As a family photographer with 15 years experience, one of my favourite go-to location for Family Photoshoots is the Botanic Gardens. It’s at an easily accessible central location, plenty of car parking, wheelchair-friendly plus there are lots of food option for before and after your photoshoot!

There are also lots of benches dotted throughout the park (these benches make for great photos spots too!), wash rooms are a short walk from each other. All in all, personally I find it one of the most family-friendly photoshoot venue in Singapore!


The Swan Lake Gazebo
The Swan Lake is a little spot that little children particularly enjoys.
“Can you spot the turtle?”
“Oh look, there’s the swan! She is so graceful!”
The morning light there is usually soft and creamy, perfect for dreamy family portraits. It is also a great spot for a quick water-break!


For more active little boys, I always have a (running!) race with them and this produces great candid images. Look at that little grin and happy sprint. Portraits that are priceless!

Taken approximately 9Am along Singapore Botanic Gardens, Dell Lane.
