Science in action: “Honestly, I think those are some of the coolest photos that I have seen come off of any of our [prescribed burns]. It clearly shows that we need to bring people with us that know how to use cameras. Your photos are especially great because you have shots with everyone wearing the proper PPE which sadly is an irregularity. These will be great for determining fire intensity. I will be sure to mention you in my report to my manager about this prescribed fire.” Fire Management Technician, Prince Albert National Park (Canada) re these images.

Food & Travel: “The article on Quebec lobster has excellent photos. It’s hard to photograph food, but you seem to have a professional eye for it. When I saw it I was ready to dig right in!” re this article

Events:
“Collaborating with photographer Bethann Merkle during our annual volunteer appreciation evening was a delight. Her ability to capture the moment while being unobtrusive was remarkable – her equipment works in low light and her images caught great expressions and flattering poses even though people were eating and talking. Her professionalism shone through in every aspect of her work, and our staff and volunteers were able to relax and enjoy the event knowing she was taking care of recording it. I really appreciate her attention to detail, creativity, and on-time delivery. I would recommend her work to other non-profit orgs looking for something a little out of the ordinary!” Jan Anderson, Jeffrey Hale Community Services

“You are a FABULOUS event photographer. You captured so many of the moments that I will remember so well.” Bridesmaid/sister of the bride; pre-wedding shots at a Seattle wedding.
