I recently photographed a beautiful couple for their maternity photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park. It had been raining earlier that day, so I was a little worried. But right when our session started, the rain stopped completely. The air felt fresh and clear after the rain, and with almost no one around, it turned into the perfect setting for a relaxed and intimate photoshoot.

They brought an ultrasound photo of their baby, so we captured some lovely moments with the picture placed gently on the mother’s belly. I also photographed her softly touching her stomach, and the two of them sharing quiet, heartfelt moments together. They were incredibly calm, kind and gentle, and as I photographed them, I couldn’t help but feel they will be wonderful parents.

Every location I guided them to became one of their favorites, and they handled every posing idea I suggested beautifully. A new life coming into the world is always something to celebrate, and I truly hope their baby arrives safely and healthy. I also hope they return to Japan one day with their child.
Thank you both for such a wonderful and warm session. I really enjoyed it.
