Kimono Photography Session: Embrace Tradition with Elegance and Grace

Family Photography

Why not travel to distant lands while staying inside the familiar landscapes of Texas? Nappy Time Portraits collaborates with Ms. Miyako Uchida, a kimono dressing instructor and organizer of Kimono Mosaique, to offer photo sessions in kimonos.

Be it for Coming of Age Day, Senior Portraits, wedding anniversaries, or a baby's first meal ceremony, wearing a kimono adds an elegant touch to various occasions. Nappy Time Portraits selects backgrounds that complement the kimono, offering outdoor shoots in the vast Texan land or in Japanese gardens, tailored to your preferences. We're not limited by location; we'll go anywhere! If going out is challenging, especially for families with small children, we believe that shooting at your home or garden can also result in memorable photographs.

Shichi-Go-San and Coming-of-Age Day celebration photography sessions are so popular that families travel from Houston and Dallas to participate. Put your child in contact with another culture and celebrate your child's growth with traditional kimonos and professional kimono dressing.
Kimono rentals for children and adults, including dressing services, are provided by Kimono Mosaique, while Nappy Time Portraits handles the set-up and photography, proposing a photo session that will be cherished for years. Siblings, entire families, and individuals of any age are all warmly welcomed.
Feel free to contact us regardless of your child's age.

Requests for When Wearing a Kimono

Things to take care of before the dressing starts

✨  Meals, restroom visits, makeup, breastfeeding, changing your baby's diaper, etc.

Items you should prepare

✨  For children and men, we request wearing a loose-fitting undershirt (with or without sleeves is fine) and soft shorts.

✨  For women, we recommend wearing a tank top or camisole with a wide neckline and soft shorts or leggings. Preferably, a wire-free sports bra (like a bra top) is desirable.

✨  Adequate hydration, and for children, non-messy bite-sized snacks or their favorite toys that might lift their spirits could be helpful.

※ Your cooperation is appreciated for a smooth photography session.
