Have you worked with me before?
I'd love to know about your experience! Genuine feedback is so important for small businesses ! Please let me and others know if I captured everything you were hoping for! There are two locations you can leave a review! Please choose whichever is more convenient for you! (or both if you're feeling generous !)
“Chelsea is a true gem of a photographer. She has captured so many timeless moments for my family from maternity to newborn and on. She brings magic to her portraits and puts her attention into capturing those beautiful moments despite unpredictable circumstances or situations. If you're thinking about having a memory in portrait form, Natsukashii photography is the only way to go.
Thank you Chelsea!”
“You can truly feel the love, excitement, passion, and effort she puts into every step and I think that's talent in itself. I am a shy girl, but during the photoshoot, she made sure I opened up (by being goofy with me) so we could get the best results possible. I don't usually write reviews, but this one I had to. I just had to share her amazing work ethic, personality, and everything. Words won't ever be able to describe how amazing and memorable my experience was with her.”
“My husband and I have worked with Chelsea twice in the span of a few months. We drive over 2 hours each time and the first time being for a 7am Sakura session. I wouldn't change it for the world as she is an amazing photographer!! The photos and prices speak for themselves. So glad we met her and we can't wait to work with her next. She is a great person and friend and makes the sessions so easy!!”
“Chelsea is such an amazing photographer and so sweet! We had to reschedule our session due to some unforeseen circumstances & she was amazing and worked around our crazy schedules. Our pictures are gorgeous & something I will treasure forever”
“She is so incredibly talented and THE best photographer on Yokota AFB. Here are some photos from the 3 various location senior photo shoot package throughout the year. We absolutely love every single picture she was able to capture”
“When I received our birth story photos l cried happy tears! She captured our baby’s birth so beautifully and you can really see the story/emotions unfold in the photos. I know I’ll treasure them forever!
I’m so thankful for her work! You can easily see how much she loves what she does and the pride she takes in her work shows.
10/10 would recommend!”
“Absolutely loved having Chelsea as our photographer for Maternity pictures! My husband and I are both a little camera shy, but she made us feel comfortable the entire time. She is incredibly responsive to messages and I believe her work speaks for itself! Thank you Chelsea for these beautiful images we will always treasure.”
“*Update*
We were able to work with Chelsea again, this time for our family Fuji session. This is our third time working with her, so I’m just here to say, she is still the best person and the most amazing photographer! I whole heartedly believe that what you’re paying, and for her quality of work, it’s an absolute steal. And the best part is that you get to work with the most amazing person to capture your precious moments! HIGHLY recommend!”
“Working with Chelsea has been such a pleasure. Not only is she so responsive, but she’s just genuine. She takes the time to talk you through everything and be personable. I loved “virtually” meeting her and meeting her in person was even better. She made me feel so comfortable during my maternity photos and seeing the after product I am blown away. Not only was the location stunning but I felt beautiful and not forced to look a certain way. I know I will cherish these photos forever!”
“Chelsea did an AMAZING job with our photoshoot! My husband and I followed her out to Kamakura temple area right outside Enoshima and it was so worth it! She had everything planned out from the start with doing the temple first and then going to capture some beautiful beach pictures with the sunset behind us. She even told us a little bit about the area and the cute shops around there! I’m in love with all of the photos and we can’t wait to book her for our little one's first birthday!”
“She’s amazing! Very professional and such a sweet person, she made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She delivered the exact vision we were going for! We love our photos so much.”
“I used Chelsea for maternity and fresh 48! She made each experience so special! Especially with my husband not being the biggest fan of getting his picture taken, each session was such a relaxed and comfy environment. She got amazing shots and I’m so happy to have these moments to cherish forever!!”
“Chelsea captured some of the last moments of my breastfeeding journey & I can’t begin to explain how thankful I am for these photos. They were so beautifully done & I will hold them dear to my heart. She is so talented, I can’t recommend her enough!”
“From the moment we learned we were expecting our rainbow baby, we had our hearts set on Natsukashii Photography for capturing our maternity photos. Chelsea was incredibly easy & fun to work with. She was flexible with a short notice location change, she endured the blistering August heat in Japan, & provided my choice of 2 dresses from her client closet for our shoot. Thanks to her, we now have STUNNING photos celebrating one of the most special times in our lives that we will cherish forever.”
“Chelsea was so amazing! We had originally scheduled a maternity shoot during my 38th week, but my little guy had different plans. She was able to convert my deposit to a fresh 48 shoot and the results were better than I could have dreamed. She was able to captured all the little details and moments with such ease. I will forever treasure the pictures Chelsea took for us of our baby.”
“I ordered some gorgeous prints from Chelsea’s print shop, and they are absolutely stunning!!! 🤩 Chelsea is always a pleasure to work with. When my prints originally arrived with some very minor shipping damages, Chelsea worked tirelessly to get them replaced without me even needing to ask! She takes so much pride in her work that she did not accept anything less than perfection from her suppliers.”
“Booked with Chelsea for a maternity session and she was so personable and truly is a sweetheart. Her communication is unmatched and the dedication she has to her work and clients shows in her beautiful photos. So grateful I came across her and would recommend her to anyone!”
“So so so happy we chose Chelsea for our maternity pictures! She was super attentive with all of my questions since the very beginning. I’m living in Yokosuka and she made the trip out to kamakura to make our session closer to us. She’s super sweet and very talented. I highly recommend and hope to contract her again in the future.”
“She was absolutely amazing and professional! She worked with us and kept up our energy. It was an enjoyable time for sure. She was able to work around our schedule and was able to work around rain days as well. And the photos turned out amazing! Thanks again, it is extremely appreciated. Now we have updated photographs for our families. ❤”
“If I could rate her higher I would! Chelsea was incredible, she made the shoot so effortless and fun! The photos were amazing, I’m obsessed with all of them. I loved working with her so much I have already booked another shoot!”
“Natsukashii Photography is AMAZING! It only took me looking at two of her photos on her website before I was booking my 25th Birthday photo shoot. Her work is amazing. Chelsea is also amazing she went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure I had a great photo shoot. I'm absolutely obsessed with my photos and happy with the results. I definitely will be booking with her again in the future.”
“Chelsea of Natsukashii Photography is amazing. Pregnancy can be so stressful and challenging and it seemed like maternity photos was just one extra thing on a list of a million things to do before baby gets here, but she made the whole process so easy and fun! I am SO glad we chose her to capture our pregnancy journey. She is kind, professional, responsive and so helpful. Our photos are beautiful and they just speak to how truly talented she is. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much, Chelsea!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Natsukashii Photography.
I saw her photos floating around the community pages and knew I needed her to capture my pregnancy. We are so happy we chose her.
Journey to motherhood is difficult and we don’t always feel our best, getting used to a new body is strange but Chelsea made everything look so wonderful and the session was comfortable and fun. Her passion is contagious!”
“My photos came out great, and I am so grateful to have my photos done by Chelsea! She went above and beyond as a photographer to commemorate my graduation. Even though the rainy season made scheduling difficult, she was very patient and flexible, ensuring I got the allotted time for my shoot. Natsukashii is very professional, and I would recommend anyone looking to have pictures done, contact Chelsea!”
“Choosing Chelsea to take our family pictures was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I had done a lot of searching for a photographer who could capture our first family photos after the loss of our daughter and one who had the capabilities to include special and endearing images that would honor our daughter's memory. Chelsea was the only photographer I trusted and she surpassed all of my expectations. Chelsea was able to take our grief and transform it into loving and beautiful memories.”
“Chelsea was amazing with my nervous senior! She made her feel comfortable which resulted in beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever! Thank you.”
“Chelsea and I did the most fun shoot at a cute little studio! I wanted some headshots, but also some business lifestyle shots to showcase how I work from home. My goal was a light and airy look that encompassed the cozy and comfort of working from home! She absolutely far exceeded the expectations I had set for these photos. They came out perfectly and are going to be an amazing tool for me to utilize within my business and social media! Would recommend her without a doubt and will book again in the future!”
