　I had the opportunity to photograph a large family from Australia! It was a wonderful shoot to celebrate the birthday of their grandmother, who lives in Japan. Since there were so many people, we captured various types of photos, including group shots, family portraits, and photos of the children. The grandmother, who was the center of attention, was delighted and happy to have everyone gather to celebrate her birthday. Moreover, the weather was fantastic, and the flowers and trees in the park were displaying beautiful colors, making it the perfect day for the shoot.
　Interestingly, it was a reunion after several years since we last took family photos in Kyoto. However, it felt as if we hadn’t been apart for all those years because we had such a great time. When I visit Australia, I definitely want to see them again. Thank you for always providing enjoyable moments. Looking forward to your next visit to Osaka!

This time, I took family photos at Osaka Castle Park! But the main focus was on capturing birthday photos for the mother! This family was incredibly cheerful and had constant smiles on their faces. They mentioned that they loved my energetic vibes, which motivated me even more during the shoot. We were able to capture photos of the entire family as well as many individual shots of the mother, and she was really pleased with the results. It was a truly enjoyable time as we chatted about various topics throughout the shoot. The weather was great, and capturing the child running in an area with blooming cherry blossoms, as well as photos with the backdrop of fallen cherry blossoms, turned out to be fantastic. I hope you visit Japan again! Thank you and happy birthday!

The family who participated in my previous photo shoot came back to Osaka and booked another session with me! We had a two-day photo shoot, just like last time, at Osaka Castle Park and Universal Studios Japan. Since our previous meeting was such a fun shoot, I was really looking forward to seeing them again. The cherry blossom season had ended at Osaka Castle Park, but we were still able to capture photos with the late-blooming cherry blossoms. At Universal Studios Japan, we took fun pictures in the Harry Potter area and Nintendo World. They even bought me a band at the Nintendo area and we had a blast wearing hats together. It became a wonderful memory. I’m looking forward to meeting them at another location next time! I was really happy to see them again! Thank you so much!

I went to Osaka Castle Park to take proposal photos! It was a photo shoot for a group of four people, a couple and their friends, and I was surprised that the boyfriend spoke Japanese so well. I often struggle to find the right words when I speak English, so it was reassuring to have someone who could speak Japanese. The cherry blossoms at Osaka Castle Park had already fallen, and the trees had turned into beautiful green leaves. However, there was a late-blooming cherry blossom called Botanzakura, which had large flowers, and it was in full bloom, so we took many photos with that cherry blossom and Osaka Castle. We were able to take the proposal photo at the best angle, and the couple was really happy, and I also had a great time. Congratulations! Let’s meet again in Osaka!

I did an engagement photo shoot at Osaka Castle Park! The couple was absolutely lovely, full of energy and brightness, and their yellow and blue outfits suited them very well. We had lively conversations throughout the shoot, and they were smiling the whole time. Although they seemed a little nervous at first, She managed to help him relax and we were able to capture many natural-looking photos. The photos taken with the cherry blossoms in full bloom were all filled with happiness, and I felt happy too while taking them. We also took group photos with their friends who came along, and before we knew it, the one-hour shoot was over. Although the cherry blossoms have now turned into beautiful green leaves, as it was an early April photo shoot, summer is coming soon in Japan. Japanese summers can be extremely hot and humid, so I recommend morning shoots!

Inside Osaka Castle Park, there is a place called Nishinomaru Garden, which has a fantastic square where you can enjoy a panoramic view of cherry blossoms and Osaka Castle. I had a reservation for a family photoshoot there, so I went to take photos. Since it was early April, the cherry blossoms were still in full bloom. The clients were delighted to see the pink cherry blossoms. The little boy was very energetic and friendly, so I was able to take many fun photos, including family photos, individual photos, and couple photos in various poses. Since cherry blossoms bloom again next year, I am looking forward to meeting many people during that time. Thank you so much for taking may shooting!!

Osaka Castle Park is known for great place to see cherry blossoms. I did a cherry blossom photoshoot there again this year. Since it’s crowded during the day, it was a good decision to do an early morning shoot. We were able to take photos with hardly anyone around. The cherry blossoms were starting to scatter a bit, but the ones that hadn’t fallen yet were a deep pink color and beautiful. The couple I photographed were very close and friendly, and it was so enjoyable. We were laughing throughout the entire shoot. We were able to take photos not only with the cherry blossoms but also with Osaka Castle, and in the end, I received a souvenir – my favorite banana chips! I was so happy. I made new friends, and it was the best photoshoot ever! Thank you so much!!

I went on a night photography shoot for the first time in a while! The couple I worked with were very friendly, and it was a really enjoyable shoot. Their colorful outfits paired well with the neon lights of the wall art and cityscape at night, and we were able to take some beautiful and vibrant photos. It made me really happy as a Japanese person to hear them say that they loved everything about Japan, including the food and fashion, on their first visit here.
When we went to famous places like the Glico sign in Dotonbori and Hozenji Yokocho, they showed interest in various things, which made it rewarding to talk with them. Their posing skills were also professional-level, and we laughed many times while looking at the photos we took together.
Thank you so much for coming! I look forward to seeing you again someday!
