During my photography journey in Osaka Castle Park, I had the pleasure of meeting a truly wonderful couple. This session was not only about capturing beautiful moments—it felt like making new friends. From the very beginning, when I introduced myself, they welcomed me with such warmth and friendliness that I immediately felt at ease.

As we walked through the park, we talked about Japan, their home country, favorite foods, and cultural differences. They even shared thoughtful advice about my photography business, which meant so much to me. What made this shoot even more special was that they are expecting a baby. They brought along their ultrasound photo, and I was able to capture some sweet maternity-style shots that celebrated this exciting chapter in their lives.

After the shoot, they surprised me again by sending a short behind-the-scenes video of me at work, which I was able to share on Instagram. It was such a kind gesture and a beautiful memory to keep. But their kindness didn’t stop there. A few weeks later, a package arrived from them containing pancake mix and macadamia nut sauce—because I had once mentioned how much I love it! I was so touched that I immediately messaged them to share my gratitude.

This couple’s warmth and generosity turned an ordinary photoshoot into an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait for the day they return to Japan with their baby so we can create even more memories together.
