Molly {+2 baby boys}… {Dallas Maternity Photographer}

July 7, 2010 – 8:50 pm

We had a beautiful morning for this very special photo shoot.  The Mama-to-be is my cousin, Molly…. we grew up in the same town and shared so many fun things together growing up!   It’s so amazing that she is pregnant– and even more so that she is also having twins.  Two boys!  How fun will this house be?  And… how beautiful is this lady?

ENJOY:molblog-3-copymolblog-13-copymolblog-11-copymolblog-9-copymolblog-7-copymolblog-1-copymol-1-copyAnd lastly…. the bikini shot!!!!  How adorable (and brave) and beautiful (and brave) is this soon-to-be-HOT-Mama???  Can’t wait to meet those baby boys in October!

This little rascal is one of the funniest kids I’ve ever been around… and one of the cutest too!!!  But we can’t ignore his gorgeous Mommy?   Such a beauty!  We had a blast… on another hot and humid day!  Same location as my last shoot… and I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of it since people seem to like the results I get there!  :)

Enjoy… and Happy 4th Birthday, Mr Ri-Ri!  :)

Sweet poem and one preview… {DFW family photographer}

June 21, 2010 – 5:59 pm

A client of mine sent me this poem that she wrote after she booked her most recent session with me.  How cute is that?  It’s so nice to be appreciated!!  Thanks, Amanda… but first, I’ll post a preview of a session I am editing for the blog later tonight (hopefully!)  There are too many good ones… so the next post will be LONG…

ENJOY:

A picture speaks a thousand words,

As the famous saying goes.

This statement is so very true,

As any client of Betsy knows.

The angle, the light, the background too,

All perfect with every shot.

She captures children at their best,

Even when it’s hot!

She snaps photos with such ease,

And the results will amaze!

Getting pictures taken with Betsy-

The latest DFW craze!!!!

For those of us who are not in town,

We share in this magic too.

While taking trips throughout the year,

She will set aside time for you.

Photo sessions fill up fast,

Because her work is so tremendous.

And the suckers she uses to bribe the kids-

Well they are just stupendous!

Take it from someone who knows,

Betsy’s work is the BOMB!

Tristen & Addie {Frisco Family Photographer}

June 18, 2010 – 2:16 pm

It’s hot in Texas… even at 10am, which is when we started this session.  At 11 o’clock… it was about 10 degrees warmer, but these kids were troopers!!  I showed them the lollipops at the very start– and they worked for them!  The mission of the session was to get a family picture that included their youngest (who is well over two… and not in a family photo they have on their walls currently!)  :)… so we did that first, then I took the kids and explored a bit.  They are adorable… and I hope you all had fun at the 2nd reward (Toy Story III).

Happy weekend!  ENJOY:

New Collages & Storyboards…

June 2, 2010 – 9:43 pm

Since my storyboards are so popular lately, I decided to work on a few new ones… here is one that can take a TON of pictures!  (and also a ton of work!)… It will only work for “full” sessions– and will be included in some new packages I am coming up with soon!  I’ll post a few more new options later this week!

5 year old Triplets! {Frisco Family Photographer}

May 28, 2010 – 1:33 pm

These three just turned five… and we had a lot of fun.  It’s getting HOT in Texas already– so we cranked this session out as fast as we could.  They showed up in their amazing clothing they wore during a ceremony in India a few months ago– all three of them had their head shaved there and it is just starting to grow back.  They look adorable.  Then we switched into some clothes where they could run and jump– and they seemed more relaxed.   All three were so sweet… and ready for the gum their mommy promised them at the end!

I hope everyone reading has a wonderful long weekend!

ENJOY:

Sadie {Texas Childrens Photographer… in New York!}

May 26, 2010 – 9:51 am

And… now we have Miss Sadie and her super-talented, artistic, awesome, gorgeous parents (Elisa & Nathan)… Elisa and I also went to college together (you may remember her maternity pictures here)— and if there is one person in this world that can make me laugh it is she.  I love this girl– and was dying to meet her daughter.  I tried to get up there in the winter to take some newborn pictures (even had a ticket), but exhaustion and illness got in my way.  So– this time we made sure it worked out!… and we got some beautiful shots in the process!  We met in Central Park…. it was hot!  Especially for May– but we cranked out the session in no time (and off went Nathan and Sadie back to Brooklyn to leave us child-free in the city for a few days!… thanks to the men/grandparents/babysitters who made this amazing weekend possible!)…

I know there were some other people who wanted sessions and I didn’t get to them– but I am hoping to come back in the fall and at least have another mini-session!  Keep a look out– I tried to focus less on work and more on play this go-around!  :)

Ok… enough talk… here are the pictures!

ENJOY:
