some stuff (summer calendar, communions, senior sessions, products & ordering)
Sorry, couldn’t think of a catchier title for my blog post today. A few things worth mentioning- the bsquared summer calendar (june-august) will be up on the blog for booking on Monday, April 14th. In past years, beach sessions book very quickly so if that’s something you have in mind you might want to book that as soon as you can. Cannot wait to be shooting on the beach again in warm weather!!! Its hard to imagine with the freezing temps and howling wind we’re having here today that it’s only 2 months away, but it is!
Being that the weather is supposed to be turning nice (freaking finally) soon, don’t rule out booking a spring time shoot. Only 5 spots available for April and 5 available for May. You can find the current bsquared calendar here. Shoot me an email or leave a comment here if you’re interested in booking a date for a springtime session. Communion season is rapidly approaching and things are going to get really busy here at bsquared, which I am really, really looking forward to. Been a horribly long winter with not much going on in the way of sessions (it’s freezing, ugly and brown & grey outside. i don’t want to be out there shooting and obviously, no one else does either!) If you haven’t booked your communion session there are a very few dates remaining. Don’t forget, you don’t have to do your communion session (mini or full) on the exact day of your communion. Sometimes its more relaxed to get dressed up in your communion finery and do the session on a totally different day where there is no rush to get to church or the party, or have to take care of all the other details of the day. You can email me at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com or just use the contact button on the top of the blog.










Speaking of May and warmer weather, if you have a graduating high school senior this year, please consider a bsquared senior session. You get way more options (both in terms of location, outfits, “props” and number of prints in your package) than you do with the traditional school photography with the blue background. We can even do the cap and gown shot as well. Wouldn’t you love to have this very fleeting, special time of your high school senior with all their interests, personality and just them captured before they leave for college? You can find more about the bsquared senior sessions here and find some photos from last year’s bsquared seniors here. To book, shoot me an email at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com or click the contact button at the top of the blog.





And lastly, here are some bsquared products that went to their home today. So happy to see clients printing big, gorgeous images to be displayed in their homes. (when it comes to printing, I’m pretty much a “bigger is better” advocate). Here are two 16×20 mounted prints from their beach session, with 3 mini books that mom went crazy for. She can’t wait to keep one and share the other two with family. Sharing is caring, ya know.
If you haven’t yet ordered your prints, disc, enlargements, albums, etc from your 2013 (or earlier for you slackers ;)) bsquared session, you may want to do that soon! I’ll be clearing out the archives to make some room for the 2014 sessions. You can order by shooting me an email at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com or by clicking the contact button above on the blog. I’m more than happy to help you if you’ve forgotten what you have included in your package, with choosing images to enlarge, with framing, with albums- whatever you need.

rachel’s senior session
Rachel is my “niece” who I’ve known even before she was born. So you can imagine how completely in disbelief I am that she has just started her senior year in high school. I bought her very first outfit (her coming home from the hospital outfit) all in white with little pink hearts, babysat her countless times. And now I get to photograph her senior session. The days are long but the years are short. Ain’t it the truth?!
Rachel is a surfer (she works at Skudin Surf Camp), loves her puppy Reef , hanging on the beach….and is so gorgeous.










Had to take one quick one with Mama.



Endless summer (don’t I wish!)


And a last quick change to do a little surfing and hanging in the waves.


The waves were too choppy to really surf, but I made her try anyway.




Still hoping to get the bsquared senior sessions off the ground this year. If you know a high school senior that you think would be interested in a session with me, please pass my info along. I love doing them so much and would love to have seniors as a big part of the bsquared business! -
chris’s senior session
The last of my four senior session models. So sad to be finishing them up and really hoping we can get some more seniors to book with bsquared next year- I absolutely love doing them!! Chris was technically a junior at the time of the session but will be heading into his senior year at Valley Stream South in the fall. He’s a wrestler so we had to incorporate a little of that somehow (which was more challenging than you might think at a beach setting!)
The flies were vicious over in this area, but it was worth it. At least to me!




I may have to buy myself a pair of wrestling sneakers- they are so comfortable looking. Maybe good for weddings with my myriad of foot issues?



A little departure from my normal processing on this one, but thought it looked cool. 
Good luck next year Chris! (but enjoy your summer first!)

maggie’s senior session
Maggie is straight out of California(although she lives here on Long Island and I’m pretty sure she has her whole life)- a true golden girl in every sense of the word. Smart, so sweet, gorgeous, blonde, tan and an ocean lifeguard. She seems too good to be true, but she really is all that and more. Maggie’s headed to Villanova in the fall, honoring a family legacy and also taking her own path. She had a very busy week last week with graduation and prom so I waited until today to post her pictures. Hope you like them Maggie (and parents who I adore!) and I don’t really need to wish you good luck next year cause you obviously have that covered, but wishing you nothing but all of your dreams coming true! Giddy-up! (<<<that was for you Gina! except I left part out.)
Shooting at the beach was a no-brainer.







A little change of clothing…

And another change…into the lifeguard uniform.




Last outfit before sunset was done.

Thanks again, Maggie! I had a fantastic time photographing you. xo -
jack’s senior session
Another of my volunteers for the bsquared senior sessions- and what an awesome volunteer he was! An avid guitar player we had to include some of him playing in our session. I loved the suit and tie look too! And in all honesty, if this kid doesn’t start modeling I may have to hunt him down next year at college and make him go! Best of luck to you next year at Alfred State and thanks for being such a great model for me!
