Last summer, I had the privilege of capturing my first honourable moment by photographing the Iaido competition. This time, I was invited to document their seminar, where members engaged in learning new techniques and explore into the philosophy, values, and mission of the dojo.　For more information about Tokushikai Canada please check here.

Iaido is a traditional Japanese martial art that utilizes swords as a means of training the body and mind in the attainment of stillness and balance. The refined movements, calmness, and respect embodied in Iaido evoke a profound sense of Japanese beauty, which is deeply ingrained in my cultural heritage. 

I am thankful for this awesome experience ! Looking forward to the next event in June and July !

I was honoured to capture the special occasion, the graduation day ! My session was held after the ceremony, as everyone gathered outside the auditorium to socialize with friends and family. I am delighted to have been a part of the joyous atmosphere and witnessed the radient smiles on everyone’s faces. Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishments and the exciting journey that awaits you in the future!

I had the exceptional privilege of capturing the beautiful wedding portraits of this lovely couple in the traditional Japanese style. I am extremely delighted that they chose  the gorgeous wedding kimono options for their special day. In my studio, the pure white “Shiromuku,” the vibrant “Iro Uchikake,” and the elegant “Haori Hakama” have been patiently awaiting the ideal moment to be worn. I am overjoyed !

It has been an absolute honour for me to be a part of their beautiful journey. I genuinely enjoyed every moment of this memorable day. I hope the images become cherished memories in their new life together.

I had an absolute blast shooting photos for this Ottawa University Law Students Association ! It was such a fun and relaxed session, perfect for celebrating their new president. I hope they have an amazing time in this new term ahead! 

I was honoured to capture this talented artist’s portrait for her upcoming event in Ottawa. She has been selected as a participant in the West Ottawa Art Tour. I hope that these images will serve as a proof to her success in this exciting new endeavour.

I had the wonderful opportunity to capture portraits for the university faculty election campaign. The campus provided a stunning backdrop for the photos, and we enjoyed exploring several beautiful locations. I hope these images contribute to the success of this important event. Good luck!

Canada’s iconic winter is in full swing ! And this family chose to embrace the snowy wonderland outdoors. Even their furry companion had a blast exploring the woods. I hope this cherished memory stays with them forever as they return home…
