Dear Michael and Louise,
In 1988, when we lived in Queens, New York, we had our family portrait taken by you, Michael A. De Martino.
The
portrait captured an expression on each of our children that we fell in love with because we related to it.
We
now live in De Bary Florida and still 14 years later have our portrait in our living room.
Then in January 2002, the portrait fell hitting a glass table. As the glass shattered, it went into the portrait and damaged it. My heart just fell to my feet, thinking nothing could be done to salvage it.
Then we made a phone call to you. You told us not to worry, that it could be
fixed. You not only fixed it, we were surprised that you had made a new portrait
for
us at NO CHARGE!
We now have our portrait back where it belongs. It was done to perfection!
We didn't know it had a lifetime guarantee on it
and even if we didn't, we would have paid whatever because it is priceless to us.
We could never thank you enough for giving us back something that will stay in our family for generations.
I'm sorry to say that we didn't realize how
important that portrait was until it wasn't there any more.
Now that our family is bigger, we are thinking of taking more pictures.
You will never know how much this portrait means to us, THANK YOU!

PS. It is nice to know there are still some people who
take pride in their work.
Michael,
Just a note to let you know how thrilled we are with the family portraits. To
capture a group of our size and get them to all look great was nothing short
of a miracle, especially considering one of our four year olds was bound he was
not going to be in the picture. Now he loves seeing his smiling face among all
his other cousins. Our hats are off to you for your patience, professionalism
and your awesome results. I don't want to forget to say how thrilled all my children
are with their individual family photos. The inclusion of their pets amazed
even the ones who thought their dogs would never "pose". They are truly "family" photos. We
are so glad we discovered you! Thank You.

Dear
Michael,
I want to thank you for taking such great pictures
of my family at my mother's 80th birthday party. You captured
our family
spirit in a place we all love to visit.
My
family is very pleased with the portraits and you and
Louise made the process easy and fun.
Next
time we do a family portrait we will be sure to call
on you again.
Sincerely
Patti Morneault - McLean, VA
