Family: Bailey Canyon
As the sun descended over Bailey Canyon, the whole place turned into this dreamy, golden wonderland. It was that magical time photographers call golden hour, and it gave [Family C] this amazing soft, warm glow that made them look straight out of a fairytale. My style is very journalistic, which means, I approach every session with minimal posing, and I let the family flow at their own pace. We began the session with the family of three sitting on a picnic blanket, and I captured the authentic smiles and giggles in stills. As the sun started to set, we got
Newborn: In-home session with 10-day boy
Photographing 10-day-old baby [A] at the comfort of his home was a heartwarming experience. This was a very typical experience when photographing an in-home newborn session. We started the session with photographing the full family, and ended with baby [A]’s solo portraits on the newborn photography table. The baby boy, still in his earliest days, was a bundle of pure innocence and curiosity. His tiny fingers and toes, along with his delicate features, were a delight to photograph.

Family: TreePeople at Golden Hour
About 45mins before the sun goes down for the day, we are blessed with a beautiful, golden light that makes our world glow. We call this, golden hour. Golden hour in photography is like nature’s spotlight before sunset, casting a warm, dreamy glow that makes everything look amazing. It’s that magical time when the lighting is just perfect, adding a beautiful golden touch to photos and making them extra special. We captured the {C} Family at TreePeople in Sherman Oaks during this magical hour, and we captured that time of day beautifully in our 1hr session at this beautiful location.
WELCOME
I call myself a ‘people’ photographer, specializing in capturing the personalities of people through family, newborn and event photography. I’m originally German-Japanese and was raised embracing both cultures. I was raised in Japan and in many parts of Europe, until I finally settled in Los Angeles to call it my permanent home. My love for photography started at an early age. A fun hobby eventually turned in to a passion when I found joy in taking candid photos of my friends. Naturally, my love for photography turned in to a lifestyle and I was asked to photograph people’s milestones and celebrations. And so, my photography business was born in 2010.
