Lifestyle Photographer in Singapore
Hi, my name is
Michelle
Families, Newborns, Events and Corporate Headshots
Hi there! I'm so glad you're here!
I'm Michelle, a Singapore-based photographer dedicated to capturing the moments that matter most. Newborns, bumps, chaotic toddlers, families who can't get everyone to look at the camera at the same time (my favourite), and professionals who've been putting off that headshot for way too long.
I'm a mom of three, married to my best friend for eleven years. My clients have nicknamed me "the certified baby whisperer", and I'm known for making families look and feel good in photos - check out my 5 star Google reviews from over 130 happy clients!
I've lived in the Middle East, Europe and the US. I ran my own studio in Madrid since 2020, and now I'm right here in Singapore. As of 2026, my family has made Singapore our home and I'm excited to work with families, new parents, growing businesses, and growing careers.
I love learning new languages because I love connecting with people and their culture. For my work, I use English and Spanish, and I promise I quite fluent in toddler-speak too. So don't worry about your little one who's decided today is not a photography day.
I switched to full time photography after ten years in the corporate and Higher Education world. When my first daughter was born, I realized I was terrified of forgetting. The tiny details. The way a newborn curls their fists. The laugh that belongs only to your kid. It's my mission to document this for all families.
Here's the thing: these moments don't wait. Babies stop being tiny. Kids stop thinking you're cool.
And that LinkedIn photo from 2019 isn't doing you any favors.
I promise it'll be fun, relaxed, and the photos will make your heart smile. Let's go!

Best Outdoor Family Photoshoot Locations in Singapore
Choose your favorite location in Singapore for your outdoor family photoshoot. I have curated a list of the most popular spots our families love.
Fort Canning Park
Sweeping staircases, tree-lined avenues, and that soft golden light that only shows up late in the afternoon. It's the closest Singapore gets to a storybook page.
Dempsey Hill
Black-and-white colonial buildings hushed under a canopy of rain trees. A quiet, elegant, and softly old-world, like stepping into a slower version of the city.
Joo Chiat
Rows of pastel Peranakan shophouses in blue, yellow, and lilac. Joo Chiat is often called Singapore's most photographed street, and it earns it. Every wall here looks like it was painted just for your family portrait.
Botanic Gardens
A UNESCO World Heritage Site cloaked in ancient rain trees and dappled light. Every photo here feels like it is meant to become a family heirloom.
Tanjong Beach (Sentosa)
Powder-white sand meeting turquoise water. It's the kind of dreamy, faraway-island feeling most people fly hours to find but just twenty minutes from home.
Mount Faber Park
Hilltop views over the harbour, half-hidden canopy walks, and a soft blue-hour light rolling in over the water — a little romantic, a little secret.
Gardens by the Bay
Choose this location for iconic backdrops and photos with movement. Open sky, room to run, and a skyline that turns molten gold at dusk. This is where little ones get to be little so you can get their best smiles.
Your Family Home
The most dreamlike backdrop is often the one already lived in — your condo or HDB block, your garden, your favorite corner catching the evening light. Quietly, unmistakably yours.
Tanjong Pagar / Duxton Hill
A row of candy-colored shophouses catching the late light — warm, joyful, and full of the kind of color that makes a family photo feel alive.
East Coast Park
Palm trees swaying, the ocean creating a dramatic backdrop with tide pulling in slow, and that warm, honeyed light drifting off the water at golden hour. It feels less like a photoshoot and more like a core memory already forming.
Marina Barrage
Wide-open lawns, kites drifting overhead, and the entire skyline stretched out at golden hour — big, breezy, and made for families who love a little drama in their photos.
MacRitchie Reservoir
A suspension bridge floating above the rainforest canopy, still water below catching the morning light — half jungle adventure, half quiet daydream, and unlike anywhere else on this list.
Love the journey. Treasure your favourite moments. Photographs for you to CHERISH FOREVER!
