In caring for our children, there is sometimes a fine line between
watching out for them and being overly restrictive. I constantly
struggle with these notions. There is a danger of relying too much
on the deluge of information that bombards us in today’s digitized
world, instead of following our parental instincts. Societal
expectations weigh heavily down on us as well. Jean Piaget (1920)
believed that children construct their knowledge about the world
in response to experiences within their environment. What is our
role as parents in our children’s development?

Today, the pram is among the most common means of
transporting babies. The evolution of the use of prams reflects
broad cultural changes concerning urbanization, social
development and changing views of childhood and parenthood.

Why do you choose to use a pram?

Alexandria Neoh (b. 1985, Singapore) first picked up photography in 2006 while away on an overseas exchange programme. Too often, she finds that life moves at such a fast pace that it passed us by before we can fully appreciate it. It is for this reason that Alexandria Neoh founded Picspirations Photography in 2014. She has been capturing priceless and treasured moments of – and for – families, newborns and expecting parents. Besides commercial photography, she also has a keen interest in documenting her travel experiences and creating visual essays. Strongly an advocate of capturing images in camera, she hopes to use her work to inspire others to see the world through untainted lenses.
