Lots of beautiful summer harvests keep coming at Jambican Studio Gardens ! In the hot and humid afternoon I had great time to shoot some new produce and cheerful hard working people. Visiting this organic farm always energies me and give calming energy.
I did not see the cat this time … hope he comes back soon …
I had a wonderful time by photo-shooting the family portraits in the evening of humid summer 2022 ! it was a fun session of happy family get-together ! Our original plan was to have an breezy outdoor gathering but all the sudden! Pouring rain forced us to have a cozy indoor session instead… maybe next time we can try again in the winter before Christmas …
I am extremely lucky again to be able to capture the simple miracles at beautiful Jambican studio gardens in summer 2022! I truly enjoy visiting the farm to witness the growth of amazing organic produce. The Jambican family always welcome everyone with joyful energy !

I had the privilege of capturing the 88th milestone “Beijyu” 米寿 for my Tea ceremony sensei, my husband’s Japanese teacher, and long-time friend in Ottawa. 88th is special age in Japan and those who achieve it deserve recognition. We call it Beijyu, in which the first Chinese character resembles 88. In cool breeze of May we had a fun session together before the huge party in June. Congratulations ! Omedeto Gozaimasu ! I am looking forward to the next milestone “Sotsujyu” 卒寿 ！
