Happy August!

  Happy August! I hope you're enjoying a fantastic summer! I just returned from a fun-filled Mother & Son trip to Las Vegas! We went to Back Street Boys Concert at the Sphere (absolutely incredible!), explored the breathtaking Antelope Canyon (a longtime dream of mine!), and enjoyed a delicious lunch at Giada—my favorite Food Network star chef. It was a quick 2.5-day getaway, but I loved every minute of it! My kids just started school today! My son, Leo, is a junior in high school, and my daughter, Erika, is starting middle school—a huge milestone for her! With school back in session, this is when I begin receiving lots of inquiries for Fall and Holiday Family Photo Sessions! There are so many stunning locations to shoot in the Bay Area and San Francisco. Have you ever dreamed of family portraits with the Golden Gate Bridge as your backdrop? When was the last time you updated your family photos? I will come to you and create sweet family portraits in the comfort of your home! Have grandparents visiting? That’s the perfect chance to capture a special three-generation portrait session! Every session is custom-tailored to your preferred location and timing, and spots are now open! Looking for something quick? Family Mini Sessions will be offered on select dates and locations across San Francisco and the Bay Area. These are shorter sessions held back-to-back with other families and are perfect for quick photo updates and holiday cards. Mark your calendars!…

一歳記念家族写真ーサンフランシスコ在住日本人フォトグラファー

サンフランシスコ在住、日本人フォトグラファーの愛香です。 先日、S家族のとっても大切な節目、お子さまの1歳記念の家族写真を撮影させていただきました。初めてのお誕生日は、家族にとっても特別な一日。そんな記念をサンフランシスコの美しいロケーションで残せたこと、本当に嬉しく思います。 まず向かったのはギラデリスクエア(https://www.ghirardellisq.com/)。石畳と歴史ある建物、そして海風が心地よく、観光地でありながら写真にするととても温かみのある場所です。よちよち歩きの小さな足取りに、ご両親が優しく手を差し伸べる瞬間や、ふと見せてくれた無邪気な笑顔。作り込まない自然な表情が、この場所ととてもよく合っていました。 後半は、ゴールデンゲートブリッジが見えるパークへ移動。青い空と広い芝生、そしてサンフランシスコを象徴する景色を背景に、家族でのびのびと過ごしていただきました。パパとママに抱っこされながら見上げる橋、風に揺れる髪の毛、ぎゅっと握られた小さな手。1歳という今しかない一瞬一瞬が、写真の中にしっかり刻まれていきます。 「成長したら、この写真を見せてあげたいです」 そう話してくださったご両親の言葉がとても印象的でした。 サンフランシスコでの家族の時間が、未来へつながる思い出として残りますように。 S家族のみなさま、本当にありがとうございました。 サンフランシスコでの家族写真・記念撮影は、いつでもお気軽にご相談ください📷
