Gail

This shoot was for my good friend Gail’s upcoming new website. Holy smokes, I’ve already seen some of the mock-ups she has created with my photos and good gracious it’s going to be a cool site. Before we check out her photos, let me just tell you that Gail is one cool chick. She is…

  • DebbieJuly 22, 2009 - 9:32 pm

    When I grow up I wanna be just like Gail – adorable! I simply ADORE these pictures! AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! So Audrey chic! Whooooo! Great job both of you!

  • KristinJuly 22, 2009 - 10:27 pm

    She is stunning and this shoot is simply beautiful– great music choice for slideshow, btw.

  • Courtney ReeceJuly 22, 2009 - 10:45 pm

    OK so you just used Holy Smokes and Good Gracious in the same sentence, which earns you 2 million cool points. 🙂 LOVE these photos, Gail is awesome and gorgeous!

  • Maya LaurentJuly 22, 2009 - 11:53 pm

    Awesome Betsy! Way to capture Gail! I love the bike ones!!! I totally see you two giggling through this whole shoot! 🙂

    She is so stinkin’ cute! WOW … she’s beautiful! Your b&w conversion is soooo pretty!

  • BetsyJuly 23, 2009 - 12:39 am

    I forgot to mention that that birthday slumber party was THIS year. : )

  • jess@studio3zJuly 23, 2009 - 2:10 am

    OH MY GOOOOODNESS!!!! Gail you are freaking HOTNESS and a half! Dang it….that close up is breathtaking! The beach cruiser, the magazine, the tiny yellow flowers….love it all!!

    Even though I have only met you once Gail, I know you are a SUPER cool person, who is so genuine and rare. These photos are so exemplary of who you are. 🙂 Way to go Bets!!

    (and yes, you girls are the slumber party gigglers) 😉

  • anna deeJuly 23, 2009 - 2:18 am

    ahhh loveee it! shes sooo gorgeous! i really like the bike pictures!

  • LOJuly 23, 2009 - 3:36 am

    gail… YOU belong in a magazine. enough said.. nice work bets!

  • GailJuly 23, 2009 - 4:07 am

    Betsy, I love you to pieces. And folks, when Betsy says it is worth investing in yourself to have your photos taken, I can assure you, it SO is. Ask your hubby for this to be your next birthday or Xmas present. I think too often we see ourselves in a “point and shoot” kind of mindset. Hiring a professional to help you see the REAL you? Well, now, that’s just priceless and it really does make you feel so good. Even now, I’m still all, “Seriously, is that ME?” HA!

    PS – Betsy, in between building a new web site, taking photos and working a job, I’m building a time machine in the garage that will make that whole neighbor thing THAT much more possible 🙂

  • AprilJuly 24, 2009 - 12:11 pm

    She is gorgeous!

  • EyegirlJuly 24, 2009 - 3:45 pm

    Your photos are awesome and Gail is absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to have our pictures taken by you. I’m going to be sooooooo spoiled to have two sessions with you a month apart! 🙂

  • Kerri BanyasJuly 25, 2009 - 2:31 pm

    Great Job Betsy! Gail is such a beauty and you captured her personality perfectly! LOVE them!

  • Katie BeverleyJuly 26, 2009 - 1:33 am

    Gorgeous, Bets!

popcorn jumping

I gave our neighbor kids some of our craft puffballs tonight to jump on their trampoline because it’s SOOOOO much fun to do. (…and how mean would we be to jump on our trampoline with the puff balls bouncing around and not share? Jumping on a trampoline with puffballs on it is pretty irresistible.) It’s…

Logan’s sneak peek

Remember Debbie, Mike & Logan from last summer? (If you haven’t seen those photos, check them out. You won’t believe how gorgeous Logan’s eyes were and just how darn cute the whole family was.) Well, another year later and this family just gets cuter and cuter. This time we left the suburbs and headed downtown…

    I’m so glad you posted these! Just from reading your blog faithfully i feel like i’ve gotten to know Amy…I know, can seem creepy 🙂 Definately love the socks! All of my socks are some funky stripe and i usually just mix and match them! Who cares!?!?

    So glad you were able to share this day with your bestie.

  • Heidi RJuly 20, 2009 - 10:56 pm

    How fun to see all the pre-wedding festivities! Thanks for sharing so many photos. You’re right; it was an amazing cele- bration! I’m attending another reception for the lovely couple tonight in MN. And if you ever find yourself back in Minneapolis under better circumstances, your BFF knows how to contact me 🙂

  • Maya LaurentJuly 25, 2009 - 7:34 pm

    I love the three photos of the two of you! It looks like your friendship is so fun just from the photos!

you can totally wear it again

You hear it all the time about bridesmaid attire, “You can totally wear that again…” I don’t know when I’ll have the occasion to bust out my hot pink strapless dress again (though I will definitely keep my eyes open) but I’m telling you, the accessories I wore as a bridesmaid have been worn on… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

    If you could stop being so stinkin’ cute and making the rest of us look bad, that would be awesome. K? Thanks 🙂

  • Rebekah WallaceJuly 16, 2009 - 12:14 pm

    oh betsy, 2001 was marked by beaded bracelets, winter 2008 by the burnt orange pashmina….fast forward to 2009 and you might see the black wrap dress 3 times a week…once for work with heels, at the farmers market with beads and flats, and maybe even a date night in there…

  • ErickaJuly 16, 2009 - 12:22 pm

    Ditto what Sarah said….

  • GailJuly 16, 2009 - 12:39 pm

    Ummm..yeah, so if I didn’t know I loved you already, this post TOTALLY cemented the deal 🙂

  • SherryJuly 16, 2009 - 12:41 pm

    your creativity always puts a smile on my face. You Rock Girl. love MOM

  • Mary DoughertyJuly 22, 2009 - 8:52 pm

    those are great accessories – I’m sure I have “year of” outfits but never thought of it like that, but I think I might keep track now. just found your blog for the first time + it looks great!

  • Maya LaurentJuly 25, 2009 - 7:35 pm

    I love it! Betsy, you are just awesome! I’m trying to get more “length” out of my clothes and this inspires me even more for that!
