the brit family
This adorable and fun family came to me thru two different referrals, the sister of the mom and the sister of the dad. So, thank you to both!
Loved this fun bunch- they kept me on my toes! When mom booked the shoot and gave me the ages of the kids, she wished me good luck with the littlest. She was a real pip, but a great photogenic little model.
We met up at the GC Cathedral where I had done another shoot not too long before. When we were getting close to being finished some guy appeared out of nowhere (very rudely I might add- no need for that, you can just ask nicely!) came over to tell us that it was private property and that we had to leave. At least it was at the end of the shoot and we would have been wrapping up soon thereafter anyway.
So nice meeting you all!! Hope you enjoy your pictures and I got the shots you were looking for to hang on your stairs! To view all of the images from this shoot, please click HERE.

the sarg family
This is one of those shoots that both mom and I thought might not ever happen. And as it turns out, we made it in just under the wire. We had rescheduled 3 times due to various things, one including the baby having a black (actually rainbow colored) eye because of a fall. Well, thank goodness she was fine and looked fine by the time of the rescheduled shoot too. As it turns out, within a few hours of the shoot being completed the poor baby got stung by a bee on her eyelid! After a trip to the ER she was fine, just swollen and not photoready. So glad we got the shoot in when we did, right J??
A bunch of the best looking kids, all in one family. And so good, too. This was my second time photographing them (do you remember the baby from last year? She was in a brown/white polka dotted canvas bag with her name on it.) and I enjoyed them thoroughly.
Mommy & her girls.

The VonTrapp family singers and a few more for fun.
Great seeing you again, Sarg family! To see all of the images from this shoot, please click HERE.

the ribe family
Another squishy delicious newborn in a recent string of new babies.
We utilized every photographic inch of their home and yard and came out with some pretty great shots. But with a good looking bunch like this, how could you go wrong?
Of course, the “original baby” had to be in on the action too!
Camoflaged baby on the left.
And I was so happy because I finally got to use my nest!! I think he rather enjoyed being outside and naked in the beautiful, warm weather with a little breeze.
Being outside made his blue eyes really blue. It also caused other things to happen. Look closely at the picture on the left.
A little before and after.
The mural was painted by his aunt. So glad we worked it into a shot!
Look…my eyes are as big as the dots on the sheet!
Love this one, but couldn’t decide between color and black & white.

some bsquared business
So very much going on around here, trying to keep everyone in the loop.
1. The bsquared calendar for September- December is officially open for booking. You can find it here: http://www.bsquaredphotography.net/?page_id=3635. It has been the case that these dates book like wildfire, so if you are interested in a shoot, please book as soon as possible so you don’t miss out. First come, first served.
At this point, I will not be booking more times & dates then are currently listed on the calendar. I may open up some additional dates and times, but I am not promising that will be the case.
I will start a waiting list once (if) the current calendar fills up. I fit in almost everyone last year and hope to do the same this year, but the client list is growing. So, please book as soon as possible to lock in your spot.
2. This year all photos that are needed for the holidays must be taken by Monday 11/30. I will be booking very few shoots in December, but any pictures taken in December will not be available until mid to late January. Sorry, but no exceptions. Seriously.
3. Holiday cards- the 2009 templates will be up on the blog in August. (ok, can you even believe we are talking about holiday cards in July?) I’ll have lots of new and varied cards to choose from. All holiday card orders must be in by Monday, December 7th in order to ensure holiday delivery by December 15th. Again, no exceptions.
4. I have two last minute openings for this Sunday, July 19th. One at 3pm, one at 6pm. Email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net if you are interested.
5. I have 7 shoots yet to be edited, plus the 9 shoots currently booked for the remainder of July. So even though I’ll be ‘off’ in August, I’m not really going to be so off at all.
Edited to Add 6. Our family will be away on vacation in early August. This means two things- One, anyone waiting for pictures: I will edit them as soon as I can, so please just bear with me. I will be working on orders and edits during August, just not while away. And two- bsquared will be travelling to the following locations: Cleveland, Cinncinatti, Pittsburgh, and Detroit. If you are in one of those places and are interested in a shoot, please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net and we’ll see if we can work it out.
That’s all for now. I think. I’m going to leave this post up for a few days but expect a new one on Monday. Have a great weekend, everyone.

they came, they swam, they stayed over
Our very good friends (once from town, now from Michigan) were here for their annual visit with their family and we got our day too. We spent all day yesterday together, going to the beach, watching J & P play in an away baseball game, having sushi and italian, and the kids all slept stayed over.
This year’s transition period (the boys see eachother once a year and there’s always that period of awkwardness when they first get together) was the shortest we’ve ever seen. Actually, it wasn’t there at all. Jack and Connor have been exchanging letters recently and I think that’s probably helped. They were all so excited to see eachother and got right into playing. Even Timmy and Katie jumped right in- it was like they saw eachother last week, not last summer.
My gorgeous goddaughter! Love her. I even got to comb her hair (she said I did a good job) and got unsolicited hugs.
The Z kids all spent the night here. And honestly, I couldn’t believe they stayed up as late as they did. After my boys had been up late 2x during the week, they spent the day in the ocean and the pool and played baseball or ran around in the park, I thought they would crash and hard. Nope. The little ones (Katie slept in Timmy’s room- that was Timmy’s first sleepover) stayed up until 11:30pm and the big kids were up until 12. It probably would’ve been later if I hadn’t gone up there and told them it was enough. Man, that was a lot of giggling.
And I was informed that they were all up between 6:30 and 7am this morning. Can you say bedtime by 8 tonight??
We had a great visit and I’m happy to report that we will be seeing the Z family again in 3 weeks, but this time on their turf in Michigan.
