Madi {Frisco Baby Photographer}

August 23, 2010 – 8:14 pm

Besides my own daughter…. I would have to say that this little angel is like my muse.  I love taking pictures of her (even when she is a tiny-bit cranky like she was the night I took this…)  This might be my favorite picture that I’ve taken of Madi yet… and I’ve taken a lot!

Also, below the picture is the last of the fall sessions along with information.  I cut and paste from the post that is way down there because I know some of you were looking for it:

And one of Mama & her sweet baby:cheryl-1-8

Here are my available dates for the fall as of today.  Please email me with your 1st & 2nd choices and I’ll email you back with a confirmation.  All deposits can be sent via paypal (betsy@betsymariephotography.com) and must be received within 2-3 business days to confirm your spot!

This year there will be a minimum card order of 75 cards.  Flat, folded or tri-fold.  You do not have to order cards, but if you do want them (and have me draw up a proof for you) the minimum is 75.

I’m attempting to have all the sessions in October and early November so I can have all proofs back to you before Thanksgiving.  I tried this last year, but all the rain we had put a wrench in my plans…. so we’ll try again!

Any photos I have taken over the year can also be made into a card.  Please put in your card request before Thanksgiving so I can get it ready for you to proof and send out early!

FULL SESSIONS: ($200, 2-3 outfit/location changes, 1-2 hours of picture taking, 60 plus proofs to review in on-line gallery, proofing of card, minimum print and card order–see website for more info regarding full sessions)

Mini-Mini Sessions… {Frisco Child Photographer}

August 23, 2010 – 7:50 am

I had a great time with all these kids at my summer mini-session!  It was darn HOT (I’m talking 105 in the shade…) so they were all troopers!  I, on the other hand, looked like I jumped in a lake by the end!  Sorry to those who came later and had to witness that!  :)  I got some great shots of everyone… and even got the quads to all look at me and smile (AT THE SAME TIME!)….   It was fun to have some new clients join in on one of these crazy mini-sessions!!  I don’t think the moms knew what they were in for!  :)

ENJOY and the proofs will be ready for you all in a few weeks (after I catch up on summer sessions from my trip!)…. phew… better get busy!

One more thing:  There are only three spots left in the fall/holiday mini sessions… and right now, I am not going to add anymore!  So– anyone who has contacted me asking about them better book soon!

Baby Austin {Frisco Baby Photographer}

August 21, 2010 – 8:11 pm

Impromptu photo session tonight while babysitting our nephew ended up with a ton of cute ones… but these two were my favorites (this is my new, awesome backdrop that you’ll be seeing a lot of because I just did a mini-session using it… it’s blue one one side and white on the other)… along with my cool wood floor!  Mini-session people:  I’ll post some tomorrow!

How cute is this guy?  Do you remember the pictures I took at his birth?  Now he’s sitting up and I’m pretty certain about to crawl (sorry, Christina!)

ENJOY:

Happy Birthday, Lucy! {Frisco baby photographer}

August 18, 2010 – 6:36 pm

I’m sure you all remember Lucy as a newborn… she is the one who slept the entire time and gave me a taste of what is possible in the world of newborns when they cooperate!  Well… Lucy just turned one!  I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her many times along this year-long journey and it’s been a ball!  She is adorable… and her mommy has been hoping for some photos with actual smiles for a long time… and I guess she just wanted to wait until she was one to make them even more special, because we got a lot of smiles!  (Thanks mostly to her daddy!… I can’t take the credit this time).

ENJOY:

Here she was as a beautiful newborn:

Delaney, Lauren & Olivia… {DFW family photographer in Michigan}

July 27, 2010 – 6:57 pm

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:

Logan & Brennan…{Texas (in Michigan) family photographer}

July 22, 2010 – 9:19 pm

The first of the Michigan sessions… and this one is LONG overdue.  The grandpa of these two boys was going to fly me to Michigan from Texas for newborn shots of little Brennan (5 months ago).  We couldn’t work out our schedules to make it happen when he was actually a newborn, so we took some photos now since I’m in town and “grandpa Phil” is going to buy them a ticket to Texas to come see me!  (not sure he knows this yet… but that is their Mama & my plan!)…  I photographed Logan last year– and I’m sure you remember him.  He’s so cute.  His little brother is equally as cute and super sweet and smiley.  Love them (and also love their Mama, who I have known since I was about 2 days old and released from the hospital… she is MUCH older (18 days).

ENJOY… and look for Logan & Brenna’s new cousin (born yesterday… name TBD) on my blog soon!  Love when newborns are born where I am!  :)

Part 1 of 3 of a MUCH anticipated post! {Chicago/DFW family photographer!}

July 18, 2010 – 9:04 pm

I am SO SO SO sorry to all the families who have been patiently waiting for this post.  The 2nd part (with the other families) will be this week!  Promise.  My vacation has gotten away from me… and I forgot how much work having two four year olds at a lake can me (and exhausting), so by the time we get off the lake, in the shower, fed, read to, tucked in and there is finally a moment of quietness– all I want to do is sit on the deck with my parents and take a deep breath!….

But… I had a great day of mini-sessions before we got to Michigan (while we were in Chicago where we were SUPPOSED to see the U2 concert, but instead will be back in 2011 for it… so if you missed out on these sessions, there is always next year!).  I had lots of cute kids and some great moms (and grandmas) there to help at the shoot!  SO… enjoy and I’ll be sure to tell you all when the albums are ready (but at this rate… it will probably be in August after we return to Dallas!).

Sidenote:  Can’t get the pictures to look quite right on this computer that isn’t mine… not sure if it is the screen or the internet.  Anyway, I’m going to post them because they still are adorable, just not looking how they do in photoshop once I post them to the blog… hmmm?

First… the model for my business cards that I’ve had for years (she’s bigger, just as sweet and has an adorable sister… remember them from last year’s Chicago sessions?):

Ruby is model-esque… and so is her sister… but Frances wasn’t quite so thrilled to be in the pictures.  However, I think I captured them well– and love the shots with Mama– one perfectly adorable and the other perfectly real!  :)  Enjoy:

mini-1-copy1blog-51blog-41blog-61And these three were a hoot!  Such personality… and so sweet!  Again, the youngest took some time to warm up… but I got what I needed!
