hello friends, i'm mai!

Wife, mother of three, Japanese, and a lover of all things timeless. I’m so glad you’re here!

Growing up, my parents were always behind the camera, capturing family milestones—but rarely in the photos themselves. I have only a few pictures of myself as a baby with my mom or dad.

When I became a mother in 2018, I realized how much I wanted portraits—not just of my baby, but with my baby, and as a family together. That’s when I truly understood the power of photography in preserving love and connection.

Moms of young children often tell me how they wish they could freeze time. These fleeting moments pass too quickly—but they don’t have to disappear.

Let me capture the tender moments of motherhood for you—images filled with genuine authenticity and deep connection, treasured for generations to come.
