Golden Rails – Fine Art Train Photograph – Lake Charles Photographer

Friday, January 29th, 2010

There are times when you just see an image and know you must photograph it. This was one of those times. While travelling on Hwy. 165 South from Kinder, LA back in 2008, I lowered my window, pointed my camera toward the train at 55 mph and clicked off multiple shots and hoped one would capture the image I had in my mind. This one made it. It is shown below. By the way, Fine Art Prints of this image are for sale. Contact me if you are interested.

Brock's 18 month Pictures – Lake Charles Family Portraits

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Vacuum Cleaner – Brock’s first words (well, at least a close facsimile to vacuum).

I had the opportunity to do the portrait session for Brock’s 18 month pictures. His family wanted the high-key (bright-white background) setup and had to include his toy vacuum cleaner he got for Christmas. He loves vacuum cleaners and wants to play with them all the time – toy and real.

Here they are.

A Great Outdoor Photo Session – Lake Charles Photographers

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Here are some images from a great photo session with the Henry family from the Lake Charles area by Bart Leger Photography – Lake Charles Photographers. It’s always fun when we can get a family relaxed and in their element. The awesome thing about lifestyle portraiture is that we are able to capture the family in familiar surroundings, with things that mean alot to them, and can become a meaningful design element within the home when framed properly.

This family loves the outdoors, horses, and wagon rides. In case you couldn’t tell…

Full Moon Pictures – Lake Charles Photographer

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

A clear night. We’ve been having so much rain in this part of the country lately that clear, beautiful evenings have been rare. While inside doing some reading yesterday evening I received a call that the moon was a beautiful orange in the sky. When the moon is still low in the sky it is obstructed by trees and power lines near our house. So….I got in the car and headed about three miles down the road to a secluded spot and got a few pictures of the moonlit sky. Here are a couple. Hope you enjoy.
