What do you get when you mix one happy family, a sunny weekend, and one of Hong Kong’s gorgeous hiking trails? A whole lot of laughter, spontaneous cuddles, and just the right amount of muddy shoes—and I loved every second of it.

This family photography session took us off the beaten path (well, kind of—we stuck to the trail!) into the lush greenery of the resevoir. With the trees as our backdrop and sunlight playing peek-a-boo through the leaves, it felt more like a nature documentary with hugs than a photo shoot.

As a family photographer in Singapore, I’m all about capturing the messy, joyful, real-life moments—wind in your hair, kids chasing butterflies, and parents sneaking kisses when no one’s looking. Outdoor sessions like this are perfect for letting your personalities shine and turning family time into frame-worthy memories.

So if you’re dreaming of family photos that feel more like an adventure and less like a chore, grab your sneakers and let’s hit the trail. Singapore has no shortage of stunning spots for us to explore—and trust me, your photo album will thank you.
