Hello, I’m Masahito Yoshida☺️ After my years photographing in Nagano, I will return on October 15, 2026 to the Nagakute and Fujigaoka area where I previously worked. From that date I will resume Shichi-Go-San sessions across Aichi and nearby areas📸 November is the main season, but December and later dates are also welcome.
Your child does not need to pose perfectly☺️
A kimono and an unfamiliar shrine can feel like a lot for a child. Running, tears, tired moments—all of that is completely okay.
I do not rush the schedule or force smiles. I wait until your family feels comfortable again, then photograph both the classic portraits and the small gestures that make the day yours📷
If you are wondering whether your child will manage the session, you are especially welcome to get in touch.

Any travel costs are quoted before you book🚗
Depending on the location, travel, tolls, parking, venue, or permit fees may apply. If so, I will tell you the complete total, including the session fee, before your booking is confirmed.
After the move, I will travel from Nagakute to nearby cities such as Nagoya, Nisshin, Owariasahi, Seto, and Toyota, as well as locations across Aichi. Sessions in neighboring Gifu, Mie, and Shizuoka prefectures may also be possible when the date and travel time work. The shrine does not need to be decided yet.
Please check the shrine’s photography rules⛩️
Rules about photography on the grounds, during prayers, photographer access, applications, and fees differ by shrine. Before booking, please ask the shrine whether an outside photographer is allowed.
If you are unsure what to ask, I can help you prepare the questions. I never photograph at a location without confirmed permission.
Feel free to ask about dates📅
I am accepting inquiries mainly for mid-October and November 2026. December and later Shichi-Go-San dates are also welcome. “Now accepting inquiries” does not mean every date is available; I confirm each request in order, including travel time.
Cancellation and rescheduling are free for any reason and at any time. I do not charge cancellation or rescheduling fees, so please contact me whenever weather, health, or family plans change☺️
