Once again, I left my camera at home while out and about so this time the photos are from our friend Chris and whoever grabbed his camera. John’s birthday was celebrated by an afternoon at a Tin Cap’s game last month. His best friend Chris came along with us and we all had a great…

Today is my dad’s birthday and I thought I would post a photo from the first day I met my dad. 😉 I remember looking at this photo when I was a kid and thinking it was the sweetest thing ever. I always loved how it was such a natural photo and not posed. Hmmmmmmm,…

awww, happy birthday to your dad!!! I can totally relate, my dad is older than most of my friend’s dads, he listens to NPR (bores me to tears at the moment) and takes me on dates when my mom is out of town 🙂 Love the story of he & Miles too!
-
i can only hope to look as good and be as energetic at 75! happy birthday! what a nice way to spend the day!
-
What a cute post Bets! My dad is older too, so I can relate to how you don’t THINK your dad is old until you talk to your friends by way of comparison 😉
As for the car rides, my dad was an Oldies fan – was then, still is now.
So sweet ….
-
This blew me away! We love you so much. You make memories wonderful. Let’s make many more. Mom & Dad
-
Great memories Betsy although your vivid description of our outfit and what was on TV while waiting for your date brought back horrific memories of what I was wearing at that same period of time in my life. Scary but we were cool …
-
Happy Birthday to your dad, Betsy! Lovely post, just don’t forget that camera next time. Those two holding hands on a walk, amazing imagery!
-
Happy Birthday to your father! My dad would have turned 73 this year, so it is a blessing that you have him around. Don’t forget your camera! 🙂
-
Aww, this is a wonderful post. I have the exact same memory re: listening to NPR in the car (and while Dad cooked dinner). Now I listen to it all the time, and it always makes me think of my dad 🙂
-
This makes me smile!! 🙂 (is that picture at sunrise cafe?)
-
I had to grin about the lemon pie. We do the same thing for my brother’s birthday.
-
Betsey, ahhhh. This is so great. I think sometimes it’s a small blessing to not have our cameras sometimes. I do sometimes leave mine behind on accident but it puts me more there, in the moment instead of behind the lens. This is such a sweet story about your dad.
It’s Saturday night, which means it’s time for another creative project by Bets and John. We created a slideshow of our day at the Johnny Appleseed Festival, but John didn’t write music to it. Instead he recorded the sounds at the festival, along with what Miles had to say about it, with his iphone. (The…

OmGAWSH Betsy…..that is THE cutest thing I’ve seen in…..um….yeah, forever! HOLY CUTE BATMAN! Thanks for sharing! 😉
-
That seriously makes my heart melt! 🙂 Such a great idea Betsy and John!
-
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
You are right, my heart just melted and is laying on the floor in a huge puddle!!!! This is adorable, such an awesome and cute idea.
I LOVE how Miles says “festival” and “feather”, you are right! Hysterical!
All of the background noise and goings on makes this really cool, too.
Great job, love it!
-
this is way way too cute. i am looking forward to more of these in the future. 🙂 there will be more right!? how cute is he when he says festival!? ah! he’s adorable. 🙂
-
We melted over and over, again. Loved it. So much!!!
-
OK, watched it THREE times! ADORABLE!!
-
HANDS DOWN my favorite slideshow I’ve ever seen! Love the audio!!!! Such a GREAT idea!!!
-
Wonderful … add my heart to the puddle … adorable! 😀 (Oh, and happy anniversary!)
-
Betsy, this is so, so, SO precious. It reminds me a lot of the slideshows my peers do in journalism and I think that’s why I gravitate toward this kind of documenting life versus just carrying a video camera around. So special!
Thanks for sharing. That little pumpkin of yours is the cutest. And holy crap – I can’t believe audio is that great off the iPhone. All the more reason I’m coveting one now! 🙂
-
ahh Betsy this is so cute! Miles is adorable!!
-
That is SUCH a great idea! It’s so incredibly cute that you used his voice – it will be so awesome to be able to listen to that when he is older! Love it!
-
Oh, Betsy this is great! I’ve been a blog stalker for quite a while, but I had to comment when I saw this. I watched it twice and Miles’ little voice is TOO cute.
-
You can’t get more precious than this! What a great keepsake for a fun weekend.
-
How utterly adorable!!
-
Seriously, the most adorable thing ever! Miles, you are so cute and you are incredibly lucky to have amazing parents who are documenting your life this way. Happy Fall!
-
Betsy, you have the cutest family ever! Thanks so much for sharing this with me! I loved this!! Miles is so, so and so doggone darling! I miss you guys! Come on over again soon! Love, Judy
-
its official…my ovaries are bursting and my heart just melted. LOL Sooooo cute. I can’t wait until I’m ready to have a kiddo one day and I hope it’s as adorable and entertaining as your little one 🙂
-
oh. my. goodness. Miles is so adorable!!! His little voice, AH!
-
I’m a long time follower but rare commenter…but have to break-out on this posting…SO CUTE! You’re family is lovely as lovely can be. Thanks so much for sharing.
-
I think that the JAF committee should use that for future advertising. I’m certain they’d be delighted to see it. You’ve managed to capture the essence of the day,…without the smells of the fires and food cooking. Did you try the sweet potato delight? It was really good! Also, I really like the way the festival has kid friendly activities. I love the way Miles responded to everything. 🙂
-
Oh my goodness, that is just insanely sweet and adorable!!!! Such a fun mix of sounds and Miles’ darling voice and of course, beautiful pictures to go with it all. I can’t get over how much your husband’s voice sounds like my brother-in-law also. Very awesome slideshow. =)
-
Oh my gosh!! Cutest idea ever!
-
Ok, It’s me. I keep watching this over and over. I just love the sound of my sweet baby boy’s voice!!!!!
-
that is the sweetest thing I have ever seen! i love his sweet little voice too!
-
That makes MY heart melt! I love how he says “festival” and “feather” too!!!!! And what a sweet voice! I did a similar thing with my son a few years ago, when he was 6, and I can tell you that I totally treasure that voiceover now that his voice is starting to change. Seriously. It happens SO fast. I know everybody says that. It’s TRUE!
-
So cute! What an awesome idea, Betsy!
-
very cute. i really liked miles “feather” as well. what a fun tradition you guys have with the festival –
-
FestiBal…that is adorable!!!!!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!

Oh so beauitful! This is just priceless. What an incredible memory you captured!
-
That is so cute Betsy! Priceless….
-
will you come and record our life for us!? oh how you’re REALLY going to cherish these photos and recordings some day! just think what he’ll sound like in 13 years when his voice drops…this precious recording is priceless!
Doing Nicole’s shoot was yet again, just like hanging around town with an old friend. I swear, so many of the seniors I photograph feel like girls that could be my little sister. (Ahem….I’m sure some would say they could be my daughters, but I prefer little sister!!) I feel like a broken record because…

She totally IS! I love that first one. Wow. Beautiful.

Seriously… you get the prettiest (and most photogenic) seniors ever! I’m sure part of that has to do with the photographer though! 😉 Another amazing session! 🙂 These girls are so blessed to have these images of themselves and I’m sure they’ll appreciate them more and more as they get older!
-
She is amazingly gorgeous! The lighting is GLORIOUS! Beautiful work, Betsy!

Ok. So you’ve been on my RSS for months, but I havn’t really commented before. So I’m doing a lot of months in one 🙂 Love your profiles. I help a photographer who is very much into nature shots, so I like how you do the urban shots. And your boy is very cute Hope to be as good as you someday Greetings from South Africa
Today is our four year wedding anniversary and I thought instead of sharing a wedding photo, I would share a photo from when we were first dating. (That’s me before I had Invisalign.) Here’s us at the Johnny Appleseed festival, our FAVORITE thing to do next to dressing up for Halloween. Since we love that…

Chandler & I were reading your post at school during a free period and we totally flipped when you mentioned book orders. We were OBSESSED with them in elementary & middle school. Yep… we definitely spent the next ten minutes gabbing about book order
-
I get just as excited about book orders!! And Happy Anniversary Late!!
The music was hilarious! I’m so bummed we didn’t get to go to a game this summer—it looks like so much fun!
Oh, Betsy – that was great. And I haven’t heard that song since college days!
