Today, we love sharing those lessons.

A Lifelong Passion for Photography

Some people spend years searching for their calling—Tim knew his from the start. At just 12 years old, he discovered his passion while helping his father in the darkroom. That early spark ignited a lifelong commitment to portrait photography, following in the footsteps of his father, Bob Walden.

Tim’s dedication to the craft led him to serve as President of the Professional Photographers of America in 2013, leading an international community of over 30,000 photographers. He is also a distinguished member ofCamera Craftsmen of America, an elite photography organization founded in 1905.

Today, Tim and Beverly own and operate Walden’s Photography, creating timeless portrait art while also coaching photographers across the U.S. and beyond.

Both are honored members of the Society of XXV, a prestigious group of international photographers who meet annually to push the boundaries of photographic excellence.

For Tim, photography isn’t just a career—it’s a legacy, a passion, and a lifelong pursuit of artistry.

From Studio Helper to Artist: Bev's Journey

Bev's journey in photography began as a helper in the Walden studio, founded by Bob Walden, Tim’s father. It didn’t take long for her to realize—this was more than just a job; it was a passion.

With the unwavering support of both Bob and Tim, her greatest cheerleaders, she pursued her dream and earned the coveted Master and Craftsman degrees from the Professional Photographers of America.

After years behind the camera, she transitioned into sales, but her heart kept calling her back to artistry. Today, she brings her Beau Visage portraits to life through paintings, blending photography with fine art.

Alongside Tim, she also focuses on marketing as they continue to elevate Walden’s Photography, crafting timeless portraits for their clients.

She created the Tuesday Tidbits over a decade ago and they have become a staple for many photographers, both veterans of photography as well as beginners.

What are they? As it says, they are Tidbits of information and inspiration, focused on photography, that land squarely in your InBox every other Tuesday.
