the medv family
Goes down in history as one of my favorite shoots ever. Seriously.
Not only was the location totally fabulous (East Hampton anyone?), the light amazing (I think they really do get better light out there), the family gorgeous and so photogenic, the little boy a love, to top it all off…they were just the nicest, most inviting and warm people you could ask for.
The trip out to East Hampton is about 2hrs from here and the shoot was on a Sunday evening. So the way out- not a big deal at all. ipod blasting, driving 80-90mph and chanelling my inner Danica Patrick. The way back however, is a totally different story. We are talking hours of sitting in traffic. I think the family took pity on me and were so gracious and asked me to stay for dinner so I could eat AND miss the traffic. Love them. And so I stayed for dinner (which was delicious) and conversation (which was fun and fabulous) at their amazing home. Can you say Pottery Barn catalog? (the house, the family- everything straight out of a magazine. But even better cause it was real life!)
So on to the pictures…started out at their house. So light and airy. And you just know its going to be an awesome shoot when this is the first picture you take.
Mr. C was the star of the show. Deservedly so, dontcha think?
Lots of backyard pictures. Loved the light.
Some fence climbing- always a good pastime for boys.
Such happy couples!
Then off to the beach for some fun and more pictures.
Got the last of the light in before leaving (and when Mr. C was quite done).
Thanks for a totally wonderful evening, dinner and shoot everyone. It was completely my pleasure to spend the time with you and get to know your family!!

the fusc family
I know a few people who have been waiting for this post, and I’m happy to report I have finally finished editing the pictures, so here they are…
This family was gifted with a bsquared session by another bsquared client. So excited to meet their twins, and mom & dad too of course. We decided to meet up at Manor Park in Larchmont which is close to their home. Manor Park was lovely (and long) and we had a good time exploring.
The twins were SO cute and I had a great time chasing after them photographing them.
You know I couldn’t catch them both doing it at the same time! That’s twins for ya…
Future GQ model? So handsome.
Such a girlygirl. Sweet and cute, with just the right amount of spunk thrown in. I was informed that when she wants to do something that she knows she’ll get in trouble for, she sends her brother to do it. Smart cookie!
He did this to himself. Too funny!
So nice meeting you all. To see all of the images from this shoot, please click HERE.

big wave movie night & a little biz
The country club we belong to has a movie night every summer where all the kids get to into the pool with floats (the float thing is ‘outlawed’ in the pool the rest of the year) and they play a movie on the BIG screen over the pool. We went again this year and John’s business partner and his family joined us, just like last year.
And just like last year, we had a great time! Lots of pictures. Surprising, I know.
Just floating. Here in the pool. (my favorite line from the movie The Graduate)
Timmy’s swimming skills are improving but he still kinda sinks like a stone. He’s taking lessons this year at Hempstead which are great. But the kid has no fear whatsoever. Last weekend he jumped into the big pool at the beach with no swimmies and no adult. Ahhh…dude? You can’t swim!
Love this one.
And this one too.
My ‘new’ friend Suzanne and part of her family. She is one of those people that we should have been friends for a long time but just never ran into eachother until….Facebook.
And a little bit of bsquared business: As of last night, there are only 9 spots left in September (plus one day of mini sessions in the park) and 2 spotsleft in October (with a day of mini sessions in the park). Still plenty left in November. Here’s the link to the most updated calendar: http://www.bsquaredphotography.net/?page_id=3635
One last thing…my friends and the owners of bcauseisaidso are selling out all of their current inventory as they are revamping their offerings for the fall. You can see some of their shirts here and here. There are also fun mommy thongs and other products as well. Their shirts are on sale for 1/2 off (a great deal) and at previous parties people have been scooping up the shirts by the handfull. The shirts make great gifts for birthdays and newborns. They are having another party this Friday 7/31 from 9:30am-12pm in Rockville Centre. If you are interested in going, just email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net for address details.

the mora birthday party
A double dress up photo birthday party for two gorgeous girls, and I was asked to shoot it. So much fun, even for me!
The whole family- in regular clothes!
The littler girls…
The bigger girls…
…And the biggest girls!
So many fun, cute and creative costumes and posing!
I had a great time with all of the girls (and the few boys/daddies who muddled thru) and I think the party was a big sucess.
Please click HERE to see all of the images from the party. Happy Birthday, girls!

5 for Friday
1. So after ‘officially’ opening the bsquared fall calendar last weekend, I have booked 35 shoots! Craziness!! Thank you to all my clients both repeat and new, and to all my clients who have referred a friend or family member, there’s no better compliment. I never imagined bsquared photography would turn into anything close to this. I’m so lucky and I’m so grateful to you all! (and especially to John and my boys who are so supportive and let me do this crazy photography thing!)
Based on the fact that I’ve booked 35 shoots for Sept-Nov, there are not so many spots left. So don’t procrastinate and get shut out. Book your fall date now. Here’s the most updated calendar: http://www.bsquaredphotography.net/?page_id=3635
2. I bought a new chair today for the “office” (my office is a built in desk in my kitchen with the computer and all my bsquared books on it). I spend more hours than I care to count sitting here, so I figure it was time to upgrade my seating. I’m so excited to get it! Can you guess which color I ordered?
3. Been doing lots of design work for my favorite band, The Turn. They have a residency gig at a really cool bar in NYC called Arctica on Sundays for the rest of the summer. With the whole band playing! So if you are looking to get out and RockTheTurn, this would be a great place to do it- easy access right on 3rd Ave.
And some exciting news- I was just asked by the nice people at Arctica to do some promotional card design work for them too ! Thanks, B for getting me that!! So I’ll post that card when it’s all done.
4. Went with the boys and Grandma & Grandpa to see Jack & Patrick’s new horse race at Belmont. It was all exciting up until the last minute when the horse was scratched at the gate by the track vet. Loose shoes or something. So we didn’t get to see Talking Blues race, but at least we had a fun afternoon and I got some nice pictures.
Dosen’t he have a nice, sweet face?
(for you blog followers out there, you may know that Jack & Patrick had another race horse named Wheel Charmer who had a non-existant career, but was a nice horse and unfortunately had to be put down due to a leg injury. So Talking Blues is the newest horse. We are anxiously awaiting getting into that winners circle. Someday.)
The boys won $2 each on the race before so it wasn’t a total loss.
5. I’m so excited to give you a little heads up on some upcoming bsquared ‘stuff’ that’ll be offered starting in August. I’ll be putting up all my 2009 Holiday Card collection templates. So make sure you stop by the blog to see those.
AND…I am thrilled to be working with my friend Judy on her new venture : Ju-jewels. She’ll be offering custom created photo jewelery and accessories. They are beautiful and I’m proud to be sporting mine around town! Here’s a little sneak peek: (the pictures of the jewelry aren’t the best. I think I need to invest in the macro lens. But the jewlery itself is gorgeous, and thick, and the photos inside are super crisp.)
6. (ok, I know it’s 5 for friday, but it’s already so late in the day so I am throwing in one more). While bsquared is closed for the month of August, I’m only closed in the sense that I’m not TAKING any pictures for clients. I’m still so far behind on the editing that there will be plenty of shoots still posted to the blog of client sessions. Plus, Holiday Cards 2009 will be debuting as well as more of the Ju-jewelry collection, and all of my personal pictures. So please keep coming back to visit every day, my loyal stalkers! There might be a lull in the action for the 1st week of August because I will actually BE on vacation then, but I might schedule some stuff to post while I’m away.
