Shogo was incredibly easy to work with, communicative, and ensured that we got the photos that we wanted. He was able to get wonderful pictures from a very active crowd (that didn't always follow direction) and was able to get great shots within a limited space.

We couldn’t be happier with our family portraits! Coordinating 14 people, including 6 kids of varying ages, is no small feat, but Shogo made it look effortless. Shogo’s patience, creativity, and ability to connect with everyone—especially the kids—were absolutely incredible. He kept the session fun and stress-free while capturing natural smiles and moments that truly reflect our family’s personality. The photos are stunning—every detail, from lighting to composition, was perfect. He managed to get shots where everyone looked great, which is no small task with such a large group! We will treasure these photos for years to come. If you’re looking for someone to beautifully capture your family, no matter how big or chaotic, this is the photographer to call. Highly recommend!

Shogo did a family and maternity shoot for us this fall season. He was an excellent, responsive communicator and always understanding for any requests or changes. He provided location recommendations and suggestions. During the shoots, he promptly arrived. He had great ideas, suggests posses and worked with our toddler and elder parents. Great experience, great photos and great value. We plan on having him for our family holiday shoot.
