It's been a while since I've posted on the blog, so here's the start of my catch-up.  Bluebonnet Frolicking.

Happy Boy  {barbara legere photography  |  austin children's photography}

This family was so much fun to hang out with!  And, they introduced me to a new location, so they get big points.  Thank you for sharing your morning and your darling little boy with me!

Sugar Coma  {barbara legere photography  |  birthday photography}

One of my dear friend's baby boy turned one and we couldn't resist a few cupcake shots.  I think he might have enjoyed himself all the way into a sugar daze!  Just darling.

Preschool Portraits  {School Portrait Photography  |  Barbara LeGere Photography}

I had the lovely pleasure of photographing some very adorable and spunky preschoolers this September.  As usual, they were a fun challenge with a few surprises.  We had some beautiful smiles, great funny faces, belly laughs and a few no-thank you's.  Even my daughter and her best friend hammed it up for the camera!  This year I tried out a few treatments to the images just for kicks.

Thank you to the parents for the opportunity to capture your children during such a formative time in their young lives!

And You Thought Your 11x14 Was Large  {Barbara LeGere Photography  |  Austin, TX}

That 11x14 you have framed in your family room - you thought, "wow, that doesn't really make the statement I thought it would."  It doesn't.  But, check this out...3 Panels - each 3 feet x 3 feet.  That 3 feet by 9 feet of canvas - or 27 SQUARE FEET of gorgeous children!  Don't let your images sit dusty and unused on that disc...put them to good use.  Canvas is my favorite way to display your images.  It comes ready to hang, with or without the frame.  You can even order your canvas though me if you need the help.

OK, so the iphone doesn't do them justice.  The child is for size reference.  Thank you for sharing!  They turned out beautiful!!

And, not only that, this is three of FIVE of the images she put on canvas and they all look great!
Now go put your pictures to work!

Backyard Play  {Barbara LeGere  |  Austin Family Photographer}

Sometimes children feel a little too comfortable at home, but for some children, the family backyard is a happy place where kids can be themselves.  And, these kiddos were exactly that!  Super happy, super fun and the family was so relaxed.  Thanks for the fun session and enjoy your memories!

Happy First Birthday!   {Austin Child Photographer  |  Barbara LeGere}

I had the pleasure of shooting this family in the fall and I was surprised at how much I truly enjoyed the session with three little boys!  And, they didn't let me down this time either!  Mom (who is gorgeous btw) suggested we meet at their favorite play spot on the greenbelt.  Someone was looking out for us, because the overcast day allowed the boys to roam free and we could shoot in almost any direction (instead of heading for even light).  The boys were in great spirits, the family as fun as ever and the family dog - ready for a walk.  Thank your for letting me help you celebrate your youngest's first year!  Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!

And this is the family dog's expression when she's ready for a walk - so funny!:

Super Cute and Super Sweet  {Barbara LeGere  |  Austin Children Photographer}

What a darling little girl!  Like a lot of children, she was a little slow to warm-up, but once she felt comfortable, she was just a sweet as can be.  And, check out her ride!  Can I say jealous?  My mom-wagon just doesn't even compare!  Thank you for the fun session and enjoy this moment in time! 
(and thanks to Mike Reed of www.mikereedphoto.com for his most excellent impromptu assistance!)

These two are unedited proofs (the photography gods are screaming at me), but they are just so so cute - don't you just adore the expressions of two-year-old girls?  I know I do!

Happy Fifteen!  {Barbara LeGere  |  Austin Photographer}

What a fantastic young woman this beauty is turning out to be!  She makes her mama so proud!  And, she's a great babysitter:).  Thank you (and mama) for taking such good care of our girls!  And, for the opportunity to capture this milestone in your life.  Happy Birthday!

Super Dooper Well Behaved Children  |  Barbara LeGere Austin Children Photographer

I mean really.  I have had the best luck with awesome children lately.  And these two (three if you count Woody from Toy Story who came along as well) children were no exception.  Can these parents please come over to my house and raise my children for me?  Wow.  They do as requested, the first time.  No whining, no complaining, just did it.  Course, the promise of lollipops always helps!:)

Thank you for the opportunity to capture your family!  It was such a fun session!

Just Us!  {Austin Child Photographer}

After the Christmas card rush, it was refreshing to host a shoot at a favorite park without anyone there at all except us and the peacocks!  Having the entire place to ourselves was perfect because these two boys are on the move!  Watch out world, here they come!  Thank you for the opportunity to capture the love in your family!
