Capture the moments you might miss—
soft, artistic, and Film-like photography in Sydney
by a Japanese wedding & maternity photographer.
Do you feel uneasy in front of the camera, wondering if you even need a photographer? Deep down, you know these moments—maternity, wedding, or family milestones—truly matter. You want them remembered with a gentle, natural, and honest touch. That’s exactly what I offer with my Sydney-based photography.
If you value quiet moments and genuine emotion, you’ve found a photographer who feels the same. With 30 years as a painter and musician, my artistic eye guides every frame. Now, as a Japanese-speaking photographer in Sydney NSW, I specialise in capturing authentic, unposed wedding, maternity, and family photography for those who might be camera-shy.
You don’t have to force a smile or pose awkwardly—my approach is calm, respectful, and designed to reveal your true story. I discreetly capture the subtle glances and soft connections you didn’t even know were happening, then artfully edit each image for a unique, timeless feel.
Let your memories be remembered as they truly are—with sincerity and quiet beauty, through a lens that celebrates your every moment.
