Self-Love Luxury Portraits
Proceeds benefit my Shoots-for-Charity Fund
My Why
Its been an emotional year for me with the sudden passing of my father-in-law, my grandma Sachiko’s declining health and “the grind”. I wasn’t prioritizing me, because I was too busy taking care of others or working. I want to be the best for my family, but before I can do that, I have to take care of my well-being.
I gave myself a self-love shoot earlier this month and experienced a wonderful reset. I was inspired to duplicate the bliss I experienced while my team pampered me, so I created the Self-Love Portrait Experience.
This mother’s day season I’m prioritizing the self-care experience as a reminder to my clients to take the time out for themselves.
Sessions with me start usually at $1900, but I’ve slashed the price to give you NO EXCUSE to self care. These sessions are giftable with an e-gift certificate upon request.
I also kicked-off my first ever “nominate a mom in need” campaign and found 2 deserving moms to gift this experience to. Proceeds from these sessions make it possible to gift more shoots in the future. Give back to yourself AND to the community by booking a shoot today (bonus to those that book by 4/1, see below).
Limited Edition-Light & Airy
Utilizing dried pampas & palm fronds and paper & silk flowers, this limited edition one-of-a-kind set is a boho style neutral-toned slice of paradise, situated in my natural light studio.
Set Options
Limited Edition-Blush+Grey
Sit or lie down on a luxurious blush velvet settee against a backdrop of dark grey, dried pampas branches and a neutral gold floor. This is situated in my natural light studio.
Year-Round Options
During your shoot consultation, I’ll review the year-round in-studio set options. From a blue marble wall, egg chair set, vibrant mural to modern solid backgrounds in shades of grey, black, white, beige & navy.

Yes of course! I supply a style guide with advice on what to bring. Borrowing from my curated collection is optional and you can bring your own and decide at the shoot if you want to borrow a dress.
Older generations of moms usually like to bring their own clothes.
I recommend to have the family stay in a specific color pattern, and to stray away from florals, or prints, which we’ll detail in the style guide.
