LET’S GET STARTEd

Often time, people ask me 
why Pet Photography? 
Please allow me to share my story....

BEHIND THE BRAND 

After my unique, one-of-a-kind, forever furry boy passed after 17 years together, I realized something.....

I have always wanted nothing more than to remember my furry boy - to freeze him right where he is and to memorize all the details of his face, his expressions, mannerisms, spirits, the connection between us, and how he looked at me. But I did not do that when he was around and I regret it so much. Sadly I don’t have photos of us together, I was always behind my camera. My goal is to create images that make you feel like you are looking right at your dog and vice versa and bring you back to the moments - so that when they are all grown and everything has changed, you can look back and remember them this way. I want every dog's parents to not make the same mistake as I did. 
This is how I started to photographing your pet.
So please, do yourself favor, today is the day to invest in photo session. 

There is so much beauty in the simple, silly, and chaotic moments.

Your session should be about making unforgettable memories together.

Memories

Anyone can snap a photo, but I strive to create something you’ll feel deeply, now and many years later.

Feeling

03.

It’s all in movement, touches, and interaction.

You don't have to look at the camera and smile. Instead, you will be interacting and playing with your pet.

MY APPROACH

I can genuinely say that dogs are my favorite animals on this planet. Their capacity for love is limitless, offering companionship, comfort, and unwavering loyalty. To me, they are more than just dogs; they teach invaluable lessons about empathy, forgiveness, and living in the present moment.

We're surrounded by the beautiful mighty Columbia Gorge River, and double mountains, Mt. Adam and Mt. Hood, 

I was born and raised in Japan; currently, I live in White Salmon, WA. with my husband, my son, and my dog Cleo.
