AnnArbor.com just did a feature on us; well, regarding our appearance on Renovation Realities, at least.
Here’s the trailer for the show — remember to tune in at 9pm on December 5th (DIY Network):
When you’re done watching the trailer, make sure to check out the work-in-progress slideshow that AnnArbor.com put together with my photographs. [...]
Last night I helped with the Detroit Professional Photographers Association print competition. It’s always interesting to see these things from behind the scenes… and it’s fun to be a part of making sure things run smoothly! Anyways, my prints all received ribbons again; I’ll have some decisions to make for Regional print competition as far [...]
As some of you know, I volunteer for an organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS). This weekend, NILMDTS held their first-ever Area Coordinator Training at headquarters in Littleton, Colorado. There are NILMDTS volunteers here from as far as New Zealand and the UK. I’m looking forward implementing some new ideas locally. [...]
Today I spent the day in Flint, MI… doing a full day speaking program for other photographers. The program was part of a nationwide educational event put on by Professional Photographers of America (they call it “Super Monday”). Though it was a long day, it was definitely packed full of learning. It’s so great to [...]
This past week I got to travel to Tennessee for a whirlwind tour of the state. My stops included Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. In each of the cities I was the keynote speaker for local Tennessee Professional Photographer affiliate groups. I had a great time, and enjoyed teaching and sharing my knowledge with other [...]
The flooring is in at the studio! it’s very exciting, since this is one of the last “big” things to be done for the studio renovation. Remember, we are still taking appointments and have a functional studio space, despite the renovation.
If you haven’t been following along with our blog updates about the renovation, [...]
I wanted to share this series of landscape images with you. The photographs were created in Oahu, Hawaii. Earlier this year, the composition won 1st place at the Detroit Professional Photographers’ Association (DPPA) Folio Competition, in the Illustrative category.
About DPPA: Photographers meet on a monthly basis to network with fellow photographers to learn from each [...]
As promised, here is the next update on the studio renovation. Remember, we are operational, despite the renovation! All the walls have been painted. We went with a subdued tan/brown tone called “ancient stone” for the consultation room and the office. Here’s the updated view as you enter the consultation room:
And a view of the [...]
The studio renovation is going well! Make sure to check out my past updates (framing + insulation). This update will start to show the finished space a little better (drywall + mud/tape).
And just in case you’re wondering — yes, we still have a functioning studio space in the meantime. Sessions, consultations, and the [...]
As promised, here is the next installment featuring images from our studio renovation. If you missed our last renovation update, feel free to catch up before continuing on! Remember, sessions, consultations, and the like are all being scheduled as usual.
This update shows the studio space, prepped with insulation (both in the walls and the ceiling). The [...]
Things have been busy at the studio this summer! In addition to photographing all our amazing clients as normal, we’ve also been working on a “side project” — renovating the studio. The renovation involves about 880 square feet, and includes the consultation room, the sitting room (where sessions are held), and the office [...]
Today I saw a news blurb about the Ann Arbor News — it appears as though management has made a decision to discontinue the publication in July of 2009. This will be a tough transition for many. I’ve always grown up with the Ann Arbor News — and remember my mother reading it daily.
Here’s an [...]
Well, I don’t know about you, but Steven and I had a great New Year’s Eve + New Year’s Day! As you know, we were without power from Saturday through Wednesday. Thankfully, the maintenance crews got power back to us before the end of 2008 (to be precise, approximately 9:30pm on Dec. 31st). So, [...]
Well, it’s happened. We’ve finally created a twitter account for Betsy’s Photography. If you want to follow Betsy’s Photography on Twitter… you’re more than welcome to do so.
Now, onto the explanation that you knew was coming. What’s Twitter? Twitter is a real-time messaging utility… kind of like instant messaging but also [...]
I woke up this morning to see a gentle blanket of snow over the leaves and grass on our yard… Gotta love lake effect snow. Found this pretty cool site though: Michigan Snow Cams. There isn’t a webcam south of Lansing or Flint, but aside from that, it’s neat to see how much it’s snowing [...]
