The Story Behind the First Bless Shoot: Ancient Traditions, Modern Joy at Tinytodds Studio

Long before birthday cakes and party balloons, Chinese families celebrated their baby’s first year with time-honoured blessings. Today, TinyTodds Studio Singapore revives that beautiful heritage through our First Bless Shoot (抓周摄影) — a modern, picture-perfect way to honour tradition while capturing joy.

Each session is a blend of culture, laughter, and timeless photography, where every prop carries meaning and every frame radiates fortune.

The First Grab Ceremony places meaningful objects before your little one — a book, stethoscope, microphone, or abacus.

Whatever your baby grabs first symbolises a future calling: the scholar, the doctor, the artist. It’s part play, part prophecy, and 100 percent adorable. Our photographers capture every curious glance and delighted giggle so you’ll treasure the moment forever.

Passing through the Gate of Wisdom (聪明门) and gently beating the Wisdom Drum (聪明鼓) symbolise intelligence, focus, and creativity. These rituals bless your baby with a curious mind and fearless heart — qualities every parent hopes to nurture. 

In the calm, flash-free studio, we transform this ceremony into soft, radiant portraits full of serenity and grace.

From stepping on Ang Ku Kueh (长寿) to holding red eggs (喜庆) and exploring the Five Blessings Plate, each gesture carries heartfelt meaning — longevity, health, diligence, and peace. 

Our creative team styles every detail to feel timeless yet fresh, creating keepsakes worthy of family albums and home displays.

At TinyTodds, tradition meets artistry. We capture the essence of each ritual with our Photoshoot Through Play™ approach — where your baby learns, explores, and smiles naturally.
