Guest Juror at Greenhills School Art Show

Betsy Finn — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:22:10 +0000

This week I visited Greenhills School as a guest juror for their 2013 art show. It is always nice to return to your roots and evaluate art that has been created for nothing more than creativity’s sake. The art show reception took place on Tuesday evening; I stopped by as the final art pieces were [...]

I am excited to share with you that some of my fine art photography is on display (and available for sale) at the downtown Ann Arbor Sweetwaters Cafe. While I had been over there to help install the exhibit, tonight was my first return trip since then. We ventured to Ann Arbor’s downtown for a [...]

The Ann Arbor Mu Phi chapter had a wonderful concert tonight! It celebrated 100 Years of the Ann Arbor Alumni Chapter. Many Alumni and friends of Mu Phi participated, and I thought it was lovely. Here are a few highlights from the event. Several of my mother’s poems were set to music; it was really [...]

Now that the design is finished, I wanted to share this family portrait album with you! Typically I will also design a full color cover for portrait albums, which looks really gorgeous on display. This slideshow only highlights the album pages, so here is a peek at the cover design. Keep in mind, the left [...]

Welcoming a New Baby :: Family Portraits

Betsy Finn — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:27:42 +0000

It is always wonderful when I can be a part of welcoming a new family member. Sometimes my clients bring in tiny newborns, and sometimes life is so crazy that I get to meet the babies when they are a couple months old. Either way, I love creating these family portraits because the portraits are [...]

Getting Bigger!

Betsy Finn — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:39:03 +0000

While we have been keeping up to date with my own toddler’s portraits, I haven’t had time to share them with you before now. So, here we are — this series was from a few weeks ago; it’s interesting to see how quickly they change. One of his new favorite toys (thanks in part to [...]

This upcoming Tuesday evening I will be giving another program at the Dexter Library. I will be showing images from a trip to England that I took a number of years ago. I will share images of sites like the White Tower in London and Stonehenge, as well as images of my home base for [...]

Our Fall Family Portraits

Betsy Finn — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:10:00 +0000

Well, I am sad to say these images were caught in the blog-void since this past fall. Fortunately, the images were of my own family, so I don’t feel as bad. This way, though, I can wish you a happy new year and send some good vibes your way for 2013! I enjoy planning our [...]

Family Portrait in the Studio

Ian, Kate, and Greta came to the studio to do some simple and sweet family portraits. Here are a few of the favorites from the session, plus an outtake that I couldn’t resist including. Greta was a blast in the studio, even though she was pretty much constantly on the move. Fortunately, I’m used to [...]

Angel’s Winter Family Portrait Outdoors!

Betsy Finn — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 04:17:59 +0000

It’s hard to believe how quickly the little ones become big kids! This January, Angel invited me back to her home for another family portrait session — this time with to include their new family members (another gorgeous little gal and some adorable doggies too). Since we did their last family portrait (when big sis [...]

Kid Portraits :: Brother and Sister

Betsy Finn — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 13:00:01 +0000

I love working with kids. Whether they are willing to sit still and smile for the camera or I have to catch take smile on the fly, it is always fun to see different personalities emerge throughout the portrait session. It is especially fun to work with siblings! I love these portraits, particularly the one [...]

Four Generation Family Portrait

Betsy Finn — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 03:08:38 +0000

Over the holidays, and we managed to plan an impromptu family portrait. I was thrilled, as I always emphasize the importance of images like this to my clients, but haven’t been able to coordinate one for my own family since before our little one joined the family. I am so glad we were able to [...]
