Lane Aaron's Newborn Session – Lake Charles Newborn Photographer

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Newborns are so sweet. Little Lane Aaron was no exception. If I had to choose one particular type of photography to do, it would probably be photographing newborn babies because they are so innocent and fun to work with. Their skin renders so creamy and smooth and everyone ooh’s and ahh’s over these little gifts from God.

Mom and Dad brought their new bundle of joy to our studio here in Lake Charles a little over a week ago and we had a great time getting these images. Like every newborn portrait session, it takes a little while to get them fully asleep, but when they go to sleep they are out cold. (Figure of speech naturally, it was almost 80 degrees in the studio to keep the little one comfortable)

We started with the low-key images first on a bean bag with a black cloth draped over it. Then we went to the towels with a white background for the high-key look.

Call or email Lake Charles Newborn Photographer, Bart Leger Photography and schedule your appointment today. We have packages for Maternity, Newborn, Baby’s First Year, and combinations of all three. From now until June we will also enter your child in our Baby and Child Portrait Contest for a chance to win up to $5,000.

Here they are!

Pet Photography – Lake Charles Pet Photographer

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Dogs – man’s best friend. Maya, our loving German Shepherd behaved very well this afternoon for our pet portrait session while I snapped a few pictures. We got ready by giving her a good brushing and spending a few minutes playing in the back yard to allow her to calm down. Then it was off to Photoshop.

While sometimes difficult to work with, I enjoy taking pet pictures because no matter what your pictures look like, they don’t complain. It does take some patience and time to allow them to relax and  react to their environment, but the results are worth it.

Give us a call if you would like to commission a Fine Art Portrait for your loving animal companion. Call Lake Charles Family Photographer at 337-302-6624 or email bleger@blegerphotography.com.

God Bless!
