From Tokyo To Kyoto, JapanThe Howard family had a family portrait session in Tokyo scheduled for weeks. I looked forward to the shoot but worried that the Howard's session, like so many others this season, would have to be rescheduled due to weather. It has not been the greatest autumn in Tokyo this year, raining much more than usual. As our shoot date approached, my fears were confirmed. According to the forecast, it was obvious that our shoot would have to be rescheduled (Ain't nobody want to have a family session in the pouring rain). But Pauline, Ross and the kids didn't want to push their portrait date too far into the future. Nor did I. We looked at our calendars and it didn't seem like we were going to be able to find an available date that worked for both of us. The following weekend the Howards would head off to Kyoto and... wait. I was going through Kyoto the next weekend for a travel editorial. We found it. While our schedules weren't going to allow for a family portrait shoot in Tokyo, the calendar gods conspired to give us a small window of time together in Kyoto, Japan. I became excited about the prospect of breaking my editorial workload up with a family shoot in a new location. Family portraits in Kyoto sounded great to me. A week later I connected with the Howard family hundreds of miles away from our original session location. We were finally together and got to work straight away. For the next hour, we strolled through the Shimogamo Shrine and relaxed in the wooded areas of the manicured complex. It was a wonderful session and I was pleased to have the environmental change. Kyoto delivered amazing weather and the Howard family came equipped with smiles. In the end, I couldn't have planned it better. Are you thinking of a portraiture session in Tokyo or Kyoto, Japan? If so, let's chat and start planning your custom portrait experience. More Family Portraiture |
