bsquared photography tutorials
So here it is the slow season for photography- no weddings until the summer, no family sessions scheduled until March. And I’m trying to shoot for myself a bit, catch up on some projects, make some overdue doctors appointments/check ups, but if you know me you know I’m not happy unless I have about a million balls in the air all at once. So to that end, I’m offering some photography and photoshop tutorials to any bsquared readers/clients/friends who might want to learn how to better use their cameras (read: get out of auto mode and learn what all those dials and buttons actually do!!) learn some post processing in photoshop or lightroom, and learn a bit about photography in general. I’ll be offering both group classes as well as private lessons. All you’ll need is an SLR camera (the “big” ones where the lenses are interchangeable) and a brain. It would probably help to bring both to class.
Please note that the classes are only for beginners or those with some photography experience. No professional photographers nor those looking to become one. Just those of you who want to learn to do a great job taking pictures of your families/kids/parties/vacations.
Classes will be held in my home in the month of February, possibly adding a few in March depending on the interest and availability.
Daytime classes or private lessons for 2hrs available between the hours of 9:30am-12:30pm (we can get started anytime in that window). Evening classes or private lessons starting at 8:30pm until 10:30pm. A class is 3 or more people. 2 people is still considered a private lesson. We can decide on a syllabus for your class or private lesson based on what best fits your needs and what you want to learn.
Prices are $70 per person for a 2hr class, $85 per person for a 2hr private lesson. Discounts available to anyone who’d like to sign up for more than one 2hr class/lesson. Please contact me at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com or thru the contact bar above if you’re interested in signing up! Looking forward to helping you on the other side of the lens!!
You too can be a professional like me. Where is that sarcasm font when you need it?

nancy’s headshots
I first met Nancy a few years ago at the Education Foundation Gala- Dancing with the Teachers where she was a great “volunteer” dancer. She’s also a teacher in Timmy’s school so I’ve come to know her better over the past 2.5 years. She’s a really sweet lady and looked so pretty for our brief yet busy session together at her home. We lucked out with the weather- it was supposed to rain but didn’t and the cold wasn’t so terribly cold. She needed some headshots for a personal project she’s working on, so we did a few different looks. I love the ones in the kitchen the best- she looks so comfortable and at ease.

a little sun & beach
Looking out my office window it’s snowing hard today. All the more reason to post up some beach & sun pictures from our recent Florida vacation. Woke up early one day to get them all out for a sunrise session on the beach. So worth it! (and don’t hate. I’m in the snow and freezing with the rest of you now).
Patrick.
Jack.
Yup, there really is a height discrepancy between them now.

sparkly snow
In all of the snow’s I’ve ever seen (and unfortunately there have been a good number of those. I’m definitely a summer girl.) I don’t think I’ve ever seen such sparkly, glittery snow. It was soooo pretty. I ran outside (read: bundled up in about 15 layers and walked reeeeeeally carefully so as not to slip and break the camera) for a few minutes in the freezing cold (it’s 18 degrees here tonight, and it feels about 10 with wind chill. Ya know, as an added bonus.) to get some glittery snow shots. Edited these MUCH differently than I ever would any people pictures, but they were fun to play around with.
Trying to keep to my mental resolution to shoot more for myself this year.
Almost a little creepy.
See, totally glittery & sparkly. 
Love the curve on this one.
A little pink snow.
Can you find the snowflake on the top? So cool!

ali’s beach birthday
Yeah, so this was like July. I’m aware how lame it is that I am this far behind in editing and posting personal pictures. Ali, an excellent bsquared assistant and babysitter celebrated her 21st birthday this past summer at the Ocean Club with lots of familiar faces. For my photografriends out there, all pictures taken with the Fuji x100. Gotta use that camera more often.
I just did their newborn baby boy’s shoot this past weekend…
They now own my puppy…
You’ll recognize them from their newborn and holiday shoots…
Grandparents…
Celebrating the birthday girl. 
Moonrise/sunset.
Stay tuned for lots ore summer pictures. And fall. And maybe even Spring. Well, at least the pictures remind us that it won’t always be below 20 degrees in New York.
