ABOUT LENTILLE PHOTOGRAPHY
MEET THE WOMEN WHO TAKE
CARE OF EVERYTHING
Hi, WE’RE ALLISON & MONETTE
A little about us?
We’re moms, too. So we get it. We know how hard it is to find time, feel beautiful, and coordinate everyone’s schedule — and we’ve spent the last 14 years building an experience in Houston that takes all of that off your plate.
Allison founded Lentille Photography in 2012 with one goal: to serve Houston families with the kind of care and artistry she wished she’d had in her own early motherhood days. Nearly 14 years, hundreds of families, and one Heights studio later — she’s still just as obsessed with this work as she was on day one. She’s photographed growing bellies, brand new humans, wild toddlers, and the moms holding it all together. She has seen it all and nothing rattles her.
Monette joined the Lentille team in 2021 and brought something that can’t be taught — a calm, magnetic presence and a genuine gift for real connection. She’s a mom of three, which means she comes equipped with the patience, the tricks, and the sixth sense for exactly when to press the shutter. Clients who work with Monette leave obsessed.
Together, we have five kids between us, hundreds of Houston sessions under our belts, and an almost embarrassing ability to make moms feel like the most beautiful women in the room.
Because you are, you just needed someone to show you.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO WORK WITH YOUR FAMILY
TWO TYPES OF SESSIONS.
ONE LUXURY EXPERIENCE
ABOUT OUR SIGNATURE SESSION
Ideal for those who want one beautiful experience, whether it’s maternity, newborn, cake smash, or a family session. You’ll still receive our full-service experience: wardrobe, styling, artwork, and all the gentle guidance you need to walk away with images you love.
ABOUT OUR EARLY YEARS MEMBERSHIP
Designed for growing families who want it all. This includes multiple sessions across your baby’s first year (think: maternity, newborn, milestones, and one-year), priority scheduling, and a full-circle experience you’ll never regret investing in.
It’s designed to be easy. Beautiful. And fully taken care of.

behind the BRUSH
Meet Aleya — the secret weapon behind every polished, effortless look.
She’s not just insanely talented at hair and makeup (though, yes, you will love your skin afterward), she’s also the calm, fun presence you didn’t know you needed. In about an hour, Aleya works her magic — whether in your home or at our studio — and makes you feel like you’re hanging out with your best friend while getting ready. Clients rave about her, and once you meet her, you’ll get it.
She’s part of what makes the Lentille experience feel so easy. You just show up — Aleya takes care of the rest.
What we believe.
- Art belongs on your walls, and in your home.
- Moms should be in the pictures, not just taking them.
- Your kids don’t need to behave perfectly to be beautifully photographed.
- Luxury should feel warm, not stuffy.
- Every family deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
Lentille Photography has been featured in and trusted by Houston families across The Heights, Memorial, West University, Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress, and The Woodlands since 2012.
” The photos are absolutely stunning and we are so excited with the way everything turned out. The day itself was the best family photography experience we’ve had to date (which is amazing considering it’s the most kids we’ve ever had participate in one) and the pictures are just beautiful and perfectly capture this moment for our family!”
— Melissa
Welcome to the houston heights studio
Our studio in The Heights was designed with moms (and wild toddlers) in mind. There’s soft light, a curated wardrobe, and space to breathe. A little chaos (because, kids). No pressure. No thinking about details. Just a beautiful, welcoming place where you can relax and actually enjoy the experience of being photographed.
Whether you’re warming up a bottle, nursing, wrangling siblings, or just figuring out how to feel like yourself again—we’ve got you. This is what we do.

HAVE some questions?
01.
What about if my kids are wild?
They probably will be. And it’s fine. We’re both moms—we get it. You don’t need perfect behavior for beautiful photos. Your only job is to show up. We’ll handle the rest (and yes, we’ll get the picture).
02.
Do I need to know if I want digitals or artwork before scheduling a session?
Nope. We walk you through everything. You’ll reserve your session first, then see your gallery before choosing any images or artwork. We’ll help you figure out what actually makes sense for your home and life.
03.
Do you help with outfits? Because I have zero brain space for that.
Yes. We have a full studio wardrobe and help style the whole family. You can try things on or just show up and let us work our magic. No late-night store runs. No guessing.
04.
What about hair and makeup? Is that included?
We connect you with a hair and makeup artist who comes to your home or meets you at the studio. It’s not built in, but it’s an easy add-on and so worth it. (You’ll feel like yourself, just… rested.)
05.
Where do sessions take place?
Most families choose our natural light studio in The Heights because it’s calm, beautiful, and made for this. We also photograph at the Houston Arboretum for outdoor sessions, especially in spring and fall. Not sure what’s right for you? We’ll help you decide.
06.
My partner isn’t super into photos. Will this be awkward?
It won’t. We keep things calm, quick, and guided. We won’t ask them to “say cheese” or do anything cringey. Most partners leave saying, “That was actually… kind of nice.”
