History
Established in 2011.
Years ago, I was a professional race car driver. I founded a racing school for women and was among the first women in the country to compete at a professional level in the drifting arena. After years of being in the limelight, I switched sides of the camera and started photographing my racing students. Next to racing my car and teaching my students, I loved taking photos.
My friends got me a DSLR camera for my birthday. It was then when I decided to become a professional photographer. I've since given birth to 4 daughters and continue to grow my racing school for women and have completed 11 successful years of my professional photography business.
Origin
My middle name (and my grandma's name) is "Sachiko." In Japanese, it means happiness. Photography IS happiness for me and through photos, my clients find happiness.

My Loves
I love life and cherry blossoms, cute shoes, anything that will make my race car look girly and go fast, my arsenal of eyeshadow, haribo gummy bears, anything canon, target, my extra hot double tall zebra soy mocha with no whipped cream, cheesecake factory, vintage purses, sex & the city, japanese washi paper, rose gold, kettle corn, being a foodie, yoga, my iphone, typefaces, the color magenta and good customer service.
Behind the Scenes
When I am not behind the camera, you can find me editing photos in my home office with a baby on my lap, holding instructional workshops for aspiring photographers, or in the classroom, garage and track teaching aspiring woman race car drivers. In my free time, you'll find me at the spa, shopping on Amazon.com, watching some reality shows, and spending time with my four beautiful daughters, Callista, Sabine, Elise & Kristy, and extremely supportive husband, Benson. I do it all and love it all! You can do anything you put your mind to.
