Thank you Diane! You’ve got a keen eye to pick up the story in that one particular image. It was really beautiful, they way they did that song in the church, really touching.

Tracey it was such a nice morning. Time will tell about new families to work with. I was very happy just to have the opportunity to show my work and explain what I do. I’m patient, sometimes it takes my clients up to a year to go ahead. But when they do, of course, it’s wonderful!

Glad it went well for you. Hopefully you drummed up some more business for yourself

It’s my pleasure Lisa, I’m glad I could do this for you. In the end a better contribution than entering a framed print or something in the silent auction. Sometimes a money contribution isn’t what’s required. It was a fun night too and everyone had a great time! And amazing that you pulled it off so quickly, just amazing! Xxxx

Lisa Goodwin - November 18, 2010 - 10:27 am

Beth, The evening was amazing and one that was very special to me and my family. Thanks for taking the time out to capture some of the moments that will help us to always remember. Your skill and your time is greatly appreciated.

Beth Jennings - November 17, 2010 - 11:22 am

Kara, it was an absolute pleasure. The atmosphere was a strange mix, bittersweet. Such an amazing collective of good will and heartfelt wishes for your family, but tinged with a terrible sadness. I’m just glad I could do this for you all. Thank you Xxxx

Kara Dwyer - November 17, 2010 - 10:22 am

Dear Beth, Sincerely, thank you for doing an absolutely wonderful job of visually representing this marvelous event. You are an Angel – thank you for your expertise. Congratulations on providing and more importantly sharing with everyone, this was very well done and I appreciate it so very much. Thank you for sharing.

Karina - November 15, 2010 - 7:06 pm

Beth, as always you have delivered a fabulous story in your photos! It was a fantastic night, one to be remembered by many. Thankyou so so much and bless the Somlyays – what a golden family xx

The Anticipated Arrival of Ruby

I’ll wait with patience for the next time we meet…Ella will be a bigger girl by then and Ruby will be talking!!…Xxxx

Tina Mizgalski - November 13, 2010 - 3:13 pm

Wow Beth !! you really are clever. Thank you so very much for not only capturing these totally precious moments that pass us by so quickly but creating magical pieces of artwork that take me straight back to the snippets of captured time – the smells, the cuddles, the touches, the emotions, the textures and the sounds. Your photographs bring memories back to life in the most stunning way – smiles, and tears, and warm and fuzzy’s!
I cant wait to get our photos framed and on our wall for all to see – but most importantly, for us to admire :-)
Thanks again Beth, its been an absolute pleasure and we look forward to next time.
Tina, Adam, Ella, Ruby and Chilli
