The Vision Has Never Changed
Families are portrayed today in the Walden’s well-known Relationship style.

Tim’s dad, Bob, was paralyzed in a freak accident, yet continued on as a portrait photographer and trained young Tim to follow in his footsteps.
The details mattered. Every single one.
Because how you begin says everything. It’s not just the first impression—it’s a declaration. Of who you are. Why you’re here. What you stand for.
Years ago, win or lose, we chose to return to our roots—to black and white fine art portraiture in a world enamored with color photography and a digital camera in every hand. It wasn’t trendy. It wasn’t easy.
But it was right.
In those early days, Tim spent countless hours in our basement darkroom. He was trained by his father, Bob Walden, a Master of Photography, from the age of 12. Every image was treated with intention and care. No shortcuts. Just patience, skill, and soul.
Each portrait was hand-printed, matted, and delivered as a work of art—because that’s what it was. Not just a photograph, but a story. A legacy. Something meant to outlast trends and outlive time.
That same commitment guides us today.
We’ve evolved, of course. The tools have changed. The technology has advanced. But the heart of our work—the purpose behind it—remains unchanged.
We still believe portraits are meant to be felt, not just seen.
That families deserve to be documented with grace and reverence. That children grow too fast, and time is too fleeting to leave these moments to chance.
The vision has never changed because our heart has never changed.
And it never will.
Our current love, Mabel, a 5-year old rescue and the sweetest girl you would ever want!
The first of a long line of Englsh Bulldogs loved by Tim and Bev. This was Rosie.
