another computer update & chocolate milkshakes
First, a little business. They are coming tonight to take the computer (it's telling that my palms are actually sweating) for a cleaning and upgrade. So I will be without photoediting access for a few days. I will still be checking my emails (and facebook) if you need to reach me. If you are waiting for pictures or edits or other photo related projects, I will get your requests done as soon as I can once the computer comes back which had better be soon!!
On Sunday, we decided at the last minute to take a drive out east (Outlets in Riverhead and Coronet in Greenport). The big boys were in dire need of new sneakers and after driving all over Nassau county on Saturday with no luck, we figured we could try the outlets instead. So, to make a day of it we went to our favorite luncheonette in Greenport. The Coronet- home of the BEST chocolate milkshakes. Ever.
Happiness at the wheel. 
You can see how happy Patrick is getting his picture taken, right? 
A stop at the 'pie farm' for supplies.
No trip to Greenport would be complete without a trip to the "duck store" with some purchases of course.
The best part (well, besides the milkshakes)? I found the baby scale I've been looking for over the last 9months or so. Wait til you see the first pictures with it! So worth every penny of the $39.
Tried to get the ingrates to stop along the road and take some pictures, but they wouldn't do it. And we did find some sneakers. Mission complete.

the mcbr 60th anniversary
Yes, you read that right. 60TH wedding anniversary! Such a huge deal so of course there was a great big party to celebrate the happy couple.
It was a surprise, and was it ever! They definitely had no idea- they thought they were coming to the country club for brunch with another couple who are also members. As they walked into the room I heard them say "I think we're in the wrong place". Nope- the totally right place with all their friends and family and tons of love and congratulations!
Way too many good looking people! (and a special thanks to Paul for helping coordinate this shot with EVERYONE!)
And a lovely (and delicious I am told) cake.
Congrats again O and V. I had a wonderful time capturing your special day. All of the pictures are in an album to your left. Enjoy and here's to another 60 years!

bsquared & bcause i said so CASTING CALL
In conjuction with Lauren & Denise's clothing line, www.bcauseisaidso.com, bsquared photography is hosting a casting call. We're looking for baby girls or baby boys who fit into 3-6 month clothing size.
Here are the details:
We need three baby girls or baby boys (preferably 2 girls and 1 boy) who currently wear a 3-6 month clothing size for a very mini-photoshoot wearing one of the new lines from bcause i said so. The shoot will be at Beth's home and will run about 20 minutes. Time permitting, I will be happy to take a few shots of your little one for you as well. For a $75 fee, you would receive up to 10 4×6 printed proofs, those photos on a disc, and you can take the shirt from the shoot home. (This shoot has a comparable value to a mini-session of $175 and is normally only offered Sept-December). The pictures may be used on the bcauseisaidso website and in any advertising they may do in any medium, but there is no guarantee that the photos will be used. We are looking to do these shoots as soon as possible.
If you are interested, please contact me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net. Please pass the word on to your friends as well.

Modeliscious! (aka the schw 11th bday party)
Warning: tons of pictures. You can see the rest (yes, there are lots more) in the album on the left.
I'm certain that you will remember this sassy/beautiful redhead from a holiday shoot (and maybe even from her grandfather's 80th bday party which I also shot). Well, her mom was throwing around some birthday party ideas and a photoshoot party actually won out! So I was at the party snapping away the most FUN pictures for the afternoon.
All the girls brought and borrowed and swapped crazy outfits and then did their best 'america's next top model' THANG for my camera. And it's seriously a miracle that any of the photos are in focus cause I was laughing so hard for the whole thing. They came up with the best poses (all by themselves) and funniest outfits.
Let me just say this was a GREAT party idea. And the kids get the pictures of all their friends together having fun.
Work it, girls!
Even mom and her friend got in on the action! How can you not love fun parents like these?!

islanders game & computer news
First, the computer news. If you are a bsquared client, this may apply to you.
I am NOT getting the imac- way too many issues in converting. I am, however, getting a spruce up on my current PC- additional memory, a good cleaning, and a nice new big fat 24" screen! This means that the computer (and all photo related applications) will be out of commission from this Friday 1/23 until the middle of the following week. So if you are waiting to see your photos, need to do any editing, ordering, etc. I will only be able to do that for you after 1/29. If I already received your requests, I will do my best to get that out to you before Friday. I think it'll be great with the updates (for all of us) and I can't wait to edit on that HUGE screen!
**I will be checking email during the computer overhaul, so feel free to email me and I will get back to you asap.
Hakka (aka Grandpa Ken) took us all to an Islanders game on Monday and we had a great time. I always forget how much I really enjoy watching hockey (only live though- on TV is too boring) and how fun the games are. Even though I don't go very much (we used to have season tickets when I was a kid and I was a huge Nystrom fan. The good old days with no helmets and winning Islanders!) I would be so sad if they moved away as the rumor goes. Going to try to get to one more game this season. At least.
Disclaimer: these were all taken with the point n shoot. Can't bring the big guns to the game.
It was Timmy's first game. He really liked it. Tired himself out bopping up and down on the seats for 25 minutes and fell asleep for the last period of the game and all the way home too.
Jack and Patrick enjoyed the pretzels and the game too. And John said he is just happy he's not more than a casual fan cause he can't stand them sucking.
Thanks for a great time Hakka!!
