Hi there, I'm Yuka! I'm based in sunny San Diego California. I’m originally from Japan and I’ve been on this incredible journey as a photographer since 2015. I focus on the fine art of maternity, newborn and family photography, capturing the precious moments of life with a focus on simplicity, natural poses, and minimalistic styling.
In my late thirties, I faced infertility, miscarriages, and even a uterine cancer diagnosis during IVF. After considering a hysterectomy and feeling like I exhausted all possibilities, a miraculous natural pregnancy occurred the same month. These experiences deepened my passion for capturing maternity, newborn, and family moments. Every pregnancy is a miracle, and I eagerly anticipate embarking on this remarkable journey with you, offering support in any way I can.
I'm over-the-moon that you've discovered me, and I'd be absolutely thrilled to be your photographer. Get ready for an incredibly delightful journey capturing memories together!

FAQ
It depends on each family but usually there will be 60 or more images in your gallery.
My family sessions take place outdoors during the golden hour, which is the last hour before sunset, to capture that beautiful, soft golden light. I love scheduling sessions during this time to ensure we capture the best moments. However, if your children usually go to bed around sunset, we can schedule the session for midday. Just keep in mind that the lighting will be different from the soft golden light of sunset.
If the weather isn’t agreeable on the day of the session, I will gladly reschedule to another agreeable date.
The editing process typically takes around 2 to 3 weeks. During this time,I carefully select and retouch the best images from your session. I want to ensure that each photograph reflects our high standards of quality and artistry.
Absolutely! I offer a range of high-quality prints, albums, and other products to showcase your photographs. I will guide you through the ordering process and help you select the perfect products to display and cherish your images.
Since I have a young child, I only travel as far as Los Angeles County. Please contact me for more information.
Yes! I call them "short sessions" and I exclusively offer them during special events held a couple of times each year. I normally host a spring motherhood event and a fall family event.
