooling!), but there are plenty of natural greenery as well! The air there is really crisp and clean too. A total game changer!
2, Natural lit all day round
Ever had your photographer tell you that the best time for outdoor shoots are usually early mornings or late evenings? This rule, while totally true, doesn’t actually “apply” to Changi Jewel! The skylights (aka natural light) are lit and bright all day long. Fancy a shoot right at Noon? Sure, why not?
Inside Tip: Having said that, do choose a timing when the venue less crowded. I find that weekday mornings tend to be less crowded. Also, avoid weekends!
3, Surrounded by eateries and retails
Feeling peckish during mid-shoot or finding the little one needing a snack break? Changi Jewel has over 300 retail and dining outlets, so you will be spoilt for choice! Grab a Bubble tea in the middle of the photo-shoot and share it with your little one. It makes for a really adorable photograph as well! Restrooms are aplenty and benches are always nearby for you to rest your tired feet, because everyone knows keeping the whole family happy makes for a great photo-op.
Inside Tip: Book a staycation at Jewel’s Yotel with your family, and enjoy the rest of your day in bliss!
Bonus Pro-Tips for an awesome outdoor family photoshoot
- Schedule a timing when your little one is alert and happy – preferably early in the morning
- Have snacks ready and be on standby mode for ‘negotiations’. Try to prepare easy-to-eat snacks like biscuits or packet milk. You don’t want chocolate stains on their teeth or cheeks!
- Coordinate your outfits! It’s pretty cooling in Changi Jewel, so if you fancy jackets or suits, go ahead! You can even bring props like suitcases to up the ‘travel look’!
- Lastly get ready to goof around! Little children lose interest in picture-taking very fast, so get ready to play and run after them (really play with them!) to get the brightest smiles.
