I’m not currently taking bookings for Okinawa photo shoots. These portfolio photos are from a family photo shoot at American Village in Okinawa in December 2025.

Hi, I’m author S.
First things first, let me show you a selection of photos so you can get a feel for my photography style. These were taken in December 2025 at American Village in Okinawa.
Really.. it’s a great place to shoot. The shopkeepers are helpful too.

Things to NoteThe children may wade into the water at the beach and stretch the shoot out, so I usually save the beach for last.

American Village Photo Shoot

One hour, from the beach all the way to the ice cream shop.

The family is moving through American Village.

That day.. there was a request, so I changed my usual shooting route quite a bit. I was told the kids love ice cream so much that once we stepped into the ice cream shop midway, we probably couldn’t keep going. So we started at the beach.

The children are playing on the beach.

Temperatures were high then, so even in the middle of winter, dipping your feet in is no problem.
Still, when I’m photographing kids, I try to do the beach last whenever I can. Because.. what starts as just dipping their feet in can turn into a full-blown disaster. Quite often. Very often, actually. Then the shoot drags on. And that throws off the next shoot. So, as a rule, the beach goes last..

The whole family poses together on the beach.

Shooting everything as candids would be great.. but there have to be some photos for framing too, so I do a few shots in this style as well.

A grandfather is with a child under the hot sun.

As I say every time.. grandfathers tend to hold back around children. Still, you can feel the love in this photo.

The grandfather and grandmother pose together.

I photographed them on their own. Just the two of them here.

This candid photo was taken on the move.

I grab a shot while we’re on the move too. Just a candid one.

The children pose together, just the kids.

I shoot the kids on their own too. Usually.. these shots are a bit.. hard to get. Leave kids to themselves and they usually all go off and do their own thing..

The group poses with concrete breakwater tetrapods in the background.

You need the tetrapods in the background to really get that seaside feel, right?

The children are riding a boat.

If the kids show interest, I shoot.. if they don’t, I just move on.

One child poses alone.

The original set has plenty of similar photos in this style too.

The children are getting along nicely.

My photos always have.. highly saturated colors. The saturation value in my default Lightroom preset is +12. Korean photo shoot photographers usually set saturation below zero, but I do the opposite.

This photo of a child has highly saturated colors.

People say highly saturated photos look tacky.. I guess this one must look tacky, then.

A grandfather lifts a child up at the snowman photo spot.

The snowman sculpture at the photo spot was tall.. so the grandfather lifted the child up.

This is a candid photo, taken naturally.

I just took it. I can’t quite say why, but it’s just pretty. I didn’t think much when choosing it either..

The babies are slapping a nutcracker figure.

The three babies.. ganged up on the nutcracker and beat it up. Every one of them was whacking it with their hands.

This photo was taken at my signature shooting spot.

Shooting here has pretty much become a fixture by now.

The children are choosing their ice cream.

I’m always here.. so there are even people I end up chatting with..

Someone is asking for a bite of the ice cream.

You have to do this kind of thing too, right?

The grandfather.. can’t bring himself to ask his granddaughter for “just one bite.” So I say it for him instead. Yep.

I’ve worked on lots of photos.. but I’ve cut back on how many I show here. With AI around.. it can copy what I’ve done and churn out similar photos in a flash.

Booking Info

I’m not taking bookings for Okinawa shoots right now.

I’m not currently taking bookings for Okinawa photo shoots. These photos were taken in December 2025, and this portfolio shows the kind of feel I go for at a beach or an amusement park. Photo shoots in Gyeongju are in full swing now, and I’m continuing to expand to other areas. This kind of feel is entirely possible in Korea too, and my base is Tongyeong, Geoje, Changwon, and western Busan 😀
An outdoor shoot is usually 250,000 KRW for 1 hour. You can find booking info and contact details on the Sarangbi Snap page.

●Frequently Asked Questions
  • No. I'm not currently taking bookings for Okinawa photo shoots, and I'm only shooting in Korea. If I have plans for Okinawa shoots later on, I'll announce them separately.
  • I shot them in December 2025 at American Village in Okinawa over the course of 1 hour. I took photos as we moved between the beach, the street, and an ice cream shop.
  • I'm not taking Okinawa shoots right now. For reference, an outdoor shoot is usually 250,000 KRW for 1 hour.
  • Photo shoots in Gyeongju are in full swing now, and I'm continuing to expand to other areas. My base is Tongyeong, Geoje, Changwon, and western Busan.
  • Kids who only mean to dip their feet very often end up playing in the water, which drags the shoot out. That throws off the next shoot, so I save the beach for last whenever I can. For this shoot, I started at the beach because I'd been told it might be hard to continue once we entered the ice cream shop.
  • If they show interest, I shoot, and if they don't, I move on without forcing it. Shooting everything as candids would be great, but I need photos for framing too, so I do a few shots in that style as well.
  • They're high-saturation photos. The saturation value in my default editing preset is +12. Korean photo shoot photographers usually lower the saturation, but I do the opposite.
