Lucky Baby B…

She got to have her 3 month session at the gorgeous Arboretum… and brought along her big sis and parents too!  All four could not be any cuter!  :)  I had a hard time narrowing it down… so here are a ton! Baby B’s Mama likes B&W A LOT… so I converted a few for her to see here before she gets to see them all.

ENJOY:



 

 

 

More from the Dallas Arboretum…

Another beautiful Mama-to-be!

What is it with all of these beautiful pregnant ladies?  (and handsome husbands too!)…  These two were so fun to work with… so laid back and willing to do whatever I suggested.  We stumbled upon some beautiful spring flowers– and I just love how those turned out (so I’ll put a few here!)  Thanks for such a nice morning!

Can’t wait to meet little Cason!

ENJOY:

Free Session Anyone?

UPDATE:  Helper found!  Thanks for all the interest!

First, here is a picture I took today at the Arboretum.  Completely overcast and not so nice out… but got this out of it (and MANY more that I’ll share later this week).  Often clients think it has to be the most beautiful, sunny day ever to get wonderful pictures– and that just isn’t the case!

The Dallas Arboretum is gorgeous right now… and will be for quite some time.  I am having mini-sessions (which is totally full) on Saturday, April 11th from 9:00 until 2:30.  I am looking for someone who would be willing to come along and help me in exchange for some pictures.  I really just need someone to carry some props, round up some kids, distract the parents from telling their kids to say “cheeeese”… anything that I can’t really do and be on a really tight 25-30 minute schedule.  Most of these children are mulitiples– so we have some twins, some triplets and even some quads coming!  

If you are free that day– here is what I’m offering… One free FULL session– so 1-2 hours of picture taking– anywhere you want.  I’ll come back to the Arboretum, meet you at your house, meet at a park, etc on a weekend or a weekday (so $200 or $150 value) and also I will give you two free 8X10s of that session and also two 5X7s (so $140 value in prints).  

Please email me if you are interested in this.   betsy@betsymariephotography.com

How beautiful is their baby girl going to be!?

I can’t wait to meet baby M… and you’ll see plenty of her on this blog.  Here are her two beautiful soon-to-be-parents.  I did a short little session with just Kathryn right before Valentine’s Day as a gift for her husband– but this time we pulled him in on the action.  We got some awesome results!

ENJOY:

 

Happy Day!

Happy St Patrick’s Day!  I got to take pictures of THREE sets of TWINS and one group of TRIPLETS today (yes… count them… 9 kids– all TWO)… Can you say chaos?  One of those sets are mine… and the rest are NOT  (although, we couldn’t help but think of the Octuplet-Mom)…

Anyway… we had a blast (thanks Tonia) and I got some cute pictures.  We had cupcakes at the end… which were a hit– and a MESS!  

ENJOY:

These are the triplets (but they left before the cupcakes)…


I just found one more I had to post of Miss Taylor.  I know her Mama is going to LOVE it:

The LAST of the vacation pictures… promise!

Since Dallas weather is cold and rainy… I am hoping these will bring some sunshine in!  :)  

Sorry to everyone who I had to cancel on this weekend because of the rain!  We will reschedule soon– and hopefully everything will be GREEN!!!!

ENJOY:

Here are a few with “Aunt Kiki” (who has been pressuring me for two weeks to post some!):

 

More of Madeline & Gavin!

I posted one picture of Madeline while I was on vacation (with the lollipop)… but of course there are many more to show!!  It was SO much fun finally meeting these beautiful twins… they were a LONG time coming— like many twins are–and so loved and cherished now that they are here!  Shannon– I will email you soon with a link to all of the pictures!

ENJOY:

 

 

 

Guest photographer!!

Here are some pictures I loved that my dad took (with my camera, his awesome new lens that I have temporarily stolen, and my editing techniques)…

My dad has some amazing shots from when my sister and I were younger (all in black & white– and all developed in his darkroom in our basement).  I wish I could post some of those here too (Dad– do you have any on your computer?)

ENJOY:  

1st is Ry-guy on the beach… and “Papa’s” boat in the background!  The twins LOVED the boat this year.  Although, going too fast gave Ella a headache.  Yes, she is two.

Me with E&R at sunset…
Last one for now… The happy family.  The sunsets behind my parents’ place are amazing!  Thanks Mom & Dad!
