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 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 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 Family Photographer: Full Bloom at Chidorigafuchi
This family wanted to shoot at Chidorigafuchi, and there were several cherry trees that were SO UTTERLY GORGEOUS! WOW!
Tokyo Family Photographer: Sakura Sessions 2017 at Shinjuku Gyoen
Thank you to all the families who booked a SAKURA SESSION with me this year! Here are some highlights from some of the sessions I did with 5 families at Shinjuku Gyoen!
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: Autumn in Shiba Koen and Zojoji Temple
Such a small world! I know Bryan from high school, and he was in Tokyo for a family vacation. A mutual friend of ours put us in touch and he told me he was interested in photos. Such perfect timing cuz there were AUTUMN COLORS EVERYWHERE in Tokyo! (This shoot was done during the 1st week of December).
I may say this a lot, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY loved doing this shoot- The color of the leaves were gorgeous, we found a PERFECT spot in Shiba Koen park for their toddler to play in the leaves, the red leaves at Zojoji Temple were AMAZING, and this family was so fun to hang out with and catch up with! BTW if you can’t tell in the photos Mariel has an awesome hearty laugh… so great to photograph!
Bryan’s parents joined in for a few shots as well. I think it’s great to be able to have some family photos while vacationing in Tokyo!
Tokyo Family Photographer: A Winter Evening in Roppongi
Every year in winter time Roppongi has an evening “Illumination” in which the streets are shining with bright lights from trees! This family lives in this area and they really wanted to capture their winter here by taking photos along the streets of Roppongi!
Here are a few of my favorites from the session. Enjoy!
Tokyo Photographer: Family Portraits in Daikanyama
I love it when my clients choose a sentimental place to be photographed for their Portrait Session. Besides the fact that it gives me an opportunity to explore somewhere new, I love that it is meaningful for the client as well. This family chose to do photographs at the Tsutaya bookstore in Daikanyama because this area was where the mom grew up. They wanted to do a portrait session that could be used for their Japanese New Year greetings, so these were taken in the beginning of December.
Enjoy!
