Investing in a family photoshoot in Singapore could be one of the best decisions to make for you and your family. While the benefits of shooting a family portrait at a professional photography studio may not be immediately apparent, there are many reasons why you should consider updating your family portrait. Having a family photoshoot is a great way to bring the family closer together, especially if everyone has busy schedules and has not spent quality time as a family in a long while. Moreover, hanging family portraits at home can do wonders for your child’s self-esteem and confidence, too.
So, when exactly is a good time to update your family portrait? Keep reading to find out:

Family portraits are a great way to document growth and changes in the family over the years, and serve as keepsakes that you and your family can look back on fondly in the future.
3. Before someone leaves for overseas deployment, studies or National Service

If a family member has plans to go abroad for work or studies for a couple of years, having a family portrait taken before their departure is a good way to gather the whole family and create some memories together. Some families may also choose to have a family photoshoot before a family member leaves for National Service – while they still have a full head of hair!
4. You have family visiting from abroad

If you have family visiting from abroad, take the opportunity to plan ahead for a family photoshoot. After all, chances to gather the entire family can be hard to come by, and you never know when’s the next opportunity.
5. The only photos you have with your kids are selfies
Let’s face it – selfies and portraits are not the same. If you have a habit of taking selfies, you might have realised that it is often a feat to get everyone to fit nicely within the frame; not to mention the difficulty of having everyone look and smile into the camera at the right time. When you have your family portraits professionally taken at a studio, however, there’s no need to fret about these issues – you can count on your photographer to create beautiful, timeless portraits that you and your family can reminisce fondly about in the years to come.
6. Before you bid your old home goodbye
