About Papilio Rose

Hi! My name is Patricia Lauderdale and I enjoy photographing life as it happens and sharing with others.

3 Things you should know about me:

I strive to capture those priceless and spontaneous moments...you know the ones....the little gestures, a giggling face, cute smiles, outbursts of laughter. These are the "real moments" you will cherish for a lifetime.
I feel that God has blessed me with an artistic talent and the ability to do something I love! "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." (Proverbs 16:3)
I am extremely passionate about delivering the very best work to you. Why? Because as a mom and a wife, I know that your photographs are irreplaceable records of your family history that you will treasure for a lifetime.

I am a natural light photographer and believe in using the colorful, authentic light and backgrounds that only nature can provide. This atmosphere allows me to playfully interact with your child as he/she explores a new location, all while capturing the genuine expressions that tell the true story of your child.

My approachable and light-hearted demeanor makes every session fun and engaging

for your child. Although I will occasionally direct the older ones, I prefer to draw out

the more spontaneous reactions from within your child.

Childhood is golden, but it is also fleeting. Preserving those golden moments is

my promise to you. Encapsulating each client's individuality is the focus of every

session. Traditional poses and "say cheese" smiles will never be a part of your

experience.

Helpful Info for Maternity and Newborn Sessions:
Newborns are best photographed in the first few weeks of life, therefore reserving sessions prior to due date is recommended. If your child arrives early or late, I will work diligently to reschedule your session as early as possible. For ideal photographs, maternity sessions are best held between 7 and 8 months.
