Akemi Captures Photography

Documentary-style storytelling portraits for women and artists

My name is Akemi, and I’d love to be a part of your photography journey.

I offer documentary-style portrait sessions for individuals, artists, and couples who want images that feel honest and unforced. These sessions are less about posing and more about spending time together—whether that’s in your studio, at home, or out in the world—and creating photographs that reflect who you are in this season of life.

Portraits:
