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!

Love Six Month Olds! Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby Photographer

I always say this age is one of my favorites. I love the innocent expressions, the bright eyes, the little rolls and cute feet and toes. This is really the perfect age...
I was excited to see this guy again. I photographed his sister from the time she was born and she is GORGEOUS...so I knew I would be in for a treat. I hadn't seen him since his newborn session and he was just as cute and sweet as ever!

Heart Breaker | Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby Photographer

Ok this little guy melted my heart...big time. Seriously. Makes me want another one:)

Babies | Fancy Pants: Austin Newborn Photographer

Keep the babies coming. I never get tired of them:) Here a few of the recent babies. Can they get any cuter???

Hats! | Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Baby Photographer

I have seen so many newborns lately, and it is so fun! Many of you have asked where I get my hats for the sessions. Clients are always welcome to incorporate my props into their sessions, but a few have wanted to find something special that fit the color of the baby's room, etc. Boutiques like Izzy & Ash or Bella-Mi are always great options, not only for hats, but for session clothing. I also get many of my hats from etsy.com. I will apologize in advance, for the hours and money that will be lost on this site:) Here are a few of my favorites:)

Preciousness...(is that a word?)

It is what comes to mind when I see this picture...if it isn't a word...it should be:) I started photographing this family when mom was expecting number one. This little guy makes three:) Love them!

Saturday Minis

I originally offered this to my facebook fans and mailing list only, but I have a few spots left, so I am opening it up on a first come first served basis. These sessions are THIS Saturday.

Date: February 12th.
Time: 1-5
What you get:
One 15 minute mini session with 3-5 proofs to choose from.
(3) 5x7 Art Prints
(1) Set of wallets
Price: $150
What to expect: These shots will all be in studio with a white background. You can choose to go with white clothing or choose bright and fun colors. No clothing changes...we just won't have time. Kiddos only on this one, and they must be sitting up. These are fast paced, and you know your kiddos...group shots are sometimes tough with really little ones even in full sessions, so although we may get it in 15 minutes...don't make that your priority:) We will great shots, they just might be individuals... Keep in mind that these are not full sessions, so they won't have various backgrounds, props, etc., but if you just want a cute update images of your little one...this is perfect! Finally, please be on time. These are very limited and will be back to back, so try not to arrive early or late.
With this mini session, you will be able to choose different poses to complete your package, and additional prints can be purchased at the normal pricing. To schedule call 512.279.3366 or go to Fancy Pants Photography and click on the contact page. I will get right back with you on the available slots. Saturday sessions are unheard of at Fancy Pants Photography, so get them while their hot:)

Congratulations G! Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Children's Photographer

It was a great contest, and I appreciate everyone who participated...it would have been a tough choice for me:) We will soon have a new Splash Page face, so be watching:)

Splash Contest Time!!! Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Children's Photographer

It is that time of year again...We are having our Splash Page Contest. For those who are challenged in the internet department, that is the first page that pops up when entering sites like mine:) So...if you win, you are in essence, the face of Fancy Pants for the next few months (you also get a free session and one for a friend too!) The rules are simple: 1) you can vote once a day per IP address 2) you can send it to as many of your friends to vote as you like, but they can only vote once per day too 3) Be nice. Only positive comments about a subject will be posted... It was incredibly difficult to decide which images to place in the contest, and again, I would be thrilled with any of them.
That said...the voting will end next Friday @ 4:00pm. Good luck to all, and thank you for being such wonderful clients!
...While I have your attention, my email client crashed a week or so ago, and I lost all contacts. If you would like to be on my email list, or if you have had a recent session (where I would need to contact you for pick up)...please email me your contact info:)

Email Issues

I had my email client crash this week, and it will no longer open:( I am able to get new mail (although I wasn't for several hours), but I cannot access my address book. If you think you should have heard from me and haven't...I may not have your contact info anymore...yes, this is a nightmare at the busiest time of the year. Please send me a quick email if this might be you, so that I will have your contact info again. Thank you for your patience:)

Busy!!! Fancy Pants Photography: Austin Child Photographer

It is the insanely busy time of year, but in an effort to try to keep up with the blog, I will try to post more, by just letting the images speak:) They sure make some beautiful kiddos in Texas:)

Double Your Money Gift Certificates are Back!!!

For the past four years, many of you have come to the Holiday Collectibles event to visit me and pick up "Double your Money" gift certificates. This year, I will not be at the event, but I wanted to continue the gift certificates for those that like to take advantage of them. From now through Friday, October 29th, you can buy a gift certificate and I will double the amount up to a $100 certificate. The certificates can be used anytime in 2011! As a bonus, I always do a 20% off gallery canvas promo for January, February and March sessions. If you book your beginning of the year session (Jan-March) when you buy your certificate, you will also get a mini wallet book. These are super cute and are not available for purchase. They are hard cover and feature 12 images from your session...they are great for putting in your purse to show off your little ones. They are really beautiful! The canvas special is always popular with those who are building their canvas walls, so make sure to book early to get the best dates.

Fine print.: All sessions and certificates must be paid in full by 5:00 on October 29th. Gift certificates are good toward print purchases and cannot be traded for currency.
