    Digital images and artwork are selected separately after you view your gallery, so you can choose what you truly love.

  • Coming of age sessions are held at a beautiful studio in Kirkland, Washington, where Kimono Art is located.

    For these sessions, I bring and set up my studio lighting and backdrop within the space, creating a clean and timeless look that focuses on your child and this meaningful milestone.

  • Hair and makeup can be added to elevate the experience, especially for older kids or graduation sessions.
    Many families choose this to make the day feel extra special.

  • Yes, absolutely.

    While the focus is on your child, I always encourage a few images with family — these often become some of the most meaningful photographs years down the road.

  • Coming of age sessions are traditionally designed to celebrate Seijin (age 20) — a meaningful milestone in Japanese culture marking the transition into adulthood.

    These sessions are also perfect for other important stages, such as 13 Mairi, Sweet 16, and graduation.

    There’s no single “right” age — it’s about honoring a moment that feels significant for your child and your family.

  • About one week after your session, you’ll receive a proofing gallery with all of the best images, lightly edited, so you can select your favorites for your final collection.
