Becky Earl – be ART bio picture
  • this is us.

    Welcome to what I like to call my second home. It's where I like to be when my kids give me a few seconds to share what I love most- them.

    I started my photography journey a little over two years ago just wanting to take better pictures of my kids. I fell in love and quickly jumped into my own business. I took pictures of a lot of other peoples kids, but was often too tired to capture the memories of my own. I have come full circle and am back to shooting the ones I love.

    Right now my main focus is perfecting my art. While I have decided not to be in business at this time, I would love for this to be a place of inspiration and beauty. Somewhere I can share myself in my work. As photographer Nan Goldin once said, "This is a diary I let people read." I have many different projects in mind and can't wait to see them come to life.

    I am an artist who loves to share the beauty of a smile, a connection and a laugh. I have a story to tell and a journey I would love to share with you.

    Let's have some fun!

    xoxox -  be

in a black and white kinda mood – be ART

The sun was peeking out today, so I got the girls dressed and we ran outside for a couple shots. It was a lot colder than it looked from my kitchen window so they only gave me a few shots before lips started turning purple and the shivers over came them. Here is what they gave me and I gladly took them.

And my little guy sound asleep upstairs.

Chisses!

heaven -be ART

whenever I think of what it must look like there, they are all I see.

Wait! It’s still too cold to go outside for some fun???

My thoughts EXACTLY Jess!

Chisses!

Amanda - March 4, 2010 - 10:12 pm

Do you think your kids would talk to mine and give them some pointers? I pull out my camera and they scatter.

These are gorgeous!!!

Wende Trew - March 4, 2010 - 10:17 pm

Can’t get enough of your little darlings!! So precious, Becky!

Jessica - March 9, 2010 - 4:20 pm

These are just beautiful! I love your work :)

I have a question… I was wondering what you do to protect your images on your blog? I have a photo blog (I am just a beginner) and I wasn’t sure what I should do to protect my photos. I know I can resize them or upload them to flickr, but I was wondering if there was a better (and more safe) way to do this. Thanks!

what it’s all about – be ART

It was like Christmas for me this weekend.

The big brown truck came with a big brown box and my eyes lit up like they did when I was five and saw all my presents under the tree.

This time I had my kids by my side and they were as giddy as I was.

I opened up my pretty brown box. The kids used it for a playhouse house while I teared up while looking at the contents inside…

They stayed put all day until hubbs got home.

I would sit and stare at them periodically throughout the day….(ok, more like all day)

Hubbs got home and he loved them as much as I. He helped me hang them (more like he hung them and I sat and giggled at my beautiful babies)

Such precision. Such concentration.

Do you like the gloves? Well??? There can’t be any fingerprints on my pictures!:)

Oh and Sawyer is just so darn cute.

He made me laugh a lot too.

He called himself the Wolverine of picture hanging.

Then I asked him to pose and well…he took note of the picture above his head and well…

I laughed. Hard!

Don’t mind the messiness. Seriously. Just enjoy the pictures.:)

And this is what I have to look at every morning when I walk in my living room. *total swoon*

Some people think it’s tacky to have walls covered by pictures of your family. If that’s the truth then I am the Queen Bee of Tacky Land and I never wanna leave.

This is what it’s all about, right? This is why we take pictures. To capture personalities. To remember special moments. To hang them proudly and be surrounded continually with their love.

*HELPFUL HINT FOR THE DAY* GO BIG OR GO HOME!
No more printing teeney 8×10’s that nobody can see on your wall unless they have a magnifying glass. Display your images huge. It makes such a difference. It is totally worth it.

These are 16×24’s mounted on styrene, hung by THESE.:)

If you are new and missed the post with these images up close and personal click HERE

That is all.

Chisses! (how Sadie says “kisses”)

Pam Douglas - March 1, 2010 - 11:43 am

Becky…these are absolutely fantastic. I loved them when you first posted them but gosh the prints are gorgeous. they look perfect on your wall!

Kelsey - March 1, 2010 - 11:44 am

These are awesome!! Really inspires me to start decorating my walls! Thank you!

Andrea Lopez - March 1, 2010 - 11:48 am

i LOVE it…all of them! It looks perfect! I often say, I can’t have another child until we buy a bigger house seeing as I have no wall space to share with a new baby!

I’d love the details on the prints…WHCC? Mattboard? Texture?

traci - March 1, 2010 - 11:51 am

ok, becky, your post made ME totally giddy! :) i could just imagine that feeling when the box arrived. we just moved into a new house and i want huge images of the kids like that. i just need to take some i love enough to hang that large … i have lots of other people’s kiddos. lol! are those prints on what they call standouts? and your darling husband was able to hang them with those temporary adhesive strips? looks awesome! i’d never want to leave!! :)

Tiffany - March 1, 2010 - 11:55 am

OMG!! I am laughing so hard! That totally looks like my husband hanging my pictures!!! It’s so fun to watch!!! They look amazing too! No way in heck is it tacky! My walls are covered too!!!! Your home is so beautiful Becky!! So beautiful !!!!!

rychelle - March 1, 2010 - 12:27 pm

they look amazing!

Zlatina - March 1, 2010 - 12:30 pm

Ok, I couldn’t help it but post a comment this time (because I almost posted several times already :) This is one of my favorite of your posts. I think that the large prints is what it’s all about – I am all about hanging pictures all over – sometimes I feel the same way – “am I doing it too much” but hey – you can’t deny that those pictures on the wall have a much greater impact than on the computer screen. Anyway – Love it – Love it – It made my day!

Sarah Mansur - March 1, 2010 - 12:52 pm

Oh WOW!! They look amazing! Ok….YOU totally inspired me for my own home (which we are in the process of finding…getting ready to move!) Love LOVE LOVE these! You have such beautiful kids. I cant wait to be “TACKY” and cover my walls as well!

heavenesque - March 1, 2010 - 12:59 pm

Oh my goodness Becky!!! They look awesome!! I love it:)

Kate - March 1, 2010 - 1:01 pm

I think these are adorible, spectacular and amazing! I would love to walk in my living room and see them everymorning ….of my own lil ones of course.

RhondaD - March 1, 2010 - 1:04 pm

I LOVE these. I totally agree about the large photos. 8×10’s on the wall is so blah. I use those Command strips too. I have 5 16×20 frames with glass on a long wall and they’ve never moved. Those strips ROCK! Great work on the images and kudos to the hubs for helping make your day.

Kara Layfield - March 1, 2010 - 1:09 pm

These are lovely Becky!! They are perfect in every way!

Mrs Soup - March 1, 2010 - 1:11 pm

Oh man, that is SO AWESOME! Looks incredible!!

Liz - March 1, 2010 - 1:13 pm

Awww, Becky! How sweet! I really enjoyed reading this and seeing your photos on your wall!! Fun!

Melissa Davis - March 1, 2010 - 1:18 pm

OH. My. GOSH!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Tori Piercy - March 1, 2010 - 1:41 pm

Wow Becky! That turned out fabulous! I literally LOL’d at the Wolverine pic of your DH. Ya’ll look like so much fun! Beautiful pictures- I can totally see why you were so giddy :)

Jessica Feely - March 1, 2010 - 1:46 pm

WOW!!!! Soooo gorgeous!!! I LOVE these! They actually look thicker than styrene in the pics. What made you decide on styrene vs gator foam? Anyway, thanks for the inspiration, I cannot wait to show my husband these so he can realize how COOL it looks! LOVE! :) Have a great week girl!

Scarlett - March 1, 2010 - 2:16 pm

oh my goodness, perfection!!! these are gorgeous Becky… I may have just caught a bad case of baby fever!!!

ErinH - March 1, 2010 - 2:29 pm

LOVE these Becky! I’m feeling inspired. Gonna go run and take some wall-worthy pics of my little girl.

Chelsea - March 1, 2010 - 2:32 pm

Gorgeous! Simply gorgeous! I love that you have a gallery of your family in your home! and your hubby’s pose made me laugh out loud. SO great!

Mara - March 1, 2010 - 2:39 pm

Ah – love these! I agree – I love big images too! And what can be better than BIG images of the ones you love! It would be awesome if you could share more details of the prints – where are they from and what type of surface – thanks so much!

Kristin - March 1, 2010 - 3:37 pm

Stunning Becky!! The photos are amazing and as a group, holy smokes, I love them!

Kellie - March 1, 2010 - 3:42 pm

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! SO Stinkin Cute!

Errin - March 1, 2010 - 3:44 pm

Did you take advantage of color incs huge sale they were having, cause I did too! I LOVE these, and I love your new house, its SO cute! I cant get over your hubby, so funny!

Maggie - March 1, 2010 - 3:45 pm

Beautiful!!!

Deirdre - March 1, 2010 - 3:47 pm

Awesome, Becky! You inspired me to get more prints of my babies!

Wende Trew - March 1, 2010 - 3:52 pm

Oh my!! Becky those are just Gorgeous!!! I just love your work!!

traci - March 1, 2010 - 4:14 pm

lol! i was so excited the first time i looked i missed the details with answers to the questions i asked in my comments. duh! glad i came back to show hubby! :)

Cindy - March 1, 2010 - 4:42 pm

I love this post. The pics look amazing on your walls! Thanks so much for encouraging to print big! You are the best :)

Bernadette - March 1, 2010 - 4:46 pm

very inspiring…so many empty walls in my house…so many wonderful pictures in my computer.

Becca - March 1, 2010 - 4:51 pm

I could die, I just love these so so so much! gorgeous in every way!!

Rebecca - March 1, 2010 - 5:10 pm

I LOVE everything about it!!! What are the dimensions of your wall?

Carrie - March 1, 2010 - 5:25 pm

Can we come and live with you??? Oh how I enjoyed reading this post! Congratulations on the gorgeous family and stunning prints :)

Jennifer Urbin - March 1, 2010 - 6:31 pm

Becky first time commenter, long time reader….ha it sounds like I’m introducing myself on a radio show or something ;) I love your work! I’m a photographer…and sadly I’m currenlty displaying only one picture of my children at this time(insert sniffle here) You’ve inspired me to cover my walls with my babies, I’m not sure what I’ve been waiting for. Your walls look amazing and if you think your house looks messy then you should see mine. I’d make you feel really good about yourself ;) I have a quick question and who knows if you’ll ever even read this since you have a bajillion comments on this post…but how in the heck were you able to hang the pictures straight with the sticky 3m picture thingys? This inquiring mind is dieing to know!

Lesley - March 1, 2010 - 7:31 pm

What a great idea! I wish I had more space in my place to hang pictures of us, but we’re already cramped as it is. But it’s a good excuse to showcase product to my clients! Thanks for sharing!

Heather Magliarditi - March 1, 2010 - 8:08 pm

Im so excited for you, these are just perfection, I love them, just precious pictures

Julie Buckman - March 1, 2010 - 8:37 pm

These rock!

I want some!

but with kids of course. I want to be tacky like you!

Nicole - March 1, 2010 - 8:40 pm

I bow down to you, Queen Bee of Tacky Land. (A place, I too, never want to leave!) LOL.

These are so beautiful – beautiful photos of beautiful children! I love everything about them!

Clarice - March 1, 2010 - 8:44 pm

These are awesome Becky!!! Love it!

becky - March 1, 2010 - 9:12 pm

I cannot believe all of your amazing comments about my wall. I am in awe. I love each and every one of you! :) Thanks!!!

Andrea, these are just normal prints on styrene mounts (pretty much any professional printing lab will print these, WHCC definitely does)

Traci, These are not standouts, but the pictures my hubbs is hanging up on the side wall (in one of the pics) are standouts) these are just flat styrenes.

Rhonda, good to hear. I hope they keep those suckers up. haha

Jess, I have never printed the Gator Foam, so I went with what I knew. haha Don’t you need to frame the gator foam because the edges are raggedy?

Mara, Regular surface for these, but I think you can get them sprayed…never done it before though.

Errin, I ordered these before they had their sale….OF COURSE!!! haha

Traci, Don’t feel dumb…I added them after I first posted :)

Carrie, YES! :)

Jennifer, get those kiddos on your wall pronto!

Kelly Mack - March 1, 2010 - 10:05 pm

This looks fantastic Becky! Nothing tacky about it.

Kristi Flower - March 2, 2010 - 12:12 am

love it, I must be tacky too, my walls are covered with BIG photos of my children!

Jolene - March 2, 2010 - 8:19 am

OMG! Is all I can say! Love them! I am currently a photographer who is JSO and my walls (4) are covered with 8×10 and 5×7 of my kid and me and the hubby so if that’s not tacky well I don’t know what is! But guess what I love my family and everyone that walks in loves it too! But we are moving in the next 4 months and since I have been introduced to what a “real” image can look like my walls will have nothing but 16×20 or larger! Its so hard to choose!! Keep up the beautiful work!!!

Amanda - March 2, 2010 - 9:45 am

This is FANTASTIC!!! I have been wanting to do this forever. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

darcy @ m3b - March 2, 2010 - 10:04 am

Absolutely fantastic.

I *love* them. If that’s true about photos of your family, than I’m the queen of my own Tackyland, too. Cheers!

Jacque S. - March 2, 2010 - 10:22 am

Becky, you are so inspiring! Just like your anniversary post on ILP was so inspiring to me long ago…thanks for recongnizing whats most important in life. I just love how your focus is on your family!

Kimmy - March 2, 2010 - 10:48 am

Becky….These are amazing!! I love these. Girl you really know how to capture a perfect moment!!!

Maggie - March 2, 2010 - 11:06 am

These are absolutely stunning! I loved them the first time you posted them-they made me think of my own three babies and how many times I’ve tried getting that “perfect” shot of all three of them smiling and looking. But, they have other plans and their little personalities are just shining through and I have stop and sit back and just take them in and not get too worked about that “so-called perfect” shot. I love your work-your art!

And thanks for stopping by to see my blog. Even though I did get my “smiling and looking” shot, the outtakes will still probably be my favorites from that shoot.

These are beautiful on your wall too. I am inspired!

Alli E - March 2, 2010 - 11:24 am

Oooooooooooh Becky. You stop it right now. Like I need to be buying anything other than diapers and binkies right now! Crap! My husband is going to cry because I have a whole wall in my office that needs pictures. Btw, as usual, I love you and I love your work. The end.

JoNell - March 2, 2010 - 12:59 pm

LOVE IT!! You’re work is so awesome, too.

Jennifer Sparaco - March 2, 2010 - 1:14 pm

they make me want to hug my own babies becky!! a promise to get more pics of them…BUT…get them printed as well!!!

LOVE each of them!!

Tammy - March 2, 2010 - 2:17 pm

AWESOME!! I love the fact that they aren’t in frames. I just got new pics this weekend too, it’s soooo fun! But now I want to do a wall just like that!! I too am running out of wall space! And I love it!

jaime - March 2, 2010 - 3:53 pm

love love. still working on mine! can you believe it! now this makes me think again! i need to stop! get it, hang it, show it! you go!

donna good - March 2, 2010 - 4:28 pm

love.love.LOVE!!!!

Michelle - March 2, 2010 - 9:19 pm

Love love love it!

Jenna - March 3, 2010 - 10:20 am

Thanks for the inspiration. I take pictures of my kids all the time but, sadly, fall very short in getting them developed and hung on the wall! After I saw this I went right to work editing some of the pictures and ordering them. Thanks!
Your children are gorgeous!!

Stephanie - March 3, 2010 - 12:19 pm

You did great! They look amazing. And I’m sure big thanks to your (good looking) hubba hubba hubby :-) Isn’t nice to have a honey-do list and get it done? ;-) And hello! 56 comments? Crikey. I could only wish!

shannon sewell - March 3, 2010 - 2:02 pm

FABULOUS!!! adorable, beautiful images and i love the layout!!

Mindy - March 3, 2010 - 2:32 pm

What an incredibly amazing display of your gorgeous children! They are so stunning Becky! I love what you have done here!

stephanie - March 3, 2010 - 10:46 pm

LOVE this… really… totally swoon-worthy. Been missing your images on ILP… but glad to see you are investing this time in your precious family!

becky - March 4, 2010 - 11:00 am

Crikey is RIGHT! WOWZERS! Thanks for all the comments ya’ll. So glad you are inspired to get your own families on those walls!

Love ya!

Leah Jent - March 5, 2010 - 10:17 am

Soooo fun! I love the wolverine photo; it cracked me up!

Trude - March 5, 2010 - 2:10 pm

Wow that’s gorgeous!! If you can’t hang photos of your family in your own home, where can you hang them?? That’s the best part of being a photog – great, frameable shots of everyone! :)

Nicole Cave - March 6, 2010 - 10:20 pm

You know I like em big Beck!! In fact my canvas’s are exactly that size. I would say somebody’s got good taste, not tacky at all!!

no rhyme or reason – be ART

just sharing the ones I love…

I love her smile.
I love their hugs.I love her craziness.I love his smooth baby skin.I love my life.

Thanks for looking!

Camille Larsen - February 24, 2010 - 2:26 pm

So endearing! Love them all! :)

Jennifer - February 24, 2010 - 2:30 pm

Becky – your pics are awesome!! you have inspired me! i just ordered a remote to start having fun with my kids (and hubby) during my endless shoots with them. it arrives on friday!! Can’t wait!! love the pics of your kids hugging you and the last one!

Melissa - February 24, 2010 - 2:34 pm

So adorable – all of them! I love the last one so much. A portrait of me with my babies has been on my list of things to do for months. You’ve inspired me again, Becky! xoxo

brooke - February 24, 2010 - 2:42 pm

So gorgeous! I need to try self portraits with the kids, these are so special Becky… thanks for inspiring all of us!

Trude - February 24, 2010 - 3:29 pm

That one of you all piled on the bed is awesome!! Hope its framed on a wall somewhere! :)

Jayme - February 24, 2010 - 3:49 pm

These are so great, I love them all. Thanks for sharing a glimps of your wonderful life.

Amanda - February 24, 2010 - 3:53 pm

Becky, that last one is to DIE for!!! I hope you get that BIG and hang it proudly!!!

Gorgeous!!!

P.S. I have the same bed!!!

Danica Nelson - February 24, 2010 - 4:45 pm

These are beautiful! LOVE them! Thanks for the inspiration (I’m just another quiet blog stalker).

Maggie - February 24, 2010 - 4:58 pm

These are awesome-so real, so beautiful. Love, love the last one. Don’t know if you have time for a question, but how do you set up your remote shots? I have a remote, but haven’t had the greatest luck with getting things in focus. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Jessica Feely - February 24, 2010 - 5:02 pm

I love all of these pictures- but the last one is just canvas worthy :) The bathtub ones are just precious too! What a beautiful family…I really wonder if it gets easier with more kids? I feel like it is such a handful with one little wild 18m old! Thanks for sharing these!

Kelly Mack - February 24, 2010 - 6:08 pm

Thats so beautiful Becky!

Ashlyn - February 24, 2010 - 8:44 pm

I love your work, but I absolutely love the ones of you and your 3 kids. You dont see that much. My studio is here at our house and on a cold day I love to play in the studio with my 1 year old and 3 year old boys and everyone laughs because they can see my remote… how else does a photographer take their pic? I love that you post them! They are wonderful!! I do have a question which wideangle or fish eye are you using? Like the photos on the header of your hubby and kids?

Amanda Keeys - February 25, 2010 - 4:17 am

Oh I love them… what gorgeous, beautiful moments, what things to treasure.

Stephanie - February 25, 2010 - 6:41 am

How sweet. How dear. You kinda make me wanna have a third. Stop it. Stop it right now! ;-)

Holly - February 25, 2010 - 9:18 am

Oh my, his belly is amazing. My bathtub is so ugly. I’m thinking of buying a new one purely for the baby pictures it would profit.

Tiffany - February 25, 2010 - 10:17 am

OMG!!! OMG!!! I feeli like im saying the same thing but its so true Becky…….SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am always in awe of your work! I just got my new flash so I am ready to start playing. Thanks for being such an inspiring person!

Tiffany - February 25, 2010 - 10:17 am

P.S. I have the same bed too!

Tori Piercy - February 25, 2010 - 5:22 pm

Oh Becky I just love them all! You are so blessed to have such a beautiful family and the talent to capture them the way you do. LOVE!

Pam Douglas - February 25, 2010 - 8:01 pm

Nicole - February 25, 2010 - 11:52 pm

love your work! we share the same equipment and our paths are almost identical…i am still struggling with “do i want to work with the public”? again, a treat to see your work!

becky - February 27, 2010 - 11:16 am

thank you so much everyone! I am so glad that so many of you are considering getting in those shots with your fams! That is what it’s all about!

Ashlyn, For the shots in my header (the first ones with my hubby and kids) I was using my Canon Fisheye 15mm 2.8. Totally love that lens.

Maggie, I have the RPS Studio remote and it is soo super easy to use. No certain way of using it…just point it at the trigger hooked up to my camera, press the shutter and hope for the best. haha

guest judge baby! -be ART

Hey friends….just wanted to share my excitement…I am the guest judge over at I HEART FACES this week. *squeal* The challenge is a tad different this time around. Instead of sharing those beautiful faces of yours we wanna see all the creative things you can do with your hands.

I can’t wait to see everybody’s stuff. Head on over and check it out:)

Coming back to add my image of HANDS…

My baby sister and her little girl Jayda who was born 13 weeks premature. She fought her way into this world and is doing so beautifully. This image shows the ultimate love between a mother and her child.

Thanks for looking!

Hi! I’ve been following your blog and tutorials for a couple months and Love Love Love your style.It is exactly what I am trying to achieve in my pictures. I am jut a mom with camera dying to get shots of my son like yours. You are really talented! Thanks for your helpful hints and tips they are really helpful. I was wondering your pictures with grass like with your girls in the swings and laying on the grass how do you get those great colors? I’m pretty new to photoshop so I was wondering if you had any tips on getting those colors? Love the skin tone and vibrant colors! Thank you and any advice would be extremely helpful.

First of all let me begin by saying I LOVE your work! Your preemie photo really hit home as one of my best friends just delivered TRIPLETS last night 8 weeks early…I am dying to take some photos…your photo was a great capture. I also wanted to say THANKS for choosing my photo as a winner! My photo was the one with the can tops…it literally made my day, I felt like doing cartwheels! Once again, love your work, I’m a big fan!!
