FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes! I’m happy to travel within the Tokyo area for photoshoots, including parks, neighborhoods, and popular landmarks. For locations outside of Tokyo, I’m open to travel depending on the scale and scope of the project—just reach out with the details, and we can discuss what’s possible!
What should we wear for our session?
I’ll provide you with a brief style guide and a few suggestions to help you prepare, but the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident. Aim to coordinate colors with each other—not necessarily match—and keep the season and background in mind. Soft, neutral tones often work well, but we can tailor the look based on your location and the vibe you’re going for!
How long does it take to get our photos?
Turnaround time is usually just a couple of days for most sessions. However, depending on the number of photos and the scale of the project, it may take a bit longer. I’ll always let you know what to expect upfront and keep you updated throughout the process so there are no surprises.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes! All sessions include options for digital photo purchases, and if you'd like something tangible, I also offer beautifully crafted albums and high-quality prints. These can be arranged through trusted local printers here in Tokyo to ensure great results. Just let me know what you're interested in, and I’ll walk you through the options!
