From start to finish our experience at Studio The Vibe was excellent. We were unsure of how our photoshoot would go with two young kids (toddler and 8-month old), but the photoshoot went by very quickly and the photos came out great. They were very patient and did their best to get our kids to smile. Both the studio itself and the staff were very friendly and they work very well with young kids. We ended up purchasing the entire gallery from our shoot since all the photos turned out great! If you're looking to take studio style photos with babies or young kids, Studio The Vibe is a great option. read more

We took our baby here for both her newborn photos and her one year photos. Both sessions were amazing! We adore the newborn pictures we have, appreciated that they have props available to use, and feel both of them went above and beyond to make sure we were all very comfortable with the photos. I also appreciate the option to buy the whole gallery. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Studio The Vibe for our newborn photo session. They provided thorough instructions in advance and went the extra mile to ensure that we had a comfortable experience and a variety of great photos. Would definitely book again to capture future special occasions. read more

My wife and I had a really good experience at Studio The Vibe for our newborn shoot. Initially, I accidentally changed the session of our booking, but the lady there was super chill about it and sorted it out for us without any fuss. That was a big relief. When we got there, the place was set up with a dim, cozy vibe--perfect for helping our little guy relax and sleep. They had a bunch of cute clothes and props, so we didn't have to bring much. The lady working there is honestly amazing--she's like a baby whisperer! Our fussy boy was asleep in no time, and she handled everything with patience and care. It's at Ward Center, on the ground floor near the closed Genki. Easy to find and a nice quiet spot. We'll definitely be coming back. Would totally recommend if you want a relaxed, baby-friendly studio! read more

What a great experience with Studio The Vibe for our Maternity photo shoot! From the photographer to the assistant to the posing (we didn't know how to pose for beans) to the action shots to the head tilts to the backdrops. We could not have been happier. Sue really took care of us from as soon as we entered until we exited. She jumped on an and off the stool like a champ for a the shot we wanted and cheered us on the whole time (we really needed it, taking pics for an hour is tough!). She was always kind and direct too. We were worried about posing but then we gave her a few inspirations and she was able to get us to have the poses we wanted. Impressive ! The photographer was great. He was encouraging and professional. He knew exactly the right head tilt and facial expression for us to make to make the photos come out perfectly. We didn't really have to think, he just jumped into action. There is a small private dressing room in the studio and a couch to rest on when needed. We got to see the pictures right away and they will be professionally touching up a few of our photos we chose. (The picture attached is not one of the touched up photos, it is one we chose to be touched up.) I would recommend them and will be returning to Studio The Vibe again for family photos! read more

Super sweet and accommodating staff. Every interaction was genuine. Never once felt uncomfortable when discussing what I wanted or asking all sorts of questions as a first timer. read more

We stumbled upon Studio The Vibe while looking for a newborn photographer and loved their sample photos on the website. We decided to book a reservation which is very quick and easy. The newborn session consists of a 1 hour and 30 minute shoot with 2 back drops of your liking. You can view these on their website/instagram page. You can also bring 2 outfits for the photoshoot. For $350 you'll get to choose 5 edited pictures from the shoot to be retouched. When we arrived at the shoot, we were greeted by a sweet lady who gave us instructions before the shoot will begin. Our newborn must be fed and changed prior to the shoot. They were able to give us that time while they set up the back drop/props. Once our little one was in deep sleep, the staff changed her and put her in different positions. Our newborn was a bit fussy throughout the shoot and I applaud their professionalism and expertise in being patience and putting her back to sleep. As others have said, they are "baby whisperers". After the two selected back drops/poses were finished, there was some extra time to do another back drop which was complementary which was a plus! After the photoshoot was done, the photos were uploaded on their computer and we were able to see all the images taken. We were in awe as the photo looked incredible!! They were not even edited so I imagine the edited photos will look even better! For $250 more you can receive all the pictures from the shoot with the additional 5 edited pictures which is easily a no brainer. Overall, we had a great experience during our photoshoot at Studio The Vibe. Staff were friendly and skilled at what they do. Pricing is little on the higher end, especially if you plan to receive all the pictures but definitely worth it! Your newborn will grow up in a blink of an eye and these pictures will be memorable. read more

Our family photo session here was amazing. The staff was professional and very detailed in meeting our requests. We love how our photos turned out and will definitely be back for any future family photos! read more

So glad to have found Studio The Vibe! If you're contemplating on whether to book, this is your sign to do it. All my worries with my newborn being fussy and not cooperating went away once I saw how gentle they handled her. Booking online on their website was straight forward. On the day of the photoshoot I received a confirmation text. Lots of parking at Ward Centre so parking is the least of your worries. Studio The Vibe is located on the first floor. They have a huge sign in front so it's hard to miss. I fed my newborn less than an hour before her photoshoot and upon arriving they ask that you change your baby's diaper. They dimmed the lights and played lullaby's to put her into deep sleep. I really wasn't expecting that so I thought it was so cute. After the shoot, we were brought to the computer to pick out which photos we wanted + edited. This was so hard because I wanted them all lol! We received our newborn pictures a little over 2 weeks and they came out so cute! Definitely coming back for her 1 year photos. read more

My husband and I did one of our engagement photos at the studio and came back again, years later, to have my parents' 50th wedding anniversary photos. The photographer and his assistant made us feel at ease which made the whole session fun and not awkward. Our photos looked great, we had an amazing experience and we will definitely be back in the future. read more

This was my first time getting professional studio photos since high school and it was an absolute blast! The assistant checked me in smoothly and made feel at ease from the moment I walked into the well-air-conditioned space. I purchased the Professional Portrait Photography so I had two outfits for the shoot with both full body shots and head shots. I got photographed in a business suit first since that took the longest to put on and shoot. The photographer guided me through the poses patiently and took every shot imaginable while the assistant kept the energy up and made minor adjustments to the clothing as necessary. The second outfit was an aloha shirt and slacks, which I was able to change into in the changing room onsite. After the photo shoot, the assistant clearly explained to me the next steps, which include picking the photos to edit and finalize. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience for what can be a stressful time for the customer. I will definitely be coming back to Studio THE VIBE for my studio photo needs because not only are they great artists, but they take customer service seriously. read more

We had such an amazing experience with Studio The Vibe for our daughter's one-year photo session. The photographer was incredibly patient, kind, and clearly experienced with young children. They made the entire session feel easy and stress-free as taking photos of a crying one year old is NOT busy. The studio has a great vibe (name totally fits!), and we never felt rushed. They really took the time to capture genuine moments and sweet expressions, and the final photos were absolutely beautiful--better than we could have hoped for. If you're looking for a photographer who knows how to work with kids and delivers stunning results, Studio The Vibe is the place to go. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be returning! read more

Amazing experience! Highly recommend studio the vibe for your photography needs -- especially newborn/baby photos! I was a little hesitant that my two month old was going to be uncooperative but they are literal baby whispers and were able to soothe my baby when she got fussy; and also make her smile read more

Its my second time here and i cannot complain. I had a child who wouldn't stay still but the photographer and his partner were very nice and helpful read more

We met Sue at the baby expo while we were looking for a studio to do our baby's 100th day photos. Their photos just caught our eyes immediately. And their price was the best compared to other studios. So we're like let's give them a try! Their studio was very spacious and has a few backgrounds for us to choose. We brought different outfits with us but they also had lots of props or accessories to use if needed. After that they just knew what to do and we just sat back and watched. Photographer Jay was very professional and Sue was assisting him. They dressed the baby up and helped her with her pose. I could tell they're good with babies! They just knew how to calm my daughter down or had her look at the camera. The pictures came out really nice and we got so many compliments! Will definitely bring my daughter back! They are located at Ward Village just walk all the way to the end. It's a perfect location. The traffic at that corner is a lot less so you don't have a lot of people peeking in to see what you guys are doing. read more

Found this place on Instagram, booked a newborn photo shoot, and am so so so glad I did! I was really concerned taking my newborn out to a public studio at less than 1 week old but we were the only ones there besides the photographer and the stager. The staff were sooooo friendly and nice and really knew what they were doing! They handled my baby with so much grace and gentleness and that is so appreciated & reassuring as a new parent. They wore a mask and hand sanitized very frequently. They played gentle lullabies and they have THE CUTEST props! I'm literally so in love with all of the photos and I can't recommend this place enough!!! Prior to the shoot, they had us feed baby and then change his diaper and baby was asleep and content for the whole 1.5 hours read more

We had such a wonderful experience with our newborn photos. They were incredibly patient, gentle, and made the entire process feel calm and easy. The photos turned out beautiful and are memories we'll treasure forever. Highly recommend! read more

This is the second time I booked a session with Studio The Vibe and I would do it again. The assistant and the photographer are great at what they do and have the routine down to an art. The assistant worked so hard and put so much energy into getting my son to smile in his pictures. It paid off because the pictures look great! read more

Studio The Vibe truly lives up to its name - it's absolutely a vibe! From the aesthetics to the location, and the amazing staff, everything was wonderful. They made the entire process of taking pictures so effortless, from the easy booking to guiding us to the location, and even accommodating a last-minute change. We originally booked a family session, but since my older kids couldn't make it, we ended up doing a shoot with their baby sister and her niece instead. My grandbaby had just woken up from her nap, so she was a bit fussy, but the owner knew exactly what to do to get her to smile. She played Mrs. Rachel through the surround sound, had a variety of kids' music ready, and my granddaughter absolutely loved it! There were also plenty of props for the kids and the pictures. The experience was incredibly affordable and definitely worth every penny. Thank you again, Studio The Vibe - I can't wait to see the finished product! read more

We had a wonderful & fun photoshoot experience at THE VIBE. The staff was super friendly and accommodating with my 2 month old baby and family. We didn't feel rushed & they gave us great direction. Most importantly, we felt comfortable & the photos came out beautifully. We will definitely be coming back again! Thank you so much! read more

I stumbled across Studio The Vibe as I was doing some research online for local photographers. Found their IG and loved the aesthetics and quality of all their photos so decided to book with them. I especially liked that their site was easy to navigate and contained all the information I needed without having to reach out to anyone. They list all their prices, services, availability, and shoot information, which is extremely helpful. Once I decided to book, the process was also very quick and easy. We worked with Jay (photographer) and his assistant on shoot day. I had some photo inspo I showed them and they worked so skillfully to make sure all those shots came to life. Both were extremely professional and patient with us. I've worked with a few other photographers before but the passion and direction from Jay was unmatched. The only small quibble I have would be the lack of privacy. The studio is all glass and at the beginning of the mall entrance so lots of eyes were passing by as we were doing the shoot. However, they do have some barriers they put up for more private shots so that was much appreciated. But overall, I would highly recommend! We will definitely be recommending to our family and friends, and be back for more family shoots ourselves. :) read more

We've had previous photoshoot with our first daughter and had a great experience. We came back with our second daughter for her dohl and family photoshoot, and again we had an amazing experience. They work very seamlessly and efficiently and that's very helpful when you have two toddlers who don't have long attention spans. We'll be coming back for any future photo shoots here! read more

Review overdue. Pictures taken 6/7/22. Thank you Studio the Vibe for existing!! Lol. Been wanting to get professional pictures done with the wife since we didn't have a professional photographer when we got married/nor did we ever get any studio/nice pictures together ever since, so this is where we came, celebrating our one year of marriage!! Initially, I called expressions Pearlridge first, but they didn't have any opening that I was looking for. Called studio the vibe, and Sue, was so helpful, nice and friendly; made appt for us immediately, was available for the day I was looking at, and it was a go from there. 1/2 of cost of your total is deposit due at time of booking. They are located in ward center, where get kids city, Genki sushi side, but closer to the old kakaako kitchen side. Jay and Sue were so cool and nice. Helped us with our poses, it was fun... hot I was sweating, but Sue was fanning me lol with the thing for the flash lol nice cool studio. They do a lot of cute baby pictures, family photos, graduation pictures, and I think they even do pet photos too!! They also do both outdoor and indoor photo sessions. So glad I got my professional/edited pictures we got to do 2 outfits too. Also so glad we came here instead of expressions! If you need photography done, check out Studio the Vibe. For more information about them visit their site at www.studiothevibe.com. read more

We had such a great experience here. We did family photos and baby's 1st birthday photos. I was worried that my daughter would have a hard time, but the team was great.

100% recommend Studio The Vibe!!! We can always count on them to capture our family's beautiful moments and milestones. We've been booking with them for both our boys 1st birthdays in their traditional Korean hanbok, maternity and family photos. Jay and Sue are so patient and kind with the boys and have lotsa tricks up their sleeves to get "the shot" lol! We are always so in love with the end result and Studio the Vibe makes an otherwise stressful experience all worth it in the end as we have such beautiful photos to cherish forever. Thank you Studio the Vibe! read more

The team at Studio the Vibe was amazing! Seriously can't give them enough praise. This was our first photo shoot with our baby and any worries we may have had prior disappeared once we met Sue and Jay. They were so welcoming and professional. Both were great fun. They kept the photo session lively, and worked really hard to entertain our son so that he would smile for the camera. I will definitely return for my next photoshoot! read more

I was doing research prior to giving birth at different places to take newborn photos and the prices at Studio the Vibe is very reasonable especially for being a studio. They were very responsive as I had messaged them through Instagram to ask questions and their emails prior to the appointment were very informative. Their work is fantastic. I loved all the pics they chose and couldn't just choose 5 so I did end up buying all the images because they're priceless as babies don't stay this small forever. But truly, loved our experience at Studio the Vibe and I plan to go back for future photo shoots as well. read more

I was researching photo studios that allow dogs to be part of the family photoshoot, and I came across Studio The Vibe. I had such a great experience with them. I was worried about our pup being anxious, but the crew made her very comfortable. They were very experienced with dogs and were able to get her attention to the camera. I couldn't pick only 5 photos, so I ended up buying all of them. I would book another session with them in the future and would highly recommend to my family and friends! read more

Studio The Vibe is exactly what it is! It's the Vibe for real if you are looking for a great place with amazing staff to shoot professional studio quality photos. Me and my wife had our 2 toddler boys, and infant girl with us, and despite the difficulties with getting all the pictures taken, they were very patient with us. They also made it very fun for us and our kids, and even gave them snacks to keep their attention with taking the pictures. I highly recommend Studio The Vibe! We found the spot for all our professional family photos and can't see ourselves going anywhere else. We really enjoyed taking our Halloween Family pictures and definitely will be going back! As a matter of fact, we will be scheduling to take our Family Christmas pictures here next! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We did both baby's 100 days and family photos and we had the best experience. The team was so good with my baby which really made the experience so fun and stress free. We were able to get lots of cute and happy shots. read more

Our family had a Christmas photoshoot session for 2024. Since our baby has grown up compared to what we had last year, the photoshoot session went well and the results are great! Because we had been very satisfied with our baby's 100th day's celebration photo, we decided to have our Christmas photo session every year at Studio the Vibe and here we are! I like they introduce different Christmas backgrounds every year. While it had been a cozy and warm Christmas photo from last year, this was a cool and bright island Christmas photo for this year! We are glad that we can celebrate our Christmas with a variety of themes in the studio! There is my review written last year. read more

My wife and I booked an hour-long photo shoot with two kids (toddler and infant) and a dog. We arrived late, the toddler was running around the studio, the infant was drooling, and the dog did not want to "stay". Despite these challenges and an outfit change, the photos turned out amazing! The level of professionalism, fun, creativity, and wrangling makes Studio the Vibe a 5 out of 5! read more

We came back to Studio THE VIBE for our newborn daughter after our great experience in 2022 with our son.
