Tomato Photo's Style of Photography
Simple, Natural, Beautiful is Tomato Photo Studio’s style of shoot. All you see is the person(s), the subject.
For babies & kids photoshoots, Hart’s forte is in handling and capturing the kid’s expressions. Expressions that you see of your kids everyday but never been able to capture yourself.
For kids with family photoshoots, you’ll be looking at lots of connections, fun and lifestyle portraits in the most natural way.
Generation, graduation family shoots would lean towards either formal classic or casual lifestyle. For shoots involving more family members, tact and flexibility is key in making sure the elderly and younger families are in sync with final image expectations.

How long is the session?
Our focus is on offering you more quality images in the shortest possible time. Most kids have small attention span and many adults are happy to be in for a specific time. So 1 hour or so is what we need to create many beautiful images for your family. Should we feel that you need more time, we will do so on the day.
What kind of clothing should we bring?
Clothing should be reflection on who you are as a family. If your family prefer bright and happy colours, then that’s what you should be wearing.
However, do avoid busy pattern such as small flowery pattern, checked pattern or big bold logos and anything that is distracting.
White, Black, off-white and soft color (blue, pink, yellow, green) tend to be more timeless.

We want to ensure everyone is at their best, so talk to us if your kids are unwell. We will find a good solution that fit both of us.
What happen if there are bites/scratch/pimples on my children's face?
Scratches, bumps, bruises are part and parcel of every kid, its totally normal and we tend to just remove them during the post production stage.
What Happen if my kids are grumpy during the shoot?
With over a decade of experience in handling even the toughest kids who many parents told us that won’t smile, our clients keep coming back because they get the results, consistently, every single time.
The success of the shoot is our ultimate priority, so we tend to work together to find an alternative solution should we encounter a rare moment where kids just had their day!
