have not fallen
off the face of the earth. Yet.
I know I haven’t blogged in a few days (sorry, blog stalkers) but really trying to finish editing sections of the wedding before posting anything else. Should have a nice new blog post for you tomorrow.
And just one for today… John took it while we were visiting University of Miami. Go ‘canes! (and yes, it looks like a country club, not a college campus)

trying…
to catch up. It’s not going nearly as well as I had hoped, but I’m getting there a little at a time. Between the whole switch over to the imac, all the paperwork I put off from November & December that has to be done now, adding on the photography lessons, and just life around here with 3 kids, a husband and house to take care of, I’m just back in the thick of it.
Here’s the new confirmation I made for 2010, so if you have booked a shoot with me for this year, this is what you will be receiving via email (filled out of course) once you are booked.
And on that note…if you have booked a shoot with me for 2010 and you haven’t received one of these via email as of this morning, please email me at bbeyrer1@optonline.net right away.
And because a post is just no good without a picture, here you go. Something to warm you up on yet another cold day in NY.

10 for Tuesday
Not much to report today, but I know my blog stalkers would be dissapointed if there was no new blog post today.
1. A few shots from sunset on the beach in Florida. Wish I was still there. Really, really wish it. Only 35 more days until we leave again.
2. I am trying to still get the new imac set up to my liking although I do have to report that I am LOVING it! This 27″ screen is da bomb and I keep losing things on it cause I forget to look in the corners! It’s gonna be awesome for editing though- can’t wait to get started on that.
3. I’m working on getting all my loose ends from November and December tied up (not to mention the shoots that have not been edited from 2009 yet, and the new 2010 shoots too). If you have booked a shoot for 2010 with me, you can expect a confirmation shortly (hopefully today).
4. I fell asleep in the black hole that is Timmy’s bed last night at around 8:45pm. While very restful, it means that I didn’t get anything done last night from my lengthy list. Hopefully that will happen today.
5. I still really hate supermarket (aka stupidmarket) shopping. A lot.
6. Got a ton of forms in to fill out for Timmy for Kindergarten registration for next year. It makes my heart hurt just a little to think he’s going to be big enough for Kindergarten in a few months. Gotta really enjoy this summer.
7. On above said forms, one of the questions was something like “what language does the child understand?”. Now, if I was filling out those forms for the big boys, I think the answer would be “not sure”. I swear to god they do not listen in english cause I know I’m speaking in english, but they don’t seem to be able to comprehend one single word I’m saying.
8. I was informed my bathroom is ‘ghetto’. Ok, so my pedestal sink is broken (cracked on one side from where the medicine cabinet fell off the wall and crashed down onto the sink) and we haven’t gotten it replaced yet. It’s all taped up on that side with white duck tape. And it was like a year ago that this happened. Eh, I’ll get to it when I get to it. So, it’s ghetto. Whatever.
9. We are also in the market for either new couches for the den or to get the current couches reapoulstered. Does anyone know of a good & reasonable place for an estimate in the area? Or any good furniture stores that you like? Need big mushy, comfy couches in there that will take a big beating daily.
10. There was a bigger response to the photography lessons than I had thought there would be. Working on getting back to everyone who is interested, so if you emailed or facebooked me, expect a reply shortly.
Hope you all have a great day!

7 for Sunday
Haven’t done one of these in a while and figured it was time.
1. Our 2 week vacation in Florida was fantastic. The weather was fantastic the first week and we spent everyday at the pool or the beach. The second week, not so much. It was cold!!
2. I like being tan and feel pretty relaxed. Hope both will last but I’m not hopeful on the relaxed part.
3. I am also blonde again. That’s much better.
4. I had my first shoot of 2010 on the beach on Sanibel Island in Florida with a friend from high school and his family. It was definitely a great start to the year!
5. Being a snowbird sounds better and better.
6. Only 37 more days until our next trip to Florida. Disney this time.
7. are you noticing a trend here?
Lots of pictures from Fla to follow soonish. I am currently without a computer (again. typing from the boys laptop). Making the plunge to the imac with the 27″ screen and everything gets picked up later today. Exciting!!

beth’s 40th {the photobooth shots}
So…waaaaaay back in September, I hit the big 4-0. (Still can’t believe that). I decided to throw myself a giant birthday party, just cause. So I did. With tons of family and friends at Sun & Surf Beach Club. And because I’m a big brat picture girl, I had to have a photobooth. A real, old school one. So I did. Along with my parents who made that my present- thank you!!!
I haven’t even started editing the ‘regular’ pictures from the party, even though it’s been almost 4 months. (alright, I’ve been a little busy with holiday season starting before the party and not ending til now). I did finally get around to editing these though cause there wasn’t much to do with them other than to get them saved for the blog.
Here are some of the shots from the night and a who’s who of whos with who.
My boys thoroughly enjoyed the photobooth. A lot. Which is suprising and kinda annoying cause they are really done with me and my camera. But this, they did over and over. And over. All night!
Love that teeny little head!!
When they were done hogging it up, they brought others in with them. Like me.
And Uncle Nelson and Grandma & Grandpa
Stephanie (who was on Timmy-duty for the evening and took all the boys home when they were done)
Some of the Beyrer contingent.
Chris & Laura (who made the unfortunate mistake of telling Billy to “bring it on” for his antics at her wedding. She didn’t realize quite how unfortunate this mistake would be until the mooning and cartwheels in a kilt began in the middle of her reception, plus the 3 rounds of ‘up your pipe’ sang by all the Beyrers in attendance at the wedding. Poor girl.)
Inez & Gail (my sisters in law) and Inez & Joe Beyrer. Clowns.
Jen & Mike (Jen did all the flowers for my party! She’s working on starting her own floral business) and Billy & Aunt Maureen.
My inlaws. And my father in law. I caught him going in there a few times on his own. He’s such a good model for me cause he REALLY likes getting his picture taken!
Joe & Aunt Miss Gail on a big night out without baby James. And my friend Gina & me. Gina is a great friend and a fabulous massuesse. She keeps asking me how the rock collection in my back is doing. The tenser I get the closer my shoulders sit to my ears! She’s helped me out a few times over the last few months, making me make time for a massage. Thanks G!
My parents. Who I love and who I love extra cause they are letting us stay with them in sunny, warm, snowfree Florida for 2 whole weeks!!!
Pete & Chrissy. John & Rosanna. I think beach whenever I see them, cause that’s where I see them most! Funny, I have a picture of John with his finger up his nose from his daughter’s First Communion in 2009. I’m sensing a trend…
Eileen & Jerry. Mary Ellen & Kenny. Jerry is the videographer who films all the fabulous bsquared ‘video your shoot’ spots that you’ve seen on the blog. And our friends Mare and Kenny who we never fail to have a great time with- even faced with snowball fights inside the car and on ridiculous commutes to NJ Meadowlands to see U2!
Ray & Maureen. Jen & Kenny. Playgroup friends since the big boys and their kids were together in Gymboree in 1999!
George (aka Mr. Incredible) & Tricia. He sells insurance and everything! And they are the parents of John’s oldest and first goddaughter. Bruce & Kathy. They were recently featured here on the blog with their children and grandchildren. They are always fun!
Jane & Tom. They liked it so much, they went in twice!
Jimmy & Ro. Brian & Maryann. Jimmy and John have been friends for a loooong time (fire dept, bartenting) and Brian is one of John’s partners at work.
Sharon & David. My youngest son’s future inlaws. Can’t wait til that wedding. Do you know how many pictures we’ll have documenting their whole lives together!? Even embarrassing ones of the parents!
Robbie & me. Joe & Robin. Robin’s my BFF from Miami (hence the U hands). For those of you following along, their baby was born at 26 weeks and is doing SO fantastic and is now a total chubster at 8 months. We have plans to get together in January so there will be some new pix of Eoin soon. Oh, and we got some ‘canes over here…whoot whoot.
Lynn & Rolf. Garrett & Susan. I love, love, love it when clients turn into friends. Or sorta co-workers in Garrett’s case.
Mr. Mark & Caron. They own Rockville Camera and are just awesome people. And they gave me my new-old Mac. They rock!
Marianne & Vinny. Too cute for words.
Mary Ellen & Eileen. Ivy & me. We’ve been friends since we’re 9 years old. Thats a crazy, crazy long time!
Are you pictured out yet? No? There’s more…
Jane & me. Kevin & Diana.
Beth & Marianne. Mary Ellen, Sharon & Me. With a special guest appearance by Eileen. In both sets.
Rosanna & Chrissy. Sharon & me. Rawr.
Dawn & Sue. Sue & Angela. Dawn & Sue were my BFF’s in high school. So, so glad we’ve reconnected. Yes, on FB.
Timmy-boo. John & me. I told him to make the crazy eyes, but he didn’t so now I look like the insane one. Great.
Sue, Dawn & Jen. Dawn & Jen. Apparently, no one could get Dawn out of the photobooth.
Dawn & Angela. Sisters. See what I mean about not getting Dawn out of the booth!?
Brian, Pat (of The Turn fame) & me. The band played my party and were awesome as always. Dawn, Sue & me. Together again. Feels like yesterday we were being goofy at one of our Sweet 16s. Now it’s goofy for 40ths!!
Beth, Zoraida & me. Beth & Marianne. Don’t get too close to Marianne when she’s excited about something. She’ll hit you. Hard. Or maybe give you a map. Or two different shoes. And Beth who second shoots all my weddings with me and is a fanastic friend all the time.
That’s it for the photobooth pictures. I’ll get the rest of the pictures from the party up. Eventually. And the thank you notes I still owe everyone? How about February? That’s only 5 months late. Oops.
So sad vacation is over- two weeks seemed like a long time but it’s not long enough. Flying home today. Well, that’s the plan unless of course we go down in a firey plane crash further fueled by psycho terrorists trying to explode their underwear on the plane. It could happen…
