Cassie and Jason’s wedding, photographed by Betsy & John Photography and Bobbi + Mike Photography is now complete! I just finished this video to share their beautiful story.

    Beautiful couple. Beautiful day. Beautiful pictures. I feel like I was there. I feel like I know them. But only in this crazy blog world =)

  • gailJuly 28, 2008 - 5:48 pm

    GORGEOUS!!!! Bets, it’s so great to see all that hard work of yours pay off. And I knew as soon as “True Companion” started playing that I was just gonna fall so in love with this slideshow. I almost picked that song for Nick and I’s wedding day slideshow!!! πŸ™‚

  • CandiceJuly 28, 2008 - 6:20 pm

  • +mikeJuly 28, 2008 - 8:13 pm

    That’s a helluva set of images for your first wedding!

    You and John have a natural eye and just “get it.” Everything looks great…you guys totally would have rocked it out on your own and should be confident in doing so in the future!

    Wow Betsy & John! That was amazing! I can’t even begin to pick my favorites. Well, maybe I can… the dark hallway piano shot… Cassie on the ladder… the look on Cassie’s face as her dad walks her down the aisle… C&J walking down the aisle newly married… the cat shot made me laugh… oh- there were so many more… The newlyweds must be absolutely thrilled. πŸ™‚

sunday morning

We are moving slow around here this morning. Miles is down for his morning nap, John’s reading the paper and I am leaving the breakfast dishes in the sink to process a few photos I took this morning. I’m a sucker for big, blue watery eyes. Miles has no idea how to smile for the…

i’m so add

I have been wildly productive this week with work and a pretty creative mom too, I must say. I even cooked actual meals too, instead of our old standby of a certain pasta recipe reserved for moments of extreme laziness. So no lounging on the couch eating bon bons for me this week. (Though there…

    ADORABLE! Sweet dreams!

sudsy afternoon

Yesterday I was getting ready to wash my cabinets and mop the floors and thought I would let Miles play in the suds for a bit and see if he wanted to help me out. I use an all natural non-toxic soap and since I was going to mop anyway, I let him make a…

    What beautiful light!

Video Night

Grab your popcorn! Tonight Miles is coming to you via video. One of the things Miles loves to do is turn the viewfinder screen around on the video camera so he can gaze at his own beautiful face. We, of course, think it’s hilarious. Please excuse Miles’ drooliness. The poor guy is teething. This video… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

    Goodness, Miles has an infectious laugh! That cracked me up and no embarrassment on the water one, I would have done the same! Great family photo, Bets. Hopefully Steve will get some great ones of you guys at the wedding in October. I heard it’s going to be a fun one. xo

  • Leslie WebberJuly 24, 2008 - 8:02 am

    I’m not sure what’s sweeter…watching Miles crack up at his own image in the view finder, John peeking around the corner, or how much love the two of you have for your little one. Every child should be so lucky!

    BTW, I’ve found my footing, and I’ve actaully had the chutzpah to charge my full amount for the last three sessions I’ve done. πŸ™‚ Guess what? No one batted an eye and I didn’t melt into the sidewalk. πŸ™‚

  • NatJuly 24, 2008 - 8:07 am

    Ellie says “Miles can talk??!!! What a big boy!”

  • annieJuly 24, 2008 - 8:45 am

    so as i am watching penny is sitting next to me, feverishly waving to miles. she is saying “Mi, Mi!” pretty stinking cute – on both ends! i love the whale pool – so much fun to watch. thanks for sharing – i am glad you ordered that picture – it is nice to see all three of you on the other side of the lens – what a great family picture! the dress looks fab, btw!

  • DoodleBunzJuly 24, 2008 - 9:57 am

    What adorable videos Betsy! Isn’t it funny how babies just loooooooooooove seeing themselves? I think Miles almost takes the cake though…or at least tied with my own little guy… πŸ˜‰

    Just wait till all he has on in a big pool is arm floaties and decides he’s brave enough to jump in allllll by himself. Omgoodness the freak outs that happened that day. (Cuz I mean, he’s only 18 months old!!)

    Thanks for sharing with all of us!

  • CandiceJuly 24, 2008 - 4:53 pm

    Oh gosh- your little man IS fearless! He had me worried too for a bit! And you look fabulous in the MJ kimono dress, darling! (I love it as well, and have it in both celery and blue… come to think of it, I own the entire momma collection). I’m telling ya, we’ll be working together for Denise before you know it! πŸ™‚

  • Anne WoehnkerJuly 24, 2008 - 10:46 pm

    Hey:) Loved the videos AND the family portrait . . . what a HAPPY family~ I loved the first video of Miles with John peaking in the background on the floor . . . too funny! And, I swear if there was EVER a Best Smile Award it would go to John King! Seriously, he could make millions just doing toothpaste commercials (as a back-up of course). Is he ALWAYS happy??????? Thanks for sharing:) Take care!

  • jamie burnettJuly 25, 2008 - 3:22 pm

    Betsy- You have the cutest stinkin family. I LOVE that video of miles checkin himself out. I would be you are an amazing mommy!

  • erinJuly 25, 2008 - 10:33 pm

    I love love love him. Both videos were awesome!!! xo

  • gailJuly 28, 2008 - 5:58 pm

    That video totally warms the heart. I gotta swing by your place again soon so I can hear little Miles’ laughter in person again! What a cutie!
