Let's Create Together

Portraits that celebrate your journey, story and beauty

Let me capture timeless images that celebrate YOU—your story, your essence, and every exciting stage of life!

Meet the Photographer

Hi There!
Nice to Meet You

I'm Yoko and a portrait photographer based on the Gold Coast. From headshots to weddings, I love capturing all genres of photography. My biggest passion is helping people feel good about themselves and love who they are through my photography.

I've heard that 99% of people feel they're not photogenic and, as a result, feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, just like me!

My mission as a photographer is to make you feel at ease and capture the most confident and beautiful photos of you.

Last year marked my 10th anniversary in photography, and it's been an incredible journey. Photography isn't just a job for me—it's my passion. It's my way of celebrating the beauty of life in all its forms.

Over the past decade, I've had the honor of capturing countless moments for people in the Gold Coast/Brisbane area. But what truly makes this journey fulfilling are the incredible people I've met along the way.

I probably haven't met you yet! But I'm here to connect, collaborate, and create something special together. Feel free to contact me for any photography needs. I look forward to capturing your story!

We have had so many people comment on our pictures saying they are the most beautiful wedding photos they have seen! Thank you so much Yoko!

Yoko is amazing! We will never be able to say thank-you enough for her incredible work at capturing the most important day of our lives. Our wedding photos turned out so great, but not only is Yoko very talented, she has the most wonderful personality and was such a joy to have with us on the day. She really made us feel so comfortable, and it was like having a long time friend with us on the day!  Thank-you so much Yoko!

Yoko was professional, yet so friendly and made Emily Cabana & I feel comfortable and relaxed. She took great care in capturing beautiful photos and we had loads of fun playing dress ups & creating mother / daughter precious memories. Thank you Yoko, you are amazing!

“I highly recommend Yoko, especially if you feel a bit awkward in front of the camera like I did!!. ”
 

I had such a great time in my photo shoot with Yoko! She is creative and very adaptable, and has a really good eye! I asked her if I could have 'branding' photos, which Yoko delivered! I feel she captured the essence of my new brand, and it was so so fun! Thank you Yoko not only for the photos, but for the experience, the care, attention to detail and encouragement you gave during the shoot!!

Yoko captured the emotion and love during our special day and she was absolutely amazing to work with.

Yoko was our photographer for our wedding in March and the photos are absolutely stunning. Yoko captured the emotion and love during our special day and she was absolutely amazing to work with. We felt comfortable and at ease with Yoko and none of the photos felt posed or awkward. Yoko is an incredible photographer and we highly recommend her xoxo

I was blown away by the standard of the finished photos. Exceptional work.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Yokosphotography. Yoko made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, and showed me how to position myself for a better shot. She was patient and extremely professional during the shoot and I was blown away by the standard of the finished photos. Exceptional work.

In my opinion Yoko is an incredibly talented artist. Thanks so very much.
