You must grab some more fields from your XML document.
Here also ID and Name are collected.

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("XMLFile/PrintLabelList.xml");
var records = (from lablemname in doc.Root?.Elements("Employee")
   select new
   {
      ID = lablemname.Element("ID")?.Value,
      Name = lablemname.Element("Name")?.Value,
      Image = lablemname.Element("Image")?.Value,                   
   });

You can then easily get any wished item e.g. by its ID

var item = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.ID == "104");

The image bytes can be accessed like this:

var imageBytes = item?.Image;
