Tokyo Vacation Photographer: A Fun and Funky Family Explores Harajuku, Shibuya, and Omotesando
This family booked me for a 2 hour shoot so we could explore Omotesando, Harajuku, and Shibuya! I LOVED how FUN and OPEN to doing things! I really enjoy seeing my clients being WOWed by things in Japan- whether it’s the hip store fronts, cute pet shops, cotton candy and desserts everywhere, hall of mirrors, LINE characters, etc! I also LOVE it when my clients are very intentional with what they wear- the father and son were wearing Pokemon shirts, and it was cool that they brought some funky sunglasses to take photos with! So creative and adds so much character to the photos! Halfway during the shoot the storm clouds came and it started to POUR… They got a bit wet but we still had fun and got some great shots!
Tokyo Family Vacation Photographer: Jumping, Running, and Laughing in Shibuya
I couldn’t have asked for a more fun and silly family to photograph in Shibuya! Their energy totally matched the vibe of Shibuya- as you can see from the photos they were running and jumping around everywhere- and making silly faces all the time! I could tell that their daughter has so much fun being around her parents! #parentgoals
Tokyo Family Photographer: Tokyo Tower and Shiba Koen Family Portrait Session
I love it when families coordinate their clothes together! This family was super stylish with their outfits that had hints of red in different places.. which in turn looked so good at Shiba Koen with Tokyo Tower in the background! I love how even their 2 dogs had collars with flowers around their neck. Their son really enjoyed the planes going by and of course, playing at the playground at the end of the session (which kid doesn’t like that??)
Tokyo Family Photographer: Autumn Mini Session in Roppongi
I love how giggly this family was and how they liked to play games with one another. The sunlight going through the trees was so perfect for photos as well!
Tokyo Tourist Photographer: Exploring Shinjuku with the Dodge Family
I love exploring Tokyo! It was fun walking around Shinjuku with the Dodge family. They were visiting Tokyo for a week and wanted to get some family photos done around the city. Shinuku was the perfect place to get some urban photos around the station, shopping malls, vending machines and crowds. Then we headed toward Shinjuku Gyoen where the kids were able to run around and the family could relax more in the beautiful gardens. I hope to find more fun people to explore Japan with and photograph!
Tokyo Tourist Photographer: The Ogawa Family explores Meiji Shrine and Harajuku
Taking photos for the Ogawas was a great experience. Meiji Shrine is one of the top sites in Tokyo, and their energetic daughter enjoyed running around everywhere, exploring the area! I enjoyed chasing after her, capturing her playful attitude and different expressions. It started to rain, so we headed toward Harajuku. We ended up getting caught in the middle of a dance festival! As hectic as it was, it was amazing to see so many people dressed in bright, traditional clothing while the Ogawas enjoyed some mango shaved ice! I love capturing families enjoying a day out in Tokyo. I can’t wait to take more photos in this city!
The Doerings
I love it when families are ready to have a fun afternoon taking photos!
I had a great time with the Doerings – they enjoyed jumping and running around and doing some dance moves at the Colonial Zone. If the photos of them dancing doesn’t make you smile, then I don’t know what will, cuz they are pretty dang funny.
The Doerings have been missionaries in this country for over 10 years now, so I’m glad to have the opportunity to photography them in this country that they call their home!
The Caslers
The Casler Family is a big family. A fun family. A sweet family.
I had the wonderful opportunity to take some portrait and lifestyle photos for them. Their backyard has a tree swing. And a see-saw. The kids all have their own skateboards. They love board games. So of course we had some fun!!!
