Portrait photography studios in Singapore

Whether it’s for a family photoshoot or portrait photography for business purposes, these photography studios in Singapore will help you get that perfect shot. We think getting family portraits made as presents for the grandparents is always a great idea!

White Room Studio – relaxed and unhurried portrait photography sessions

Since 2009, White Room Studio has been photographing moments that families want to keep. It occupies the upper floors of a heritage Peranakan shophouse on River Valley Road. Tall windows and old timber floors give the photography studio light and character. More than 19,000 portrait sessions have been captured here, for families, graduates, newborns and companies. The approach is relaxed and unhurried – nobody is posed into someone they’re not, and the best frames tend to be the ones nobody was expecting.

White Room Studio has been named Tatler Best Portrait Photographer from 2017 to 2025, and voted a reader favourite by Expat Living in 2016, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026.

A word from a client on White Room Studio – photography studio in Singapore

Joann and Guy Proulx and children Hans, Luis, Archie, John, Isabella and Sophia Ann Proulx are a Filipino-American family who have lived together in Singapore since 2010

“We couldn’t be happier with how our family photos have turned out over the years! White Room Studio has become part of our family’s story. We first found them on Instagram during Joann’s search for a photographer for our family photoshoot. We liked the photos they posted and could see our family working well with the types of pictures that we liked.

At the time, Isabella was turning one, and we wanted to capture the whole family in a series of photos for the occasion. We had all the photos taken onsite at White Room Studio. The photographer was fantastic and really knew how to get the best shots of our big family, while ensuring that everyone looked good.

The shoot lasted about two hours, and we returned to the photography studio a couple of weeks later to review the photos. We were very impressed with how many great pictures came out of that first photoshoot. We picked several shots that truly captured our family at that important moment.

Since then, we’ve returned several more times to the photography studio for additional family photoshoots. We have always ended with excellent photos that have captured our growing family.

We highly recommend White Room Studio for any family or event that requires high-quality professional photos. The team truly listens to what you’re trying to capture and strives to meet your requests and expectations. Their highly professional and creative photographers are the only ones we trust with our family photo projects. In fact, we’re already counting down to our next family photoshoot with them; we can’t wait to see what they capture next!

Oh Dear Studio – photography studio in Singapore capturing a range of portraits

Housed in a conservation shophouse with signature full French-style glass windows, the Oh Dear Studio space is bathed in natural sunlight throughout the day. Vintage colonial-style furnishings and an abundance of potted plants create an old-world charm throughout the studio; together with a private rooftop, there are many spots for capturing family memories.

The photography studio is run by a mum of two with an all-female team. It has been featured in TV news coverage, and by the National Heritage Board, Singapore’s Finest Services and Tatler Singapore, among others – and by EL, of course! Customers return repeatedly for the range of photography services, which include family, maternity, newborn and couple portraits.

A client testimonial on their family photoshoot with Oh Dear Studio

Carrie, Gerald, Georgia (9) and Ethan (5) are a Singaporean-American family who booked a photoshoot in Singapore during a visit

“When we were looking for a photography studio, Oh Dear Studio was one of the top searches on the Google Business Map. We reached out to three different businesses but ultimately chose Oh Dear. This was due to Melody’s prompt and professional responses, her ability to accommodate our photography session desires, and the price.

Melody made us feel comfortable the moment we walked into her beautiful studio. She gave us a tour of the different areas and backgrounds for our shoot and asked about different poses we hoped to capture. Her studio is located in a beautiful and historical part of Singapore, which in and of itself was an architecturally stunning space to shoot in.

Melody was fantastic with our kids, especially Ethan, who was full of energy that morning. Not only did she capture formal shots but she also got us to laugh and have fun. This created natural and genuine pictures reflecting the joy we shared as a family.

We would absolutely and without hesitation recommend Oh Dear Studio!”

Family portrait photography by aMusephotographer – client testimonial

Emily and Derek are a Singaporean and American couple living in Boston for the past nine years, now with 11-month-old Zachary

“We heard about Charles when he took the wedding photos of Emily’s friend many years ago. He continued to take photos for their families in the subsequent years. So, when we returned to Singapore to see Emily’s family, we decided to get family photos with Charles.

We did our family photoshoot at Hort Park. We were all nervous about the shoot, but Charles knew how to make us feel relaxed. The photos all came out great – we love them!

We also love that Charles was so good at making Zachary smile, even though Zachary was only four months old when we got the photos taken.

We definitely recommend Charles for family portrait photography. He was easy to work with and very flexible with accommodating our requests.”
