The timing

When to book

Newborn sessions are booked by your due date, not a fixed day. Hold your spot while you’re expecting; we set the day once baby’s here.

  1. 01

    Reserve by your due date

    Reach out in your second trimester with your due date. A deposit holds your window, no exact day needed yet.

  2. 02

    Fresh 48 · the first hours

    Optional. At the hospital or home in baby’s first 48 hours, for the very first yawns and cuddles.

  3. 03

    Newborn · first 5–14 days

    The sleepy, curled-up days, in studio or at home. We confirm once you’re settled in.

  4. 04

    Milestones & family

    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 newborns here in Singapore. Four years and hundreds of first sittings in, every one still feels quietly wonderful.

My sessions are calm and never rushed. I handle your baby gently and guide you through every step. The aim is simple: photographs that feel the way your family actually felt.

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 reach out in the second trimester. You book by your due date, and we lock the day once baby’s here, ideally within their first two weeks.

Totally normal, which is why we book by due date. Your window just shifts with baby. No penalty, no stress.

Always. Every pose follows baby’s comfort, the room stays warm and calm, and we break for feeds whenever needed. Nothing is forced.

In studio or at your home for newborn and cake smash, hospital or home for Fresh 48, indoors or out for family. We sort the details when you enquire.

Your fully edited gallery is ready in 48 to 72 hours, by private Google Drive link.

A deposit secures your date; the rest is collected later. I never want photography to feel financially stressful, and trust runs both ways. No hidden costs, transport included.
