Petite Sessions are Back at Papillon!

September is a remarkable month for me each year. It's a beginning and an ending in the same breath. It's a second chance, a fresh start. It's a time for reflection and forward thinking. My kids make their way back to school, leaving more time for me to dream the dreams of a grown woman's heart.

Papillon is offering Petite Sessions during the wonderful month of September! Whether you want to take a family photo for this year's holiday greeting card, capture memories of your little one beginning a brand new year of school, another year spent with your sweetheart, or earning another year's worth of wisdom, Petite Sessions are a great way to treasure life's milestones. I look forward to documenting your new beginning!

Sweet Munchkins {LT & Aubrey Rose}

A few weeks ago, I had a little play date with a little friend and her new baby brother. Aubrey hadn't seen me since I took her photos when she was just a few months old, so while she took a little time to check me out, I grabbed a few shots of her adorable brother, LT.




Little man was sleeping so good, he hardly budged when I moved him.




How cute are his little tootsies? I couldn't help myself.





What a handsome little gentleman, he is!




I must say, his is the cutest outfit that I've seen in quite a while. A bowtie, hat and suspenders, too? I love it.




Next, it was Miss Aubrey's turn to play with me for a bit. We were having a serious discussion about Elmo...




Look at that little face! So cute.




Check out Aubrey's shoe game. There's just something about a tiny pair of sandals!




Peek-a-boo!




To Aubrey & LT: I wish you all the love your heart and hands can hold! I'm so glad I got the chance to play with you. See you soon!

Playtime with Karter

I had the privilege of hanging out with my little friend, Karter a bit ago. We had an intense conversation about tutus, sparkly shoes, how learning to walk is going, and her plans for her birthday party. I even got to witness some of her dance moves. It was a great time. :-)






The beauty that love creates is found in the eyes of a child. And each moment I am able to spend looking into those windows of innocent souls - freezing tiny moments - is an absolute pleasure for me.






Dearest Karter, as you approach your first birthday, I wish you courage to find your dreams, joy to fuel your soul, and love to fill your heart...from now until forever.





Are you and your munchkin ready to come hang out with me? Contact me for more information or to schedule your session. I can't wait to see you!

Happy 7th Birthday, JKnight!

Seven years have passed since I laid eyes on a tiny face that would change my world for the better. He has taught me about the depth of a mother's love for her son. He has taught me patience. He has taught me that sometimes, control is not mine to be had. He has taught me that I'm not as tough as I like to think I am. He has taught me how different one child can be from the next, and that that is a part of what makes this life, this family, so beautiful.

Happy birthday to my biggest little guy...the one who can melt me with a smile. Here's to 7 more great ones...and many more after that. Mama loves you, Kid.

Live in Love,

Prepping for Kinder

This is the year of preparation for Mr. Nikko Amari. It is his final year at home, before he begins Kindergarten. He must know deep down that time is ticking away because my little jokester has found a new thirst for knowledge. He wakes up wondering when he can begin working on his "mumbers," and goes to bed complaining that he didn't get to write all the letters one more time. Well, buddy...I promise you, I will do everything in my power in order to make sure you're ready to rock when next school year rolls around.

Here's to a successful (pre)school year for all of our students. Focus, determination & a positive attitude for all!

Oh, and of course Zion had to get in on the fun. He's learning right along with Nikko (according to him, Nikko's name is spelled K-K-K-K-O...close enough).

Papillon Presents: Back to School Petite Sessions

The beginning of a brand new school year is just around the corner. My two big munchkins have excitedly filled their backpacks with school supplies in anticipation of their first day as 4th and 2nd graders. I look at them with hazy eyes wondering where the time went. The older they become, the more quickly the years seem to pass. The importance of seeing them as they are now...the importance of freezing these fleeting moments is almost tangible.

This year, instead of seeing ketchup stains on your prince's shirt & grass blades intertwined in your princess's braids thinking, "Why do they schedule school pictures after lunch & recess?" Instead of feeling obligated to purchase standard school photos only for the sake of documenting the school year, Papillon offers a different option:
Whether your kiddo is a bit nervous to begin Kindergarten or has the confidence that 5th grade experience brings, let's document this year in a way that tells the story of who they are right now. Dress them up in their favorite school outfit, bring their backpack and come take advantage of these Limited Edition Petite Sessions!
Tell your kiddo I can't wait to see them!

Beautiful Brown Baby

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful little sweetie pie named Nahla. She celebrated her 1st birthday earlier this year, so she and her Mama & Papa came to see me at one of Houston's many gardens for a few photos. And I'm so glad they did. This family is just bursting at the seams with love for each other...and they're expecting a brand new little bundle in a few months! I can't wait to meet the new little Mister. But for now, here's a peek into the life of Little Miss Nahla and her wonderful parents.

Can't you tell she's Daddy's little princess? They are just too sweet.

I  LOVED Nahla's little tutu dresses. Guess who made them...her MAMA! Way to go! They were absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks again to Miss Nahla and her family for giving me a glimpse of your beautiful life. And thanks to you for reading!
