Coming-of-age celebration is wonderful event of Japan. Here in Ottawa, we can celebrate by our own style ! With the photo of their own Shichigosan memory, two young Samurai commemorated another special milestone with fabulous Haori Hakama, men’s formal Kimono in this Spring with their proud parents. I am honored to be able to capture their exciting moments. Congratulations !

I had a wonderful portrait session for this beautiful young girl’s Seijinshiki, the most important Japanese tradition to celebrate the coming-of-age day. Lots of snow and freezing condition outside did not stop this family to have great time ! Cookie, their family dog, seemed enjoying the party, too. I am very happy for all !
