Kirakira Artistry: Atelier
ON LOCATION portrait PHOTOGRAPHY & styling
Based in nj, USA
Our name, "Kirakira," which means "sparkling" in Japanese, traces back to our beginnings in Kyoto, Japan. It reflects the bright, joyful SPIRIT that inspires our colorful aesthetic.
I’m Kyami, a passionate portrait photographer, kimono stylist, HMUA and tsumami zaiku artist based in New Jersey whose photography and retouching style plays on the edge of whimsy. My portrait experiences are my canvas, where I bring all of the skills I’ve cultivated over the years to create something magical and personalized for the person being photographed. Even it’s your first time being photographed or you’re feeling a little nervous, just remember: Your job is simply to be present. It’s my job to bring out your sparkle!

VIEW our imagery
Kyami was wonderful to work with. This was our son's first experience like this and it was great. The pictures are gorgeous and will be treasured by our family forever...
My inner child has never glowed brighter than with Kyami. Her devotion and passion to bringing visions to life is unparalleled! I have never felt so fierce, empowered and stunning as I have when in her hands.
... I am personally very self conscious; but within moments of speaking with Kyami and finding the right look, I am joking around and feeling absolutely confident about myself. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better time and I can’t wait to go back!
