After changing their clothes, we took a memorable family photo and gave it to them free of charge. This is Studio Alice’s first attempt at a photo session in a pediatric ward. Starting with this initiative, we plan to continue holding family photo sessions in collaboration with the Akemi-chan Foundation, mainly at heart transplant-related facilities across the country.

[Impressions from families who experienced it] I was born with a weak heart and had to undergo multiple surgeries, so it was rare for my family to be together, so I’m glad I was able to take a family photo and have a valuable experience. The hospital has become a fun and wonderful place, and the children are smiling, making it a great gift for the family. I hope you will continue to do so. (Hiya)

The children were happy because they were able to select their favorite colors and preferences, so they could choose their own costumes and choose what they liked. When I filmed before, I was in a bad mood and cried all the time, but this time I was in a hospital, and I had a support system around me, so I was really happy that I was able to film in a good mood. (Mr. Takagi)

Under such circumstances, we decided to hold this event in hopes that hospitalized children could take photos with their families on anniversaries and milestones. I think it was a good experience for the hospitalized children and their families, even though there are usually many restrictions. (Ward nurse)
[Studio Alice’s thoughts] The photos we take are special photos that can only be taken at that moment. There is more than just one thought contained in each piece. The feelings of mothers and fathers who have raised their children. Grandparents want to watch over their cute grandchildren forever. We capture the many feelings of the family while taking photos that are close to their feelings. As time passes, each time you look at a photo, you become happier and happier.A photo is an irreplaceable story of a family. Photographs are treasures that become more beautiful as time passes. We hope to deliver intangible things such as children’s dreams and excitement to the hearts of our customers. Our greatest joy is listening to the wishes of families and being able to make those wishes come true. Photographs have the power to transcend decades of time. That’s why every time you open the album, you’ll have a blissful time watching your child’s growth and immersing yourself in memories. You may feel like the smiles of your younger self and your youthful parents encourage you today. We want to help strengthen family bonds through photography and continue to be an indispensable presence in the community. At Studio Alice, we will continue to evolve while responding to the voices of our customers, keeping in mind our management philosophy of “contributing to enriching people’s lives,” so that we can preserve vivid family memories for the future through photographs. I will continue to do so.
