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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q : I'm not good in front of the camera, will I be okay?

Don’t worry! It’s completely normal to feel nervous. I’ll guide you throughout the shoot, providing natural posing tips to help you feel confident and relaxed. You’ll look and feel amazing in every photo, even if you’re not used to being in front of the camera.

Q : How long does the session last?

Most sessions last around 60–90 minutes, giving us plenty of time for a mix of candid and posed shots, without feeling rushed.

Q : What locations do you shoot at?

I have a cozy studio for indoor shoots, and I know some amazing spots for outdoor sessions, like beautiful Gold Coast beaches, parks, forest-like areas, and open fields. If you have a special location in mind, we can shoot there too, or even at your home! If you're not sure where to go, no worries—I’ll help you choose the perfect place based on your style.

Q : What happens if it rains?

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can either reschedule or move to a studio. I’ll keep in touch leading up to your session to discuss options, so you’re never left guessing

Q : Do you offer prints or albums?

Yes! I offer a range of print products, including albums, prints, and framed photos. I’ll help you choose the perfect products to preserve and display your memories.

Q : What’s the best time for an outdoor photoshoot?

Sunset Photo Sessions (Golden Hour): The last hour before sunset is the best time for dreamy, glowing photos. The soft, golden light flatters all skin tones and adds warmth to your images. If you love a natural, radiant look, this is the perfect time for your session.

We’ll have a consultation beforehand to choose the best time and location for your session to ensure everything goes smoothly.
