About Oh Dear Studio Singapore
Oh Dear Studio Singapore is an events provider specialising in baby celebrations, operating islandwide from their studio at 87 Kampong Bahru Road. They are KakiList-verified and hold a 5/5 rating across 750 Google reviews — a robust sample that reflects consistent client satisfaction. No ACRA registration has been confirmed for this listing, so prospective clients are encouraged to verify business registration independently before paying a deposit.
For baby full-month, 100-day, and baby shower celebrations, the typical journey begins with reaching out via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to confirm the event date and scope. From there, a theme or style consultation helps shape the package — whether that covers decor, balloon installations, photography, or a bundled full-month arrangement. Clients should clarify what is included in the quoted package versus what is available as an add-on, confirm the setup and teardown windows (especially if the event is at an HDB void deck, condo function room, or home), and discuss a wet-weather contingency plan for any outdoor elements. For popular Saturdays, booking 6–12 weeks ahead is advisable, and the deposit — typically 30–50% on signing — secures the date.
To get started, contact Oh Dear Studio Singapore via WhatsApp or phone to share your event date, expected headcount, and preferred style, and request a written package breakdown before paying any deposit.
Lock in the date with a written contract and deposit, confirm the public liability insurance and any HDB / condo / hotel venue paperwork, and put the deliverables, balance schedule, and rescheduling policy in writing.
TLDR: The positive reviews say it all and we are one of Melody's happy clients. Communication was clear and the return of the beautiful photos was quick. We love the photos! Dets: We had our furkids (1 cat and 2 dogs) with us for our family portrait, and I was initially apprehensive of how we would manage in 30 minutes. But Melody worked magic. Imagine more than 40 beautifully taken images in about 30 mins. And we got our digital photos by the next day! We liked the vibes of her studio - bright and good energy. Her enthusiasm was infectious and in no time we were relaxed and all we had to do was to follow her easy to follow cues.. Even our furkids. She was generous with her time (about 40mins+/-),, giving us ample time to have 2 sets of look with different backdrops. We also enjoyed the after photoshoot conversation. It was a time of family bonding in a beautiful space captured in photos.
Melody has photographed so many of our family milestones over the years. She was involved in all three of my children’s first birthdays which are than 10 years apart. That really speaks to how much we trust her. My children genuinely enjoy their photoshoot sessions with Melody. She knows exactly how to engage them (adults included!) and makes the entire experience fun and relaxed, even for those who are camera shy. She’s especially amazing with babies. During our recent 1-year-old shoot, she skilfully switched between different sets and combinations, capturing so many smiling shots of my little one. Within just one hour, she managed to capture various family combinations and even individual portraits of my two older children. Her efficiency and eye for detail are truly impressive. Oh Dear Studio is such a cosy space, and Melody is always so warm and welcoming. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful — precious keepsakes we will treasure for years to come. Highly recommended! 💛
We had an incredible maternity shoot with Ling at Oh Dear Studio! From the start, the studio was prompt and professional in their communication, making the booking process seamless. The studio itself is a hidden gem. It is centrally located, making it easy to get to. The abundance of soft, natural light creates such a beautiful and timeless aesthetic for the photos. As we aren't used to being in front of a camera, we really appreciated how Ling guided us through every pose. Her friendly personality immediately put us at ease, turning what could have been an awkward session into a comfortable and fun experience. The final pictures are absolutely amazing and captured this special milestone of ours perfectly. Thank you so much!
Had to book a last minute session due to some emergency and Melody was very accomodating and even opened the shop earlier to accomate to our timing. She was very professional and skillfull being able to engage our dogs to look at the camera for the shot. She was also very chill and transparent with the pricing and packages and duration of the session. Will definitely come back again!
Fun and enjoyable family photoshoot experience. Melody is highly experienced and wonderfully patient with both children and dogs, which made the session smooth and relaxed. We booked a 1-hour slot for our twins’ kindergarten graduation photos and a family shoot, and she guided us effortlessly throughout. The studio is well set up, offering several backdrops and beautiful natural light streaming in from the windows. Overall, a delightful and stress-free experience—highly recommended!

Package pricing for baby celebrations varies depending on scope — decor and balloon installations in Singapore typically run S$300–1,500, while bundled full-month or 100-day packages that include photography, decor, and printed materials can range from S$300 to S$2,000 or more depending on what is covered. Confirm in writing what is included: number of hours of coverage or installation pieces, deliverables and their turnaround timeline, setup and teardown time windows, and any travel charge for venues outside the central region. A deposit of 30–50% on signing is standard, with the balance typically due one to two weeks before the event. GST should also be confirmed upfront.

For baby full-month and 100-day celebrations, booking six to twelve weeks ahead is generally sufficient for most dates, though popular Saturdays and long weekends can fill quickly — particularly during peak months. If the event falls close to a school holiday or festive period, contact Oh Dear Studio Singapore earlier to avoid disappointment. Once you have a confirmed date, paying the deposit promptly secures it. Confirm whether the date hold is flexible if your baby's arrival shifts, and ask about the rescheduling policy — most reputable vendors allow one date change without forfeiting the deposit, provided reasonable notice is given.
The industry standard for Singapore event vendors is a 30–50% deposit on signing, which holds the date and typically covers initial planning, design, and any materials ordered ahead of the event. The balance is usually due one to two weeks before the event date. Confirm in writing what the deposit covers and under what circumstances it is refundable or transferable to a new date. For cancellations, deposits are typically non-refundable but may be transferable if the event is rescheduled with sufficient notice. Ask about the rescheduling policy specifically and whether public liability insurance is held — this is particularly relevant if the event takes place at an HDB void deck or condo function room where the venue management may require a copy of the certificate.
