things to take a note


  1. Me and kimono rental does not have any relation. I am not responsible nor take care your problem with Kimono rental (you were late going to kimono rental, kimono rental late to dress you up, you do not know how to book, you forgot to book etc). Bitter but I has to say to remind you, I am a photographer not your travel planner, I think by showing recommendation I am already kind so please do not ask too much and be responsible for your self (saying this because there is 1 among 1000 clients is not nice person) so please do not misunderstand!
  2. Ideally you can book them 1 hour before photo session with me, if place is far then 2 hours but if you are not sure you can ask me.
