Ms. Lord's photographs communicate the joy of the evening, the excitement of our graduates, and those unexpected, quirky and magical moments that all of us want to capture to share with others. Ms. Lord has a special eye for the beauty and humanity of the people she photographs, making her prints truly personal and evocative souvenirs of any event.

We had a great day to shoot on and I couldn't have asked for anything<br />more. Beverlie' does an amazing job at taking an ordinary shot and turning it into an extraordinary piece of art. The way she can take the simplest picture and<br />make it come to life is truly a talent. My friend has talked about her for sometime and always sends pictures she has taken of his family. This was our first<br />meeting, but based on - if first impressions mean anything, I believe my wife and I have a photographer for years to come especially with a baby on the way. We<br />can't wait to take those pictures. To anyone needing a great photographer, Beverlie' definitely has our vote. There is not one picture we did not like.

To say "thank you" for the memories she has given us doesn't begin show our sincerest appreciation. Beverlie' was able to extract our passion, love and excitement for each other and our first pregnancy and reflect it all in our pictures. Our daughter will look back at the album and know how much we loved her and each other before she was even born. I can say that it's because of Beverlie's engaging and comfortable personality that Jeremy and I were able to relax and let the true essence of us shine through during the photo session. We will only look to Beverlie' for capturing our precious life moments and encourage everyone we know to do the same.

As an all volunteer event, we experienced varying degrees of commitment and effort from many people who signed up to help out. Beverlie's professionalism never wavered and she treated us just like paying clients. What I appreciated most (besides the incredible photographs) was Beverlie's ability to work without direction in a very hectic and bustling environment. The day long event featured more than a twenty speakers and panelists who presented in 15 workshops and occupied almost an entire building. Needless to say, Beverlie's take charge attitude was much appreciated. Although she worked independently most of the time, she also checked in with me at regular intervals to ask if there were particular people or scenes that we wanted pictures of. This was a life saver for me because in all the movement and excitement of the day it would have never occurred to me to grab her and say “Hey, please get a shot of so-and-so doing this or these two folks together” She also used her keen eye and observation skills to pin-point key players and volunteers and made sure to get pictures of all of them! The photographs, of course, are priceless! From birds eye views of the whole group of 350 at lunch to more intimate shots (including me hugging a friend from high school whom I haven't seen in years!) she used the beautiful setting and streaming sunlight capture the joy and excitement we were all experiencing. You can almost hear the learning and connecting going on! We are ever grateful for the beautiful images and incredibly generous donation.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </span></p> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10"> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10"> <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CBeverlie%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" /><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PersonName"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id=ieooui></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><style type="text/css"> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal"><st1:personname>Katie Rehwaldt</st1:personname></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><st1:country-region><st1:place>America</st1:place></st1:country-region> the Beautiful fund</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p> <hr /> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">“On Valentine’s Day 2009, my friends and I broke the Guinness World Record for Most Kisses in a Minute at an event we called Kiss Cancer Goodbye, a fundraiser for The Wellness Community.
