Every time I enter a new stage in life, I have Yuka take photos of me, whether it's for my wedding, maternity, newborn, or sitter photos, and all of those moments captured are truly treasures. When I had my photo taken for the first time, I was very nervous because I

Before returning to Japan from San Diego, we had a family photo session. We have a 2-year-old and a 4-month-old, and I was worried about getting smiling photos of my older son, who is shy. However, thanks to Yuka’s friendly and gentle demeanor, we were able to get
