Haley - Senior 2011

Haley is another fabulous senior! It was a great day to be outside shooting and we had a great time. LOVE her bright blue eyes!

Sisters

These girls brought the party when they arrived at the studio! Big sister was such a character and couldn't get enough time in the spotlight. She was sweet enough to finally let baby sister have her turn :)

10x30 composite - we call this the personality panel :)

We are family!

I recently had the priviledge of meeting this wonderful family. It was a certain someone's birthday and she needed a large portrait to hang in her home of the people she loves the most  :) I just love the connection you can see in their family and hope this portrait brings her lots of joy over the years.

Carri - senior 2011

We had such a fabulous time during Carri's session! She is a beautiful girl and wonderful model!

Good luck with your senior year Carri!!

We have a winner!

Congratulations to Cassie Cox!

Cassie is the winner of this month's blog contest!

Let's play a game!

I have been wanting to do giveaways on the blog for forever and I am finally able to get to it! Here's how it will work. I will ask a question, and the first person to comment on the blog post with the correct answer, wins the prize! Pretty easy huh? (anyone reading this as a note on Facebook will need to visit the blog for a chance to win. Facebook comments will not be counted)

In your comment, correctly answer the question asked and include your e-mail address so you can be contacted.

Our first prize is a $25 gift certificate! Use it on anything you'd like - a print from a previous session, toward a new session or any product we carry. The winner will be notified by e-mail within 48 hours and will have 14 days to pick up their prize.

What to do on a Wednesday...

Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to visit the Almatis plant in Bauxite and help them with photos for the company's 100 year celebration. This is certainly not something I get to do every day!

First, I was loosly fitted with a fall harness (they apparently aren't made for people of my size) so I could climb into this lift. I wish I had a photo of me in the gear but that would require having someone else to push the button... :( 

We were lifted almost 23 feet above the ground so I could take this photo

 Each Almatis plant made a letter that all together spelled the company name. This plant made an A and S.

I really enjoyed this assignment! It's not often at all an opportunity like this comes along (for portrait photographers anyways)!

Miss Ava Faye - 4 months

This Little Miss is getting close to coming back for her 7 month session! Sorry I am just getting a 4 month photo posted!

Pricing Menu Change

After 5+ years in business, we have to make a change in session and print prices. This is a necessary increase that has only happened once before in the history of this business. It will take effect on Wednesday, September 1. Any sessions booked before this time will receive the current (2009-10) prices!

You should know this change is only because you deserve the best quality and the best service, and honestly...we want to keep giving you more of it!

Thank you for helping Beth Martin Photography grow so much over the past few years and thanks again for your understanding on this price increase.

Baby Cash

Cash is such a precious baby boy and I fell in love with him pretty much immediately! His mom was so generous to loan him to me for this session! I have several new baby props that were begging to be tried out so he was my guinea pig :) Here are a few favorites (only one shows a new prop though)!

hammock

I also have three cacoons that are just as precious!

Calley - 7 months

It seems like baby Calley is growing up faster than she should! It's hard to believe we have already done her 7 month session. She is such a precious little girl!

Party!

What a fun group of kiddos! These four had a blast at their portrait party and I enjoyed their visit to the studio.

Sydney - 7 months

Sydney's 7 month session was great! She is such a happy girl and who could resist that smile?!

Rhys - 12 months

Rhys is one now! I can't believe (can I ever?) how fast his first year went! Babies grow up so fast and I'm so glad Rhys was in the baby plan so each milestone was photographed for his family to remember.
