Hello, I am a full-time photographer and retoucher. I have specific experience in product photography, portraits and all types of retouching. I work in the commercial photography industry as well as with individual clients for images of personal use. I love capturing special moments for people such as surprise proposals or city hall weddings or just helping bring out your best smile in a corporate headshot! I have also done a lot of product photography for many small businesses in many industries such as beauty, fashion, food, technology, jewelry and more. Some examples of the commercial photography work I have done is retouching for JB Star fine jewelry, Splits 59, Axel Arigato, Blue Nile, etc... I also work with individuals to retouch their headshots, wedding photos and family portraits by removing lint/stains on clothing, reducing age spots and wrinkles, eliminating blemishes, whitening teeth, removing flyaway hairs, adding a missing family member to a group photo and more. Please reach out with any photographic needs and I will be happy to let you know if the project is within my skillset and give you a quote. Thanks! ***Please note the hourly price reflected on my profile is an average of my rates depending what type of work I am doing. I charge different hourly rates for different types of work so it might be more or less than what is listed on my profile. I retain full ownership/usage rights on all images I create unless otherwise discussed beforehand.

👋Hey there! Please read below before you get started🫶 Before we get started, I want to make sure we're a good fit. I work with people who are TRULY building something, and those who care deeply about what they're putting out into the world. If you’ve created something thoughtful, well-made, and meaningful, we’ll get along well. I believe in the active participation and proper research for your specific brand, not posting for the sake of posting. I build clear, intentional systems that help brands grow in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. My role is to bring structure, clarity, and visual strength so your content works for you instead of draining you. And, I STRONGLY believe in focusing on organic growth. ✨But how about a little about me✨ I’m a Japanese/American fine art photographer who has worked across Japan, the U.S., Mexico, and Europe. My background in visual storytelling shapes how I approach marketing: composition, pacing, tone, and emotional impact all matter. I combine creative direction with strategy so your brand looks beautiful, and communicates clearly and converts through trust. What I Can Do For You • Build content ecosystems, not random posts • Develop a strong visual language rooted in taste and intention • Grow communities that feel connected, not just “engaged” • Create monthly strategies that reduce guesswork and save you time • Align organic content with long-term brand positioning My Japanese Twist Besides being proficient in the Japanese market, as well as language, I value precision, minimalism, and thoughtful execution. Every detail, from caption rhythm to visual balance, is considered. Support When needed, I collaborate with a small senior-level team: – Brand-focused design for cohesive visuals – Short-form video editing (Reels / TikTok) – Backend organization and scheduling I work best with founders who: • Care about quality • Value strong aesthetics and clear perspective • Want a long-term creative partner • Trust the process If you’re building something meaningful and want social media to reflect that —I'm here to help you make that happen.
