Testimonials
Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into making our photoshoot tons of fun. Your pictures are beautiful. I personally have never really had professional pictures taken before and your enthusiasm and humour made it a really fun experience for not only myself, but all the other girls. Thank you for helping to make one of the last times we'll all be together really special!

The experience of having family pictures taken by Rhoda and her staff was relaxing and a lot of fun (for all 17 of us), the end result being pictures that were over the top in attention to detail and quality of work.
The Foy Family
My husband and I were delighted with our family photos! Rhoda's easy and relaxed manner made the photo shoot fun for the whole family. Her attention to detail and her artistic eye ensures great pictures to choose from for her clients. I also appreciated the professional and helpful way in which she worked with us both at the time of the shoot and afterwards when helping us to decide on our particular photos. I am more than happy to recommend Rhoda to anyone for a great photo experience! Excellent service and great photographer!

We had Rhoda come for a makeover night with a bunch of women.. after they had their makeup done and hair , Rhoda took our pictures and they were fantastic. She made it so much fun and I have never been so relaxed in front of a camera before. The pictures turned out beautiful!
Rhoda makes you look real good! I totally recommend Rhoda.

The Artful Lens was excellent with our children during the photo shoot. It was very organized allowing it to be a very positive experience. Most importantly, the end result was outstanding.
Kaleb and Gwen Jewell
Rhoda captured some very special moments with us and our two sons, ages 2 and 3 months, challenging ages for photographers! We enjoyed her creativity and her fun nature put us all at ease.

We don’t know how to put into words our appreciation of your efforts during our parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. We found you unexpectedly, and took a chance that you would record this special day for our family and friends.
The contract was full of possible pit falls. You would have to keep all three of us siblings (as well as our spouses) satisfied. Above all, you would be under the scrutiny of our parents, who expect nothing short of perfection.
Well, Rhoda, you have stood up to the name of your company, The Artful Lens. Your talents as an artist are rare, and your ability to join into our celebration rather than being "just a photographer", resulted in you and your assistant being welcomed by all.
Many of our 175 guests had kind words to say about both you and your assistant. The overlying comments were how you managed to “blend in”, and “pick just the right time” to record the many special moments during the evening.
The proof of your dedication, professionalism and experience as a photographer is also shown in the final packages you delivered.
Please accept our sincerest thank you for your efforts, patience, understanding and suggestions which ensured that this once in a lifetime celebration would be recorded for future generations.
The Erickson family
Our wedding planner who had worked with Rhoda in the past referred my husband and me to Rhoda. We now completely understand why Rhoda is so highly sought after. We feel so lucky to have been put in touch with her.
Rhoda is everything you would look for in photographer: thorough, punctual, and knowledgeable; however, she is so much more. She is creative, fun, and can create a calm atmosphere for a bride who is overwhelmed and maybe a little stressed out. I am so thankful that she suggested some shots that at first I wasn’t sure I would want but now are among the pictures I am hanging on my walls!
My only regret is that I didn’t take Rhoda with me to my reception in Mexico. If I could turn back time, I would have flown her there to capture the second half of my wedding in a way that I’m sure only she could have. We are planning to do family portraits soon and I know who I will be using!
