She captures these unguarded, heartfelt moments that tell your family’s story. She also offers maternity and newborn photoshoots in Singapore, focusing on genuine connection and warmth.
Her photography style is natural, emotive and storytelling-driven, creating timeless images that feel genuine and deeply personal. Whether documenting a pregnancy, welcoming a newborn or simply preserving everyday family life, Aya’s sessions are designed to feel relaxed, meaningful and comfortable for everyone involved.
Families love her candid approach, which helps even camera-shy parents and energetic little ones feel at ease. Rather than focusing on stiff poses or perfect smiles, the sessions encourage connection, play and authentic interaction – resulting in photographs filled with love, joy and personality.
What to expect from a family photoshoot with Aya dela Cruz
Aya’s lifestyle family sessions are calm, playful and honest. With gentle guidance and plenty of room for natural moments to unfold, her shoots are especially ideal for newborns, young children and growing families.

The Photographer for outdoor family portraits
Hendra Lauw began his journey with photography in 2000 and, around 15 years ago, he started The Photograph, an outdoor and on-location family photography business. Along the way, he won Singapore’s Best Photography Blog Award. While Hendra has a passion for shooting outdoors, he’s just as happy to photograph families in the comfort of their home or in a studio.
As Singapore’s landscape changes, Hendra is always on the lookout for new outdoor spots to offer his clients fresh and beautiful locations. Being a husband and dad himself, he says he knows how quickly families grow or change, especially with kids. That’s why family photos are so important to him – it’s his way of helping families hold onto those precious moments before they pass so they can be cherished for years to come.
What to expect from this family photographer
Hendra says he understands that not everyone feels at ease in front of a stranger with a camera. That’s why he takes the time to get to know each family and truly appreciates the trust they give him by letting him into their personal moments. He treats their family memories as if they were his own. Through gentle guidance and thoughtful actions, he helps families feel comfortable during the photoshoot. He often says, “your family is everything, your family matters”, and he takes that trust to heart, always aiming to photograph the love and connection that make each family special.
Hendra’s top family photoshoot tip
“Sometimes, we get so caught up in thinking about what to wear, how to pose, and what we should be doing during a photo session that we forget to just be ourselves. We worry about looking perfect, and that pressure can stop us from really enjoying the moment. But the truth is, the most beautiful photos happen when we relax, let go, and just focus on being present with our loved ones. It’s not about perfection – it’s about real moments, the laughter, love and connection that make your family special. When we stop worrying about the little details, we can enjoy the experience and create memories that truly reflect who we are.”
A word from a client
“Oh my. I really thought we had wasted our time that afternoon and I felt so bad my family was so uncooperative. But the family photos turned out great. What amazing skills Hendra has!” – Ms Chung

Littleones Photography – family photographer in Singapore
Littleones Photography is led by Kate, a qualified Master Photographer with more than 20 years of professional photography experience, specialising in newborn, maternity, children and family photography in Singapore. Littleones Photography has also been recognised by Expat Living in its Best Photographer category for the past nine years.
Kate offers families a choice of studio portraits, relaxed sessions at home or outdoor photography around Singapore, allowing each session to be tailored to the age of the children, the family’s style and the kind of photographs they would most like to create. In many ways, Littleones is about one photographer, every stage of family life.
She is also an expert newborn photographer, with extensive experience working safely and confidently with babies and young children. Running Littleones for so many years means that Kate has photographed some of the same families through many different stages of life, from newborn sessions right through to children graduating from high school.
What to expect from this family photographer
Before the session, Kate provides guidance on the best location, timing, clothing and preparation so families know what to expect before the day.
A typical session is around one hour, giving enough time for different family combinations without the session feeling rushed. Newborn sessions are generally a little longer and baby-led, allowing time for whatever your baby needs.
After the session, Kate carefully edits the strongest photographs and families are invited back for a private viewing and selection appointment approximately one week later. Families can choose the photographs they love and how they would like to enjoy them. Options include high-resolution digital collections and beautifully finished pieces including classic framed portraits, bespoke collages and wall art and individually designed keepsake albums. Nothing needs to be decided before you have seen your photographs–Kate will guide you through the different options at the viewing so you choose what best suits your family and home.
Kate’s top family photoshoot tip
“Plan the session around your children, particularly when they’re little. A child who is well rested, fed and comfortable will make far more difference to your photographs than trying to squeeze the shoot into a particular time. Once the session starts, try not to repeatedly ask children to smile or look at the camera – this often has the opposite effect. Let the photographer do the engaging and directing so moments can unfold naturally, giving you genuine expressions without children feeling they have to perform.”
