Totte’s Photography Plans — Features & Details
No Extra Fees for Group Size
There’s no maximum number of people in a session, and no extra fee for larger groups — whether it’s a multi-generation family or a shoot with several families.
For groups of 10 or more, we recommend booking a 1.5- or 2-hour plan so everyone can be comfortably photographed.
Flexible Locations Within the Session Time
You can change shooting locations within your booked session time, as long as they’re within the same city. Travel time is included in your session, but combinations like your hotel and a nearby park or two to three autumn spots in Jozankei are possible.
Weather Check & Rescheduling
We check the weather forecast the day before your session and will contact you if we think rescheduling might be needed.
If postponement isn’t possible due to your travel plans, we’ll do our best to adjust the session time to avoid the worst weather, so you can still enjoy your photoshoot.
Receive All Your Photos
You’ll receive all usable photos from your session, excluding any closed-eye shots or other unusable images.
Photos will be uploaded to a cloud storage service, and you’ll receive a download link to access them, making it easy to share with family and friends.
Professionally Edited Images
All photos are captured in high-quality RAW format and delivered as JPEGs.
Each image is carefully edited for brightness, color, and skin tone, with delivery typically taking 3–4 weeks.
No Extra Travel Fees Within Sapporo
We do not charge additional travel fees for locations within Sapporo (including Teine and Jozankei), and for shoots outside the city, we can travel anywhere in Hokkaido for a small additional fee based on distance.
Photographer
Hello, my name is Tota Yamada, the founder of totte_photography.
I began my career at a photography studio in Sapporo, capturing weddings, photo weddings, families, and portraits, before starting my own business in the fall of 2018.
Today, I photograph a wide range of sessions — from on-location shoots and bridal portraits to Shichi-Go-San and coming-of-age ceremonies. In recent years, inbound photography for visitors to Hokkaido has also grown significantly.
My style is relaxed and conversational. I rarely ask clients to “smile for the camera.” Instead, I capture natural moments as they unfold, creating photos that reflect the joy of the experience itself.
