    a little sun & beach

    Looking out my office window it’s snowing hard today. All the more reason to post up some beach & sun pictures from our recent Florida vacation. Woke up early one day to get them all out for a sunrise session on the beach. So worth it! (and don’t hate. I’m in the snow and freezing with the rest of you now).Patrick.Jack.Yup, there really is a height discrepancy between them now.Timmy.

    ali’s beach birthday

    Yeah, so this was like July. I’m aware how lame it is that I am this far behind in editing and posting personal pictures. Ali, an excellent bsquared assistant and babysitter celebrated her 21st birthday this past summer at the Ocean Club with lots of familiar faces. For my photografriends out there, all pictures taken with the Fuji x100. Gotta use that camera more often.

    I just did their newborn baby boy’s shoot this past weekend…They now own my puppy…You’ll recognize them from their newborn and holiday shoots…Grandparents…Celebrating the birthday girl. Moonrise/sunset.
    Stay tuned for lots ore summer pictures. And fall. And maybe even Spring. Well, at least the pictures remind us that it won’t always be below 20 degrees in New York.

    just a little update on holiday season

    Hi blog stalkers! Just a super quick update on all things bsquared.

    editing your sessions– I’m fully “in the weeds” between shooting and editing all the recent (and upcoming) sessions for the holidays. Sandy really screwed things up around here business wise so I’m doing the best I can to catch up. I’m currently running 2-3 weeks from the session until galleries are completed. Why does it take that long? Well, most people don’t know that it takes me a minimum of 4 HOURS to edit EACH SESSION (2.5 for each mini session). The hour of shooting is kinda the easy part. The hours upon hours at the computer editing all of your photos to perfection (not to mention the emailing, uploading, blogging, saving to multiple backups, christmas card proofing, bookkeeping, order placement, packing, shipping, etc- none of which are included in those 4hrs of editing time) are exhausting even though I’m just sitting here. So, please be a little kind and patient with me while I try to get everything done in time for the holidays, take care of my family, and sleep even just a tiny bit.

    *I hope the above doesn’t come off as complainy or holier-than-thou cause it’s not meant to. I just want to let you all know why it takes a while for you to get your photos after the session is completed.

    holiday cards– if you are interested in having a custom bsquared holiday card created for you, please let me know as soon as possible. The cut off date for holiday card orders is Monday 12/3. I’m happy to make you a proof for your approval and we’ll make your holiday card a huge hit! Just shoot me an email and we can get started on your card right away.

    gallery orders– if you haven’t yet placed your order from your 2012 session, please do so prior to Monday 12/10. bsquared will be closed (not taking any orders or delivering any orders) from Monday 12/17 thru Friday 1/4/13. I still have some sessions scheduled that week and the week of Christmas, so those of course will be going ahead as planned. But no bsquared orders will be accepted after Monday 12/10, and no orders delivered after Monday 12/17 until the new year.

    bob our elf on the shelf. not sure if bob will be making his usual appearance on the blog this year I’m sorry to report. I’m so behind and I just don’t think I have the time to play this year. So sorry to all the bob fans out there- he’ll make a triumphant return for 2013!

    beyrer family holiday cards– because our totally amazing shoot was ruined by that Sandy chick, I’ll be lucky if I get out New Years cards this year. So if you’re expecting something fabulous you may want to adjust your expectations accordingly.

    Well, that was a totally depressing post. Sorry. I’ll leave you with a picture from summer days on the beach (which I hope is still there in Pt. Lookout).  Yeah, still depressing.

    the joha family

    You might remember this little cute man from two previous posts- his Aunt Kristen & Uncle Raul’s wedding, and from the blog header as just a little guy. We hit the beach (after rescheduling due to rain) on a very cloudy, overcast evening and got our session in just in time before the rain hit. Phew.

    Love this whole series.My favorite from the whole session is the one on the right. He’s like yeah, see ya. Surf’s up.

    the mori family

    It’s always fun (and full of pressure) to photograph my good friends and their kids. We lucked out and had gorgeous light at the beach with a thin filter of clouds over the sun. Other than the wind, it was perfection!
