Straight Photography


One night he told me that he had come across the word "Straight Photography." He was so excited and said, "This is what I want to express as a photographer!"
So funny because, to me, Norihito has long been a straight photographer from the very beginning of his photography career.

Yuushin is an ordinary and energetic 6-year-old boy. He only have a disability in his leg, where one bone is missing by nature. He bears pain that is sometimes really severe from the medical treatment in his left leg. He is always cheerful that we sometimes forget about his leg.

A child gives us power and strength.

April 25, 2016 "Shinto Ceremony for an old well in which the god of water had long been living"

Today the priest of our family's shrine came to my new house and gave a prayer for an old well, which had long been left unused and once used by the former owner of this house. We Japanese believe that a god of water is living in every well and we have no plan of using this well, so we asked the god of water to go back to his home shrine with the help of the priest's prayer.

April 23, 2016 "Siblings"

Good morning from Kitakyushu, Japan! In Japan most of the schools, kindergarten, and businesses start their year in April, so we are now in the most fresh and exciting season of the year.

Today's image is a siblings portrait, Kurumi and Yushin. On the day this picture was shot they attended the entrance ceremony at their elementary school because Yushin just started his school life in this month. (In Japan we have entrance ceremony when entering school) This family is really close that they make us happy whenever we meet on the photoshoots.

Our family is also starting the new life in a new house next month. And our photo studio and cafe will open in this summer! Norihito is now preparing our new website. Hopefully we can show you some pics of our studio under construction in the next post, I suppose.

March 28, 2016 "Hinari's 1-year-old anniversary"


Good morning from Kitakyushu. The flavour of Spring is everywhere these days, and the door of April is just around the corner. Cherry blossoms will hopefully be in full bloom in a week or so!

Today's picture is from a family photoshoot in the end of January. I feel like they are so close as my relatives because we have experienced photoshoots on their wedding day and their baby, Hinari's 100 days anniversary. We are very happy to be able to witness and capture this family's precious moments.



Hinari is 15 month old at the time in this picture. Kids around this age never stay still!!
They like toddling around and exploring the new world. We take time on the photoshoot especially the one with babies and toddlers. Don't worry about it and feel free to inquire about the family photoshoot! Thank you.

From his recent work. A cut from a wedding photoshoot at the shrine last weekend. Norihito seems to be cutting his way to the new stage of his photography. He’s always like this, seeking a better way to capture the moment and scene. He never be satisfied with his works, believing he could do it better. That’s why I support him with all my might and I believe he’ll be one of the top photographer.

Our family team are now on a big turning point. Every single day is a thrilling and exciting day that something important happens and we have to make a decision. Hopefully we’re reaching our goal (and the starting point at the same time) in the near future. Spring has come!

March 4, 2016 "The Last Breast-Feeding"


Today's picture is very special to me. The moment right after our daughter's last breast-feeding. When I found this image in Norihito's HDD, I couldn't help crying.

Breast-feeding is very special to mother and baby, and to stop breast-feeding is the first step for a baby to be independent. Only 11-months-old baby can't be independent, of course! But at least it's a tiny small step to be a bigger girl. This picture reminds me of my baby's face just before she let my breast off, and really makes me cry.

Good morning from Kitakyushu! The first image in this month is this portrait picture. He is my Facebook friend. We have known each other for four years and it was the first time to meet face to face when 4 of our family member visited his house a few days ago.

I could visit him earlier since where I live is not very far from his place. About a month ago or so I learned that he's got a serious illness, and I decided to see him very soon with my family.
He was just the person I have imaged! An energetic, open-minded, lighthearted, and smart gentleman. And I love his wife because she is so charming. I wish I could be like her in the future but my husband said "impossible" about it XD!

Good evening. Tonight I'll share this picture taken last month. I'm holding my daughter by a beautiful christmas tree. My daughter looked fascinated by the shining ornament hung on the tree. Yes, all the girls love the glitter!!

I recall how our family's everyday life was this time last year. Our baby girl was just born and I couldn't do anything but taking care of our baby, so my husband did household chores after work until 1 or 2am. We were all tired and sleepy everyday.

Now we live everyday life smiling in peace. I got used to living with two kids, and they have grown up! In the past year I didn't have time to sit down in front of PC and do some work, but recently I have a couple of hours to do my work with a cup of coffee in my hand!

January 9, 2016 "Happy New Year!"



The new year has started and all the kids are back from the Winter vacation to school now.

As my husband mentioned on his new year Facebook post, we will restart our family business in the forthcoming summer. We are so excited that we will be able to launch our unique events and photoshoots.

Today's picture is the one we shot for our new year's card. I like it very much because we are in the midst of shining sunlight and I feel like it's a sign of glorious future for our family

We hope you will have a great year!
