24 hours old… and sweet as can be. You are going to see A LOT of this baby as she grows… so look out!! I know there are probably people checking in to see some pics of this beauty– so I’m putting just ONE up before she and her Mama come home from the hospital and send out other pics. She is beautiful– just like her Mommy, Daddy & big sis!
You know someone.
You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $820 worth, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives the session fee with me for FREE. What better reason to show some love?
The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
* The nominee must reside in the Dallas, Texas area. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
* You must e-mail me the full story : betsy@betsymariephotography.com
The winner will be announced on New Year’s Eve — so … get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
With love,
Betsy

Here is a birth announcement/Christmas Card combo… I am sure you all remember “the boot”!
They picked a flat card– so here is the front:
I have another photo session scheduled with this cutie right before Christmas…. and I can’t wait to see how he has grown! We’ll find something else creative and cute to shove him into and photograph! :)
Well…. the rush for Christmas cards is over (phewwww!) and I wanted to share mine with you, but I had to wait until I knew everyone I sent them to had them in their grubby little hands (so international friends… don’t look yet). If you missed out this year (either because you didn’t have a session with me or because I didn’t have time to make your cards for you)– next year I will be starting earlier (think early October) and I will be able to get everyone taken care of! I loved how each one turned out– so maybe I’ll put a few up to show you between now and Christmas since I only have a couple sessions scheduled (and instead of taking pictures I will be doing a lot of shopping to make up for how busy I was and how SICK we all were for most of November.) Ok… here it is:
ENJOY! (The card opened to the left, so the 2nd & 3rd pictures are what you see when you open it, and the dancing pictures are on the back):
