Unscripted and unposed

or

Slightly scripted and posed.

My goal is the same :

capture authentic emotions, loves and, sometimes, chaos too.

Unscripted and unposed

100% documentary style family photography

Day in The Life (DTL) session

=

You are 100% free to do whatever you would like to do

(except maybe going under water - I am not equipped for and I am a very bad swimmer)

Ordinary day (yes, just a regular day in your life)

or

Special day (birthdays, family gatherings, weddings)

No instruction and no posing, let me just witness and capture a slice of your life.

Portraits session

Posed but unposed,

scripted but unscripted

=

I will guide you.

I will give you some instructions.

But just enough to be yourself.

I will let you interact with the persons you love.

And here is the result :

Pictures that look unposed and unscripted,

filled with authentic emotion and love.

Who am I ?

My name is Nao.

Japanese but half French in my mind as I spent more than half of my life in France.

My family (my French husband and my two kids) and I

moved from France to Houston during summer 2023.

This is our second time in Houston.

We already know the city, we already have friends around.

This is like coming back after a long long vacation.

Photography is my passion.

My career as a professional photographer begun in January 2019 in France.

I am happy to be able to now serve Houston area,

the city where my wish to become a professional photographer emerged.

I speak Japanese, French and English (though not as good as the other two…).

During weekdays, I am working in a preschool as a French teacher.

I am unavailable by phone during working hours and while commuting,

and family & photographer life sometime gets busy on weekends,

but I will answer any inquiry by email as quickly as I can.

Feel free to contact me through the contact sheet if you have any questions.
