Nathan 8 months old | East Bay San Francisco Children Photographer

I've been photographing L family for about 2 years now.  Our first session was when Jason, the older brother was about 9 months old, since then, I photographed L family for Jason's 1 years old, 18months old, 2 years old, maternity portraits, Nathan, younger brother's newborn, etc. It's an amazing feeling to watch them growing up from 9 month old to 2 and half months, from family of 3 to family of 4.   This session is for Nathan's 8 months old portraits!  Nathan enjoyed picking up rocks and leaves and playing with them, Jason loves water, so he got soaking wet... playing in the water. they all made such a cute portraits!  Can't wait to photograph L family again when I'm back in San Francisco next time!   Our very first session! Nathan, younger brother's newborn portraits! Nathan's 8 months old session ;-) The cutest smile!!

T Family Session at Shinjyuku Gyoen, Tokyo 新宿御苑での家族写真撮影会

What a beautiful Family!  I had so much fun photographing T Family last week at Shinjyuku Gyoen in Tokyo.  Grand Father is an old friend of my in law from about 30 years ago when they all lived in Boston.  Life is so interesting how I get to photograph T Family and now with their grandkids.  Shinjyuku Gyoen is such a beautiful park and perfect for Family Photos, gorgeous skyline of Shinjyuku, lots of trees and beautiful flowers!  Enjoy your pictures! T Family! 先週末、新宿御苑でT家族の写真撮影を行いました。T家族のおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんはアメリカにいる私の義理の両親と約30年以上も前から付き合いがあり、今回こうやって娘さん家族、お孫さんを撮影することが出来たのも何かのご縁だと思っています。新宿御苑は新宿のスカイライン、並木に奇麗な花で囲まれ家族写真の撮影には最高のロケーションでした。子供達とはゲームやシャボン玉で遊びながらとても楽しい撮影となりました!写真館でおすましして撮る写真も素敵ですが、私は、楽しい思い出がいっぱい詰まった家族愛が感じられる写真が好きです。一枚一枚に、瞬間の笑顔、そのひと時をとじ込め、ご家族の大切な思い出の記録作りをお手伝いできればと思っています。この撮影会の写真は、データのままではなく、大切な“記憶”をカタチに残し、何年後も楽しかった思い出を振り返ることが出来るようにという気持ちを込めてカスタムデザインのアルバムを作成します。素敵なアルバムになりますので、楽しみにしていて下さいね!   *まずはフォトムービーからどうぞ!
