Newborn & Family Photography · Singapore

Calm, safe,
soulful newborn
portraits.

studio1935 by Jolene. Over four years spent photographing Singapore’s smallest arrivals, gently and unhurried, the way the first days deserve.

Limited sessions each month · Transparent pricing, no hidden costs

A newborn is only a newborn for a fortnight. Cheeks fill out, fingers uncurl, and the impossibly small version of your baby is quietly replaced by a slightly larger one. studio1935 exists for that short, sleepy window, and for the birthdays and family years that follow it.

Why studio1935

Gentle with your baby,
honest with you

Calm, safe, soulful

Every newborn is handled slowly and safely, comfort first and the photograph second. Feeds and cuddles are part of the plan.

Four years with newborns

Experience that shows in the patience: I work to baby’s pace, never the clock, to keep the whole session stress-free.

Transparent pricing

No hidden costs, no surprise charges, no last-minute add-ons. Transport is already included. The price you see is the price.

A deposit, not full payment

A small deposit holds your date. The rest is settled later, because real life has enough on its plate and trust runs both ways.

The timing

When to book

Newborn sessions are reserved by your due date, not a fixed calendar date. You hold your place while you are still expecting, and we set the exact day once your baby arrives.

  1. 01

    Reserve by your due date

    Get in touch in your second trimester and tell me roughly when baby is due. A small deposit holds your window, no exact date needed yet.

  2. 02

    Fresh 48 · the first hours

    An optional session at the hospital or home in baby’s first 48 hours, for those very first yawns, tiny fingers and family cuddles.

  3. 03

    Newborn · first 5–14 days

    The sleepy, curled-up days, in studio or at your home. We confirm the session once you are home and settled.

  4. 04

    Milestones, cake smash & family

    Sitter sessions, first birthdays, cake smashes and family portraits as the years go on. Many families come back for each chapter.

About the studio

Hi, I’m Jolene

I’m the photographer behind studio1935, specialising in newborn photography here in Singapore. Over the past four years I have photographed hundreds of first sittings, and I still find every one quietly wonderful.

My sessions are calm, safe and never rushed. Babies are handled gently, parents are guided through every step, and the whole thing is built to feel like a soft morning rather than a performance. The aim is simple: pictures that feel the way your family actually felt.

— Jolene, studio1935

Kind words

From the families

Jolene was really good at handling my baby during the photoshoot.
Newborn session client
She did my newborn and family shoot. She’s good, we turned out nicer than we actually look!
Newborn & family client
I love everything, and how you handled our little one and guided us through the shoot. I’ll definitely tell my friends about you.

Good to know

Common questions

Most families reach out in the second trimester. You reserve by your due date, and we lock the exact day once baby has arrived, ideally within their first two weeks while they are at their sleepiest.

Completely normal, and exactly why we book by due date rather than a fixed one. Your window simply shifts with baby. No penalty, no stress.

Always. After four years with newborns, every pose is led by baby’s comfort, the space is kept warm and calm, and feeds and breaks happen whenever they are needed. Nothing is ever forced.

Newborn and cake smash sessions can be held in studio or at your home, Fresh 48 happens at the hospital or home, and family sessions can be indoors or outdoors around Singapore. We sort the details together when you enquire.

Your fully edited, colour-corrected gallery is ready within 48 to 72 hours, delivered by a private Google Drive link for easy viewing and downloading.

A small deposit secures your date and reserves my time for you. The remaining amount is only collected later, because I never want photography to feel financially stressful, and I believe trust runs both ways. Pricing is transparent with no hidden costs, and transport is included.
