Don’t forget this precious milestone.

We’re photographing five young adults celebrating their coming-of-age milestone this January 2024.

…and we’d love to invite your soon-to-be 20-year-old child to be one of these special 5.

Creating a legacy

Do you remember those precious first moments of your child when they came into the world to greet you? As they’ve gotten older and older, that inevitable release of your loving hold begins to loosen.

Would you dare to forget such a journey?

Tia,

Tokyo Portrait Photographer, TOPTIA Photography

I have been a professional photographer in Toyko for 7 years and I can’t wait to meet you! I am a certified and award-winning photographer who has worked with over 200 international and domestic companies in Japan!

I started my portrait and photographer business because I wanted to create something very special as a gift for people to enjoy. Fun fact, 90% of my clients hate being photographed! The anticipation of seeing this mindset change from start to finish is exhilarating!

Why ?

I love photography furisode photo sessions for young newly minted adults bright-eyed and curious about the world in front of them. Furisode sessions taken around Seijin no Hi, or Coming of Age Day, are like an extra graduation celebration. Families get to take part in either a family tradition or a new adventure as international residents in Japan.

Having photographed some of these young adults when they were in their Shichi-go-san kimonos over a decade prior, and their Omiyamairi kimonos during their first 100 days of life, I, too, share an excitement to see them start their journey.
