What’s it like to work with us?
“From the first contact to the finished product, Sharon had been approachable and responsive. You can tell she takes pride in her work and enjoys what she does. This had been a dream of mine and a gift I was going to gift myself for my 30th, although a few years late (thanks to Covid) but Sharon made my dreams a reality. Sharon made the shoot friendly and relaxing, lots of encouragement, coaching and praises. This was exactly what I needed as I find it awkward to pose when I’m facing a camera. She also asks for your opinion and preferences to tailor the experience. I am so pleased with the result and cannot wait to return to Singapore for another shoot. I highly recommend this as a must-do experience when in Singapore!”

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a hanfu photoshoot with Dressed up Dreams, and it was truly exceptional. From start to finish, Sharon displayed an impressive level of professionalism and expertise in her craft; her passion is inspiring and shines through in her work. Sharon's extensive knowledge of hanfu and different eras added a unique depth to the shoot. I was initially nervous about posing but throughout the shoot, Sharon provided clear and easy-to-understand posing instructions, making my entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Her guidance and encouragement made me feel comfortable and confident, and I really appreciate her artistic vision and attention to detail!”

You'll Love This Experience If...
✓ You value high-resolution, professionally retouched images—refined in detail, not just filtered for social media.
✓ You want photographs made to be printed, framed, and lived with, not only posted and forgotten.
✓ You prefer clear guidance throughout the shoot, and enjoy a calm, thoughtful process rather than quick snapshots.
✓ You notice the finer details—from how fabric moves, to how styling and composition come together in harmony.

What Makes Us Different?
01.
Your story, not a preset package
Perhaps a particular colour brings out your complexion. Perhaps a certain silhouette complements your proportions. Perhaps you're drawn to something quiet and understated rather than elaborate and dramatic. Your hanfu, hairstyle, makeup, accessories, lighting and even the set can be adapted to suit you.
For more elaborate concepts, we can also build or adapt sets specifically for your shoot — creating a visual world around your ideas rather than asking you to choose from a fixed selection of themes.
02.
One photographer from beginning to end
Your photographer is involved throughout the entire process — from the initial consultation, to styling, shooting and editing. The result is a consistent creative style, and a more personal experience from start to finish.
03.
Carefully curated outfit collection
We thoughtfully source our collection from legitimate hanfu brands known for quality fabrics, design, and craftsmanship, rather than cheaper mass-produced pieces. Our accessories are selected for their cultural significance as well as their beauty.
Our aim isn't simply to dress you in hanfu, but to help you appreciate the history and artistry behind each item of dress.
04.
A Private Experience
When you book with us, the studio is yours.
We only host one group at a time, so you won't be sharing the space with other clients or waiting for your turn while another shoot takes place.

“As it was my first time doing a photoshoot, I wasn't really sure what to expect or do, but Sharon was really patient and helped me with the hanfu and the poses! The makeup and hair done was also very detailed and it was a very pleasant process from the booking to the shoot itself! Will definitely try other packages when I get the chance!”

“I’ve always wanted to have a Hanfu photoshoot with my girl and my dream finally came true when I engaged Sharon’s service! From recommending a suitable style, to getting the perfect matching Hanfu, to styling us up beautifully and creating the final products artistically, Sharon has paid attention to every detail throughout the whole process and shown her great passion in Hanfu photoshoot.”
— MAGGIE
“I had a great time with photographer Sharon and makeup artist Yang Hui. The two were extremely professional and I learnt a lot also about Chinese history and I learnt a lot (including new makeup techniques) in the consultation and makeup process. The shoot itself went very smoothly and both Sharon and Yang Hui were very encouraging throughout so that I felt less nervous.”
