Maiko Photo Shoot in Kyoto

Looking for a professional photographer in Kyoto to capture your time in Japan?


I offer relaxed, private photo shoots for solo travellers, couples, families and special occasions. Whether you’re exploring Kyoto in kimono, celebrating an engagement, travelling with someone you love, or simply want beautiful photographs of your time here, each session is tailored to you.


As a Kyoto-based photographer, I can help you choose locations that suit the photographs you’re looking for—from iconic landmarks to quieter corners of the city. During the shoot, my approach is relaxed and natural, creating space for genuine moments while making sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera.


Private photo shoots in Kyoto start from ¥20,000 for one hour. Sessions are also available in Osaka and other locations across Japan, with additional travel costs where applicable.


After your session, I’ll carefully select and edit the best photographs, giving you a collection of professionally finished images to remember your time in Japan.


I’m so glad I had Cindy take our graduation ceremony photos. She knew exactly how to capture the perfect moment of us being our natural selves. The result photos gave me so much joy. I hope to be able to work with her again some day.

I had a wonderful time with Cindy on our photoshoot. She chose all the perfect locations and took amazing photos to capture my memories. It was a pleasure to learn more about Cindy as we talked along the way and she really made the entire experience feel natural and as if we’re two friends going out. I also appreciated her flexibility with my schedule so I could get dressed beforehand in a yukata. There’s no one better than Cindy!

Cindy was AMAZING!! So made me feel super comfortable and helped me pose in my yukata. She’s down to earth and a great person to chat with while taking your pictures .

Cindy was super flexible regarding the time and location of the shoot. What I like most is that she was attentive to my requirements more than other photographers from the start (I was negotiating with a few others before booking her). Due to her interest and quick reply, I decided to book the appointment with her and it was great!

To say that the photoshoot was exhilarating would be an understatement. I think Cindy really worked magic in her photos. The experience was truly light, enjoyable, and memorable!

Cindy is not only an amazing photographer but just an amazing person to hang out with. She’s lived in Japan for a few years now and I can say that she navigates like a local. We went to three places today and she took the time to learn what kind of pictures I like and dislike. Not only is she willing to accommodate what you request, but she will try to go out of her way to make your experience more enjoyable. I had such a pleasant time with her! Looking forward to hanging out with you again, Cindy!
