Overall had a great experience! Vivian is very thoughtful in both photo taking and in choosing locations. The areas in the bamboo forest she brought us to were not only beautiful but off the beaten path. Cant recommend this experience enough!

Biography
Hi, I’m Vivian, a Kyoto-based photographer with Brazilian and Japanese roots.
With over eight years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing more than 500 travelers from all over the world. I specialize in portrait, couple, and family photoshoots, and my goal is to turn your trip into beautiful memories you can cherish for a lifetime.
My photography style is natural, timeless, and emotion-driven. I focus on capturing genuine moments, whether it’s a quiet connection, a joyful laugh, or a shared family moment. Many of my guests tell me they feel comfortable and supported during the session, even if they have never done a professional photoshoot before. I guide you step by step while always listening to your wishes and bringing your vision to life.
Based in Kyoto, I mainly work across the Kansai area, including Kyoto and Osaka. Being half Japanese and half Brazilian allows me to connect easily with people from different cultures and create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere throughout the experience.
If you’re looking for thoughtful guidance, beautiful storytelling, and photos that truly reflect your journey, I would love to photograph your time in Japan and help you create memories that will last forever.

What clients are saying about Vivian.
We had such an amazing experience during our photo session! Vivian was super professional, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable the whole time. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful — natural, elegant, and full of emotion. Couldn’t be happier with the results! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and creative photographer 🌟📸
We had an amazing couple photoshoot in Kyoto with Vivian! She has a wonderful personality and made us feel comfortable right away. She found beautiful, less crowded spots around the 10,000 Torii gates and the bamboo forest, and guided us gently on how to pose so the photos came out natural and flattering. She also shared great local recommendations, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend her simply fantastic! ❤️
