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 women 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!
If you need sharp, professional profile photos...
that represent the value and service you deliver but you don't need a full branding session,
You have landed in the right place
This simple shoot is for the professional, entrepreneur or start-up who needs to freshen up their social profiles and business pages, whilst still looking like you!
Best of all, we have taken care of all the planning and organisation for you, professional hair & makeup, a clean and modern styled home, all you need to do is turn up and let our team do the rest (saving you $100's and many hours having to sort all this out yourself!)
And after our shoot together you can simply choose the images you need and want. EASY!
“I’m not photogenic.”
Almost everyone says that.
If you feel the same way, you’re not alone.
Have a look at how it works.
If You’re Anything Like My Clients...
You’ve probably been putting off a branding shoot because the thought of posing feels unnatural.
Or maybe you’ve been using the same few photos for years because you don’t want to look too “staged.”
You’re not alone.
Most of the women I work with describe themselves as introverted, thoughtful, or simply not comfortable in front of a camera - yet they’re brilliant at what they do.
The truth is, visibility doesn’t have to feel loud or uncomfortable. It can be graceful, intentional, and deeply you.

The Images I Create Can Be Used For...
Your website.
Your marketing.
Your social media.
Your next launch, your speaking engagements, or even your podcast artwork.
These images become the visual language of your brand - honest, consistent, and confident - helping people connect with you before you even say a word.
Because showing up with authenticity doesn’t mean changing who you are. It means being seen for it.
What's Included?
1. Schedule
Let’s book a day that suits you! Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive guidance on how to prepare and what to wear. I’ll make sure you know everything you need to get the most out of your photoshoot experience.
2. Hair, Makeup &
Guided Studio Session
Fully guided 45-minute studio photoshoot (yes, 45 minutes is all you need!).
I have a studio with kitchen and modern living-space settings, so your images feel authentic, lifestyle-focused, and professional. Just bring your outfits and relax. I’ll take care of the rest.
Professional hair and makeup can also be arranged if you’d like an extra confidence boost.
3. Select & Download
Review your fully edited images in a private online gallery once they’re ready. Simply make your selections, all from the comfort of your own office or lounge! You’ll be ready to start sharing with confidence.
I can also make it even punchier for social media if you want.
This is for you if...
You’re a woman in business who’s quietly passionate about what you do but hesitant to be the face of it.
You’re ready to have a visual presence that feels genuine - not staged or forced.
You want your clients to see your warmth, integrity, and professionalism without needing to shout about it.
You’ve outgrown the old version of your brand and are ready to step into your next chapter with confidence.
You want photos that reflect your expertise, your calm presence, and the depth behind your work.

“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.

“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!!

A Quiet Observer
I understand what it’s like to prefer being behind the scenes, yet still need to show up for your business.
That’s why I approach every session with patience and care.
I don’t over-direct or chase perfection.
My goal is to help you settle into yourself, and that’s where your natural confidence appears.
You don’t need to be louder to stand out.
You just need to be seen, simply and sincerely.
We’re So Excited!
Simply fill this out and we’ll be in touch to plan your session.
