I’m excited to share some recent photos of the successful Kyudo ( Japanese archery ) seminar.
The inaugural Ottawa Kyudo Seminar offers dedicated instruction from a senior Canadian Kyudo member with over 16 years of experience.
There was a great mix of experts and members, and it was filled with insightful discussions and meaningful connections. It was a truly enriching experience, and I’m so proud of being part of the amazing events.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
I am thrilled to congratulate my client on the grand opening of his law firm and to have my opportunity to capture his professional portraiture ! With the awesome support of his friends, the portraits turned out to be a special showcase of his professionalism and fun-loving side.
Wishing his success and make a profound impact through his advocacy for years to come. I am confident that his new firm is founded on dedication, integrity, and commitment to justice. Congrats again on the exciting new chapter !!
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 am pleased to share the poster I created for the musical “The Chorus Line” I performed in April 2025. The production was a resounding success, thanks to the exceptional efforts of our dedicated team of Lost Baggage Theatre and Wood Brass Parley Concert Ensemble. The performance was energetic, contributing to the overall brilliance ! I feel honoured to be part of such an excellent company.
I’m so excited to share that we’ve been working hard for our band’s special event this Autumn. I’m really proud of what they’ve come up with, and I can’t wait to see everyone there! It’s going to be a blast, so mark your calendars and let’s make this a night to remember!
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!
