I care about creating images that tell something about you
Why portrait?
Our portraits have evolved to our current style through the loss of multiple family members, both older and younger. After that experience, I wanted to create portraits that celebrate who we are in this moment. Each of us goes through a different journey, and none of our journeys are entirely easy. My goal is to create images to celebrate you as who you are today so you (and your family) can enjoy looking back and remembering..
I was born and raised in Japan until I moved to the United States in 2005. Oregon was the first state I came to in this country, and I still love exploring and learning new things in this gorgeous place.
I specialize in portraits and creating images that involve people. I used to create very stylized fashion images. Then, during COVID, we had our first child and we also lost many family members unexpectedly. Looking back at the photos of them (some I took and some other family members took), I treasure every photo that reminds me of them.
This experience changed my perspective on photography. I still plan each photoshoot in detail as if I’m taking commercial photos. However, my goal for each photoshoot shifted from simply visually gorgeous photos to the photos that reflect the authentic version of each subject. Photos that could mean something to them and their family.
If you are looking for images that define you to keep as your legacy, I promise to work tirelessly to create images that you can be proud of.
