Welcome to my
Blogsite!

I hope you love it as much as I do! This will be your one-stop-shop for everything Betsy Marie! All the galleries are at the top and all the new blog posts are below! I hope this will make coming here an easier and more fun experience! I have lots of fun new stuff in the works! This was a long time coming!

Update!  Ok… to end the battle going on below (see how many comments some of those posts have!)… I am ending the contest now and calling it a TIE for the top two (right now one is at 167 and the other 168).  You both win!  So much fun to come back from a cottage with no cell or internet service for a week and to find all this fun stuff going on!  Good work, girls!  I’ll have the rest of your pics in a few weeks!

This is to all the families I photographed in Chicago and Michigan.  Whoever has the most “comments” under their post below after I return to Texas (August 8th) will get a free 8X10 and 10 wallets of the same photo…. so get your friends and family busy!

Until then….!

ENJOY:

These three girls were SOOO easy… even little Livi.  She just followed her two older sisters’ lead.  It was adorable.  There was a storm coming, so we rushed to get these pictures in and then the storm went somewhere else, so we got to hang out more!  My kids LOVED these girls… they played games they have never played before and are still asking with they are coming back!

I’ve known their Mommy (and Daddy!) forever…. it’s so much fun photographing kids of parents I grew up with!  I need to come back to Michigan more often because I really love and miss all these friends!  OR… you could come visit us in Texas– and I’d probably take a few pictures for you!  :)

I hope you love this preview!  Great seeing you all!

PS… I will not be responding to emails until I return to Texas (August 8th)… so please call my cell phone if it is urgent!  I’ll update my blog if we have an internet connection!

ENJOY:

I put one of the pictures from this session up last night… but here are a few more!  As many moms do, this mom worried that I didn’t get any good shots because they were a tad bit late, a litte bit frazzled and a tiny bit shy… I told her she had nothing to worry about… and I think I was right!  :)

ENJOY!

I’m trying to get everyone on my blog from the past week before we go up-north with no internet… so, these posts will be short and sweet!

Speaking of sweet— how sweet are these two boys?  Love their eyes (in color and black & white!)  I also love that in my two favorite pictures, there is a different boy looking at me in each one.  Would look so cute next to each other on a wall!

ENJOY:

Jordan tried to be shy… but I got some smiles out of her anyway!  Especially when we went to the beach!  She seemed to not even know I was there by that point!

It was great seeing you, Julie, and meeting little Jordan!   She is such a cutie with those bright blue eyes and curly blond hair!  Happy Birthday to her soon!

ENJOY:
