Children's Day (端午の節句)

April 20th and 21st ONLY

Family Photography

Thank you for joining us at the Children's Day Photo Session 2024. This year again, we had a delightful session with many children and families smiling and posing freely like koinobori (carp streamers) in their own unique ways. The indoor shoots were done with kabuto (samurai helmets), and the outdoor shoots involved numerous koinobori of various sizes.

This event was part of a collaborative project with KIMONO MOSAIQUE, offering kimono rental and dressing services, which added a charming touch to the beautifully dressed children, much to the delight of their parents.

Happy Children's Day! We continue to wish for the healthy growth and well-being of your children. We are planning the next Children's Day Photo Session for late April 2025. We will provide updates on the exact dates and details as the time approaches.

Please follow us on FacebookandInstagram to stay updated.

In-Studio Shoots

2025 April (TBD): Indoor Kabuto (Helmet) Photography

Capture your child in a photo with a helmet, set against a backdrop of a large rising carp. The photo studio is located in North-East Austin. We can also prepare adult-sized kimonos for parents. Perfect for documenting your child's growth and for a family photo session on Children’s Day.

Outdoor Locations

2025 April (TBD): Outdoor Carp Streamer Photography

Enjoy a relaxed outdoor photo session with your child among large and small carp streamers, including some as big as 2 meters. The sight of numerous carp streamers gently swimming in the wind at Pfluger Park in Pflugerville is truly magnificent. Please note, changing clothes will be outdoors, so this session is only recommended for children who are comfortable changing outside.

Requests for When Wearing a Kimono

Things to take care of before the dressing starts

✨  Meals, restroom visits, makeup, breastfeeding, changing your baby's diaper, etc.

Items you should prepare

✨  For children and men, we request wearing a loose-fitting undershirt (with or without sleeves is fine) and soft shorts.

✨  For women, we recommend wearing a tank top or camisole with a wide neckline and soft shorts or leggings. Preferably, a wire-free sports bra (like a bra top) is desirable.

✨  Adequate hydration, and for children, non-messy bite-sized snacks or their favorite toys that might lift their spirits could be helpful.
