Welcome to

Chizu Takakura Photography

Hi, I'm Chizu.
I'm a lifestyle photographer based in Austin, Texas, passionate about capturing genuine, unrepeatable moments of everyday life.

Before moving to Austin, I spent over a decade working as a full-time photographer in Tokyo, where I learned the art of light, composition, and storytelling while collaborating with inspiring creatives.

I believe that everyone carries their own quiet, irreplaceable beauty.
Through my lens, I aim to create honest and heartfelt photographs that reflect your story — your warmth, your connections, and the simple beauty of everyday life.

I can’t wait to meet you and capture your moments here in Austin.
I specialize in lifestyle photography that tells real stories: families, couples, maternity, newborn, and branding portraits made with warmth and honesty.
