Betsy Barron (Philadelphia, PA, United States) on 27 December 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This is a shot of my daughter, age 2, on Christmas morning. What you can't see just out of the frame to the right is a large mirror she is gazing into while applying gobs of purple lip gloss to her lips (and cheeks, and eyes, and hair...)

This $5 item picked up last minute at the Rite-Aid was her favorite gift. Thankfully, she used it all up in just one application :)
It also came with hair clips (shown) a blush brush, 2 eyeshadows, nailpolish and some glitter. Mommy put that away in a 'special' place... a.k.a.. she won't apply glitter to her body while her Father and I are alive!!


I had to temporarily suspend the series of NYC shots and post this as a special request from her Pop Pop! More NYC the rest of this week!

All the world’s a stage. Self-taught, still photographer Betsy Barron is a 80s child recalling the simple, natural pleasures of being outside and watching the light on her world. She’s a decades-long Philadelphia artist who combines her eye for form and function with the calm aesthetic of a passer by. Guided by light and lines with impact, her work speaks to the worth of daily pleasures and absorbing your field of view.

Betsy’s photography is part of many private and corporate collections in Philadelphia and New York. In 2014, she was selected to lead a fine art photography initiative with a worldwide luxury retailer.
She lives and works in suburban Philadelphia. See more at MY WEBSITE
