Every day I am grateful to have the opportunity to connect with the sweetest souls and photograph some of their fleeting memories with their loved ones. My mission as your photographer is to provide comfort and ease while drawing out your purest emotions. It would be an honor to capture each season of your heartfelt story.
Personable, fun-loving, and a bit of a hopeless romantic, Yuka has been behind the lens capturing memories for her family + friends since she was a little girl. Taking photos has been her favorite pastime and go-to creative outlet.
Learn MoreYes! Finding a photographer that you feel totally comfortable with is so important. I am happy to hop on a phone call or video chat to get to know you. If schedules align, I would love to meet up for some coffee or dessert. Email me and let's chat!
I am located in Orange County, CA and I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it may require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place.
You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum of 4 weeks (sometimes less depending on the package you select and/or season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and order prints. Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your ideal timeline.
Based on the package and duration of the session you select, the number of photos delivered will vary. I make an effort to choose quality rather than quantity and will select the best and most significant photos to tell your story!

"Yuka was referred to us by a friend and I am so glad we chose her for our first family photoshoot. She's super sweet, professional, and efficient. We had no idea how to pose with our little one, but she had a ton of suggestions for us that turned out really cute! She also knows where all the pretty backgrounds are. Would 100% recommend her and come to her again for future shoots!"

"Yuka is AMAZING! I do not have enough words to describe how amazing she is as a photographer and as a person. We booked Yuka for our first family photoshoot with our 9 month baby, and absolutely loved her! She has the sweetest personality and instantly made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the shoot. I originally thought the baby was not cooperating, but when she delivered our photos (with a very quick turnaround time), she captured all of the quirky smiles and funny faces from our little one!!"

"Understanding the importance of these monumental moments in life come only once. I couldn’t think of anyone better to capture them other than Yuka. Not only did she make the effort to scope out different landscapes for the occasion, but she made both of us feel comfortable, making sure that our smile and laughter came out genuine! She offered the best angles and lighting to capture the perfect moment for us. With that said, Yuka delivered the most incredible photos we can cherish forever."

"I don't know where to start, her skills & attention to detail is amazing! Not only that but she is genuinely such a sweet person. She does her best to always make you feel comfortable, from words of affirmations to poses that make you feel warm and loved.
I've recommended her to all my friends and they keep coming back to her, which I think is a huge testimony to her as a photographer and as a person
She tries her best to get you your photos in a timely manner. And she always surprises me with a few more"

"I CANNOT recommend Yuka enough for your photography needs!!!! She is the sweetest person you'll ever meet and if you're nervous about getting in front of the camera or don't know how to pose like me, she will make you feel comfortable and encourage you every step of the way!
