Betsy's Photography bio picture
  • Welcome!

    I’m a photographic artist located in Michigan, and I love creating portrait and wedding memories for my clients! Have a look around and leave a comment or two... I can't wait to help you plan your next portrait experience!

Cinnamon + Ginger (5mos)

Ginger and Cinnamon have grown a lot in the past three months!! In these informal portraits, the girls have their “big girl” collars on. Ginger is sporting a lovely lime green, and Cinnamon lucked out with sunny yellow. I especially like the one where Ginger is winking at the camera… and the one (two) after that, where Cinnamon is meowing. Ginger is definitely the playful ready-to-go kitten, and Cinnamon is the talkative food-lover. Fortunately, both of them have been great around clients of all ages! They love babies too (good thing, since we’ll be adding one of those to the household in a few months, huh?).

Baby’s Second Portrait (in utero)

Well, an ultrasound kind of counts as a portrait, I guess… don’t you think? Yesterday at my OB appointment, we attempted to hear our baby’s heartbeat. Well, that plan didn’t really come to fruition — baby was in an uncooperative mood. So, we got to look on the ultrasound machine instead. I have to admit, it’s really something special to see such a little heart beating (even though there was no sound). I joked to Steven that our baby just wanted another chance to be photographed!

It’s definitely exciting when you get to see the growth and progress since the last ultrasound (especially since I’m a visual person)…. can’t wait to see the next ultrasound and compare it to this one:).

Michael :: Studio Portrait

Michael came to the studio the other day because he was in need of an updated professional portrait. He is currently in the process of getting into medical school! Anyways, here is the image we created for Michael:

Best of luck with the rest of your studies, I’m sure it will be very exciting when you are able culminate your schooling and become a practicing doctor!

Polina :: Studio Portrait Session

Polina came to the studio about a week before leaving for Cornell University. We were able to create some classic portraits with a contemporary twist. I love the clean look of white on white…

Also wanted to share one of her favorite quotes with you:

“Life is too important to be taken seriously” – Oscar Wilde

Enjoy these images, and remember to take a moment now and then to let life lead you where it will. Expect the unexpected!

Polina, best of luck as you enter your first year at Cornell!

Baby G :: Newborn Portrait

Baby G finally arrived… and we finally got her into the studio for her newborn portraits. Since she was a couple weeks old already, Baby G was pretty active! We did manage to lure her halfway to sleeping… and ended up with some wonderful portraits of her awake and asleep. I absolutely *love* this portrait of her in the basket… what a cute smile on baby!

Also adorable is the family portrait with mom and dad… I really like incorporating family members because adding a new member to the family is super exciting! Plus, once those tiny babies become not-so-tiny, having these portraits helps remind you of how small and precious newborns are.

Congrats to the whole family… and I am so glad you got your bathroom renovation project complete before Baby G arrived!!
