Tokyo Maternity Photographer | Yokosuka Photographer | Tokyo Photo Studio

As a mom of two, I understand so well what maternity photos mean. I regretted so much not documenting my pregnancy with my 1st, with my 2nd baby, my pregnancy was more difficult but I was determined to get some beautiful photos with my very pregnant belly. Having your maternity photos taken, especially intimate ones, are not just a regular photo session. It’s more of an experience, that you get to celebrate yourself by creating stunning portrait of yourself with a life inside of you. You will get your hair and makeup done by my very talented makeup artist and we will meet at a beautiful location or at studio with music on and we will work together to create the photos that will last forever. All the below wardrobes were provided by me.

Tokyo Family Photographer | Flower Schedule around Tokyo and Yokohama | Yokosuka

We all know late March and early April around Tokyo is all covered with cherry blossoms, but I assure you it’s not the only season that the city is covered with flowers. I will share some of my favorite season and location to have a photo shoot under the beautiful scenery during Spring time.

Mid February ~ Mid March

Plum blossoms, they are one of the very first flowers which start to bloom before Spring. If you see these flowers in bloom, it means the spring is just around the corner!

late March ~ early April

Cherry trees start to bloom at late March around Tokyo but like any pretty flowers do, they start to fall after 1 short week. But it’s also the time you can witness amazingly beautiful sakura rain and all the beautiful petals on ground.

Early April ~ mid/late April

These are also one kind of cherry blossoms called Yaezakura but they start to bloom after the most famous ones start to fall. These flowers are very big and bright pink so they are photographed beautifully.

Late April ~ early May

Ahh Wisterias..so stunningly beautiful. It’s hard to find wisterias in Tokyo but with a short trip to Yokosuka which will take around 60~90 mins from central Tokyo, there is this beautiful wisterias garden. Many of my clients traveled to this location for this beautiful scenery.

Mid June ~ Mid July

While spring comes to the end and rainy season starts these amazingly beautiful and large hydrangeas start to cover all over the city. My most favorite places to shoot with these flowers are Yokosuka and Kamakura.

Tokyo Family Photographer | Life with a newborn

Still updating last year’s session :-) 2018 was definitely the busiest year, as a photographer I have learned and grown so much. It was also the first year that I started to submit my photographs to some of very prestige international competitions. And I am glad to say my images were recognized among the best photographers globally. Today I want to share one of my newborn sessions last year. As a mother of two, I know how newborn days can be crazy with lack of sleeping. I also know while you’re feeding your baby and changing him, the newborn days are just fleeing before you realize it. I wanted to capture the beauty of this brand new baby and also the love surrounding him during this precious time.
