“I chose Ayaka after seeing how beautiful her photos were online. We hired her for our newborn shoot, and she is now doing our third set of family photos in less than a year and I have already referred her to all of my friends in Chicago area. She is very easy to work with, after communication and reliability with other photographers in the past being a nightmare. She is extremely professional and makes the whole family (including the dog) feel comfortable without the cheesy awkward photos and poses. Her photos are beautiful and we will always choose her for our photos. Highly recommend!”
