the kolu family & the wals little boy
Two shoots on two different days (sorry for having to share a post. Trying to keep up!) of some very cute little ones. One who really liked me, one who wasn’t sure, and one who was sure that he didn’t!
First, the kolu family.
The older of the two girls goes to school with Timmy. Sadly, the aren’t in the same class this year (they were last year) but still are friends. Mom (follow along everyone. here comes the convoluted story of how we are all connected.) used to work with John down at some of the bars on the water and I knew her a little from the bar back when I was pregnant with Jack and Patrick. No, I wasn’t hanging out at the bar while pregnant, but did often drive John to work and said hi for a minute. She is also a teacher at Jack & Patrick’s elementary school who we never had but there’s still a chance with Timmy! And now we are friends. She is one of those super nice people that you just can’t believe are truly THAT NICE. But she really is. One of those people who are genuinely interested in what you have to say. She’s awesome! Her husband is also a great guy, and the kids are so cute. Little miss E (the older girl) is definitely my friend and we had a good time playing hide and seek and taking pictures. Littler miss K, not as much. She wasn’t so sure if she should like me or not, but I think we became friends by the end.
Hope the jellybeans were delish and that the slurpee hit the spot, E. You earned them for sure!
Now on to the wals little boy. Who was deathly afraid of my camera! Here’s what he looked like for the majority of our shoot:
He was pretty okay with me, he would let me talk to him, play peekaboo, tickle a little, and even took my hand to hold on to once when we were walking. But the SECOND I put the camera to my face he would flip out. Therefore, most of the pictures are him not looking at me or from far away so he didn’t really see the camera. It was interesting! But mom has a great sense of humor and we (meaning she and I)spent a good deal of the shoot laughing. I think my favorite is when he yells "OW’ at the top of his lungs whenever she would pick him up. Gotta love that age! When I photographed him last year, the kid was nothing but smiles! Well, we did get a few anyway!
And my most favorite, favorite picture from the shoot? This one. Gorgeousness.

the bart girls
My "nieces" who just get more and more gorgeous. We had a great time hanging out with "aunt beth" and getting lots of great shots. Mom always has them dressed so great for our shoots- lots of bright colors.
The oldest is John’s goddaughter (and it was our 13th anniversary today so we watched our wedding video which was freakin hilarious!.) I digress…she was our little 2 year old flower girl and so stinkin cute and tiny. Now she’s gorgeous and grown up. Craziness, I tell you.
The middle one is SO her father and usually loathes me taking pictures of her. But I don’t know exactly what happened this year as she was actually asking me to take her picture. There’s hope for you yet, miss K!
And the little one is the biggest mush. Always ready with a big hug for me even if I just saw her the day before.
Love these girls. Love that they love eachother (or that they can fake it enough to look good in the pictures!) We ended the day with a little dancing. And it isn’t really a bsquared shoot till someone jumps…

the sile kids
Again, gonna be short on narrative tonight. Still swamped and no end in sight! Thanks for bearing with me. Hey, at least I’m posting pictures.
Mom and I had some really good laughs during the shoot as usual- she’s so awesome. I love making friends from clients! Great kids who (after some coaxing and some dancing by mom) gave me some non-fake smiles. Dontcha love the hair on the little girl!!??

the picc girls
Have to be short on narrative again tonight (sorry!) but back in the editing weeds.
New clients- Like two little babydolls these girls! Super cute and so good. The little one wasn’t terribly smiley but I was able to get one out of her every once in a while. And once the discussion turned to princesses, the older of the two was my new BFF. The girls were brought by their fantastic babysitter, so this will be mom’s first look at the pictures. Hope you like them!

some additional openings & the malo family
Already sent out an email to those families on my waiting list, but wanted to post it here as well. If you or anyone you know is interested in a bsquared session, I have opened up another date and am filling appointments. The shoot has to be local to Rockville Centre and a mini-session. I’m filling them on a first come, first served basis. And if we end up with rain that day (and you don’t have an indoor location in RVC to shoot in) I can’t promise that we will have time for a makeup in time for holiday cards/photos to be ready. Here’s the schedule:
Saturday 11/22 at
9am, 11am,2pmand 3pm.Please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net if you would like to book one of those times. I might be able to open up a few more slots over Thanksgiving weekend. Keep checking back for more availability.
And now the malo family. Have done a few shoots now for this gorgeous bunch and they are all great, great kids. The girls were along on the recent "powe" shoot as little miss M is their cousin. They have a new addition to their family this year, and no, not a baby. A puppy! She was very cute and very photogenic. She fits right in!
Love how the siblings are all so good to eachother.
My favorite from the shoot:
