About The Studio
I I always tell my prospective wedding clients this... "after you have eaten the wedding cake...dried the bouquet...and stored the wedding gown...all you have left are your photographs."
Choosing the right wedding photographer is one of the most lasting wedding choices you will make.
What we do here in our studio and from our studio is
"All About The Moment".
Your baby is only a baby for the first year of life...those days must be captured "in that moment".
Families are in constant change and to have a beautiful reminder of those stages in your home is priceless.
Portraits are (and should be) your homes most VALUABLE work of art! Our studio has recently done restoration work for the 2006 tornado and the Hurricane Katrina victims. Those clients describe their photographs as the most precious tangible possession they carried away from the disaster!
~ PHOTOGRAPHY IS LIFE ~
The Photographer:
Myra Godby has worked as a professional portrait photographer since 1983. Her love of the art formed as a 12 year old child when she was given her first 35mm SLR by her parents as a Christmas gift.
"My mother gave to me her love of photographs. She held them in high regard and made sure her children understood that they were more than just a way to document events...they were the way we capture our family history for generations to come."
"Everyone's picking up a digital camera and taking
pictures these days. But it's not the camera that creates
a portrait...it's the person behind the camera!"
Myra holds two Bachelor of Arts Degrees from Western Kentucky University...graduating in 1982. She was trained in theatre and television and uses the still light techniques of the old masters. This lost art of still lighting gives her works their distinctive look.
She is a memeber of the Professional Photographers of America...married to Richard Godby...mother to Stephanie Godby and is a member of Victory Missionary Baptist Church in Hendersonville.
