Tokyo Vacation Photographer: A Cherry Blossom Family Photo Session
Probably the prettiest day I photographed this year for sakura!!!! This family came to Tokyo take their photos with their new baby. The perfect, lighting, and bloom was PERFECT!

Tokyo Family and Lifestyle Photographer: Sumida Park and Traditional Streets of Asakusa
This family booked a 3 hour photoshoot in Asakusa with me! So glad they booked a long shoot considering all the area we were trying to cover, plus outfit changes. They were SUCH a fun family- they loved to dance, dab, chase, make silly faces, eat ice cream… etc. I hope these photos show just how fun they were to be around and captures what our day together was like!

Tokyo Lifestyle Photographer: A Day in the Life of the Wan Family
I have to say, I really enjoy when a client chooses meaningful places to do a photo session at! For this family photo session, it was more of a “lifestyle” than a “portrait” session in that we explored their neighborhood, stopping by a 7-11, a little park, a traditional house, a restaurant… we basically just walked around and had some fun!
Why do I like these photos so much? I feel like these photos really show a story- A day in the life of this beautiful family.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed photographing this bright, silly, and fun family!

Tokyo Family Photographer: Mini Portrait Session in Autumn
Last week I did an Autumn mini session with this lovely family who had adorable twin boys!

The Simplicianos
Our friends, the Simplicianos,were about to leave Santo Domingo and wanted some family photos before they left. Their daughter, Sachiko, is a sweet spunky girl with lots of energy! We had a great time in the Colonial Zone. One of my favorite moments was when the monks and nuns were walking outside one of the churches and made it into the shots. Best wishes, Jeff, Traci, and Sachiko on your future adventures in Europe!

The Bernotavicius Family
It was amazing to shoot a family session at this 500 year old Fort.

Indoors with the Woonacotts
I believe there is something special to be found in the routine of “everyday life.” That’s why I enjoy taking lifestyle photos so much. It may seem like “routine” photos now, but in a few years it will show how that it really was just for a season… a very special season. I’m so glad that this family invited me into their home to photograph this special season of toddlerhood for their son! I enjoyed taking photos of anything that they were doing… nothing staged, and basically just whatever little W wanted to do!
(Note: There are a lot of black & white photos in this blog post. I often give clients the same photos in both b&w and color as well.)

Silje wanted to do an afternoon session in Zona Colonial since they are leaving Santo Domingo soon. I love taking photos there, and so we took some photos in the Plaza Duarte area. The little ones had so much energy, so it was fun taking photos of them jumping and running around! Pretty soon, a storm came in and it started raining. But I didn’t mind. I loved taking photos of the kids enjoying the rain. Luckily, we had a tiny little umbrella for the family to squeeze under!
