About

It all started in a darkroom  thirty years ago... 

 

Photographer, Beth Pelton grew up in Massachusetts and now resides in a farmhouse with her  family  in rural New Hampshire.

 

An obsession with the art of photography and the adventure  from lens to print started in a high school dark room. "I could spend hours playing with the enlarger and  processing black and white photographs. I loved it! My instructors were a great inspiration and believed in my work."

 

Beth has a background in graphic design and holds a bachelor's degree in Environmental Education from the University of Wyoming. Her work has been in several publications including  At Home Magazine, ELF Magazine, and the Greenfield Recorder. She has also freelanced for the Brattleboro Reformer for front page, sports and entertainment articles.  Beth has shown her work in many exhibits around New England. Her images have  been selected in juried shows, winning an award of excellence, honorable mention, as well as placing in a number of photography contests.

 

 Three years ago after an unfortunate shoulder trauma ,  Beth decided  to focus more  on what she loved.  "I needed a positive outlet to take my mind off of the pain.  I could barely hold the camera at first, but I didn't give up."   And she hasn't.  Beth  spends  most of her  time  perfecting her craft and looking for new ways to grow in the photography field.

"WGBY, a public TV and PBS member station out of Springfield, MA, relied on Beth Pelton and Eight Cattails Imagery to capture our 2016 Masterpiece Ball. Our event was a large production with hundreds of glamorous guests. So, we needed the night documented by a photographer with an eye for magical moments. Beth Pelton delivered, giving us high-quality photos that conveyed the joy and beauty of the night. I would confidently work with her again."

“Beth recently photographed our event, Dinner on the Ashuelot Covered Bridge. She truly captured the joyful essence of the occasion, AND the photos that she took of the event are going to be featured on Boston Chronicle in the near future.  Not only does Beth have a special gift with photography, but she is also a lovely person to work with.”
