Seattle Kimono Photography Sessions

Wearing kimono is more than dressing in beautiful garments — it’s a celebration of heritage, artistry, and family tradition. These sessions honor Japanese culture while creating timeless portraits for your family to treasure.

ShiChiGoSan

A celebration of childhood — of who they are right now, in this fleeting season.

Dressed in traditional kimono, your child is guided with care and patience, allowing their personality to shine through. These sessions are not just about honoring ages 3, 5, and 7, but about preserving the small details you never want to forget.

Timeless portraits rooted in family, tradition, and love.


Coming Of Age

A moment to pause and honor who they are becoming.

Whether celebrating Seijin, 13 Mairi, Sweet 16, or graduation, these sessions are designed to reflect both strength and individuality. With thoughtful styling and intention, we create portraits that feel elevated, personal, and lasting.

A meaningful way to mark this transition — for them, and for you.


A chance to come together in a way that feels both meaningful and rare.

Wearing traditional kimono, your family is photographed with a focus on connection — the way you stand beside one another, the quiet interactions, the shared presence. These sessions are about more than portraits; they are about honoring your story across generations.

Timeless images to hold onto for years to come.


A space where tradition meets your story.

WAKON sessions blend the beauty of Japanese culture with a modern, understated approach. With careful attention to light, styling, and feeling, these portraits are created to feel natural, elevated, and true to you.
