Tokyo Disney Proposal Photographer: A Surprise Engagement at Tokyo Disneyland!
She TRULY was Surprised! Scroll below to see all her joyful expressions in front of the perfect backdrop of Tokyo Disney!
This was one of my favorite proposal sessions ever- the expressions on her face are PRICELESS. You can feel the joy radiating out of the 2 of them! I also loved that they are both passionate dancers- it truly showed in the photos at the end! Congrats again to Kohsuke and Alex!
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 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 Lifestyle Photographer: Newborn Twins
I recently had the honor of photographing twin newborn boys! I loved being able to photograph a lifestyle session in the comfort of the family’s own home. The grandparents were in town visiting so it also provided a great opportunity to get them in the photos as well. One of the best things about doing this shoot was seeing the tremendous love this family has for one another. The grandparents flew from quite far to meet these cute little boys for the SECOND time… they were so proud! I loved seeing the affection everyone had for another and hearing stories of sentimental objects that were in the room!
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 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!!!
Gabi's 4th Peppa Pig Party!
Happy Birthday to Gabi!
I had the opportunity to take photos for this little girl’s “Frozen” birthday party last year and it was great to shoot her party this year as well!
I LOVE taking photos of little kids and their birthday parties. There is so much going on, so many expressions, so much excitement, so much JOY on their faces! And you can also see the LOVE between the parents and their little girl 🙂
One cool thing about children’s parties in the Dominican Republic is that there are often “emcees” that are in charge of children’s games. I think that is pretty neat. So at this party the “emcees” got the kids to dance and compete in games.. you can tell that the kids had A BLAST!
This year’s theme was PEPPA PIG, and little Gabi was surprised to see Peppa Pig show up at her party!
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
