Her daughter Azuki's seven-three-three, 1: Let's take a cute picture in the previous shot @ LOVST PHOTO STUDIO Kachidoki Riverside store

[Edamame] October 29, 2018 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.



I'd like to send it in a series for a while from this time.

It's the fall of 3 years old, my daughter Azuki.

There are many things to prepare for kindergarten entrance for next spring ...

There's an important event.

That's right. It's seven five three.

It is a celebration that such a small baby has turned 3 years old safely.

There are a lot of things like kimonos, visiting, and going to eat dinners ...

I would like to write about such a thing about Azuki's Shichigosan.


##################

That's why the first time in the series.

This is the story of the previous shooting in the photo studio.

"I took a picture."

I hear it at weddings, etc., before the actual ceremony or the visit date of Shichigosan this time.

It's about taking pictures on a different schedule.

Especially in the case of Shichigosan, children take pictures with kimonos that they are unfamiliar with and come to visit as they are.

By tightening in the band for a long time

I can see that it's painful, painful, unsatisfied explosion, and a fuss ...

It seems that there are many houses that choose to take the front in the photo studio.


There are many places like photography studios.

I decided to ask you this time

"LOVST PHOTO STUDIO" located in Kachidoki.

Actually, I've always been worried about it.

A high school friend living in the Tsukishima area goes to Facebook.

I was uploading my son Kun (currently 5 years old)'s birthday and photos of Shichigosan.

Well, it's pretty.

I thought it would be nice to have a photo with a natural expression.

When I asked, "Where did you take this picture?", He told me that it was here.

And ... if I told a local mom friend that I decided to ask here

"Actually, I took a picture there. The follow-up of the staff was wonderful. "

"I heard that it's really good!"

It was also very popular in the Hamacho area, which should be a little far from Kachidoki.


Well, on the day.

I got up early and headed for Kachidoki because it was shooting first in the morning.

That's right. Time is strict.

Please note that when you are late = your child's shooting time will decrease accordingly.

When you arrive at the studio, you first choose a kimono, wear it, and make-up.

IMG_2889-1.jpg

Some types of antique kimonos are available in the studio here.

Azuki's select item with purple color this time.

This time, it will be a photo shoot in a kimono, so within the price.

It was very attractive to include "children's hair set & simple makeup & kimono rental & dressing".

(There are places where you can wear clothes and hair sets in the outside beauty salon before coming to the studio.)


That's why it's the first hair and makeup experience in my life.

In the first place, I only say "Yada" at first.

(Although it is also called the basic setting for 3-year-olds.)

But are you worried about what your sister in charge of hair and makeup does?

He said, "Yada," but sat in a chair and had his hair curled.

IMG_2878-1.jpg


When the hair set and makeup (also a little bit of cheeks) are over ...

Finally, the shooting starts!

IMG_2898-1.jpg

I understand after the shooting started.

LOVST staff, the technique to bring out the smiles of children is tremendously wonderful.

That's right.

A child of this age first said, "I don't look at the camera."

And "I'm going to take a picture."

When you shoot for a long time, you'll get tired and get rid of it.

It often occurs when my mother shoots (tears).

A technique that makes full use of the voice and props to avoid it.

This is a professional! I showed you a lot of things like that.

IMG_2899-1.jpg


My mother Edamame's favorite is this scene.

IMG_2915-1.jpg

The back of the red flower was so colorful that I liked it.


Next, I'm playing the ball with a prop handball.

IMG_2916-1.jpg

I'd like a so-called sweeping photo, but I'd like to see it.

By shooting with the feeling of playing, many photos of natural smiles were created.

I like him as a mother Edamame.

If you are in good mood (= I have enough time), you can also change your clothes into Western clothes (girls dresses).

Azuki likes the pink, fluffy dress at a glance. I'm a girl.

IMG_2929-1.jpg

I tried to change the atmosphere by lowering my hair a little.

IMG_2931-1.jpg

I chose the scene with the book because it's a kid who loves picture books.

"You can bring your favorite stuffed animals so that you can take pictures in a good mood."

That's why Kuma-kun, who came from us, is with me.

In such a situation, I was able to finish all shooting with a smile of Nikko Nico.


That's right. Here, it is wonderful to be able to get all the shooting data using LINE on the day of shooting!

(In some places, you can only get a print request, and there are times when it comes to a long time.)

I'd like to send you the data in the CD-ROM at a later date.

It is a world where there are many friends and relatives who have smartphones.

It's very convenient to be able to share photos taken easily.

And you can get "all images" ... 130 images came to my home!

There are 10 monochrome-processed ones plus a total of 140 pieces! ! !

The fact that I was able to take a lot of photos that the shooting went smoothly with a good child, but it was a very satisfying shooting.



IMG_2939-1.jpg

If you wish, you can also make optional products such as calendars and photo books.

I'm looking forward to it.

Actually, Azuki who came to introduce a friend is a referral privilege.

We had you make "half a year's calendar (for one A4 size)".

And I was a little excited and the photo book too!

I'm looking forward to it.


Of course, there are a lot of kimonos and dresses not only for 3 years old but also for bigger children.

The next opportunity (7 years old, 753?) Commemorative graduation of kindergarten? ?) I would like to use it.

I'd like to look forward to that time!

Birds of Tokyo, winter birds fly for the first time this year! So, what are the birds in the ward?

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] October 28, 2018 14:00

The gull, designated as a bird in Tokyo, flew again this year. According to the rabbit birdwatching for the last three years, they come here in Chuo-ku around October 20 every year.

 

Yurikamome 1.jpg 

When I found it, I was resting about eight birds, but I flew during the photography time and only two birds remained.

 

Yurikamome 2.jpgTokyo bird "Yurikamome" (Shinagawa-ku bird) 

 

Looking at how the Japanese turtle was designated as a bird in Tokyo, it was designated in 1965, and it was designated as the first place in the postcard voting by Tokyo residents from pheasants, starlings, Japanese white-eye, etc. . By the way, the second place is Japanese white-eye and the third place is Hibari.

 

So what are the birds in the ward designated?

In the 23 wards, only four wards were designated as birds in the ward: Japanese plums in Shinagawa-ku, Onaga in Setagaya-ku, swan in Chiyoda-ku, and Japanese tit in Meguro-ku.

 

Onaga. jpgThe bird "Onaga" in Setagaya-ku

 

The picture is a naga that I took in Tsukuda last month. The feathers are muffy because they are the young man of adult bird who has just nested. It is a member of the crow, but it is a beautiful bird with a black head and a long tail, and can be found in the trees of Akashicho and Tsukuda Park in Chuo-ku. The voice is characterized by giggy, so if you think it's a strange voice, look for it and look.

 

Swan. jpgThe bird "Swan" in Chiyoda-ku 

 

The photo shows a mute swan in the moat of the Imperial Palace. These swans are not found in Chuo-ku.

 


Japanese tit. jpgThe bird "Japanese tit" in Meguro-ku

 

Citrus screams with a clear voice. This photo was found in a squeal near the Chuo-ku ward office. I'm in such a place! I was so happy. It is a bird that appears relatively in the city.

 

It is a pity that birds in Chuo-ku are not designated, but birds in each ward can be easily seen in Chuo-ku. From now on, the day when the plums will fly more and more, and the fence of the Sumida River Terrace will be full is almost ready.

Thirteen Nights

[Sam] October 22, 2018 12:00

DSC07413ELS'.jpgThirteen Nights G.png October 21 is the 13th Night of old calendar, which corresponds to September 13.

It is also known as "Kuriname Moon" and "Mamename Moon".

"Fifteen nights" is called "the previous month", "thirteen nights" is called "later moon", and two moons are collectively called "two nights". It is said that he hated.

Around September 13 in old calendar, the climate is generally fresh, and we have heard that there is no cloudy on the thirteenth night.

On the 21st, the Japanese Islands were widely covered with high pressures, and the fine autumn weather was calm, and the moon of "Thirteen Nights" shines above the lit-up windows of Kachidokibashi and Kachidoki skyscrapers. .

The "Thirteen Nights" is one step before the full moon.

The love of the moon with a slightly missing shape is one example of the emergence of the unique aesthetic sense of Japanese that has been handed down since ancient times.

 

 

What autumn can you enjoy in the Harumi / Tsukishima area?

[Hanes] October 18, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The 66th Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival is currently being held in Chuo-ku.
The other day, I went to Harumi Island Triton Square to see "Flower Carpet Harumi 2018" which was part of that.

Thumbnail image of SHJ.jpg

Harumi has gained more and more attention with the creation of Olympic athlete villages.
Perhaps because of that, this year's theme is "Sports Flower Carpets"
The figures of the players who fascinated the world in the famous scenes that were both memorable and recorded were reproduced with colorful petals.
It can be seen from a distance or a distance, and the dynamism of the players is transmitted.

Thumbnail image of IMG_2424-1.jpg

This flower carpet looks like the fall of sports and the fall of art are fused.
I'm still working on it, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it will be by the Grand Finale on the 16th (Tuesday).

SHJ2.jpg

After that, I looked into the "Harumi Harukko Autumn Festival" held on the cherry blossom promenade and the water terrace.
The character show is crowded with families so that people can get crowded on the second floor.
There are many gourmet foods that invite the appetite unique to autumn of appetite in delicious food stalls!

IMG_2429-1.jpg

After enjoying the autumn in the Harumi area in this way, we enjoyed the autumn.
To the marche of the Sun, one of Japan's largest urban-type marche held at Tsukishima Daini Children's Park
This marche is a place where "eat, buy, learn, and experience" are united and serve as food education.
The theme of October is "Autumn taste gathering from all over the country"!
A selection of farmers from all over the country gather, all of which are high-quality shops.
There is also a gourmet that a certain entertainer ate and praised, and I wanted to visit again.

marche of the sun jpg

Harumi and Tsukishima introduced this time are located a little far away from Ginza and Nihonbashi.
I think there's a lot of access by subway.
However, another means of transportation that I would like to propose at such a time is the Edo Bus, a community bus in Chuo-ku.

Edo_bus.jpg

This bus has a north circulation (in the direction of Nihonbashi) and a south circulation (in the direction of Tsukiji, Tsukishima, Kachidoki).
It is easy to understand how to make free connections between the north circulation and the south circulation, and I often use it recently!
It is recommended because you can travel cheaper than trains and metropolitan buses (100 yen one way for adults), and you can enjoy the scenery of Chuo-ku.
When using the service, please find the autumn of Chuo-ku from the train window.
