A- No, just you and I. Unless, you absolutely want someone in the room with you, we try to keep it to this minimum unless the other person or people is/are being photographed! We work in a very small space and quarters can get a little cramped with more people in the room! Please chat with us before bringing a guest unless this person has booked to be photographed and we are aware!

 Please refrain from bringing your children. This is an experience for YOU! Thank you for understanding!  

Q- Alcohol. May we bring wine, or other alcoholic beverages to our shoot?
A- As much as I love a delicious glass of wine, or an occasional drink, we must say no! We are definitely concerned about your safety after you leave us & don't want the possibility of your face red from alcohol during your shoot!

Q- Session Retainer Fee.
A- Session Retainer Fees are in place for a reason. We charge a session retainer fee to hold your spot on our calendar. Do understand that if you didn't pay a session retainer fee, and you didn't show up, we have lost an appointment that could have been given to someone else. Time is precious, we can't get it back!

Q- Trashy Who? How did Trashy Betty get its name? 
A-This is a question I'm asked often, and chances are if you've shot with me and don't know me personally- you've heard about it. But, for those of you who haven't.... 
Contrary to popular belief, T Betty didn't get it's name from photographing scantily clad women or pin-ups. Several years ago, I made jewelry out of recycled products aka trash. I al
so made hair accessories, ornaments, and various other crafts, lots of times using these recycled materials. I often photographed them on my friends after attempting (and I say attempting b/c I've not always been as seasoned as I am now) their hair & makeup in retro & vintage styles!
When I was a little girl, my granny carried her cameras everywhere, and took a photo of everyone - especially the babies! I always loved having film & cameras as a child, and especially loved when my mother agreed to buy me a roll of black and white film!
