When you start thinking about photos for the Seven-Five-Three ceremony, all sorts of hopes and concerns come to mind: \"Will my child be able to take the photos without feeling nervous?\" \"I'm curious about the kimono and the dress,\" \"I want to include the family photos as well.\"<\/p>\n

Furushima Prefecture, Kushiyama Citystudio instruction<\/strong>So, starting from choosing the costumes and background, we work together to figure out what time the family would like to spend together. This time, we\u2019ll introduce seven-five-sutori photography that is fun and enjoyable with plenty of actual photos from the actual photoshoot.<\/p>\n

The serene appearance of a kimono, the expressions shown in Western-style attire, the smiles of siblings, and the commemorative photos of the whole family.<\/strong>Please browse through the photos looking for \"I like this photo.\"<\/p>\n

1. Even in a perfectly sunny day, I couldn't help but smile<\/h2>\n

With a posture that stretches the back, a smile that breaks out slightly. Even with the same seven-five-three outfit, the child\u2019s personality conveyed through the photo changes as the expression changes.<\/p>\n

At Reimei, we proceed with shooting while engaging in conversation and play. It\u2019s okay if they don\u2019t know how to look at the camera from the beginning and try to laugh awkwardly. If you tell the child in advance about their shyness, any fears they might have, or their favorite activities, we can work together to find the right way to speak to them.<\/p>\n

2. Combine the kimono with the background to create a look that suits the child.<\/h2>\n

Pairing a light-colored kimono with a bright background creates a soft atmosphere. Pairing a kimono with a solid-colored background makes the patterns and hair ornaments stand out. Accessories such as a Japanese umbrella and a moss ball also add a sense of traditional Japanese style to the outfit.<\/p>\n

At ReiMei, you can consult us on everything from choosing the outfit to arranging the hair and makeup. We listen to your child\u2019s wishes\u2014whether it\u2019s \u201cI like this color\u201d or \u201cI want a neat hairstyle\u201d\u2014and we\u2019ll find the look you want. If you would like Japanese hair, please let us know about your pre-booking.<\/p>\n

3. With a dress or suit, you can still show another side of yourself<\/h2>\n

For the Seven-Five-Three photoshoot, you can also request to have dresses or tuxedos in addition to kimono. Enjoying the feel of a flowing dress or the moment when you become a little older brother or older sister in a suit are all special memories of this age.<\/p>\n

When choosing a costume, please also communicate your image, such as \"I like the photo of you sitting,\" \"I want to preserve the silhouette of your entire body,\" etc. The types of costumes, sizes, the number of times you need to change clothes, and the time required will be discussed in advance during the preliminary meeting.<\/p>\n

4. The sibling photo captures the usual relationship between siblings.<\/h2>\n

Even if you\u2019re a bit shy as an individual, having a sibling next to you can make you smile. You might lean in to hug them or look them in the eyes. The difference in height and the way they sit together also reflect the essence of the two of you today.<\/p>\n

If you are planning to have both children get their Seven-Five-Three photos taken, please feel free to contact us for a consultation regarding the photos of the main characters and siblings.\"A photo of each person,\" \"Together as siblings,\" \"The whole family\"<\/strong>By organizing the combinations you want to keep, the meeting will go smoothly.<\/p>\n

5. Both parents are included in the photo. Capture the important moments of your family together<\/h2>\n

The Seven Five Three Festival is also an important milestone for families who have watched their children grow up. Even dads and moms who often take photos themselves would like to take a photo together.<\/p>\n

Some of the photos of Rei Mei\u2019s shoots feature photos of the whole family wearing kimono. The photos of them standing together and the photos of the children being hugged in the middle have different atmospheres. If you would like to use the family\u2019s costumes and preparations, please let us know your number of participants, size, and hair style preferences as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

6. If you want to preserve the outside light and scenery, take photos of the location.<\/h2>\n

In addition to the studio background, taking photos of seasonal scenery and locations is also an option for Rei Meio. The smiles shown on the path of a shrine or the kimono in the garden are also captured as a reminder of the time spent there.<\/p>\n

If you have any wishes such as wanting to combine small items and scenery as shown in the photo, or want to leave a trace of your walk, please let us know. We can also discuss it even if the location has not yet been decided.<\/p>\n

Outdoor photography requires preparation based on the shooting permit, usage conditions, travel time, and weather. We will also confirm the response in case of rain and any additional costs in advance through preliminary discussions. The seasons and scenery depicted in the photos may differ from what appears in the examples due to the nature of the production.<\/p>\n

Even your favorite stuffed toy can become a reminder of the present.<\/h2>\n

Photos of your favorite stuffed animals can also serve as a reminder years later when you look back and say, \"I was always with this little one.\" If you want to take photos of an item that is important to your child, please consult us regarding bringing it along.<\/p>\n
