Family & Kids Photography in Singapore

White Room Studio is one of Singapore’s most awarded family photography studios. Located at 219 River Valley Road in a 1927 Peranakan shophouse, we have been photographing Singapore families since 2009 — more than 19,000 photoshoots across family portraits, multi-generational gatherings, and milestone celebrations. We are Tatler’s Best Portrait Photographer for nine consecutive years, from 2017 to 2025.

Family photoshoot sessions from $390 — multi-generation groups of up to 40 welcome.

Our 2,400 square foot natural light studio spans two floors with entirely different characters. The second floor is Peranakan and atmospheric — dark timber beams, a red wall, heritage tiles. The third floor is European and airy — a classical arch, wainscotting, tall windows, and a balcony with views of Fort Canning. Your family moves through both floors in a single session.

    A PERANAKAN SHOPHOUSE UNLIKE ANY OTHER STUDIO IN SINGAPORE

    Our studio at 219 River Valley Road offers what no other photography studio in Singapore can: two entirely different floors of natural light, in a heritage shophouse built in 1927.

    The second floor is warm and Peranakan in character — dark timber, heritage tiles, a red wall. The third floor is European and luminous — the classical arch, wainscotting, high ceilings, the balcony facing Fort Canning, natural light all day. Your family uses both floors in a single session. Most families are surprised by how different the photographs look from each space.

    Before your session, unwind in our dedicated guest lounge. Complimentary coffee, tea, and Wi-Fi. A changing room and vanity space. Everything is ready when you arrive.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      White Room Studio at 219 River Valley Road is one of Singapore’s most awarded family photography studios. Founded in 2009, we have completed more than 19,000 photoshoots for Singapore families and have been named Tatler’s Best Portrait Photographer for nine consecutive years, 2017 to 2025. Our 2,400 square foot natural light studio is housed in a 1927 Peranakan shophouse with two entirely different floors.

      Every session includes pre-shoot outfit guidance, creative direction, full use of both floors of our natural light studio at 219 River Valley Road, and a curated selection session after the shoot to choose your favourite images. Complimentary coffee, tea, and Wi-Fi are provided in our dedicated guest lounge.

      Most family sessions run around one and a half to two hours. This allows time to move through both floors of the studio, try different groupings, and capture candid moments alongside portraits.

      Yes. Our 2,400 square foot studio regularly hosts families of up to 40 people. We have extensive experience photographing multi-generational families including grandparents, adult children, toddlers, and newborns in the same session.

      We send personalised outfit guidance before every session. In general, coordinated colours work well — not matching outfits, but complementary tones. Comfortable clothing that reflects who your family actually is photographs better than formal attire. We have a changing room and vanity space at the studio.

      Yes. We have photographed thousands of sessions with babies, toddlers, and young children. Our photographers are experienced at working at a child’s pace — patient, playful, and trained to capture genuine expressions rather than posed smiles.

      White Room Studio is at 219 River Valley Road, Level 2 and 3, Singapore 238277. We are a five-minute walk from Fort Canning MRT and accessible by bus along River Valley Road. Parking is available at UE Square and along River Valley Road.

      Family photoshoot sessions start from $390. Packages vary depending on session length and the products you choose — <a href=”https://wa.me/6588744197″>WhatsApp us at +65 8874 4197</a> for the full rate card and our team will walk you through the options with no pressure.

      Our primary sessions take place at our 219 River Valley Road studio. We also photograph on the studio’s balcony, which overlooks Fort Canning’s greenery and is a favourite location for natural light family portraits. Please contact us to discuss outdoor options.

      Yes. Many families combine a family portrait session with a graduation portrait session on the same day. This is one of our most popular bookings — the graduate in gown with parents and siblings, followed by a relaxed family portrait across both floors. See our <a href=”https://www.whiteroomstudio.com.sg/gallery/graduation-photography/”>graduation photography</a> page for more details.

      Our studio is on Level 2 of a conserved 1927 Peranakan shophouse, reached by a flight of stairs — there is no lift, so we’re unfortunately not wheelchair-accessible. Most grandparents manage the stairs comfortably at their own pace, and our team is always at hand to assist. Once upstairs, everything is on one level per floor.

      Yes — comfort is something we’ve refined over 17 years of multi-generation shoots. The studio is fully air-conditioned, with several seating areas across both floors — including a lounge and our collection area — where grandparents can rest between shots. Our photographers pace the session around the family, never the clock. Many of our most treasured portraits are three-generation photographs with grandparents at the centre.

      Up to 40 — our 2,400 sq ft across two floors of natural-light spaces comfortably fits large extended families, with different backdrops (the Peranakan corner, European archway, classic windows) for varied group combinations.

      Yes — there are two vanity rooms, one on each floor, for hair and makeup touch-ups and outfit changes. During the session, you’ll also review selected images on a large screen with our creative consultant, so you know exactly what you’re getting before you leave.

      Celebrating Every Stage of Family Life

      A family takes on a different shape from the moment a couple chooses to have children. Taking the time to take family photos is one way of appreciating and remembering the changing family dynamics. Family portraiture is not just popular, but it is also significant since it is a documentation of growth. We’ll happily ensure you have awesome images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

      Life is a cycle, and a special bond will always exist between a child and grandparent. Taking the time to document the visible affection between your children and their grandparents will help you keep their memory alive. Our photographers notice the little things, such as the twinkle in the eye of a grandparent watching his grandchild, or the fascination in the face of a child listening to his grandparents, and we make sure we capture every moment.

      Whether you have a newborn, toddlers, teens or adult children, the shots vary in appearance and depth. Our family photographers observe the tone, mood, and action radiating from the members of the family when determining the poses. We understand that the shots are important for the entire family for a long time to come, and so we make sure the moment and images count!
