I had such a fun photo session at Osaka Castle with a lovely family! Their little boy was incredibly adorable, cheerful, and kind, and we quickly became friends. He seemed a bit shy at first, but he soon started chatting with me, holding my hand as we walked, and giving the biggest, brightest smiles to the camera.

Both the parents were so kind and made me feel completely at ease during the one-hour session. At the end of the shoot, the boy gave me a letter he had prepared for me even before we met. I was truly touched by his thoughtfulness.

I’m so happy to have become friends with this bright and cheerful little boy, and capturing such wonderful family moments brought me so much joy. Please come back to Japan again—I look forward to seeing you all next time!
