bsquared photography bio picture

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Beth Beyrer, a professional photographer from Nassau County, New York. (but I travel all over). I think I must have pretty much the best job EVER. I've met the most wonderful families since beginning my photography business in summer 2007.

**the 2010 pricing is now available, and I'm currently booking sessions from January-May 2010. **

I'm so glad you stopped by my blog and hope you stay for a good, long look around! The blog is pretty easy to navigate and I update almost daily with client sessions as well as personal photos and stories. There is a link above called b2 info which includes my pricing & policies as well as a current bsquared calendar.

If you are a client and are here to view your images from your recent shoot, please scroll down until you find your family's name. I include some of my favorite images from your shoot in the main portion of the blog.

If you see something you like or something you have a question about, please leave a comment. I love hearing from you! Thanks again for visiting bsquared photography!

the mahe family

I was so excited to get the call (email?) from this fabulous family for a photoshoot.

I had originally taken their pictures 2 years ago on the beach. And I was told they had a new addition to the family (another boy), so I was even more excited to do the shoot. Actually, they got in touch right before Christmas but I was way sold out, so we just scheduled for January. Then on the day we were scheduled, it was drizzly and cloudy and I called just to be sure that we would have enough natural light in their apartment. After mom told me about their bay of 12 ft. windows (and I stopped drooling), I hit the road to get into the city as fast as I could. web32

Between the windows, the floors, the amazing brick wall, the cool staircase and open floor plan- AND then the gorgeous family…can you say photography heaven?

Then it got even better (is that even possible??) when we went outside to the cobblestone streets. Ahhh, NYC is just the best.

happy 5th birthday, Timmy!!

Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 1:51pm

Here’s the birthday boy, proudly showing off something he made last week for his birthday (with help from Miss Andrea- thanks Miss Andrea!!)

web51

He’s having a great birthday so far, following the tradition of having a candle in every meal complete with singing (in a bowl of cereal at breakfast, and a pizza bagel at lunch). And is playing lots of Wii with his brothers, getting ready for his party this afternoon.

web71

I told him that I was a little sad (but really happy too) that he was growing up so much. And he told me “Don’t worry, mommy. I’ll still be me.” Melt.

web61

He’s the best, most amazing, sweet and funny 5 year old. Ever. Happy Birthday, Timmyboo. I love you SO much!!

Timmy’s birthday ‘vegetable’- part 1

Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 11:41am

Let the birthday vegetable festivities begin! (for those of you who don’t know the origin of the bday vegetable, we have always had weeklong ‘birthday festivals’ for the boys, with parties, special dinners, etc. and when Timmy was really little when he said birthday festival it sounded exactly like birthday vegetable. So there you have it.)

Timmy celebrated his birthday (which is actually tomorrow) at school yesterday. I don’t think ANYONE, ever, in the history of the world of birthdays has been more excited about their birthday than he is! And everyone comments on it!

web22

He really only likes Oreo cookies. No muchkins, no brownies, definitely no cake. So we made it work and brought Oreos in for the class. No one seemed to protest.

web31

Bossing everyone around.

web12

And my favorite expression on the right.

On the way out of the classroom, he announces “make way for the birthday boy! birthday boy coming thru!” See, excited!!! His party is tomorrow and I just hope his head doesn’t pop off from anticipation prior to that.

love month mini session special!

Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 5:23am

I’ve been working on a special idea for Feburary; after all it is love month!

I’m offering 10 mini session spots for February and March (mini sessions are normally only available during Sept-November and are for holiday card pictures. I don’t offer them at other times of the year.) with a percentage of the proceeds going to TWLOHA, a foundation that I really admire.

web2011

TWLOHA (which stands for To Write Love On Her Arms) is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.  TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. You can read more about To Write Love On Her Arms here.

I first heard of TWLOHA on PostSecret and thought it was so fantastic. For a number of reasons the movement just spoke to me and in honor of ‘love month’ I thought it would be great to do something to show the love!

So, how does this relate to you? If you book a minisession (times and dates below) a portion of each shoot will be donated directly to TWLOHA. A mini session runs 30 minutes, includes only the members of your immediate family, no clothing changes, and gives you your choice of 20 images from your online gallery as 4×6 proofs and those images on a high resolution disc. Normally, I name the location, but for the special, I’ll come to you. Travel costs may apply out of Nassau Co. The cost for the mini session is $200.

I’m hoping the spots go quickly (they do in the fall) and I can donate a good amount! Please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net with the time and date you’d like and we’ll get you booked up!

Saturday, February 13 spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm

Sunday, February 28th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm

Sunday, March 14th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm

Saturday, March 20th 9am only

Saturday, March 27th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm

Hope to hear from you so we can help this amazing foundation together!

just need a few hundred

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 12:43pm

more hours in a day. To get even a dent into my to-do list.

Sorry I have nothing to post today. I’m in the middle of editing 2 shoots, countless Florida pictures, working on some Valentines stuff for clients and for me, have a baby announcement in the works (yeah, that would NOT be an announcement- like I’m making one, but an announcement made of paper with someone’s baby on it with her information. Definitely don’t want any misunderstandings there.) Also, still have to make our family coffee table book from 2009 and 2008 (never quite did manage to get around to that). Not to mention a week filled with dentist, orthodontist, electrician, Kindergarten registration appointments, reading at Timmy’s school, Timmy’s birthday & party to get set up the rest of the way, babysitting to do and to arrange, and the usual myriad of other stuff to do.

Need more time. But unless I can figure out a way to beam myself over to the LOST set, I guess I”m stuck with the usual 24hrs in a day. Which is really just NOT working for me.

Well, at least there’s one picture that I had already edited to post today. He looks so grown up in the shot on the left.
