Parent & Teacher Reviews

Alison is a loving, warm, energetic, and very talented photographer!! Not only her final results are magical, but I am always impressed on how she manages to capture each child’s essence and personality through her lens. She has taken our yearbook pictures for two years now and I have appreciated how welcoming, fun, and caring she is towards my students. She takes her time, studies the environment (you also don’t feel she is in the room!) and she takes candid pictures of children working, laughing, playing, and being themselves. Professionally, she is outstanding, and personally I can assure you that Ali is one of a kind! She is one of those people that you do want to have around because she always manage to give you a smile, share a story, or simply give you that positive energy boost that you need on a daily basis.

School pictures are such a lovely way to mark the changes in our children from year to year. As much at the standard style portraits get the job done a photo taken of your child that shows their personality takes school pictures to a much different place. Allison DeSilva, of DeSilva Studios, has taken beautiful school photos of my children that show who they are and that sparkle that makes them special. I treasure her photos and the obvious care she takes to capture children as they are in the best way possible.
