Youth with a Purpose

February 5th, 2010

I believe it’s important to give back to those in our community; to share the talents I have been given. I really do believe that everyone deserves to have their memories captured, and that senior portraits are a big part of creating a legacy. Senior portraits aren’t just a sign that you’re done with [...]

April 9th, 2009

You might remember we joined Twitter a while back. Well, I’ve been having a blast following lots of content that is relevant to my life. And, the more I looked, the more twitter users I started to find in the Ann Arbor area. So, if you’re not on Twitter, maybe now is [...]

Going Green…

January 30th, 2009

Let’s face it. Photography and printed photographs are never going to be completely environmentally friendly. We care for the environment and want to share some ways in which we are doing our part to reuse, reduce, and recycle. Some of the ways that Betsy’s Photography is “going green” include going digital, using [...]

Michigan Airshow + WWII Reenactment

August 11th, 2008

This weekend I went and stopped by the Airshow (Yankee Air Museum’s Thunder Over Michigan). We didn’t stay as long as initially planned (the rainclouds started looking awfully foreboding), but still had a great time. One of the events we spent the most time at was the WWII ground battle reenactment.

And, since I [...]

Senior Projects

May 28th, 2008

Every year, Greenhills High School offers a neat opportunity for the current senior class — Senior Projects! The last three weeks of the semester, students can choose to work on a Senior Project of their choosing — instead of going to classes. Of course, the projects require a proposal and a faculty sponsor, [...]

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS)

March 5th, 2008

I volunteer for a non-profit organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS), and I think their mission is too compassionate not to share with you! I also wanted to share this video clip from this morning’s Today Show (NBC). Reporter Kerry Sanders profiled a NILMDTS photographer and family from [...]

Going Once… Going Twice…

February 9th, 2008

Sometimes we get to attend events that we’re not photographing! Tonight was one of those nights; we attended a benefit auction for the Educational Foundation of Dexter (It’s a non-profit that provides financial support for the Dexter Schools — often in the form of grants).
In addition to the live and silent auction items, there [...]

One of the great things about getting involved in your community is the people and local businesses you get to know. Since moving to Dexter, we haven’t had nearly enough time to get to know everyone, but we have met a lot of new faces! While we’re still relatively new to the community, [...]

Betsy’s Photography – Detroit’s Best Photographer…

July 15th, 2007

UPDATE: Detroit’s 4 the Best have been chosen, and while we didn’t quite make it, we were close — it was great to have your support. The majority of winners in the various categories were closer in physical location to Detroit than Ann Arbor (or even Dexter). Many, many people voted; and to [...]
