Shichi Go San Photography utilizing natural lighting with natural background Photographed in Los Angeles
My youngest daughter got to know this little sunshine at a Japanese preschool, Kodomo no Ie, and they became very close friends. I also got to know his mother and father and we also became great friends. As my daughter grows, I can see him grow . . . and I was beyond excited to have the opportunity to capture him for his 5th-year celebration of Shichi Go San. The sparkle of his eyes with curiosity, the beautiful shine of his hair, skin, and teeth in healthy growth. Being a treasure and loved by his parents . . . words can not describe enough.
Photographing him, I could not help but say a small silent prayer……”Stay as you are. Wishing you all the BEST and your future will be as bright as your smile!”
till next time,
