In the end of July,  I had a wonderful photo shoot opportuity for Seijinshiki sisters with their mother !  This is my first experience for dressing up two Furisode girls on the same session. In the super hot summer day, it was not ideal day for dressing up but the photos turns so gorgeous and joyful !  I am so happy for all three fabulous ladies !

Thanks for stopping by before going for Prom party. I am so fortunate to capture such a happy family !

 

In the late May this portrait session I had was for the special girls with special talents ! Rhythmic gymnastics !  During this session I was so lucky to have their coach who came with them to show how to pose beautifully. I am so thankful to have such a great opportunity to capture their sparkling moments !

Ottawa Woodwind Project is the group I am playing with for a few years now. My love for Clarinet has been stronger and stronger with this ensemble where is filled with passion for the woodwind music. Most of our concerts are small and highly interactive with audience. Our leader always makes sure the events are very informative and fun.

I am so lucky to be designated photographer for this group ! This is the photo session of most recently I had in last May.

This is The Seat Straps !  The best bassoon quartet in Ottawa. I had a lot of fun in this casual session with all these young talents in May.  Check their Facebook page for their joyous activities. They are such a great musician !

I had this wonderful photo session in this April for the newly wed couple. Her Furisdode, the long sleeve formal Kimono for women,  is originally owned by her mother and this is her first Furisode experience. Wearing the Haori Hakama, the Japanese formal clothing for men, is also her husband’s first traditional adventure.

I am very honoured to be part of this special occasion for her family.

One of my goal for my photography is to capture fabulous mature women. Kanreki in Japanese means celebrating big milestone age Sixty. Traditionally in Japan red vest and red hat should be worn and we take a photo. That traditional vest and hat … it is not at all  fashionable  … So ! I started this project for those who hate to wear old-fashioned, unstylish attire and feel miserable. Instead, you can choose your favourite thing to wear, decorate, and accompany. This lady, a friend of mine loves her lovely dog Shih Tzu, balloons, custom-made vest, and this park nearby. So we had extremely fun and casual session !

It was such a magical and wonderful evening with several other friends and dogs as assistants.
