A Family of Girls Portrait Session

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

I love this family

It was time for their next child’s one year session and even though they had moved nearly two hours away in Texas, this lovely family wanted their precious girls’ images produced again by Bart Leger Photography. This session included one more girl since the last session. That’s right…another addition to the family. We recreated the last daughter’s one year portrait on our rare, painted carousel horse in our studio. We also did individual color studies on the rest of the girls as well. Here are a few of their images.

Recent Senior Portrait Session in North Lake Charles

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

The second time was a charm

Not everything goes as planned. We were reminded of that when the day came for this senior’s scheduled portrait session. April in south Louisiana can be fairly unpredictable.

We were having great weather, that is up until the day of the shoot. A cold front had come through and the temperatures dipped into the mid 40′s and the wind was blowing about 20 miles an hour. But we showed up anyway. After only about 10 minutes we realized that everyone was uncomfortable, especially our senior.

So… we did what we had to. We rescheduled.

The second time out we had great weather and we produced some nice images for this lovely senior. Here are just a few…

She was thrilled with her images and so were we. We just love working with seniors.

We trust you have a great day!

 

Marlie’s Senior Portraits – Lake Charles Senior Photographers

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

Rust is in

At least it was for Marlie’s senior portraits. We had a great time with this senior creating her images. The camera loved her and I believe she had a great time also. At least that’s what she said after we were done. Music to my ears. We love it when seniors get great images and enjoy the experience as well. Here are a few images from her session.

The Little Doctor to Be – A Portrait Session in Lake Charles

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

What a precious little one

Recently we had the joy of creating images of this little guy and his dad. We love marking milestones and showing relationships. The first image from the session is a Black and White study. He did a great job for the camera.

His dad is a physician so we did some with his dad’s books and then one with his dad to show the relationship. Here’s the little future doctor.

It is so wonderful to capture these relationship moments with our clients.

Thanks again from Bart Leger Photography in Lake Charles.

 

New Relationship Portraiture Offered by Bart Leger Photography

Saturday, January 19th, 2013

The Beauty of Relationships

Love…and Connections… These are the foundation of our relationships. The squeezing of the hands. A light kiss on the forehead. A caressing touch on the cheek. A moment in time captured which will become an heirloom fine art piece for generations in your family to enjoy.

That Describes our New Signature Black and White Relationship Portraiture

 Let’s look at some of the main elements used in our Relationship Portraiture

  • Dark clothing, no patterns, very little jewelry and no props are the hallmarks of this style of photography. We want all attention drawn to the faces and hands, much like a mime
  • Highlighting unique relationships between family members
  • Black and White and reflecting intimate relationships and mostly in deep tones
  • More interactive and sensitive to the moment

A Few Samples

Look Your Best at Lake Charles Senior and Family Photographers

Friday, January 18th, 2013

So you don’t think you look good in portraits. You wish this thing about yourself were less prominent. Or you don’t like your smile.

Sneak Peak…

Here’s a few images from a fun outdoor session with a lovely young woman we created near our studio. We had just left another on-location spot and stopped at this nearby farm and grabbed a few shots near one of the rice dryers. It was getting late and we were well past the golden hour around sunset. But no fear… we created our own light and got these gorgeous images for this local nurse.

Bethany’s 9 Month Session – Lake Charles baby Photographers

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

I just love it when mom’s have a sense of style and the little ones pull it off with attitude and have fun. Such was the case with one of our favorite clients for little Bethany’s 9 month session.

We have been working with Bethany since she was a newborn and this session was extremely fun and enjoyable and we always love it when mom and dad get super excited over their images in print.

Here are a couple of storyboards from this session.
