We had an amazing photoshoot experience in Kyoto and highly recommend Mimir for both solo and group/family photoshoots! He was accommodating from the start, helping us find a kimono rental nearby and adjusting the meeting time when it took us longer than expected to get dressed. He was patient with the kids, which made it easy for my sister to get beautiful shots with them, and he organized the session so we had both family and solo portraits. He guided us with poses, brought props like an umbrella and fan for variety, and chose hidden alleys that captured authentic Kyoto life instead of crowded tourist backdrops. He was kind, easy to talk to, and delivered the photos within just 2 days. We couldn’t be happier with the results.
