We wandered the paths at Hakone Gardens with the family, stopping wherever the light pooled.
Kids set the schedule on shoots like this and that is by design. We chase the energy while it is up, rest when it dips, and the parents get photographs of their family actually enjoying each other.
Somewhere down the line these photos become the ones pulled out at graduations and weddings. Hakone Gardens will look exactly like this in them.
Location: Hakone Gardens (Saratoga)
Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
