A Kyoto afternoon 🌤, sunlight filtering through the leaves 🌿, casting a warm glow on the ancient buildings. Dressed in matching kimonos with my little one 👘, every glance, every smile, a testament to love and warmth 💕. I adore this set of kimono family photos, making our Kyoto trip truly precious 🎐. 🎀Kiyomizu-dera Temple Kimono Family Photo Guide🎀 🌸Choosing a Kimono Rental Shop: Opt for a shop near Kiyomizu-dera Temple. 🌸Selecting Kimonos: Choose colors based on your preferences and the setting. Vibrant colors like red and pink tend to photograph well. 🌸Booking an Appointment: Book your appointment with the kimono rental shop in advance. If hiring a photographer, discuss the time and shooting location beforehand. 🌸Using Props: Carry an oil-paper umbrella, take small steps together, or gaze down at your feet while holding the umbrella. Paper fans can also be used. 🌸Posing Ideas: Crouch down to your child's eye level, hold hands, hug, or look at the camera together. 🌸Time Management: Allow ample time for changing into kimonos and hairstyling (generally 1–2 hours). Be mindful of the kimono return time. 🌸Keeping Children Happy: Bring your child's shoes and snacks. Let them wear comfortable shoes during the shoot and use snacks to keep them happy and cooperative. 🌸Lighting Tips: Morning or evening light is soft. Side lighting or backlighting can add depth and dimension. Avoid harsh midday sun. 📍Shooting Location: Near Kodai-ji Temple (close to Kiyomizu-dera, less crowded and more peaceful) 📸Photography: Chumoy Family Kimono Photography Studio
