and it’s on!
And the winners are…… Jen Botta & Lisa Cheek. Congrats to both of you!! Please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net to claim your $50 bsquared gift cards.
(how I got the winners: I used Random.org to generate two numbers out of 261 which is the # of fans as of 12:16am when I did the drawing. I assigned a number to each ‘fan’ based on the order in which people signed up.)
Another contest/give away to come soon! Thank you to all of you who signed up as fans!!!
The first ever bsquared photography/facebook fan page givewaway. Here’s the deal: All you have to do is become a fan of bsquared photography on Facebook (you can either go here or click on the tab on the left side of the blog to get there), and you are automatically entered. I will be randomly choosing 2 ‘fans’ at the very end of the day today who will each win a $50 gift card to be used toward a bsquared shoot. The gift card is fully transferrable (so if you win but want to give the gc to someone else to use, you totally can) and is valid thru December of 2010.
Good luck! Can’t wait to see who wins!! I will announce the winners late tonight (like real late- around 1am or later) on here and on Facebook.
And I’ll do another contest when my ‘fans’ reach 350. So tell your friends to sign up too!
Just a random picture from DC this past weekend, cause a post is just blah without one.

7 for sunday (again, on Monday)
A day late and a dollar short…
1. Spent this past weekend in Washington DC with John and the boys, my parents, and my really good friend from U of Miami- Nate and his wife Colleen and their gorgeous little girls. Lots of pictures coming soon on all of that.
2. A recent self portrait. Wow, grey hairs much? Thought those were covered a little more with the blonde highlights… Apparently not.
3. An update that I’m really happy to share with all of you who follow the blog. That friend of mine who was critically ill (the friend with the virus that attacked her heart) is doing SO much better. She is out of the ICU, off all the pumps and machines, was able to visit with her children a few times, and the doctors think she might make it home in time for Easter! Keep those prayers coming though, she can always use more!! (Guess they really worked so far, so thank you to everyone who took a minute out to pray for her and her family!)
4. Since I can’t donate blood for my other friend on this coming Tuesday’s drive I thought I would stop by the buffet afterwards and take some pictures for them. So if you are donating blood and heading over to Monaghans, look for me with my camera. I should probably be there from 7-9 or thereabouts. Please consider giving blood and giving the gift of life. Here’s the details again:
4. In the mindset for giving? I have another foundation that I’d love for you to read about. It’s called My Best Friend and it benefits people with Fanconi’s Anemia. You can read a bit about it here. I have donated a mini session to their big yearly fundraiser, FiestA for FA. One of their grand prizes is a gift certificate for a puppy, including a consulation with an AKC representative to help pick out the best breed to fit your family. The mini session I donated will be included with that prize and I’ll go do a shoot for the family and their new puppy. How much fun will that shoot be?
5. My cute shoes. The day I wore them, it was freeeeeezing but they were too cute to take off. I suffered through.
6. Going to be running a little bsquared photography giveaway this week. But in order to be qualified, you have to be a bsquared photography fan on Facebook. So… if you go to the bsquared photography fan page and sign up, you are automatically registered for the give away. You can also get to the facebook fan page with the tab on the left side of the blog- a nice new little added feature! Will announce the details of the giveaway later this week. Tell all your friends to become a fan too!
7. Running headlong into Communion season and Spring shoots starting this weekend. There will be tons of new posts on the blog coming soon. The lull is almost over!

10/15 wedding for TT
I am closed for business in August (only available for a few newborn sessions) and will open the September-December calendar in May or June. However if you have a specific date for an event (wedding, party, family in from out of town, etc) during September-December, email me and we can get your spot reserved now.
On the top of the blog under b2 info you can find the link to the bsquared prices and policies.
You can reach me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net or 516.581.1626 for booking your appointment. Looking forward to a summer of great shoots (with hopefully warm, sunny weather)!
And because a post is no fun without a picture, here’s one of my favorite pirates from our Disney trip in February. Working on editing my first video ever- which is the whole Pirate’s League experience.
Hope everyone has a great day!

birth announcements
Although there is one missing from the picture (my nephew no less. can’t find it anywhere!) here are a few of the birth announcements I made for clients this year and last. With the many newborn shoots I’ve been doing, figured it would be a good idea to throw some samples up on the blog.
There were a LOT of girls!

love month mini session special!
I’ve been working on a special idea for Feburary; after all it is love month!
I’m offering 10 mini session spots for February and March (mini sessions are normally only available during Sept-November and are for holiday card pictures. I don’t offer them at other times of the year.) with a percentage of the proceeds going to TWLOHA, a foundation that I really admire.
TWLOHA (which stands for To Write Love On Her Arms) is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. You can read more about To Write Love On Her Arms here.
I first heard of TWLOHA on PostSecret and thought it was so fantastic. For a number of reasons the movement just spoke to me and in honor of ‘love month’ I thought it would be great to do something to show the love!
So, how does this relate to you? If you book a minisession (times and dates below) a portion of each shoot will be donated directly to TWLOHA. A mini session runs 30 minutes, includes only the members of your immediate family, no clothing changes, and gives you your choice of 20 images from your online gallery as 4×6 proofs and those images on a high resolution disc. Normally, I name the location, but for the special, I’ll come to you. Travel costs may apply out of Nassau Co. The cost for the mini session is $200.
I’m hoping the spots go quickly (they do in the fall) and I can donate a good amount! Please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net with the time and date you’d like and we’ll get you booked up!
Saturday, February 13 spots available at: 3:30pm
Sunday, February 28th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm
Sunday, March 14th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm
Saturday, March 20th 9am only
Saturday, March 27th spots available at: 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm
Hope to hear from you so we can help this amazing foundation together!
