Fun Fall Family Photo Session in Portland

misohime — Sun, 06 Sep 2020 23:17:30 +0000

How was your summer 2020? Seems like an Autumn breeze is starting these days in Portland, isn’t it? I am sure we still have a few more summer days until the rainy season comes, and I would like to remind you that holiday season would come shortly. Here are some ideas for a fun fall family session in Portland.

Book your family session early enough!

Fall family session is always fun for me to capture. Especially, if we can hit a day with no rain with colorful leaves, it is so gorgeous in Portland. I have been having my photography business a long time and there are only a few perfect days in fall every year in Portland. If you are hoping to have a session on a weekend, there are even less perfect days. Someone might say there are a lot of beautiful days in fall in Portland. Fall weather in Portland is always so unpredictable. It changes so quickly! Trust me, I deal with weather every year for fall photo sessions 🙂 We prefer not to have muddy ground and wet leaves, right? Even if the session day is sunny and dry, if a day before the session was rain, it may affect to your session. Book your fall photo session sooner than later. Usually, we as professional photographers take only a certain amount of clients per month. This way you can plan and be flexible if you can book early enough. It is one of the tips to have a fun fall family session without being anxious about the weather and the timing of fall’s colorful season!

Considering the starting time for your session

It is important to choose the best time for your kids. Some photographers love taking pictures only 2 hours before the sunset. It is because that is the best time for photographers to capture with natural soft light. If the timing works out, that is great! The problem is kids cannot adjust their timing for a photo session. Do you think this little boy will smile at me right before he takes a nap? NO! So I usually ask parents to book a session right after nap or anytime their kids are in a good mood. Lighting is what photographer should be able to handle in any situation. Bringing the smile and good vibe is very important for fall family photo session.

Choose a photographer who follows the regulations

Because of the pandemic this year, Kimi Photography is following the guidance of OHA to open our business. It is also a good idea to have 6 feet distance while you are having a fun fall family session. Before booking a photographer for your fall session, you may want to ask if the photographer has a 70-200mm lens. The lens has a long focal length, and the photographer can keep some distance from you while capturing the action. Also, it can take a beautiful portrait too. Depending on the lens the photographer has, it can assist in the safety for your photo session this year. It is something you might want to consider for your fun fall family photo session in Portland.

Coordinating your outfit!

Sometimes moms get frustrated with coordinating a perfect outfit. We recommend to start coordinating with neutral colors first then add some accent colors unless your session has a particular theme. I would love to help with coordinating outfits, so let’s have a fun coordinating instead of being stressed out!

Bring your joy and be playful!

It seems like the easiest thing, but it can also be the hardest thing sometimes. I often ask parents to not to get nervous or frustrated about photo session especially on the session day. The stress you feel, kids can also feel very much. We will try to help organize the photo session, so please come to the location just like you would go to a picnic on the day! Also, be prepared to be playful with your kids. Some parents just send their kids to be in front of the camera, but they love you to be in the pictures as well. Kids can smile much easier if you play with them like usual! Also, kids can make parents smile too. It goes both ways!

If you are looking for a professional photographer to capture your family’s beautiful moments and portrait, please contact us! We would love to work with you!

Professional Family Photography Near Portland

misohime — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 20:42:53 +0000

How is your summer 2020? I hope everyone is somehow finding a way to enjoy this summer. If you are looking for professional family photography near Portland this summer, we are open for business while following the regulation of the Oregon Health Authority and take extra care in sanitation. Even in this tough time for everyone all over the world, newborn babies are still being born in this world and children are growing up. It makes us so joyful and lets us see the hope in the future.

We visited a peony farm near Portland. Some photographers like to only take pictures at sunrise or sunset. Those times are often the best for lighting for photographers. However, it is sometimes tough to adjust for the kids timing for family pictures. Like this family, the little boy was still taking a nap and most kids tend to have more energy and be in a good mood in the morning or right after their nap time. We adjust the timing for kids and choose a location for family photography. We decided to have a session in the morning, and the peony farm was almost private.

We also often use 70-200mm which is great in helping keep the social distance between photographer and subjects.

We hope that even in this pandemic, everyone stays in hope for future and looks forward to the world getting calmer! To contact a professional family photographer near Portland, click the button!

Pregnancy Massage & Maternity Portrait Session

misohime — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 02:30:17 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Being pregnant is one of those moments to cherish in your life. As you see in my portfolio for maternity sessions, you can see the beautiful and gorgeous ladies shine! However, the beauty and gorgeousness sometimes come with some physical pregnancy pains. The hormones can affect you mentally also. Pregnancy massage might help in having cherishable moments of pregnancy and have a wonderful maternity portrait session.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4195″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Most of our maternity portrait clients come to our studio when they are in the third trimester of their pregnancy. The baby is already big and the belly is nicely round. It is also the time moms get muscle aches and joint pain. The spine curves more as the belly gets big, so a lot of pregnant women deal with back pains. Because of the development of mammary glands for breast feeding, the bust get bigger as well. It means shoulder muscle pain and the upper body also gets heavier. To get relief from that, pregnancy massage might help.

[/vc_column_text]

Can all massage therapist provide pregnancy massage?

[vc_column_text]Just like choosing an educated maternity and newborn photographer, you would like to choose pregnancy massage therapists who are educated in that special field. It seems like they can take some advanced training to provide the service. As a photographer, I am educated as a maternity and newborn photographer to take care of your baby. At least once a year, I do update my skills and knowledge with advanced maternity and newborn workshops and worldwide photographer conferences. So for a prenatal massage therapist, it is always good to find someone who is specialized and educated in the field.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4197″ img_size=”large ” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”4196″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

When to have a massage?

[vc_column_text]According to whattoexpect.com , pregnancy massage is generally considered safe after the first trimester. Just like usual massage sessions, it makes our blood flow well. Better blood circulation is better, but it might trigger your morning sickness too. It helps after the second trimester.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4192″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Prenatal massage helps to prevent depression and reduces anxiety also. Women’s body changes quickly and very much to become a mom while we are pregnant. It helps to improve labor outcome by caring for yourself physically and mentally with a prenatal massage. It even makes you feel good and more enjoyable to have a maternity photo session with Kimi Photography![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

After Baby Meal Ideas for Kimi Photography Newborn Clients

misohime — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 06:37:08 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was pretty surprised and amazed by meal trains after birth when I started living in the US. I think it is such a warm way to welcome the newborn and helping moms. Sadly, there is no such a custom in Japan, where I grew up, anymore. My friends, whom are also an international couple, just had their newborn baby and we are enrolled in their meal train. That experience made me think to write after baby meal ideas for Kimi Photography Newborn Clients. My clients are not only from the Portland area, but also from other countries or living in Portland temporarily. Which also means being away from their friends and the baby’s grandparents who might be able to help them if they lived closer. I think knowing what mom might need for after giving birth might help recover their body and be even more enjoyable to be with the new addition of the family![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4180″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When I photograph portraits, some moms care about their weight. No worries! You put your life on delivering a new life into the world. No body expects you to be the same weight as before pregnancy. From a photographer’s view, moms get better skin and just the joy they get by holding their babies shine so much. If we can reduce your worries, stress, and the amount of sleepless nights through recovering your body and nourishment, let’s do it![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4178″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

How much and when to eat ?

[vc_column_text]According to Web MD, new moms need to have 1,800 and 2,200 calories everyday. If they are nursing, they need up to 500 calories more. I also learned it is a good idea to spread your meals throughout the day, so your power lasts for the whole day.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4182″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

What kind of Nutrients are needed?

[vc_column_text]Proteins: beans, lean meats, eggs, and soys are good to have for recovery.

Calcium: It is good to have 1,000 milligrams (take it from low-fat products) daily.

Also, Iron is necessary to let your body create new blood cells. Red meat and liver has more iron.

If you had twins, have a health condition, or are vegetarian, ask your doctor about your nutrition. Every pregnancy and delivery is different!

Here are some recipes to have those nutrients. https://www.mothermag.com/meals-for-new-moms/[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4179″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

Snack ideas?

[vc_column_text]Baby’s siblings can help mom with making some snacks! They can be a big helper![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

hummus plate
mix nuts with low sodium
whole grain (oats) cereal with low-fat milk
Low-fat cheese with a piece of fruit
Peanut butter with veggies or fruits
Plain Greek yogurt with fruit

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4183″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]It is needless to say dads are an available hero to support the family member! Not only for taking care of their children, but also in helping recover moms’ body and get through this emotional time. Having a baby is a life changing event in life and I hope some of this information can help my clients who come to Kimi Photography for maternity and newborn photography.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4181″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Kimi Photography is a featured photographer!

misohime — Sun, 24 Feb 2019 03:42:19 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Near the end of last year in 2018, I got an honorable email from Basic Invite. Basic Invite is one of the big invitation and card companies in the US. The company asked me to be their featured photographer on their blog! They asked me to share a story of having my business Kimi Photography in the US. As one of many foreigners in the US, I really appreciate the opportunity to be their featured photographer to share my story![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3866″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]I asked one of my clients to use their pictures for the blog posting. They have been using Kimi Photography since the little girl was still in the belly! Getting to know them for their maternity pictures then they keep using us as their family photographer. How awesome is that!![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]As you read in the blog, the joy and love of photography came first in my life. Kimi Photography also cares how we can remain and become the story teller to the next generations as a professional photographer.

In this generation, anyone can be a “photographer” if you hold camera or phone. There are many aspects to being a professional photographer however. I believe that knowing and applying photography skill to provide better services to capture and create the treasures for future generations is one of the responsibilities to call ourselves as a professional newborn and family photographer 🙂

Anyway, I am so honored to be one of their featured photographers and I hope I can grow and be more skilled to meet your request in capturing your beautiful family and newborns in the future.

Tips for a fun outside family photography session in Portland!

misohime — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 05:48:50 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Have you had a family photography session? Life gets so busy, especially after you get your child. Taking care of chores fills up your schedule, and taking pictures with your phone of your kids helps distract from the feelings of missing those precious moments in your life…

Life goes so fast.

When you are raising your kids, you may hope that they grow up as fast as possible. However when you look back after they grow up, most people think they grew up too fast. If you decide to have a family photography session in Portland, please contact Kimi Photography. Let’s enjoy the moment of having a family photography session and make it a treasure of your family!

To make the family photography session successful, I have some tips to make things smooth. There are also some preparations that we usually ask our clients to take. I will write about those and I hope they give you some ideas of having your family session with us.[/vc_column_text]

-Posing First

[vc_column_text]Unless they are used to being in front of a camera, people don’t know what to do. I am not a person who loves to have my portrait taken, so I know how you feel if you don’t know what to do when someone holds a camera and aims at you!

I believe that posing sometimes helps to warm up the session in the beginning. You don’t have to freeze, and I lightly pose most of the time. You can move if you want to. However, it depends on the client. Some people can naturally pose and they know the angles they look better. Don’t hesitate to pose in front of me.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3756″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3766″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

Let's have a fun!

[vc_column_text]Parents can bring out the best smiles of their kids. After we get warmed up, we play tag and play with bubbles! I encourage parents to play with kids at that time. Smiles are just like a chain reaction! If you smile, it catches on and soon smiles are everywhere. Kids love seeing their parents being happy and smiling. Let’s have fun, just like you came over to the park to play! I am sure your kids’ smiles will make you really happy at the session.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3759″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3762″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3761″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3760″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

- Let's use props

[vc_column_text]Kids’ attention would not last so long. I usually bring a few props depending on your children ages. Balloons are always on my list of things to bring for a family photography session in Portland. We can discuss about props when you come to our pre-consultation. Pre-consultation is what we offer before you book with us. It is a great opportunity for you to know about our session and service. So, I would like to know about your children and what props will keep more attention from them!

We will use the props towards to the end of the session, so their excitement will last a little longer 🙂 No worries about the candies! I brought them for the excitement but we didn’t let them finish. Kids might like me, but it would be a nightmare later on with that much sugar…haha[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3757″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3758″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3764″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3763″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]

- Just relax and bring your smile

[vc_column_text]As you can see the clothing color of this family, they coordinated with Navy! Outfit coordination is what I ask our clients to think about. I know that it takes a lot of effort for moms to think out the outfits for everyone in the family. If you need some help, please send me some pictures of them. You may want to start with picking your color and add some neutral colors, like white, grey, beige etc. The clothing doesn’t have to be all new, so no pressure! Also, if your time runs out for preparation, do not hesitate to let me know. If my schedule allows, we can meet you 30 mins or an hour later to give you more time. Sometimes, mom focuses so much on the other members’ outfits and preparations, she cannot take her own time. Mom has to be happy to make your family happy! We can adjust the starting time. Just relax and let’s be excited to create your family history! It is not an opportunity that everyone can have. It is something that your future family would appreciate and I am very happy to meet you as a photographer :)[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3771″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Family Portrait Session in Portland with Kimi Photography

misohime — Thu, 13 Apr 2017 06:34:39 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am always so thankful when my clients come back. I love seeing the family and babies growing up! Their maternity pictures were taken by Kimi Photography about 4 years ago.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3359″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3358″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]I still remember that the time we had the maternity session was pretty cold, but full of giggles and happiness! I cannot believe that this boy was the little bump! He is now 4 years old and they are back for a Family Portrait Session with Kimi Photography!

Usually we reserve about 2 hours for our Family Portrait Session. It depends on the kid’s age though. Little ones are a little more difficult to keep their attention on the photo session. As we know they don’t last 2 hours. We will have some activities and stuff to entertain them ( like balloons, other toys, and sometimes a cake ) to capture the moment, and we capture the interactions between the family. With this 4 year old boy, the session went very smooth with lots of laughs and smiles.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3363″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3364″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]In these 4 years, they got another bump! We also celebrated this little man’s first birthday together![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3365″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3366″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]From our experience, especially 1 to 3 years old kids, sometimes have a hard time being in the mood of a photo session for 2 hours. We usually take pictures with them (if there are little ones in the family) at the beginning, then move on to other pictures.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We also try to take some posed pictures! I personally think it is important to have mix of candid and posed pictures, especially for family portrait sessions. We always want to remember the real smiles and laughter of your family, but it is also nice to have a few posed pictures as a nice memory. Grandparents usually love the posed pictures ;)[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3361″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”3362″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]We had such a fun time with them at this family portrait session! We hope to see them with the grandparents and more extended family this summer![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]When I see cherry blossoms in Portland Oregon, I always remember the photo session with this family. It has been 2 years already, but it was so great to meet them while I was visiting in Japan. They live in Tanzania and this girl was born there. I met them before I moved to the US, so I haven’t seen this cute girl in person!

Beautiful Family Photo Session in Hillsboro Oregon

misohime — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 04:03:26 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I could have a chance to photograph this beautiful Japanese family in this summer. Their baby girl visited my studio when she was about 2 weeks old. About 5 months after her newborn baby photo session, they booked their family photo session. I was so happy to meet the family again!

As we always do, we met Hisako (the wife) for consultation. This is the meeting before the every photo session. We can get to know each other, and I will be able to know what my clients are looking for with me. We decided to go with the picnic theme, so everyone can be relaxed and have a fun during the photo session.

Another thing I usually ask is coordinate what they are going to wear. Yep, from wife’s perspective, it is fun but it is also not an easy thing to coordinate the clothing for all of your family members…Here is the link it might be helpful for your family session. 　https://clickitupanotch.com/what-to-wear-in-family-photos-5/

I always try to help with emailing back and forth, and Hisako said they all have navy or blue clothing, so they decided to coordinate with blue![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2041″ img_size=”full” image_position=”normal-align-left” has_link=”false” link_type=”normal”][vc_single_image image=”2050″ img_size=”full” image_position=”normal-align-left” has_link=”false” link_type=”normal”][vc_column_text]I think the picnic theme actually worked well for their 4-year-old boy. It is about the age…running, climbing, and chasing anything they see! It is almost impossible to let 4-year-old boy to sit for 5 seconds![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2052″ img_size=”full” image_position=”normal-align-left” has_link=”false” link_type=”normal”][vc_column_text]Hisako’s parents come from Japan in this summer. It was another reason for them to have a family photography session. They just celebrated their 50th anniversary. They were shy to get close first, but I truly think it precious to see parents in love like them. Also, their love to the grand kids just made my heart melt. Such a sweet couple to capture![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2055″ img_size=”full” image_position=”normal-align-left” has_link=”false” link_type=”normal”][vc_column_text]This is the baby girl I photographed when she was about 2 weeks old. I just love how she smiles![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2059″ img_size=”full” image_position=”normal-align-left” has_link=”false” link_type=”normal”][vc_column_text]These are the before and after shots. If you are pregnant, please think about to have newborn photo session. This is how much baby can change their looks in only a few months. It will be a such treasure for your whole family.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2057″ img_size=”full” image_position=”normal-align-left” has_link=”false” link_type=”normal”][vc_column_text]I had a great time with them and hope to see them again :)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
