this has been my only source of exercise…

Playing red rover with kids on photo shoots. (It gets them to hold hands so I can take their photo. But I do have to play along a bit first.) Until tonight when we FINALLY purchased a family pass to the YMCA. Red Rover will NO LONGER be my only source of exercise! Woo hoo!!…

stuff you need…continued

All right, so you may recall the super cute Paperlili t-shirts that Miles modeled last weekend. Well, Cristy, the genius behind Paperlili clothing, asked me if I wouldn’t mind photographing a few of her clothing items for moms. Well before it truly donned on me that I would be the one modeling the clothes and…

    Those are great – I made a light pink one for myself – but I can’t wait to see who does these darling scarves – their are a few colors I’d like to add to my collection – not to mention the bedazzled bottoms! So cute!

    Can’t wait to see the debut – no sunglasses needed – just smile and be your pretty self!

  • CassieNovember 8, 2008 - 2:10 pm

    Ooooo, I’m excited to hear!!

    And I LOVE your cowboy boots; if I could wear mine with everything, I would. They are so comfy.

  • Jessica ParkisonNovember 8, 2008 - 8:23 pm

    Sweet cowboy boots! And the scarves….the suspense is killing me! Look forward to the debut and your modeling skills!

  • AmyNovember 10, 2008 - 6:16 am

    cute scarves….LOVE the boots! You must share where you got them!!!!!!

happy birthday Olivia!

For you LONG time blog readers, you may remember Olivia. She was one of my earliest photography clients for her first birthday last year and her cuteness won the heart of Matilda Jane and was a model for the spring line. We were back to shoot her two year photos last weekend. She’s all grown…

    Betsy – Thank you, thank you, thank you…not only for taking amazing pictures of me and my family but for helping to make Olivia so comfortable around you and John. She felt totally herself and I can see that in some of the pictures you shared. We all had a great time with you guys that day. It was obvious Olivia enjoyed herself because she is still talking about it! I cannot wait to see more! And as with all of your photos, I am beyond impressed! Thanks again! 🙂

  • Sherry SmithNovember 7, 2008 - 5:02 pm

    Oh how precious. Brings back memories of, when you were that age, Betsy. We need to post some of your young modeling ones!

  • Aunt DeliaNovember 7, 2008 - 7:33 pm

    Oh My Gosh!

    Betsy, you are amazing!!! Livie is such a cutie, but she also can’t sit still! Not only do you manage to capture her on film, but you capture all her cuteness and sweetness!

    As I scrolled down, I kept finding new favorites – and then when I got to that last photo…….

    Can’t wait to see the rest!!!!

  • Kim GilbertNovember 7, 2008 - 9:04 pm

    I am one of Jessica’s friends. I also do photography and I have been a fan of yours since she posted your site on her blog. I am in awe at your eye and ability to capture the spirit in anyone you photograph. You do amazing work and Olivia looks so precious!

  • MollyNovember 8, 2008 - 11:47 am

    I’m sorry, but she has got to be the most adorable femme-child I’ve seen in FOREVER. . . . Does mom believe in arranged marriages? :o)My six year old son says she’s a “pretty girl”.

  • JudyNovember 8, 2008 - 2:12 pm

    Your ability to capture personality on film is impressive. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos. You should be shooting for Baby Gap! You have such a unique talent. Judy (Olivia’s Nana)

  • Susan JapingaNovember 8, 2008 - 3:56 pm

    Wow, these are such beautiful pictures…you really did capture her bubbly personality so perfectly…you are a great photographer…I am so impressed…Aunt Sue Sue

  • Shannon SculleyNovember 9, 2008 - 11:18 am

    I am truly inspired by your creativity. Olivia is such a beautiful one, and your pictures of her seem as if she simply posed, just for you. You definitely are a natural…do you make house calls to Florida? 🙂

  • MichelleJune 8, 2009 - 7:37 pm

    gorgeous~!! Love those eyes!

I have been waiting years

To finally get to dress my child in the Gap winter bright stripe line. There is just something about the simplicity of the rainbow stripes that gets me. Not that I’ll buy all these things at once, but I have seriously spent my non-child years drooling over Gap’s holiday line and it’s finally MY TURN!… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...
