This little guy is the reason I went to DC last weekend… and I am so glad I did.  His Mommy has been one of my best friends for many, many, many years (was college REALLY that long ago?) and I just love how happy this little man makes her (and her big man, Sandy!)  We had so much fun all weekend– and she had the most amazing park for pictures.  Carousels, flowers, bridges, rock walls, grass, wagons, tents, etc… It was like a photographers dream… but, it was HOT– well, they thought it was hot, I thought it was quite pleasant!  :)  Anyway, we got some adorable shots of James alone, James with his parents– and even James with his favorite pup, Pierre!

ENJOY:

And James’ mommy likes “the pictures that look like they are behind a screen door…” so I added this one!  :)

Yes… I know… Christmas-time keeps getting earlier and earlier.  But, I am going to be more prepared for it this year and try to be done with all sessions, cards, prints, etc by December 1st so I can enjoy time with my family!   Therefore, I am setting up sessions NOW!

Join my facebook page (search for Betsy Marie Photography) and become a fan to receive a special incentive!

Right now, I am just offering these Mini-sessions to PREVIOUS clients who have had pictures taken in the last year!  I will announce later when I have opened mini-sessions up to new clients– however, new clients can always book a full session right now.  I highly encourage new clients to do the full sessions because it is hard to get to know a child, get them to act like they normally do and get great pictures all in 30 minutes!  If you do a full session, you can have many outfit changes, so the christmas-card portion could just be short and sweet!  Email me with any questions!

Get a storyboard!!  This comes in 30X30 and would look so cute in a baby’s room!  I just finished up this gallery for Baby Avery’s parents, so I made this for everyone to see!

ENJOY:

I got to meet little Cedar briefly while I was in DC…. and I’m so glad I did!  He woke up from his nap all smiles– even with two strangers greeting him downstairs— and he didn’t stop smiling the entire time.  I could have taken pictures of him all day–if only I had had time.  Such a great family…. you can just tell how in love they all are with each other.  Thanks for letting me stop by!

ENJOY:

What a great idea!!!  I will be offering these starting in October because it went so well in Washington DC!  

One of my best friends from college had a baby 10 months ago– and I had not met him yet… I saw her in Austin for a wedding and her husband said she wouldn’t stop talking about how she wants me to come photograph little James.  So, for Mother’s Day her husband gave her a gift certificate of ME!  :)  We had a full session together with her family yesterday (will post that later this week)… however, she had a few friends who wanted photos too, but I didn’t want to take the entire weekend up taking pictures when we had lots of shopping, eating, playing and sightseeing to do, so we organized a playgroup/playdate photo session.  The all got roughly 30 minutes of picture taking time, and if one got fussy, we moved to the next one and then came back to the other… it worked out perfectly!  The moms got to talk, hang out, eat, play– (so did the babies) and they all came away with some great images!  

So– email me if you are interested in doing something like this with your playgroup!!   The rate will be $250 for 2-3 hours and you divide that up among however many people come!  We could meet at somebody’s house (as we did here) or at a park.   Just remember, the more people you have, the less time with me… but 30 minutes seems to be plenty to get a few good shots!

Anyway… here are some from my first playdate photo session!  Be ready– there are A LOT (might take a long time to download– I’m sorry)!!!

ENJOY!

These four got their lollipops early so they could go home and nap…. but there were 5 there total!
