Visiting famous spots is wonderful — but the real magic often happens in between.
Let’s capture your Japan days as they truly are:
the laughter while walking through Kyoto’s narrow streets,
the warmth of a shared meal in Osaka,
a quiet moment by the sea in Kobe,
or a family stroll through the calm nature of Nara.
Based in Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara,
I offer relaxed, documentary-style sessions that focus on connection, not posing —
so you can relive your family adventure in Japan for years to come.

Hi, I'm Linda,
Hey friend! I’m Madoka — but you can call me Linda.
I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara, and also a mom of two (ages 5 and 0).
Being in the middle of raising little ones myself, I truly understand how unpredictable — and precious — those family moments can be.
My sessions are stress-free, warm, and full of genuine connection.
Whether we’re playing in a park, strolling through Kyoto’s old streets, or watching the sunset by the sea, I’ll capture your family just as you are — relaxed, natural, and full of love.
Having lived in Australia and Paraguay, I speak English and Spanish, and love meeting families from all over the world.
Let’s create photos that feel like your story — full of laughter, tenderness, and life.

Linda has a wonderful way of capturing natural smiles and genuine moments, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
Having a young daughter of her own, she knew exactly how to engage with our kids in a playful and fun manner to keep things exciting.
in Namba, Osaka
During the photo shoot, Madoka's warm demeanor made us feel comfortable and at ease. It was so natural as if travelling with a new good friend, sharing culture and experiences, creating moments filled with laughter and resulting in truly amazing photos that captured the essence of our family beautifully.
at Ktsuoji Temple, osaka
I emailed her and she requested a zoom meeting to discuss about the photoshoot. She was very thorough and well informed about the recommended photo spots. She was professional, friendly and patient. We love all of the photo results, they are amazing. If you are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Kado Madoka.
