Mother and daughter love

Originally, this was meant to be a generational shoot but by the time we managed to actually do the shoot, Yoko's extended family had left. Now, apparently, it isn't common practice to have on location photo shoots in Japanese culture, so I was honoured to have done this for Yoko and her daughter. The images do not really get shared so thank you Yoko for giving me permission to share a few. I think you both look great!

Yoko just wanted a simple portrait session in their new home and we found some nice light in the main bedroom...

Of course on the way to their house, I saw some grungy blue store shutters and made a mental note in my head to ask Yoko if she would follow me there at the end of the shoot to get something a bit different too. She was definitely up for the task and I love them!

So vibrant!

Thank you Yoko and Rian, you did a great job. It was a pleasure x I hope one day I can photograph your extended family from mainland! Also, thank you, Greg, for the referral!
