"Joy is not the absence of loss;
It's knowing that all will be lost
but not today."These words were written by the amazing @Rachelfergusonpoet who gave us the pleasure of letting us take her portrait. As a poet, Rachel's ability to evoke emotion and spark imagination is truly remarkable she transcends boundaries and connects hearts through her writing.Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your poetic spirit with me. Your words inspire, your presence enchants, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to capture the essence of your poetic soul. It truly was a collaboration of creativity and expression.---

There's something truly magical about family—the laughter, the love, the bond that weaves us together through life's ups and down. Every year, this family gets their protraits done under the cherry blossoms at Arisugawa Park and it is beautiful to see them grow together. 👪Whether you're celebrating a milestone, preserving a precious memory, or simply embracing the joy of togetherness, family photoshoots aren't just about posing for the camera—they're about creating an experience that you'll cherish for years to come.Let us know in the comments what are some fun outdoor family activities you love!💕—

A mother is a lot of things—a caretaker, friend, confidant, and so much more.It encompasses a lot of roles that continually grow with time. A mother is consistently and tirelessly working to provide the best for their family, no matter their shape or size. Motherhood is undeniably one of the toughest jobs, but their love and sacrifices make it all worthwhile.Being in Japan can be tough because of the separation from my mother, however, her lessons are enduring and keep me going. The memories we have forged together are something that travels distance, so she is always with me. I hope we take the moment to say thank you to the people we call mothers who have taken the time to be there even when they didn't need to be.Have a wonderful Mother's Day! 💐💖---

During a shoot, it's crucial for me to ensure my clients feel at ease and fully immersed in the experience. Guiding them through posing plays a big role in this process. Some individuals find it easier to understand through demonstration, which creates a perfect opportunity to connect with them and ensure we're aligned every step of the way.---

Creativity🤝CollaborationLately, I've been striving to give myself more opportunities to be creative, allowing my clients to experience a sense of freedom in front of the camera. Working with chiffon was a challenging material to tame. However, I was determined to elevate the photoshoot and capture her in a way that would leave us both in awe. After a few attempts, I knew we had created something special, and I couldn't wait to share the art we had crafted together.This experience reminded me of the importance of collaboration between the model and the photography team. As I reflect on the evolution of this 40 over 40 project, I'm filled with gratitude, amazement, and honor to have worked with such incredible women. 💖---

Trust the process!Sometimes, posing can feel a bit awkward or silly and that's ok! Don't hesitate to ask the photographer if it's okay to see the photos. Communicate how you're feeling, and let them guide you through it. Although it may feel daunting, we want you to feel confident during the shoot, with a good feeling and maybe even some tips or tricks to help you pose for any photos you take!Ensuring that our clients feel relaxed, or at least better than when they started, is part of my mission to help everyone feel more confident and even eager to take photos.---

What brings a smile to your face? 😁Jalani was such a joy to photograph. I was looking for someone with red hair and freckles for a personal shoot and she reached out to us as model. I don't know where this idea of people hating freckles came from but I for one am a fan! Especially if it gives people character. 😊This portrait really just captured a smile that radiated throughout the studio! It reminded me that happiness isn't just reserved for special occasions; it's woven into the fabric of our everyday lives, waiting to be embraced and cherished. 💖Embrace your smile, embrace the small things that bring you jou! Feel free to share what makes you smile in the comments below!---
