some stuff (summer calendar, communions, senior sessions, products & ordering)
Sorry, couldn’t think of a catchier title for my blog post today. A few things worth mentioning- the bsquared summer calendar (june-august) will be up on the blog for booking on Monday, April 14th. In past years, beach sessions book very quickly so if that’s something you have in mind you might want to book that as soon as you can. Cannot wait to be shooting on the beach again in warm weather!!! Its hard to imagine with the freezing temps and howling wind we’re having here today that it’s only 2 months away, but it is!
Being that the weather is supposed to be turning nice (freaking finally) soon, don’t rule out booking a spring time shoot. Only 5 spots available for April and 5 available for May. You can find the current bsquared calendar here. Shoot me an email or leave a comment here if you’re interested in booking a date for a springtime session. Communion season is rapidly approaching and things are going to get really busy here at bsquared, which I am really, really looking forward to. Been a horribly long winter with not much going on in the way of sessions (it’s freezing, ugly and brown & grey outside. i don’t want to be out there shooting and obviously, no one else does either!) If you haven’t booked your communion session there are a very few dates remaining. Don’t forget, you don’t have to do your communion session (mini or full) on the exact day of your communion. Sometimes its more relaxed to get dressed up in your communion finery and do the session on a totally different day where there is no rush to get to church or the party, or have to take care of all the other details of the day. You can email me at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com or just use the contact button on the top of the blog.
Speaking of May and warmer weather, if you have a graduating high school senior this year, please consider a bsquared senior session. You get way more options (both in terms of location, outfits, “props” and number of prints in your package) than you do with the traditional school photography with the blue background. We can even do the cap and gown shot as well. Wouldn’t you love to have this very fleeting, special time of your high school senior with all their interests, personality and just them captured before they leave for college? You can find more about the bsquared senior sessions here and find some photos from last year’s bsquared seniors here. To book, shoot me an email at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com or click the contact button at the top of the blog.
And lastly, here are some bsquared products that went to their home today. So happy to see clients printing big, gorgeous images to be displayed in their homes. (when it comes to printing, I’m pretty much a “bigger is better” advocate). Here are two 16×20 mounted prints from their beach session, with 3 mini books that mom went crazy for. She can’t wait to keep one and share the other two with family. Sharing is caring, ya know.
If you haven’t yet ordered your prints, disc, enlargements, albums, etc from your 2013 (or earlier for you slackers ;)) bsquared session, you may want to do that soon! I’ll be clearing out the archives to make some room for the 2014 sessions. You can order by shooting me an email at bethbeyrer at yahoo dot com or by clicking the contact button above on the blog. I’m more than happy to help you if you’ve forgotten what you have included in your package, with choosing images to enlarge, with framing, with albums- whatever you need.

introducing…the storybook album
Because you have a story to tell! (and that story is awfully garbled and difficult to hear while being told from your kitchen drawer where your disc is).
So, let me ask you: where are your bsquared session photos? In a drawer? A few in frames, but most put away and you can’t quite remember where? And how about your session disc-hmmmm, where IS that thing?
Lets face it- every picture from your session isn’t going to be framed and hung as a huge 20×30 wall print. That one with everyone making funny faces or your son picking his nose? Probably not something you want hanging over your mantle, but you just looooove that picture and it always makes you smile when you look at. So, why leave all those shots that aren’t quite wall worthy, (but still are a big part of your story) in a drawer or on a disc no one ever sees? That makes me kinda sad! Let’s get those nose picking, giggling, pouty, silly, jumping, cuddly, ridiculous pictures that are uniquely your family, out there for everyone to see your story!
So happy to have a new addition to the bsquared family of products- the storybook album! The storybook falls right in-between the layflat album and the luxe album. Deliciously thick pages with a mix of full bleed images (pictures that go from side to side and top to bottom of the page) and clean collages with a number of images per page. A photo wrap around cover and back. Gutterless pages (so you don’t get a black line and a gap between the left and right pages with that line going right down the middle of someone’s head!) And most importantly, your choice of the number of pages between 10 (20 spreads) and 50 pages (100 spreads) all to tell your family’s story.
You are welcome to use images from one or several bsquared sessions, all combined into one storybook. I’ll design the book for you and you’ll get to see a proof before it’s sent to print for any changes you’d like to make. Storybook albums come in 5×5″, 8×8, 10×10 and 12×12 sizes and prices start at $375. Not a bad deal for a lifetime of memories in your very own custom storybook!

a wedding album
Just a few pictures (that I took last fall in Central Park- yeah, I know) of Jess & Ian’s wedding album I thought I would share today.
Going to be trying a new vendor for a new kind of album that I’m hoping to put into rotation for bsquared. More of a storybook for family sessions. I’ll keep you posted, but let me know what you think of that idea. -
holiday deadlines, 2013 info
Not a very catchy title for a blog post, I know. But a little housekeeping is in order for today.
If you haven’t yet ordered your holiday cards, tomorrow FRIDAY 12/7 is the last day to do so. I’m happy to help you with a proof and photo selection. You can find the 2012 card collection here.
If you haven’t yet placed an order for your prints and disc from your 2012 bsquared session, or if you’d like to order any bsquared products (iPhone cases, canvases, mini books, window frames, lay flat albums) or enlargements for guaranteed holiday delivery, all orders are due no later than this MONDAY 12/10.
If you’re interested in any of the above items, or Organic Bloom frames or Luxe albums for delivery AFTER the holidays, please shoot me an email and we can get started on your order. I’m also more than happy to come to your home in the new year to help you measure, select color swatches, design a whole wall gallery..whatever you need.
The bsquared 2013 calendar (by the way, just need to mention that I think this may have been the fastest year ever. I feel like I just opened the 2012 calendar!) will be open for booking by 1/7/13 for sessions held in January thru May 2013. If you’ve already contacted me about a 2013 session, I do already have you on the calendar and will be in touch with you to get you your welcome packet and work out all of the details for your session or event after 1/7/13. I’m looking forward to another year of smiling faces, giggles, happy families and clients who become friends!
Thank you to all of you for making 2012 a great year!! Back to regular blogging tomorrow, but I can’t do a blog post without a picture. So here’s one of warmer days…

pretty, plum & luxe
I recently received a gorgeous album that I created for a client and wanted to share a few pictures of it with you. I was beyond happy with the way it turned out, and seeing my client pour over each page while smiling from ear to ear just made it all the more special!
Here’s the bsquared 10×10″ Luxe album in plum leather with a custom monogram. Taking pictures of pictures never comes out that great, but you can see how gorgeous the whole album is with it’s deliciously thick pages, sturdy binding and panoramic layout (so there’s no breaks in the middle of the two pages, giving it a totally seamless presentation). If you’re thinking about ordering a luxe album from your session or event, I have samples in the office to share with you. I promise you will see why the luxe albums are luxe!!
I’ll be back after the weekend with a ton of new posts (after having a 5 session week this week, I’ll have plenty of new material to blog!) Happy Friday!
