the kell family
The last time I photographed these lovelies, there were only 2 of them and they were really little. Now there are 3 and if it’s possible, they got even more gorgeous! It was so nice to meet the new baby too. What a doll!
So many good pictures from this session, I had a really hard time narrowing it down so there are quite a few. Enjoy!
This one’s full of expressions, one better than the next!
Cuteness!!
A little slice of life…
She was making the fish face and I thought she was going to implode!!
That is one good dog.
Love this one, sun spots and all. It just screams summer. 
She was happy once she found her thumb.
Hope you all have a great weekend. I have a few last minute openings for shoots this Sunday at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm. Any takers? -
elizabeth’s prom
I got to play paparazzi for an afternoon/evening and follow my ‘niece’ Elizabeth around to a bunch of pre-prom parties. I was also introduced to a whole new world of prom rules that include posting your dress on FB to ensure that no one buys the same one as you, buses instead of limos, and graduation the day after prom so that the school can use graduation to ensure no one gets out of control at prom. But I was happy to see that at least the corsages and boutineers are still around. And that the mom’s had to pin the boutineers on the boys jackets. Some things don’t change. But yes, I am really, really, REALLY old. How did that happen?!
But Elizabeth is gorgeous. I mean, really really gorgeous.
Her date was a sweetheart and I liked him cause he let me take lots of pictures without complaining. At least not to my face.
I have this exact pose in a picture of Bitsy when she was around a year old. I looked all over my house but I can’t find it. I’m sure it’ll turn up as soon as this blog post is up!
The first party. How are they all so pretty and skinny?! Is it bad I wish I was 17 again?
A little shoe shot. 
Didn’t want to miss the backs of the dresses.
Jake Ryan, anyone? (on the right)
Talking to her godfather John on my phone while eating salami. 
Even though the bus got lost coming from Maryland (yeah, I don’t get it either) and the parents had to drive the kids to Valley Stream to meet the bus almost 2 hrs late, and then the same bus broke down 10 miles from the prom and they had to send town cars to pick up the kids….they all had a great time from what I heard. Good luck next year in college, everyone!! Bitsy, what am I going to do without you?!? -

10 for tuesday
Wow, that week went so fast. Can’t believe it’s time for another installment of 10 for Tuesday, but here goes: (all pix are from the iphone)
1. Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend. I worked all day Saturday, stayed in on the rainy Sunday (but did a ton of work) and beached it on Monday. It turned out to be a gorgeous day!
2. Had dinner on Monday at The Fisherman’s Catch in Pt. Lookout and it was fantastic. The view didn’t stink either.
3. Working on so much bsquared stuff. New additions to the packing of your orders, new products, the fall bsquared calendar, the July newsletter, new vendors, ordering samples. All while trying to edit the 10,000 or so shoots that I’m behind on. I can’t wait to show you some of the new products- they’re awesome! Oh, and the fall calendar will be available for booking in about 10 days. If you haven’t yet signed up for the newsletter, you can just click on the purple tab on the left side of the blog.
4. Looking forward to photographing baby Jake this week. And of course his uberfabulous mom and dad. Haven’t seen them since the birth session and I can’t wait to see how he’s grown and changed already!
5. Saw Cars 2 this weekend- it was cute but I still liked the first one better. Also saw Super 8 with the boys last week and loooooooved it!! Patrick was freaking out saying “idon’twannawatchthismovie,idon’twannawatchthismovie” after the first 10 minutes, but then he settled in and ended up loving it. Highly recommend it. Shades of ET, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Stand By Me & It (Stephen King)- all my favorites.
6. Timmy has been “diving” as of late. It is THE funniest thing ever and I laugh every time I watch him dive. He looks like a cartoon character- he goes straight out. And then straight down. I will try to get it on video this summer.
7. I have a few openings coming up for sessions if anyone is interested: (please email me at bethbeyrer@yahoo.com if you’d like to book one of those dates/times)
Sunday 7/10- 1pm, 3pm
Saturday 7/16- 12pm, 2pm, 4pm
Saturday 7/30-9am, 4pm
8. Looks like the baseball trip for this year is all settled and booked. I’ll be in Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee in early August. Anyone out there want to hire me for a shoot? Pleeeeeeeease?! (so then I have a legit excuse for skipping some of the games). I’d love to shoot in a new city, so if you know of anyone who you think would be interested, please pass on my info.
9. Currently reading The Hunger Games on the Kindle and really enjoying it. My book list is so totally long and I just keep on adding more. Guess it’ll be helpful for the baseball trip…
10. Here’s the annual cousins shot from Fathers Day. If you receive my in law’s card, please forget the picture right after you see it so it’ll be a surprise on the card this year. Ok? Good. (oh and for those of you new to the blog, yes there are 8 first cousins. And they are all boys.)
Hope you have a great week! Lots of pictures to come so stay tuned! -
introducing…jack cooper
My very good friends Sharon & Dave welcomed their third (via C-section, so I couldn’t photograph the birth no matter how much I wanted to!) baby on Friday afternoon. And although I couldn’t get into the OR for pictures, I did get to see, hold and photograph Jack in the hospital about 8hrs after he was born. He’s weighing in at 7lbs, 2oz (but is pretty solid so he feels much heavier when you hold him) and has a full head of hair with lots of blonde highlights. He’s soooo cute and was wide awake the whole time I was in the hospital visiting but not even one little cry. According to Sharon he was awake like that and no crying for about 3 hrs. In a row!! I’m hoping he’ll be her low maintenence baby!
I’ll be back to take more pictures of Jack (the real newborn shoot with nice natural light, not crappy hospital bed lighting) in about 2 weeks, so be on the lookout for those. I saw Olivia & Gavin along with their grandparents in the lobby on my way in and their way out. They (well, Olivia & her grandparents) were SO excited and Olivia is totally smitten with her new baby brother.
That’s some kind of eye contact from an 8 hour old baby!!!
How great does Sharon look?
First family photo. Congrats to all of you!! Love you guys! xo
