Happy 10th Anniversary….

…To my awesome husband!   It really seems like it was a year or two ago that we had our Nashville wedding.  The memories of the wedding weekend are still so fresh in my mind.  It was an INSANELY fun wedding– with everything exactly how we imagined it.  Sort of like our marriage!

Here are some pictures… Fun to reminisce.

I love you, Danny… and love the life we have built together!  You are an amazing dad, husband and friend.

XOXO:

Seriously?  How old were we??  I guess that is what you get when you meet when you are 19!!  :)

Ava-Bava {Frisco Child Photographer}

This girl….  I mean, really?  I could eat her up.  She is one of the funniest, smartest, most gorgeous girls I know… and she’s only four.  :)  I don’t think any other four year old (besides my own) crack me up as much as she does.

So… enjoy these pics… but you know there will be more of her around the holidays!

How could I forget??? {Frisco Traveling Photographer!} :)

So…. my cousins brought all of their kids over for a cookout and to spend some time together back in JULY while we were in Michigan.  I promised them pictures on my blog shortly after… and somehow I forgot!  SO SORRY!  I edited them, had them ready to go and then just never did it.  (This kind of thing would only happen to family members!)  :)  So… these cousins are my cousins’ kids!  They are so cute and fun and my twins had the best time when they were there!

Aunt C, Kelly, Danny & Billy … so sorry!  But I hope you like!  :)

Mini-Mini Sessions… {Frisco Child Photographer}

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!

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!

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!

Update… and a preview {Frisco Family Photographer}

I will be posting the HOLIDAY schedule and fall (holiday) mini-sessions sometime soon (hopefully, tomorrow if I can get things back in order after being gone so long!)…. I’ve gotten tons of emails the past week inquiring about it– so I will get on it!  Promise!

Here is a preview for a family who I took pictures up while on vacation “up north”… they were ADORABLE and I loved it!  They came a little bit before sunset and we had some gorgeous light.  The boys were perfect angels… and I just love the feel of all these pics.  How lucky that these three boys get to grow up in such a beautiful spot.  And how lucky to have such amazing parents.  Hope you love them!

Heading back to Texas… {Frisco Family Photographer}

Our 6 1/2 week journey around the midwest is coming to an end…. we are heading south.  Normal “business” will resume on Monday– so I’ll be returning emails and editing all the millions (ok… just thousands) of pictures I took along the way.  Thanks for the patience of everyone waiting on proofs! Those Chicago sessions seem so long ago!  They will come as soon as I possibly can.

Here is a taste of what we’ve been up to… We spent a week “up north”– which is the northern part of Michigan for my non-midwest readers… and it is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.  Amazing sunsets, cool evenings, beautiful days.  I can’t even explain how much I love it– and now how much my twins love it too!  I have many more to share when I have time to actually edit!!  Promise.

ENJOY:

Contest… UPDATE! {Frisco family photographer}

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….!

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

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:
