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!

These two little boys have a TON of energy… even at 8pm on a long, hot, summer day. Their new little sister won’t know what has hit her when she enters this world! And what a lucky little girl she will be… two adoring older brothers and some pretty awesome parents. Loved this session in the sunflowers…. and I went back last night to meet another client there and they had been plowed down. Such a bummer! There is always next year (or… I’ll find some in Michigan to photograph my own kids in!). Speaking of Michigan… still have not picked a date for photos because our plans are still in the works for what we are doing while on “vacation!”…. stay tuned!
ENJOY these cute maternity shots:

I really can not say enough good things about this family. I’ve been photographing little Kate for years… and now she has two adorable little brothers. Their newborn session was one of my favorites and now this is one of my favorite family sessions I’ve taken.  They really wanted a standing shot… and I just love the one of them holding the boys up… even though it was the very last shot… and the boys had pretty much had enough of me by then!  Anyway… all of them are the kind of people you meet and feel like you’ve known forever. Poor Kate had fallen during tennis and had a pretty bad boo-boo on her knee, but she was a trooper with everything I asked her to do. And the boys…. really? How cute are they? The first shot with the hands behind the head… he did that. I did not pose him. They are about to be sitting up, so our next session should be even more fun! Thanks for a fun morning… and ENJOY!

This is an example of a beautiful maternity session that was only 30 minutes long… that is about all you need to capture this time in your life. And if you buy a newborn session with the maternity session… this session is only $50. Anyway… how beautiful is she? I posted the first picture on facebook right after I took it and people were making comments like “she looks like Jennifer Aniston”, and “Hot Mama”… I know that feels good when I am sure she doesn’t feel so hot. Speaking of HOT…I just feel for all the pregnant mamas right now… it is ridiculous here in Dallas. 100 today. Please, Louise! It’s only June! Good thing I’m skipping town in July and won’t come back until someone promises this Midwestern girl it is cooler… or until my kids have to go to their first day of Kindergarten …sniff sniff. Anyway… here are more of this sweet lady, her sweet son… and her beautiful belly! Jody… I hope these brightened your day! ENJOY:

I can’t believe she is this old… seems like yesterday I was taking the popular “angel” picture of her as a newborn. Time flies… more updates soon!
