Yuka Schad Photography

Yuka and Miki were amazing when working with my toddler and newborn during our in-home photoshoot. Both were very professional throughout the whole process with great communication leading up to the photoshoot day. We absolutely love our photos and could not be any happier. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful shoot with Yuka and her assistant Naoko! They are true professionals and made the process so easy and stress-free for all of us. I love that they came to our home and photographed us in our natural space. We did some posed photos with a bigger focus on lifestyle photos and they turned out beautifully. Yuka respected our vision and also had her own ideas that elevated the shoot! They had an impressive set-up and I particularly loved how all of it was baby-led, nothing felt rushed or inconvenient, and Yuka brought a very calm demeanor that set the tone. I would recommend Yuka for your newborn photography needs 100%!

The photos Yuka captured are absolutely gorgeous!! I cannot believe how many amazing photos she got!! I really walked away from the session thinking she. might not have gotten any because of how difficult my youngest was being. Watching the slideshow she sent back made me tear up, it’s really so beautiful! Thank you again Yuka from the bottom of my heart for everything!! You are so very talented and have a very beautiful eye for meaningful photos!! 🙏

We were on a special family trip to California and wanted to capture the beach memories. Yuka did a wonderful job of creating a fun evening and beautiful photos. Her responsiveness and clarity of process were hugely appreciated when booking ahead. She took the time to understand which style and location of her images we particularly liked beforehand and was open to trying things on the day too. The shoot was relaxed, professional and well paced for our two young and energetic boys without ever feeling rushed. We can happily recommend working with Yuka. We love the final photos.

We were searching for a photographer to capture our maternity and newborn moments, and after thoroughly reviewing many photographers’ websites and portfolios, we chose Yuka. Her clear explanation of her process, outcomes, and pricing made us feel confident in our decision. We were absolutely delighted with the maternity and newborn photos! Yuka’s friendly and accommodating nature, coupled with her willingness to provide recommendations and her efficient photoshoot style, made the experience truly special. We’re considering having another child just so we can work with her again! 🙂

We recently visited San Diego and Yuka photographed my family on our vacation. We had the best experience working with her and her team. Thank you, Yuka, for everything you did to make our shoot day so special. From the moment we booked with Yuka she was so helpful—she helped to coordinate our outfits, she recommended different shoot locations, and so much more. During the shoot she knew exactly how to make my 4 year old smile and she was so so patient and kind. Delivery of the final photos was fast and the pics are incredible! Yuka is so talented. I would definitely recommend working with her 💛

We had many of our family photos taken by Yuka. I am not photogenic and I always felt awkward having my photos taken, but Yuka turned the experience from dreadful to joy. We felt very comfortable having our family photos taken by her. She takes both natural pictures and also posed photos which is nice variety. If you're looking for great memories to be preserved, I wholeheartedly recommend Yuka.
