Dear Sterling & Linda,
Seeing your beautiful portraits of Leslie, Charlie, Zoe, and Dara brought me comfort beyond words. I felt as if I had had a final visit with them, and I will treasure the memory always.
Thank you for your kindness and your skill. I cannot tell you how much they have helped during this difficult time.
Love,
Sara Guest

Hi Sterling, thank you very much for the beautiful, and tasteful, fruit arrangement. I wanted to express my thoughts on the pictures you took of us.
Sterling, sitting in your studio the other day reviewing the pictures from our photo day was just a great experience. While I loved the pictures and how you captured the real personalities of each person, I kept fast forwarding to the days when the kids will be out of the house and living their lives. It was very emotional for me thinking about that but I realized that these pictures would always bring me back to this point in their and my life and how wonderful it would be reliving these wonderful times. We will always treasure these memories and your pictures will help them come to life again for us. Thank you for this wonderful gift; the pictures and experience are priceless!

"Our experience with Sterling was beyond our wildest expectations. He has an eye for finding the perfect simplicity in every picture he takes. He captured the essence of each of my children so beautifully that many years later each photograph still causes me to sigh. I can't wait to see what he does for our family next time."

I have looked through my “Searles Family Album” 600 times and every time I look, I find a new detail, a new expression, a new surprise. A million times in my life have I wanted to have my portrait taken – I always felt like I looked good in pictures and thought it would be nice to have a portrait for my home. But I have never felt truly beautiful until I saw myself through Sterling’s eyes. I just never expected a photograph to encapsulate how much I love my son…Sterling’s work goes so far above and beyond photography. And that is so utterly wonderful about my Sterling portraits: they are not just portraits! They are a living, breathing moment of my life that I now have preserved forever and can share with anyone who comes to my home. Thank you so much!

You all had such a way of making us feel comfortable and we had such fun with you!! We truly enjoyed your company and feel as though we've known you all for quite some time.
We can't thank you enough for capturing our family during such a precious time in our children's lives.
Hope to see you soon!
Fondly,

We are also absolutely delighted with the album & the other portraits we ordered. I have, of course, been showing off the album to anyone I can get to sit still long enough ... Everyone is really blown away by how beautiful it is. We will always cherish it.
It meant a lot to both of us to have not only a wonderful photographer & his incredible assistant (& elbow-arranger!) take our wedding photographs, but also to have you there as our friends to celebrate with us. It was a truly incredible day.
Love,

Your process was even wonderful. Your company is friendly & knowledgeable. Each step is well thought out and easy for the client. Your presentation is special. You even helped us find the perfect dog! Talk about value-added. Thank you

Dear Sterling,
Linton and I wanted to let you know how very much we have been enjoying the "Works of Art" you took of our children, David and Michael. We have them prominently displayed in both our living and family rooms. I can't begin to tell you how many people have commented on how beautiful your work is and how you were able to capture those very special expressions of each of my children. You captured both the innocence and curiosity of childhood that we will treasure for ever.
Thank
you once again.

Dear Sterling,
I continue to take pleasure in the photographs you recently took of my grandchildren and me. When presenting them to friends (family will be at the holidays), the comments are always very complimentary, not only on the subjects but also on the quality of your work. I always take this opportunity to share your name with my friends as I truly enjoyed the photo sessions. Your level of energy when working with my grandchildren was amazing, to say the least.
.... Again, thank you for a "job well done". My pleasure continues every time I look at the photographs of my "little ones".
Sincerely
yours,
Jo Ellen

Dear Sterling and Linda,
James and I would like to thank you again for making Haven Spring and that whole fabulous package possible.
Only one of us is comfortable in front of a camera. You two, however, went about your craft in such a gentle, humorous, yet professional manner that the time became a wonderful, comfortable experience for both of us.
The results were, as expected, top-of-the-line images that made even the two of us look good. You are indeed miracle workers!
Keep up the great teamwork. We are proud of you. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Dear Sterling & Linda,
We are so delighted with our family portraits and the individual shots of the children. " You captured their souls!" is what Bob said, later that night, as we poured over the proofs. Thank you for your diligence, patience, and warmth in working with the children. The images are riveting, beautiful, and unforgettable.
In
appreciation,

Dear Sterling,
I do not believe I can adequately express how thrilled we are with our portraiture and how much we appreciate all your efforts to make the entire experience with Sterling Photography a sheer delight. The term portrait seems so inadequate as I look at your talent displayed on canvas and think of each piece as a work of art. Each pose reflects your attention to detail and your brilliant sense of design. Ashley and Alexandra thoroughly enjoyed their time in the spotlight and John and I were amazed by your ability to capture their unique personalities with such apparent ease. You are truly a master in your field.
Thank you for creating an album we treasure and wall portraits that warm our hearts daily. I wish you continued success.
Very
truly yours,
Lisa

Sterling & Linda,
When we made the bid on your portrait package, we thought we were getting a picture. Come in, sit down, smile and click, your picture is done. It was amazing being involved in the intricate portrait process from the consultation to the fun day of playing with our kids to the stunning slide show. You've given us an album full of wonderful memories of our family. We could never thank you both properly for the years of smiles.
Fondly,
Patty
and Larry Fleming
