Beth Forester is owner and operator of Forester Photography, a studio in the small coal-mining town of Madison, West Virginia. A West Virginia native, born in Logan in 1969, Beth Forester did not develop an interest in photography until 1990 when her daughter, Katherine, was born. In 1995 she turned her hobby into a business and opened a studio in her hometown. Currently in the 11th year of her career, BethÕs studio specializes in portrait photography and operates 100% digitally. She states, ÒI 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. I feel digital photography enables me to give my clients more quality, originality, and creativity.Ó She has three times been named West Virginia Photographer of the Year (2004, 2006 and 2007). She has also received the prestigious honor of being twice named Mid-East States Photographer of the Year in 2006 and 2007. Along the way to achieving these titles, Beth has earned 3 PPA National Photographer of the Year awards (2 gold and 1 platinum), 10 Kodak gallery awards, 4 Fuji Masterpiece awards and 9 Loan Collection images.

Diane "dinny", is the design force behind Dinny's Designs, a Delaware-based company specializing in professional graphic design for small businesses. Dinny has been designing since the early 80's, after graduating from Drexel University in Philadelphia. She concentrated mostly on environmental graphics (signage), but in 2000 learned about the exciting possibilites of designing for the web. Dinny's Designs opened for business and the fun began! With the birth of her children came a renewed interest in photography. While searching for creative ways to display her memories, she came across the fledgling world of digital scrapbooking, and was soon waist-deep in albums for every occasion. Dinny now offers her concepts to the professional photography world, and is responsible for all of the photoDUD designs.
