Betsy began her professional career as a fashion model with the Ford Model Agency in New York City. She appeared on the covers of leading women's and fashion magazines and worked with many of the world's finest photographers.

After ten successful years, Betsy decided to make the transition from one side of the camera to the other. She took some test shots of two young models which after they appeared in Life magazine, caused such a
sensation that the first issue of Look magazine followed up with a four-page
spread of the then-unknown models, Lisanne Falk and Brooke Shields.

Over the next several years, Betsy's photographs appeared in numerous magazines throughout the world. Then, in 1980, Betsy accepted an assignment from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees which was to change her view forever not only of photography, but of life. She spent three months in Cambodia photographing refugee children who had become separated from their families by war. The photographs were published and sent to various refugee camps on both sides of the Cambodian border in an effort to reunite the children with their relatives. The idea worked and over 2,200
children were resettled with their families
           
Betsy's next adventure started after becoming a mother. In her own  words: Having moved behind the camera I wanted to develop ideas from a  different perspective. My interest in photography led me to a new type  of photographic storytelling featuring what I believe to be the most  beautiful things on our planet, children. I wished to explore images of 
babies and children that tell stories, pique the imagination and touch the  heart. Today, my work has culminated in what my friends and fans  call some of the most heartfelt and endearing images in the world.

Betsy has achieved considerable success in the United States with a furniture collection
for Lexington and prints with the Bruce McGaw company.

Betsy now wishes to share her images with commercial partners and consumers around the world.
