My name is Betsy Prieto and I am a custom photographer in the Dallas, Texas area. I specialize in photographing kids of all ages-- from babies who are not even born yet to teenagers. I have two beautiful children of my own-- and you'll see them here sometimes (when they are not running from my camera). Photography has become my passion-- and I hope you can see that in my work. My blog is where I will post recent sessions, sneak previews for my clients and promotions for everyone to take advantage of! Please take a look at my website and see if I am the photographer for you! Also, examples of custom portraits are displayed at Yaya's Boutique in The Shops At Legacy in Plano, Texas and The My Gym in Frisco, Texas. Please feel free to leave comments-- I love reading what you all think! Enjoy!

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.

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!

Madison & Jack {Frisco Children Photographer}

I put one of the pictures from this session up last night… but here are a few more!  As many moms do, this mom worried that I didn’t get any good shots because they were a tad bit late, a litte bit frazzled and a tiny bit shy… I told her she had nothing to worry about… and I think I was right!  :)

ENJOY!

Two cute brothers… {Frisco Family photographer}

I’m trying to get everyone on my blog from the past week before we go up-north with no internet… so, these posts will be short and sweet!

Speaking of sweet— how sweet are these two boys?  Love their eyes (in color and black & white!)  I also love that in my two favorite pictures, there is a different boy looking at me in each one.  Would look so cute next to each other on a wall!

Jordan… {Texas Family Photographer… in Michigan}

Jordan tried to be shy… but I got some smiles out of her anyway!  Especially when we went to the beach!  She seemed to not even know I was there by that point!

It was great seeing you, Julie, and meeting little Jordan!   She is such a cutie with those bright blue eyes and curly blond hair!  Happy Birthday to her soon!

I heart faces… purple contest!

I couldn’t resist entering this photo of this purple beauty who is pregnant with twins (photographed two weeks ago in Chicago) into the “I heart faces” contest!  What is more beautiful than a pregnant woman who is glowing– inside and out?!  And to be having two boys!  How exciting!
