The Photographer

NADINE SACHIKO, GLAM PHOTOGRAPHER

I’ve been a top professional portrait photographer in the SGV for over 6 years.  What I have loved the most about my job is showing my clients how beautiful they truly are–on camera.

Sadly, I’ve met many self-concious moms in my career who don’t realize how beautiful they truly are.  These moms are often struggling with life balance and don’t take time out for themselves.  I wanted to empower these ladies to snap out of the funk and do something for themselves (for once).

I launched Sachiko Glam in 2018 with the hope that I could help women build up their self-esteem and give them gorgeous photos of themselves that they can treasure for the rest of their lives.

I’m a mother of 4, former race car driver and multi-passionate entrepreneur with an absolute love for woman empowerment, fashion and photography.

When I’m not photographing glam sessions, I’m photographing newborns & families at Sachiko Studio or wandering the aisles of Target with my 4 daughters.

MY PHILOSOPHY

carefree. empowering. pampering.

Photo sessions should be something you look forward to…not dread.  If you feel otherwise, then you haven’t had a photo session experience with me.  I specialize in taking special care with the camera shy and self conscious.  Sessions with me are like having coffee with a friend.  Its that easy doll.

I have an eye for finding the most flattering angles, poses, clothing and lighting for my subjects.  I can take off 10 lbs by simply correcting a pose.

 

ORIGIN OF “SACHIKO”

My middle name (and my grandma’s name) is “Sachiko.”  In Japanese, it means happiness.
