Phyllis Skrysak - That’s my darling grandbaby. She was born in March and, when we come to visit again at Christmas, we will have been to visit Michelle, Jerome and Allie for the 4th time! I can’t believe how incredibly beautiful these pictures of my family are. You are a truly gifted artist. I work at a hospital and brought up the blog of the other 2 pictures of the 3 of them and Allie with the headband and bright flower and I must have had 2 dozen people raving about the pictures. One of the nurses thought she should be a baby model. Another worker in the Cardiac Cath Lab told me to order the flower one in a poster size and she couldn’t believe how gorgeous the lighting was in the park with the little rainbow in the upper corner. Everyone could tell that this was not just photography but “art”.

You have done true justice to my daughter, son-in-law and beautiful fasionista Allison- for sure.

Always, Grandma Skrysak

alpana - Thanks so much for your wonderful comments Grandma Phyllis. Ally was a joy to photograph and I am so glad you are enjoying the pictures!

Barbara Havrilla - Your daughter is just beautiful! These pictures are gorgeous! Your mom and I compare picture all the time.

Jeff Skrysak - These are some amazing photos! Great color, great use of lighting, and of course, a beautiful subject. 🙂 She is adorable. – Uncle Jeff

Jenny - I’m a sucker for black and whites, and just love what you did with these. A gorgeous subject always helps too! 🙂
Jenny

Ellen Ing - These pictures are gorgeous, what I like the most is they are so natural.
