Great picture day with Naoko
Naoko was excellent. She took tons of pictures and moved us around to different locations. We got lots of great shots without a lot of people around which is hard to do. We all enjoyed her energy and enthusiasm.
Operator response
Michael-san, thank you so much for entrusting me with your important photographs the other day.
Thanks to you communicating your preferences in advance, I was able to suggest specific shooting locations.
I am also deeply touched by your kind words; they are a great encouragement for me in the future.
Please allow me a little more time for the photos to be completed.

Amazing Cherry Blossom Family Photoshoot!
Naoko is an excellent and talented photographer. Her communication was excellent throughout. She was very helpful in helping us to select a good location and tailored the photoshoot session to our requests. Since we were visiting Japan during cherry blossom season, we wanted to take family photos with the beautiful blooms. Naoko did an excellent job of directing us in different poses and had very creative ideas. She was especially good at making the photo shoot fun for our 6 year old son, even allowing him to try out her camera. The photos were beautiful and my son had a beautiful smile in all of them. We are grateful to have had Naoko to capture such beautiful and cherished memories of our family trip to Japan.
Operator response
Smelimelimc-san, Thank you so much for your kind words. I always try to make the entire experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible—not only during the photoshoot, but also when discussing the location and timing based on each family’s plans.
I also do my best to make the session fun for children, keeping them engaged by incorporating movement and keeping the session efficient so they don’t get bored.
Thank you again for trusting me to capture your special cherry blossom memories in Tokyo.

Thank you Naoko for your amazing job!
We chanced upon Naoko while looking for photographers to document out recent Tokyo trip. Naoko kept in constant contact with us and even updated us with the weather conditions. Though it was a pity the weather was foggy and we could not capture Fuji-San, Naoko managed to capture something that is much more dearer to us, our smiles. Pure unadulterated happiness could be seen from our finalised pictures and we are so pleased with them.For those who worry about the language barrier, please rest assure that Naoko is fluent in English and we never had any issues with the session. We will definitely contact Naoko for future photo sessions. Thank you Naoko and Nori for your patience to my family!

Amazing pictures and great time!
Naoko-San's photography service in Tokyo exceeded our expectations. Not only was she friendly and proficient in English, but she also had a keen eye for capturing the essence of our family. We were thoroughly satisfied with the pictures she provided; they truly encapsulated the memories of our time in Tokyo. Naoko-San comes highly recommended for anyone seeking professional and personable photography services in the city.

If you let me know your requests and where you would like to stay, I will take you to the best location to take the family photos you desire.
We can suggest locations such as traditional Japanese architecture and modern towers, and for families with small children, locations that are away from crowds and allow you to take wonderful photos at your leisure.

What a fun family photoshoot
Naoko-san is a perfect family photographer. She is friendly, professional and has a great sense of humor and positive energy. Our family with young kids had a lot of fun during our photoshoot. Appreciated her and her husband who helped out as assistant meeting us on New Year’s Day for photos.

Fun family photoshoot in Tokyo
What a fun family photoshoot with Naoko-san! She was accommodating to our date request (New Year's Day) as well as location request that was close to where we live. We also got the added bonus of her husband as an assistant since it was a holiday.
It's incredible to have a photographer who is friendly, professional and has a great sense of humor. We had three kids under 12 and she made it fun for everyone...lots of laughs and giggles during our photoshoot.
If you are looking to take family photos in Tokyo, Naoko-san is the best pick! She will meet you at your requested location (you pay her the quoted transit fee once the location is decided for her bus/subway/train ride to the location), take great photos and you will have a wonderful time!
Operator response
Thank you for choosing me to take photos of your precious family today.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it, and so is my husband, who accompanied me as an assistant.
Also, I am very grateful to receive your feedback on the shoot.
I always make happy customers who are shy and have trouble taking good photos by taking pictures of them smiling.
I also regularly photograph children in kindergartens, so I know how to entertain them while still photographing them.
We will discuss the shooting location and start time with you based on your wishes and a location that is easily accessible from where you are staying.
We decide based on the customer's wishes.
Shooting fees are paid in advance via Viator.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but transportation costs will vary depending on the shooting location.
Actual transportation expenses (JR Kunitachi Station) are paid in cash on the day of the shoot.
We were blessed with good weather today, and thanks to everyone's cooperation, we were able to take many photos.
thank you very much.
Please allow two weeks for the photo to be completed.
Thank you for this time. Naoko Komuro

Professional Photos with a Personal Touch...
Naoko-san provided a 1st Class experience from booking to the backdrop. She is able to photograph to your imagination and elevate the finished product. If you're a visitor to Japan, I'd recommend her for family or business events to document your journey through her lens.
Operator response
Thank you very much for entrusting me with these precious photos.
Thank you again for your wonderful words.
After working as a bridal photographer for more than 10 years at a first-class hotel in Tokyo, I have taken more than 1000 portraits as an independent family portrait photographer.
Bridal and child photography have one thing in common: you have to take fast, high-quality photos.
Taking advantage of the experience of making instantaneous judgments continuously for more than 14 years,
In addition to the customer's requests, we reduce the psychological burden on the customer as much as possible by taking pictures quickly, and as a result, we produce photos with a relaxed and wonderful expression.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Excellent lady Japanese photographer very comfortable session
Very glad to have met photographer Naoko Komuro to take our family vacation photos in Tokyo.
She made it so fun and easy for us to shoot with 2 boys aged 2 and 6. Her English language was good as well and Able communicate to us what to do and how to post. The boys were very comfortable with her and we loved the shots she took.. as seen in all the happy faces captured in some pictures attached here. Would highly recommend her for anyone who wants memorable shot for their holidays in Japan!
Operator response
Thank you for choosing me for your precious family trip in Tokyo.
We are also very grateful for your kind words.
We asked about the age of the two children, so we made sure that the children would not get bored with the shooting.
Also, there were steps to move around, but I had checked in advance where there was an elevator, so I was able to guide you and try to reduce the burden of moving.
I have been photographing children and their families for 14 years, and have specialized in photographing more than 1,000 groups so far. .
We will propose the optimal shooting location based on the customer's request for shooting content, schedule before and after, and the range of movement.
We are looking forward to seeing you again in Tokyo.
