Children's Day (端午の節句)

April 20th and 21st ONLY

Family Photography

Happy Children's Day! May your child grow up strong like Kintarō and brave like Momotarō. Nappy Time Portraits is excited to announce a collaboration with Miyako-san, a kimono dressing instructor and organizer of KIMONO MOSAIQUE, for a special Children's Day photo session!

On April 20th (Saturday), we will set up an indoor photo shoot for a more formal look, and on April 21th (Sunday), we will capture the lively spirit of your children outdoors among a variety of carp streamers swaying in the wind! Kimono rentals and dressing for children and adults are provided by KIMONO MOSAIQUE, with background sets and photography as well as romper rentals by NAPPY TIME PORTRAITS for a memorable photo session. We warmly welcome siblings, families, and groups.

For this limited-time Children's Day special photo session on April 20th and 21th, we are offering a special price for kimono rentals, dressing, and photography fees. We have a wide range of kimonos available, from rompers for babies celebrating their first seasonal festival to sizes for children up to about 8 years old (approximately 130cm in height). We also offer adult-sized kimonos for parents for indoor shoots. If you're interested in having your family photographed together, please consider booking an indoor session on April 20th.

We welcome inquiries regardless of your child's age!
Both indoor and outdoor photo sessions are by reservation only, and we prepare shooting items tailored to the children and families being photographed. Spaces are limited, so please book early! We are also happy to welcome reservations for both indoor and outdoor sessions.
If you're unable to make it to the Children's Day photo session but would like to schedule a shoot on another day, or if you have specific requests for home, indoor, or outdoor sessions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

In-Studio Shoots

April 20th: Indoor Kabuto (Helmet) Photography

Capture your child in a photo with a helmet, set against a backdrop of a large rising carp. The photo studio is located in North-East Austin. We can also prepare adult-sized kimonos for parents. Perfect for documenting your child's growth and for a family photo session on Children’s Day.

Outdoor Locations

April 21st: Outdoor Carp Streamer Photography

Enjoy a relaxed outdoor photo session with your child among large and small carp streamers, including some as big as 2 meters. The sight of numerous carp streamers gently swimming in the wind at Pfluger Park in Pflugerville is truly magnificent. Please note, changing clothes will be outdoors, so this session is only recommended for children who are comfortable changing outside.
