Does Not Get Any Cuter Than This! Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby Photographer

Could you say no to that face? Mom is in trouble!
Things have been crazy busy around here...thank you to all of my repeat clients, and new ones too! I wanted to let everyone know that I will be at Holiday Collectibles this weekend at Westlake Presbyterian Preschool, and will be offering double your money gift certificates and specials to those who book a session for Jan., February, or March of 2010. I will also have a new collection, that I am very excited about. Come check us out, your child may be our newest star:) Holiday Collectibles is Friday and Saturday...hope to see you there!

A Few More....Fancy Pants Photography|Austin Newborn and Child Photographer

A few more real quick. I will try to keep updating, I know a lot of you are hoping to get a glimpse of your session:) I have ONE opening left that can still get Christmas Cards. Contact me now if you are interested.

Catch up time...

I have really been so busy that I can't look up. It isn't all business (although some of it is), but games, practices, halloween, parties, football.....AAAAHHH. It is crazy. So once again, I apologize for my lack of updates. I am going to throw in a few from several sessions. Oh, and I don't think I have ever mentioned this, but if your child is featured, feel free to use the images on facebook, but I do ask that you do not remove my logo, or print them (they are not high resolution and would look yucky anyway:) ). Enjoy!





More later....
I'm out:)

Sweet baby boy. Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby and Newborn Photographer

Loving all the babies:) I have 3 just this week:) This guy is so beautiful...I know it should be handsome, but he just is. Thanks so much to mom, dad, and big brother for being such troopers today.

The Perfect Landing...Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby Photographer

Ok, I could just squeeze him. So stinkin' cute. I know Mom was really wanting this shot...(ok, ok, I was too) and we got it!!! He was so done, but he hung in there...thanks Mr. J:)

The Sweetness:) Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby Photographer

Really, really sweet little guy. His big sis was a doll too. We all just clicked right away:) Have I mentioned that I LOVE babies???


~One quick housekeeping note: I will be out of the office September 21-25th. I will not be able to schedule any pick ups during that time frame. I will however, be answering calls and emails. Christmas sessions are filling up, so if you want to make it onto the schedule, now is the time to contact me.

Oh, my neglected blog....

I am so sorry for the weeks of no posts, but in my defense, it has been a few busy weeks.
~I had a little guy turn 8. I still can't believe it. For so long he was my baby and now he is 8. A boy. A big kid. He is sometimes still my little cuddle bug, but is also mixed in with some attitude here and there.
~I sent my two oldest off the elementary...5th and 2nd. I cannot believe that my little girl will start MIDDLE school next year, but I won't rush it.
~And today...I sent my little baby, my little buddy off to Mom's day out. No tears from him. He was excited to play and looked like he was trying to figure out why all the kids were crying. He is already growing up. Time just slips by. Uggh. My eyes are filling up just writing this.

So, I am done with the excuses and will move on to the posting. :)

Thank you!

I don't have any images to post right now because I am in the middle of editing a TON of sessions, but as I was working I started thinking and decided to share my thoughts. Scary. I really am thankful for what I do, and the people who choose me to photograph their children. I don't work on weekends. I don't do evenings. I know that my schedule is not always the easiest to make work. I promised to save weekends and evenings for my family, and you have graciously accepted that... and you make it work. I really feel like I have some of the best clients in the world. Today I had four sessions. It was a crazy day. I am tired, but can honestly say that I enjoyed today. All of the clients that I worked with, are people who have been to me three or more times. That is amazing. They are the kind of people who hug me goodbye and who I chat with (probably wayyyyyy too much) all the way through. I look back over the past months and think about all the wonderful people who come through my doors and the children that I have watched grow up. Some, from the time they were only days old. I am blessed to be able to do what I do, and I am blessed that I have gotten to know the people who are now my clients and friends. So I just wanted to take the time to say thank you. Thank you for trusting me, thank you for continuing to come back year after year...it is special to me to have this place...the place where I get to document your child's life. I appreciate it and appreciate you.
Back to your regular program:)

Rub a Dub...Fancy Pants Photography Austin Baby Photographer

Cute as can be. We did it all in this session...formal, fun, birthday cake, and ended it all with a bath:)
*****************************************
If you are looking at doing a back to school mini, there are only 2 spots left!

Back To School Minis | Fancy Pants Photography Austin Child Photographer

It is always a little bittersweet when the kids start school. They are excited for the new teachers, seeing their friends again, etc., but it also marks another end of the year's summer vacations, lazy family days. The year they start kindergarten amplifies this by 1000. I remember being so emotional knowing they were starting school. I have one left at home, so I get to do this one more time:) It is crazy to me how time flies. I look at pictures of them on their first days of school, when I thought they were sooo big, and they look like babies. This year, I am marking the beginning of the year with back to school minis. They will be very limited, as we don't have much time:) I have 3 dates available and only 4 spots each day (2 mornings and 1 evening). The sessions will be 10 minutes and feature your child with a vintage school desk, and will be shot outside. Each session is $100 and includes the session, 2 5x7s, and a set of wallets (all one pose). You will get 3-5 proofs to choose from for the package. Any additional prints can be ordered ala carte. Clothes are really important in these sessions. You can make the image timeless with traditional clothes, fun with hats and funky outfits, or add your own details to include your child's personality. Whether they are starting preschool, kindergarten, or any other grade...the most important thing is that you are stopping time for just a few minutes and recording another year:) Sessions are first come first served.

Christmas Card Designs!

The designs for 2009 are on the website!!! As always, some designs are completely original and designed by me, and others are not. I will print each card design for one client, so once it is reserved, it is gone. Most designs can be customized with new wording, or additional images as space allows. I can also design a card around your favorite image or images! All cards will have a coordinating print on the back...they look so cute! If you have had a session in the last several months and would like to use images from that session...no problem. Otherwise, call and book today as Christmas sessions go very quickly and we will not be able to accommodate requests for card sessions after the first week of November. All cards must be ordered by November 20th.
To view all designs: Fancy Pants Photography
or Austin Baby Photographer
and choose the Christmas Card gallery.


The fine print:
A $50 reservation fee is required to reserve cards. The $50 fee is then applied to card purchases. Cards are printed on watercolor or linen paper and flat 5x5 or 5x7 cards are $2.75 each (with envelopes). Pearl paper is also available for $2.85 each, and any design can be made into a folded card. Folded 5x5 or 5x7 cards are $3.25 each. There is a minimum order of 50 cards. Cards are only available after the minimum print purchase has been met. There is a $50 charge for custom one of a kind designs created just for you, with up to 2 revisions. There is no charge to utilize an existing design. All cards will have the Fancy Pants website in small type on the back.

Perfection. Fancy Pants Photography, Austin Newborn Photographer

Babies are perfect. Everything about them. I have photographed so many lately, and have developed a little baby bug, but I think I will have to settle for client newborns:) Here are a few recent images from my last 2 newborn sessions. I could truly just eat them up. Keep the babies coming:)

Little Rebel | Fancy Pants Photography Austin Child Photographer

So cute. Enough said...he was a doll....and perfect again.

Not Fair...| Fancy Pants Photography Austin Child Photographer

I did a maternity session, newborn session, and now this little guy is huge:) I don't know why I was expecting a little 14-15 month old, but time flies! It is still unfair how beautiful and put together mom is....;)

Pretty in Pink | Fancy Pants Photography Austin Newborn Photographer

Another perfect baby....keep'em coming:) This sweet little one made an early appearance, but she was ready. We had a great time today and I got to meet both Grandmas...I love to see them enjoying the little bundles. Congrats to mom and dad:)
