WHAT DOES THE WORD PAPILLON (PRONOUNCED LIKE päpēˈyôn) MEAN?
Our business name means "butterfly" in French. These graceful creatures encompass beauty, freedom, hope, and rebirth. We renamed our business Papillon Visuals in 2021 because that is what we wish for you. We hope to encourage you to feel beautiful, free, and hopeful as you continue to grow towards becoming your best self.

"Papillon Visuals is EXCELLENT to work with. They’re so detailed, charming, and genuinely fun to be around! As a fellow artist myself, I really appreciate their dedication to creating a safe space for all walks of life. As a queer person, I felt comfortable under the direction of Papillon Visuals. Their passion really shines though in the way they communicate, and deliver their services. I highly highly recommend! You’re in good hands!"

"I have always wanted to get boudoir photos taken but I knew I would have to find a good photographer who made me comfortable. So when I found Papillon I was so excited. They are so professional and made me feel super comfortable. They included me in the whole process which made the whole shoot just so much fun. It was super empowering and I am so happy with how my photos turned out!!!" - Ava (They/Them) ★★★★★ 5-star review on Google
