Evening Sessions! Fancy Pants Photography

Since my business has started, I have never offered sessions in the evenings unless it was a senior session....BUT, for the holiday rush only (September and October) I will be offering Tuesday evening sessions. These sessions can be children only or family sessions and will start around 6:30 (this will be adjusted as days start getting shorter) and last until we lose the light:) Booking fees for these sessions are $350 and they are very limited so if you want one...get on the books now. I really love the evening light right now and it is great for family shots or the perfect Christmas card image!

Christmas Card Designs 2011: Fancy Pants Photography

This is my favorite time of year. I love creating and getting cards...so fun! I am excited to roll out our 2011 Christmas card designs. As always, these are first come, first served. Once a design in gone, it is gone...so if you love it, reserve it now. Card text can be modified as can the number of images on many of the designs. Most designs feature one image, but if there is room on the card, we can certainly customize it to use more images. Some of the cards will also allow for color change. You will see that this year we are also offering some of the designs in specialty shapes:) Every year we book up for Christmas and have to turn people away, so we want to make sure to get an early start this year. *Here is why you want to start early...* If you book your session for September, you will have an additional option this year. Not quite a mini session, but kinda:). These sessions will be an all inclusive price! The sessions will be 45 minutes, and will include 15-20 fully edited files for $1000. These sessions must be booked and completed in September and there will be limited availability. When you book, just mention that you want the all inclusive, and we will go over the details and get you set up.
Already had your session with Fancy Pants? No problem, call us to reserve your design for $50 that will apply to your card order and we will get your proof ready to go. To view our 2011 designs, go to Fancy Pants (fancypantsphotography.com) and click on the galleries tab. You will find the Christmas 2011 gallery, and all of the designs. Knowing your design also helps with clothing choices for your session. I cannot wait to see all the little cuties!

The Details
Flat 5x7 or 5x5 cards printed on linen or watercolor paper are 2.85/each, folded 5x7 or 5x5 cards printed on linen or watercolor are 3.45/each. Specialty shape cards are $3.25 each. Cards can also be printed on pearl paper for .10 extra per card. All cards come with white or parchment envelopes. There is a minimum order of 50 cards. Please keep in mind that square and circle cards require additional postage. Each design will be sold only once, so reserve your card when you book your session. If you have already had your session and would like to use those images for your card, you can reserve your card for $50 that will go toward your card order. If one of our designs doesn't work and you would like us to create a card just for you, there is an additional design fee. All new sessions must meet the minimum print requirement before cards can be purchased.

Stay Tuned: Fancy Pants Photography | Austin Photographer to Royalty

Please forgive me.
I know I have neglected my blog:( Summer is so crazy that sometimes something has to give...or a few things:) That said, I have been working diligently to get my Christmas card designs for 2011 ready. They should come out in the next few weeks so keep checking. As always, first come first served...once a card is gone, it's gone.

Just because I have to, I will add a pic of one of my little sweeties (he looks real sweet huh?) My prince:)

Who is this cute? Hoo? Hoo?| Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Newborn Photographer

Ok, maybe my title is a tiny bit cheesy, but this little girl was just gorgeous! The first girl in the family and I have a feeling she will get her way a lot:) She was a perfect model for our session today. Total doll.

Pure Beauty...Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Children's Photographer

This week was so busy trying to juggle a week of sessions, my kids out of school, and camps....it was crazy. Luckily, I have also got to open some of my favorite images this week. It is like God decided to give me a little balance and make all the insanity worth it:) I have just started editing a couple of these sessions, but I wanted to share. More to come:)

Little Guy...Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Newborn Photographer

I have had a ton of newborn boys lately...I am not complaining:) They are so precious...I could do newborns everyday.

Sweet, Sweet Baby|Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Newborn Photographer

One of my wonderful clients just welcomed her third child, and her first boy...I think she did well:) He could not have been easier, which is nice every once in awhile;) Being a cutie patootie doesn't hurt either...

Rock a bye baby: Fancy Pants Photography

Sweet little guy was perfect. Just perfect.

Shut the Front Door! Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby Photographer

That's all I can think of (said in a Rachel Zoe voice) when I look at these. I mean....are you kidding me???? Yeah. He was that cute.

It Happens To Everybody: Fancy Pants Photography Austin Baby Photographer

So....everyone has a bad day once in awhile. You need a nap, or you're getting teeth...but you can't hide cute. This post is for mom. She left feeling a little unsure if we got anything cute of "Mr. Grumpy". He really wasn't that grumpy:) The bottom line is cute is cute is cute!

West Texas Sweetie! Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Child Photographer

This little one was in town for the week and made time to stop and see me:) They were a lovely family, and they all obviously love this sweet girl to pieces. Here is a sneak peek, Mom, the rest will be ready soon:)

Izzy and Ash Mini Sessions! Fancy Pants Photography

Thanks to all of the new faces and the familiar ones as well, who participated in the Izzy and Ash/Fancy Pants Photography mini sessions. We had a great time, and got some amazing images! Check back often for additional events:)

Love. Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Newborn Photography

Little guy slept the entire time...such a doll baby:)

New. Fancy Pants Photography, Austin's Newborn Photographer

Perfect skin, perfect lips...perfect everything. God definitely knew what he was doing when he sent our children to us as these little packages. Congratulations to mom (and dad too) on another beautiful little girl....

My Little Guy...Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Child Photographer

My own kids are usually the hardest for me to photograph. Part of that is me. I have all the patience in the world with my clients, and not so much with my own kiddos... 'cause they KNOW how to do this! I have been in their face with a camera since birth, but yet. I asked my little guy today if he wanted to do some pictures..."With my airplane?!?" (he thinks all my props are his toys:-|) "Sure!" I rarely get him to take pictures willingly:) He actually did a great job today and it wasn't like pulling teeth:))))) I love those times! He only gave me about 15 minutes, but we made it work...

Love him!
