I am a huge fan of Michio’s art. His art-form is not only photography & videography but also his exquisite ability to tell his subject’s story through his unique attention to detail and sensitivity to his client’s vision - he’s often the one to awaken that vision too with his huge generosity of spirit. “Working” with him always feels like hanging out with an old friend - it’s effortless and there is nothing else required other than to be yourself and be present as Michio captures his magic.

LEGACY PORTRAITS
A Legacy You’re Proud of.
Because what matters most deserves to be remembered.
This isn’t just a photo session. It’s a moment of pause in a fast-moving life. A breath. A reminder. A celebration. Legacy Portraits are about capturing the why behind everything you do — the people who motivate you, the memories you want to preserve, and the values you want to pass on.
We create timeless artwork that doesn’t just hang on the wall — it lives in your home as a daily reminder of what matters most.
This is more than a family portrait. It’s a legacy in the making. A visual heirloom that tells your story — now and for generations to come.
Because someday, these images won’t just be about who you are.
They’ll be about where your story began.
I’ve never liked being photographed, but Michio’s work inspired a family session. He listened, delivered, and added brilliant ideas. The results were incredible. Highly recommend!

Michio embraced my wild idea to capture all four seasons. These photos forged new connections between my mother and I.

WEDDINGS
Hawaii
A timeless celebration, preserved in artistry.
Because your love story deserves to be remembered the way it felt.
The flowers will fade. The dress will be packed away. But the way they looked at you as you walked down the aisle? The way your dad’s voice cracked during his toast? The quiet moment you stole together under the stars?
That’s what you’ll want to remember.
I don’t just capture what your wedding looked like. I preserve what it felt like — the joy, the nerves, the laughter, the sacredness of it all. Your wedding is the beginning of a new chapter, but it’s also the culmination of everything that brought you here.
This is your legacy of love.
Michio-san’s bright energy melted away our nerves, making the shoot so much fun—time just flew by! We were amazed watching him get soaked and covered in sand, all to capture every moment perfectly. His passion and dedication were truly inspiring!

WALL ART
Your Life, Framed Forever.
Quiet. Timeless. Yours.
There’s something powerful about walking past a moment that moves you — every single day.
Our custom wall art turns your most meaningful memories into pieces of timeless elegance. Not just photographs, but refined artwork designed to bring warmth, presence, and beauty into your space.
Curated with intention. Crafted to last.
Because some moments deserve more than a frame — they deserve a place in your home.
It was 3 weeks before I was scheduled to begin chemotherapy to fight the breast cancer. My family and I were already grieving the fact that I would lose my wavy red hair, in addition to the loss from the mastectomy. Michio gently suggested capturing this moment in our family's journey. Capturing grief actually turned to capturing hope. Michio's contagious smile and fearless courage inspired our family to smile and to laugh during the photo shoot as he captured one of the lowest moments for our family as a milestone of hope. Our family portrait will forever hang central in our home as a reminder to never give up hope and to always believe in God's greater purpose for our lives! (btw, a few weeks after our photo shoot, chemo was cancelled for me! Yet another miracle and answer to prayer reflected in our family portrait.)
Melissa, U.S.A
Our family has been extremely blessed to have Michio capture almost a decade of life through the unmatched skill of his art through photography. He elevated family parties, holidays, pet portraits, school projects, and senior portraits by listening to our desires, keying in to our personalities, and working on location in meaningful spots we call "home." He always brought a listening ear and a unique attention to detail resulting in what will be some of our family's greatest treasures for generations to come. Michio receives our highest recommendation for all of your photo needs!
