Twins! [Fancy Pants Photography Austin Baby Photographer]

AAAAHHHHH:) So ADORABLE! If you have never been to a newborn session with me, let me tell you what you can expect. You can sit back and relax if you want, and I will do my thing, or you can be right there. I want parents to be comfortable....well kind of. Parents aren't completely comfortable because the studio transforms into a sauna during my newborn sessions. We turn off the air (or turn up the heat in the winter) and run a heat fan. You think I am kidding when I say sauna, but really I am not:) Babies are naked during most of the session and in the session, just as in life, it is all about them. These two today were a dream. Really easy, and perfect from head to toe:) I loved every minute that I sweated through the session:) Mom and dad were really troopers and they weathered the heat with me. I think it was worth it:)

SENIORS

We are coming to that time of the year and this round of seniors is getting ready to graduate...in their honor, a few recent senior sessions...

Posting Spree [Austin Children's Photographer]

I am starting it now...look for lots of updates, a new contest, and news...:) I will start with these two...kiddos old enough to listen and follow directions:) Gotta love that every once in a while.... and seriously, they did a great job.

Austin Women in Business [Austin Children's Photographer]

I have so many clients that are also business owners, so I wanted to start showcasing them and the images from our sessions:) The first up is Kimberly Poe, of Organize me....and here is our little interview:)


How did you get started? Friends often asked me to make their pantry's, closets and rooms look as neat and orderly as mine. Finally one friend suggested I start a business and I thought, "what a great idea!".
Describes the client that needs your services. People who constantly feel frustrated and stressed with areas of their home due to clutter, poor use of space and poor functionality. Your things should be placed in your home to flow with your lifestyle and daily needs. When I work with clients, I ask many questions about the family, ages of the children, if there are pets and how a particular space will be used to ensure we organize the area to meet the lifestyle needs of the family.
What are the hot trends in your business? Home organization has never been more fun with all the unique gadgets and containers that are available today! Clients have more options than ever before if they want them.
Where can we find your website, or contact you? You can contact me (Kimberly Poe) at 512-569-3612 to make an appointment for a consultation. I charge $30 for this 60-90 minute appointment where I provide ideas the customer can implement him/herself or they can hire me to do it for them.
What is your favorite area to organize? Pantries are fun. I love to make them functional for all family members and also nice looking! I also love designing hobby areas!
Are there any specials you would like our clients to know about? Yes, I offer a 15% discount off your next organization project for referrals!

And here are some pics of her cute kiddos from our session:)

Cuteness Part 2 [ Fancy Pants Photography Austin Baby Photographer ]

They make some pretty babies here is Austin:) Love her....love her smile....(look at those little teeth!)

I have been neglecting my blog! Austin Baby Photographer

Once again, I will pledge to do better:) I have had the sweetest little clients lately and I need to get them on here! Like this little guy, I mean come on...LOVE him:)

Total CUTENESS!!! Austin Baby Photographer

Complete dream. This is why I love this age:) You just cannot get any cuter, and I say...If you got it...flaunt it!

My Toughest Client [ Austin Child Photographer ]

I am not exaggerating when I say this...this child could not sit still for more than 3 seconds. He climbed on all the furniture, tried to pull down my lights (more than once), tore my paper, knocked over my fabric stand, and tried to take a nose dive off a chair. He was a total maniac...but he is mine, so I will forgive him:) Just a few of my little man who is growing way too fast.

The voting is in progress for the model search benefiting Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. Go to http://www.sandypucvotes.com/ and search the Houston division for our little models. Votes are $1 each and go to a wonderful cause. Good luck!

Keeping Up With Posting:) [Austin Children's Photographer]

I am working hard to stay on top of this:) Little Miss K was such a pleasure. Really...she said she loved to have her picture taken. How much do I love hearing that??? She did an amazing job, and was a lovely girl inside and out:)

Kids [Austin Child Photographer]

I shoot tons of babies, and I love it, but it nice to shoot kids sometimes too:) They can sit still, do what you ask, take direction:) These two were so easy to work with, and gorgeous to boot!

A few more from the minis [ Austin Children's Photographer]

They all did such a great job!

Mini Sessions! [Austin Children's Photographer]

Thank you so much to everyone who participated. I will be uploading the images for voting as soon as I finish editing. I am done with a few so I thought I would post some of our results. Lucky me, I have the cutest clients:) If you don't see one of yours here, never fear, I am still working!

Cute, cute, cute [Austin Baby Photographer]

I say it all the time...LOVE this age. Are you kidding me...can they be any cuter? That's all I have to say.

One. [Austin Baby Photographer]

Time slips by so fast. I cannot believe that my little guy is already one. It seems like yesterday. This little guy has added so much to our lives, and we are forever grateful for this blessing. Just a few shots from his birthday:)

We started with his first trip for donuts...


Then later on to cake...(it takes a lot to maintain that kind of body:))



And finally, a few just cuz...

Mr. Personality [ Austin Children's Photographer]

Ok, as most of you know...I am a sucker for the serious shots. I love the intense expressions, the focus on the eyes...I love it all. BUT...when the expressions are real (no cheese please) and the personality comes through, I love it. This little guy could not do serious and I am glad:)


Now his brother and sister had serious nailed:)

Can Someone Talk to My Husband??? [Austin, TX Baby Photographer]

Because I really think I need another one. Really. Could you not just eat her up? I love mom...she has been with me since her maternity images with her first, and now we are on baby two and she really let me do whatever I wanted. I LOVE that. So of course, I couldn't wait to open the session and take a peek:) Thank you for trusting me with your perfect angel....and for anyone who is scared about this, the baby was just 2 or 3 inches above the bean bag and surrounded by 3 protective adults:)

Only 5 spots [Austin Child Photographer]

...left for Model sessions:)

Model Search

Fancy Pants is participating in a National Model Search. It benefits a cause that is very close to me. I have known about this organization for a while, and was waiting for the right time to be part of it. This is the time. As many of you may know, our 3rd child, Lachlan, was born at 25 1/2 weeks. We had him for 11 hours and 14 minutes. That day was such a gift! I realized when we came home, how important it was to have reminders that he was here. Even though his stay was brief, he changed our lives...he was important. The charity that is sponsoring the Model Search works to capture those few minutes or hours that families have with babies in this situation and preserve them forever. A network of photographers volunteer to come into the hospital and photograph babies and their families, when they will not leave the hospital. I know from experience how important this cause is. I was worried that I wouldn't be strong enough to be one of these photographers, but I know that I am. As I was signing up, I realized that we could also help by photographing little cuties for a model search! Perfect...I have lots of cute clients! So here is the deal. It is one day only. February 24th. Mark your calendars! Sessions are $25 and last for 10 minutes. You can expect 2-5 images to choose from for your order and I pick one to enter in the contest. I am offering a package with this deal. Since there will only be 2-5 proofs, I am not requiring the $300 minimum print purchase. Instead, I am offering 1 8x10, 1 5x7, and a set of wallets all the same pose for $70. After the initial package, if you want additional prints, you will be able to order ala carte. Family members and friends will be able to vote, so it is all up to you. Votes are $1 each with money going to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Models must be between 18 months and 14 years old. Call to set up your Model session soon, there are a very limited number of spots.

Spread the Love...

In honor of Valentines next month, and because it is the month that my little sweetie turns ONE (can you believe how quickly the time has passed????!!!!), I am offering a "Spread the Love" promotion. The way it works is simple...you book a session for February and you get a free one for a friend...how cool is that? The fine print is simple too...both sessions have to take place in February, and they are standard sessions (only the kiddos). They are done separately, so you don't have to come in with your friend, just make sure they know to get on the books asap. These will sell out fast. I look forward to seeing old friends and new ones too!!!! Happy 2009! Oh, and check out the new splash page. Our winner is now featured and I am working really hard to get the site updated with new images too:)
