Shofuso Photoshoot Packages

In celebration of Shichi-Go-San, we are offering our photography, rental and beauty services at a special price in collaboration with Shofuso; with the same dedication to quality, service and aesthetic that we offer throughout the year.

Our special photoshoot package includes: 5 professionally retouched images*, the corresponding high resolution digital files and a private online gallery. Within a week of your photoshoot, you will receive a proof sheet through which you can select your five favorite images for processing. Additional images can be selected and purchased at $25 per image. We also offer optional print products, mementos and keepsakes, which can be ordered after your shoot.

Promotion: If you choose to allow us to share your photos on our website, social media and / or future promotions, you will receive a complimentary commemorative slideshow with your chosen photos in English or Japanese to share with your friends and family. Alternatively, you can choose to receive a voucher for 10% off one of our print products OR an additional image.

All of our images are professionally retouched to reflect our signature style and aesthetic. During Shichi-Go-San season, we are also keen to pay attention to and correct issues that may occur throughout the course of the photoshoot in regards to the child’s hair, makeup and kitsuke; which sometimes occur with first time kimono wearers.
