Shichi-Go-San Portrait STUDIO REIMEI

Shichi-Go-San PhotographyIn their small, bright attire,
Spending more time with family.

Three, five, seven years old. Both their slightly mature expressions and their usual innocent smiles are treasures that exist only now. Whether in a kimono, dress, or tuxedo. We will capture those moments as they unfold, preserving them as family memories.

A Day to Celebrate

Cute and dignified,
Always be yourself.

Shichi-Go-San is a milestone to celebrate the healthy growth up to this point and wish for future development. The child's "now" is expressed not only in their neatly arranged festive attire but also in their shy profile and their relieved smile upon spotting their family.

Pre-wedding photos and photos for your shrine visit. Please consult with us based on your desired timing, attire, and combinations you wish to capture with your family.

01

Finding their individuality through their outfit

From traditional kimonos to contemporary styles. In addition to kimonos, we’re happy to discuss photo shoots featuring dresses and tuxedos.

02

Cherish natural smiles and gestures.

In a relaxed atmosphere, we carefully capture both the joyful expressions typical of a sunny day and the casual, natural gestures that are unique to each child.

03

A family milestone, captured in one photo.

We accommodate not only the main child subject but also family photos. We capture photographs that preserve the current family atmosphere for the future.

04

Both in data and in tangible form

We offer options that combine photo data with albums, mounts, and canvases. Please consult with us to decide on the best format for you to keep.

Little Expressions

Beyond the festive attire,
A story just for that child.

Whether it’s the slightly nervous expression on their face as they get used to wearing a kimono for the first time or the smile that breaks through as they play—these are all precious moments that make up their Shichi-Go-San celebration. We’ll take photos without forcing any specific poses, instead going at your child’s own pace.

The expressions shown at three, five, and seven years old are all different. We aim to create photographs that capture the atmosphere of the day so you can remember it when looking back, while also including a photo with your family.
