Portrait photography for kimono, family, pets, dogs, cats, kids, Japanese, traditional, and events
Omiyamairi is Japanese tradition for celebrating a newborn with special kimono with beautiful decorations. I am thrilled to have this Omiyamairi session for this happy family ! Two of the children have already had Shichigosan kids kimono session in the past and now third one ! I am so honored to be able capture the family’s special moments together.
The baby was not very happy about this session … sorry … but hopefully in the future we can view the images together with laughter !
I had a thrilling experience in last portrait session of collaborated project with Aging Gracefully Ottawa, Arita Cafe, and Calligraphy Ottawa ! Working together to create artwork for powerful and elegant woman was truly inspiring !! Thanks for this wonderful opportunity ! I hope my images convey the passion and inspiration from all artists in this production. Special thanks to Aging Gracefully Ottawa , Arita Cafe , and Calligraphy Ottawa !
We had a wonderful Shichigosan session in early February 2022. All family celebrated together for the beautiful Japanese princess. It was so much fun to see their smile!
In this session, we introduced the brand new hair corsage created by eiko_flower_ottawa !
As many of the flowers are individually prepared, you can make many combination! and fun ! I hope these decorations will be part of the memorable captures in the future and add the glow of the beautiful models !
Preserved flowers are great for decorative items. I have ordered several new hair accessories from my friends who is the flower artist. I am looking forward to use them for photo-shooting of beautiful kimono portraits in the near future !

I had a privilege to capture another special celebration for this family. Seijinshiki in Japanese means the celebration for the youth to become coming-of-age stage. It is important tradition to dress up with Kimono to declare the achievement. I am so glad to see everyone’s happy faces ! I am very happy for all as well ! Haori Hakama style is really stunning ! Again, we were very careful about infection control and wore masks most of the time. (all the time for me) Images with masks should be laughable past soon …
In Japan, people becoming age twenty celebrate with traditional kimono in January. Here in Ottawa at CorgiMark studio, we can celebrate with kimono portraits session together with all happy family ! I am thrilled to be able to capture this youngster’s special day. I really like the creative idea of the clients for taking photos with his favorite things !
Under COVID situations, we were very careful during the session although it took place last year before semi-lock-down. I hope someday in the near future we all can laugh about the images with masks…
I feel truly honored to be able to capture this family’s milestone portraits ! All members are celebrating their achievements in year 2021. I am so happy for all. As the session took place in the last Christmas season, we tried with some festive decorations as well.
During the session I usually ask the family to start with serious, then turn to funny. I really like the funny part because they all look so happy and joyful !
I am so happy to see the family celebrated this festive season with their cute “furmily” member again at CorgiMark studio ! Everyone’s bright smile enlighten the cold December evening. Thank you for all the joy you brought !
Five years of age is special milestone in Japanese custom, Shichigosan, especially for boys. This handsome samurai celebrated in style with his happy family. I am so honored to capture the family’s bright smile ! Thanks for giving this wonderful opportunity !
