Beth Partain Forester is owner and operator of Forester Photography, a studio in the small town of Madison, West Virginia.
She is a graduate of Centre College of Kentucky and is currently serving as a board member for the Professional Photographers of West Virginia. She is also a member of the Professional Photographers of America where she holds the degree of Master of Photography.
Beth's interest in photography began soon after her daughter, Katherine, was born. In 1995 she turned her hobby into a business and opened a studio in her hometown. BethÕs studio specializes in creating digitally enhanced portraits. She is always striving to create something unique and original for each of her clients. She states, "I love the control I have over the final look of the portrait. The ability to put that little something extra into each image is a very rewarding experience."
In 2007, she decided to create a series of products especially for the professional photographer, which would serve as a "kit" for creating digitally unique portraits and products. Thus, the photoDUDS project was born.
