My first photo shoot of 2025 was a fun and colorful family session in Kyoto’s historic Gion area! The family rented beautiful kimonos, and I met them at the rental shop to start our session. The kids looked adorable in their outfits, and despite the chilly January weather, they had a great time exploring the streets of Gion.

We took a variety of photos—just the kids, with their parents, and with their grandmother. They loved every shot! I also had a fun time chatting with the kids about Pokémon and video games, which made the session even more enjoyable.

Capturing these happy moments in Kyoto’s traditional setting was truly special. Thank you for a wonderful session, and I hope to see you in Japan again!
