Hudson Photographic Artistry has been featured for September in the 2010 Calendar distributed by DBTAC Northwest. (DBTAC means Disability and Business Technical Assistance Center) http://www.dbtacnorthwest.org/

The studio was selected because it was named 2009 Small Private Employer by the Governor’s Committee on Disability Issues and Employment. Accompanied by photos of the studio’s staff, the calendar also included a short description of the business:

“Hudson Photographic Artistry, portrait studio founded in 1946, was purchased by its current owner, Rex-zane Rudee, in 1982. In 2008, as the studio gained in popularity, Rex, and his son and business partner, Quinn, considered the idea of hiring some people with disabilities to help with the considerable computer work the studio demanded.

“Through Holly Ridge Center, a non-profit employment center that works with people with disabilities, Alison was hired. Alison was accommodated with a computer and keyboard from Washington Department of Services for the Blind, and flourished at the studio.

“After the success of hiring Alison, Hudson went through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and hired Aaron as a custodian. All of Hudson’s employees participate fully in the studio’s employee activities, and owners look forward to hiring more people with disabilities.”
