    bull run/manassas

    Part of our trip to DC last weekend was spent over at the historical battlefield of Manassas. Which was great for the big boys since they are studying the Civil War in school, great for Timmy to run around, and great for me to take pictures!

    We went with our friends Nate & Colleen and their little girls. (I did a quickie little shoot for them at the field too, that’ll be posted later this week or so). Nate’s great, great, great Grandfather fought at Manassas and actually won the Medal of Honor there. His uniform is the grey one on the right. Pretty cool, huh?

    John really enjoys Nate’s company. He always has a good story to tell. Several, actually.
    This shot of my mom reminds me of Ireland for some reason. Not that I’ve ever actually been to Ireland… Hiding with his rifles, waiting to ambush the enemy.  That’s a whole lot of land.  Boom.

    A few pictures from the morning we spent there. It was cold and misting, but great pictures none the less.

    and it’s on!

    And the winners are…… Jen Botta & Lisa Cheek. Congrats to both of you!! Please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net to claim your $50 bsquared gift cards.

    (how I got the winners: I used Random.org to generate two numbers out of 261 which is the # of fans as of 12:16am when I did the drawing. I assigned a number to each ‘fan’ based on the order in which people signed up.)

    Another contest/give away  to come soon! Thank you to all of you who signed up as fans!!!

    The first ever bsquared photography/facebook fan page givewaway. Here’s the deal: All you have to do is become a fan of bsquared photography on Facebook (you can either go here or click on the tab on the left side of the blog to get there), and you are automatically entered. I will be randomly choosing 2 ‘fans’ at the very end of the day today who will each win a $50 gift card to be used toward a bsquared shoot. The gift card is fully transferrable (so if you win but want to give the gc to someone else to use, you totally can) and is valid thru December of 2010.

    Good luck! Can’t wait to see who wins!! I will announce the winners late tonight (like real late- around 1am or later) on here and on Facebook.

    And I’ll do another contest when my ‘fans’ reach 350. So tell your friends to sign up too!

    Just a random picture from DC this past weekend, cause a post is just blah without one.

    7 for sunday (again, on Monday)

    A day late and a dollar short…

    1. Spent this past weekend in Washington DC with John and the boys, my parents, and my really good friend from U of Miami- Nate and his wife Colleen and their gorgeous little girls. Lots of pictures coming soon on all of that.

    2. A recent self portrait. Wow, grey hairs much? Thought those were covered a little more with the blonde highlights… Apparently not.

    3. An update that I’m really happy to share with all of you who follow the blog. That friend of mine who was critically ill (the friend with the virus that attacked her heart) is doing SO much better. She is out of the ICU, off all the pumps and machines, was able to visit with her children a few times, and the doctors think she might make it home in time for Easter! Keep those prayers coming though, she can always use more!! (Guess they really worked so far, so thank you to everyone who took a minute out to pray for her and her family!)

    4. Since I can’t donate blood for my other friend on this coming Tuesday’s drive I thought I would stop by the buffet afterwards and take some pictures for them. So if you are donating blood and heading over to Monaghans, look for me with my camera. I should probably be there from 7-9 or thereabouts. Please consider giving blood and giving the gift of life.  Here’s the details again:

    4. In the mindset for giving? I have another foundation that I’d love for you to read about. It’s called My Best Friend and it benefits people with Fanconi’s Anemia. You can read a bit about it here. I have donated a mini session to their big yearly fundraiser,  FiestA for FA. One of their grand prizes is a gift certificate for a puppy, including a consulation with an AKC representative to help pick out the best breed to fit your family. The mini session I donated will be included with that prize and I’ll go do a shoot for the family and their new puppy. How much fun will that shoot be?

    5. My cute shoes. The day I wore them, it was freeeeeezing but they were too cute to take off. I suffered through.

    6. Going to be running a little bsquared photography giveaway this week. But in order to be qualified, you have to be a bsquared photography fan on Facebook. So… if you go to the bsquared photography fan page and sign up, you are automatically registered for the give away. You can also get to the facebook fan page with the tab on the left side of the blog- a nice new little added feature! Will announce the details of the giveaway later this week. Tell all your friends to become a fan too!

    7. Running headlong into Communion season and Spring shoots starting this weekend. There will be tons of new posts on the blog coming soon. The lull is almost over!

    the cost mini

    Ok, so it was supposed to be a mini session, and while it was time wise (30 minutes of shooting) it certainly wasn’t volume wise! Got a ton of great shots of these two cuties (if you are a blog stalker, you will remember them from a holiday shoot).
