what peopel say

Yuka is incredibly dedicated in her work. Our photoshoot was a particularly foggy evening ( which suddenly came on us and was not in the weather forecast)on the cliffside of the beach without any light available . Yuka was able to capture very picturesque scenes along with emotion .She had a vision of how it work to our advantage and I only think this speaks numbers on her skill level and also creativity. I am also quite a particular person when it comes to photography and Yuka listened to my thoughts and was able to bring it to life.

It was just so great! The way Yuka guided us was very professional but fun! My husband and I enjoyed the session with her very much. We printed a couple pictures from her website and we are very satisfied with their quality. The photos made us realize how happy we are in our life. We will be doing more photo shoots with her in the future and definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Yuka Schad photography!

Incredible dedication, picturesque results.

Professional guidance, joyful experience.

There aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo that Yuka captured. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angles and lightning and of course expressions, and her editing is so beautiful! 

We had maternity sessions, newborn sessions and cake smash ( 1st BD session ) for my kids and absolutely we loved all of it! She is the BEST!

Yuka took our daughter’s 6th-month pictures, and we were blown away. She is professional, helpful, efficient, and kind. She was, also, so patient with us as we helped our daughter through every emotion: happy, sad, hungry, tired. The pictures she captured are so beautiful and timeless, we will cherish them forever. We recommend her highly, and would love her to take pictures for us again.

Captured precious moments beautifully.

Yuka was introduced to me by my Japanese friend. On the day of the photoshoot, it became a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and I believe she skillfully brought out the natural and cute expressions of my children, along with her assistant. She also quickly edited my concerns on my photos, which was greatly appreciated. After returning Japan, I plan to decorate my house with the photos. Thank you very much for taking such wonderful pictures that I want to cherish forever!

I hired Yuka for a branding photo session. I'm a makeup artist. Yuka approached the photoshoot with specific considerations such as 'What impression do I want the client to have?' and 'What kind of clients do I want to attract?' On the day of the photoshoot, Yuka suggested poses, brought out the image I wanted to convey, and captured even more wonderful photos than I had imagined! Looking at the photos, I feel motivated to create a website right away, thinking about concepts and words... It feels like my dream is coming closer to reality. With children aged 5, 3, and 3 months, it may take some time for my dream to come true, but I want to use the photos you took, Yuka, as a beacon of my heart and do my best!

I couldn't be happier with my experience, and am so grateful that I had such a wonderful photographer to help capture our special moments. I loved photos of my maternity, newborn, half birthday, and 1st birthday! Yuka is the most talented photographer ever! She makes us relaxed and has a kind personality. She gave us unique and sweet ideas for each photo shoot. Highly recommended, she is the best option for family memories.

We hired Yuka to take our Anniversary photos. It was our first photo shoot with our dog, so we were a little bit nervous. But we were able to relax and enjoy it, because of her kind character. The photographs are very gentle and warm. We really love it!! We highly recommend her!
