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.

the 2014 January-May bsquared calendar is open for booking!
A new year, a new slideshow on the top of the blog, a new Facebook bsquared page header banner and a new calendar open for booking! I’m happy to let you know that I am keeping my pricing the same as it was in 2013. (pricing & packages information can be found here). If you have an event on a date that is not listed on the calendar, please email me and we’ll see if we can work it out. In addition, I’ll be offering communion mini sessions this year- email me or leave a comment below if you are interested in one. You can find the link to the calendar here. Looking forward to seeing all of your smiling faces in 2014 and making it the best year for bsquared yet!
And because I hate posting without a photo, here’s a side off of the first annual bsquared christmas card.

deadlines & deliveries
Ahhh, a very engaging and exciting blog post heading your way today. Yeah, not really but gotta get it covered.
The deadline for ALL bsquared orders is Monday, December 9th. (discs, prints, enlargements, holiday cards, all bsquared products including mini books, storybook albums, lay flat albums, iPhone cases, canvases). This date ensures delivery in time for the holidays. And I will not be able to accept any orders after 12/9.
This is what my office looked like at about 12am this morning: (sorry about the blurry spots, don’t want to give away anyone’s christmas cards!) via crappy iPhone picture. All the yellow stickies are so I know what each order is still waiting for to be completed.
And then what it looked like around 2am. My packaging elves (read: me) were very busy last night.
I’m expecting a ton more deliveries today and early next week. Keep those orders coming!! I’m heading back to editing, expect some more fantabulous blog posts next week. And then in January, I will have a chance to edit and blog all my personal pictures from the summer, fall and winter. I hope.

in the weeds
I am so far in the weeds that at this point you couldn’t find me with a thresher. Or some other farm equipment. Taking a “break” from blogging client sessions today (and not because I’m not editing nearly 24/7) but I have a busy day ahead today with some paperwork, order packing, and a trip into NYC for a luncheon. Client sessions back in full swing tomorrow.
Wanted to mention that the fall 2013 bsquared calendar is now fully booked. If you’re interested in a session but didn’t get a date, please email me and I’d be happy to add you to the waiting list. Sometimes people do have to cancel or reschedule so you never know what might open up. At this time, I’m not adding anymore dates but if I can catch up a little on editing I might open a day or two more for sessions. Maybe. How’s that for certainty? A big thank you to all of my fantastic bsquared clients both old and new who make my calendar so busy and my files so filled with amazing photos!!
And cause I hate posting without a picture, we’ve had some awesome skies and sunsets this late summer/fall.

sailing into fall (more like hurdling thru space out of control into fall)
So far everyone who has seen me in person this morning has asked if I’m okay. The only thing I can say about that is “it’s busy season!”. So yes, I’m fine but completely in over my head and so beyond tired. If you do see me in person over the next 3 months, just expect that I’m going to look exhausted, disheveled (more than normal), and like that proverbial deer in the headlights. Glad our December Florida vacation is booked and I can just keep my eye on that, but just have to make it thru busy season first.
Editing like a psycho, doing a million shoots, processing client orders, packing orders, blogging, getting out the last of the welcome packets, bookkeeping, and working on some projects for later this year all at once. Plus, dealing with all the things that having two boys as freshmen in high school in NYC brings (in a brand new school that is extremely challenging) and a 3rd grader with an occasionally busy modeling career and my head is about to pop right the eff off. So, just be kind and lie and say I don’t look like death warmed over even when I do.
Tomorrow a real blog post is coming your way but today Timmy and I are off to Brooklyn for him to film a commercial. Ya know, in my free time.
