Since its launch in June 2020 as a "dog specialty" photography store, we have photographed a cumulative total of 3,571 dogs (*as of April 2024). We have photographed the day when you welcomed your dog, who is like a member of your family, on his/her birthday, or when you want to take a beautiful picture of him/her at least once.

I have photographed more than 3,500 dogs, but this is just a passing point, and I would like to continue photographing many more.

I have changed from being an exclusive photographer for a famous musician to a professional photographer.

　No strobe, no shutter sound! Bring out the charm of your dog with professional skills!

There is no stand or strobe, as is customary in dog photography. Dogs are allowed to take off their leashes and run around freely in the studio. The studio is popular for taking photos with a camera that does not make a shutter sound, so both the dog and the person are not nervous and can take photos in their natural state. Photo data is sent to your smartphone on the spot. Since photos can be immediately posted on social networking services, word of mouth spreads quickly, and this photo studio has evolved to meet the needs of the social networking age.

We have been taking photos of major music artists for their live performances and CD jackets, but our income has drastically decreased since the breakup of the artists. Sensing the dangers of passively undertaking work, he opened a photo studio but struggled to attract customers. One day, a customer voiced his concern that there were few photo studios where he could take pictures with dogs, so he started taking family portraits with dogs, and soon the studio was fully booked. The photo studio was renewed as a "dog specialty" at the timing of the opening of the emergency declaration of the Corona Disaster, and a new store was constructed and opened in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture in 2022. Cumulative number of participants: 3,571 dogs and 2,822 couples (as of 2024.4.27)

Currently, a new terrace space is under construction on the premises, and two new plans are scheduled to be launched in May 2024: a plan to take photos of dogs dashing around in an outside location, and a photo wedding with dogs.
