Our Services
VIdeo Production
We produce PR videos for businesses, shops, and educational institutions in a short documentary style. With unscripted, natural storytelling and a focus on capturing the real atmosphere on site, our approach brings out your company’s unique charm — even the parts you may not yet realize. Through thoughtful editing, we turn that charm into a compelling story. The result is a one-of-a-kind video that is truly yours.
Headshots
We provide professional headshot photography tailored for various purposes such as corporate websites, LinkedIn profiles, and business cards.
In addition to standard white backgrounds, we can also create customized backdrops that match your corporate colors or personal preferences through professional background compositing. The standard package includes three fully retouched, high-resolution digital images.
Lessons
Our team offers hands-on lessons where you can learn professional filming techniques, including sound recording and lighting setup.
Which equipment should you use, where should you shoot, and when can you capture the best image?
With over 25 years of industry experience and teaching experience at a graduate school in Japan, we provide clear, practical guidance to help you understand every step of the process.

2025
Founded Suzie & Co. LLC, a video production and photography company based in Southern California.
I have spent 25 years in Japan working in video production. Throughout my career, I’ve faced every kind of challenge—unexpected troubles, last-minute schedule changes—and I’ve always found a way to deliver. Now, as I start my business here in the United States, my goal is to bring that same experience and dedication to serve people in America. My English may not always be perfect, but I create videos with great care and precision. What I bring is a combination of fresh ideas and the meticulous attention to detail that comes naturally to Japanese craftsmanship. These are my strengths. My camera and my editing skills often speak louder than I ever could.
