You see something very few people see; you go deeper than what most people see, and then you get it on film.
The complete capturing of our boys’ personalities rendered in your photographs that sit in frames all over our house never ceases to amaze me, and talk about treasures in life – well, these are they for both my husband and me. We have not had any taken since then of us as a family that are half as good and that was 19 years ago.
The point of art is what the viewer sees. Your art is so solid artistically and technically, that you, as the artist, are essentially silent, facilitating an immediate connection between the art and the viewer.
These are moments that guard the child…unobtrusive...while distilling the essence of the child.
You understand the moment...you have the ability to catch the moment...you grasp that thread through time. (These images are) not just of the ages two through five, they are representative of humankind.
These images crystallize what children mean...what childhood means.
Fine art...great art…captures a moment that stirs the human spirit. Your photographs are moments in time turned into art.
These are photographs of the kid’s lives, not just photographs of the kids.
These are images that transcend the individual child.
When you take pictures of me, I can be myself and do things that I like to do, like cartwheels across the lawn.
You have captured our family moments like no one else. You documented some of my best childhood memories of Lake Placid, whether I was water skiing, playing in the fort, driving the boats or walking in the woods. Now as an aunt, my favorite pictures of my nieces and nephews are the ones you have taken. You know how to capture the heart of a child on film. It is a rare gift.
The most appealing images of children I have ever seen.
These are not just pictures...they are pictures that tell a story. I wish you had been around when my children were little.
