A Portrait Studio by Swathwood Photography

Nov 2018

Not at day goes by that I don’t stop and admire my portrait Marion and Gary did for us of our son. They captured his sweet smile so perfectly. My son is not a fan of having his picture taken and Marion knew how worried I was about his sitting. She and Gary showed up with a gift to warm him up and to get to know him. They played with his trucks on our floor and had him completely relaxed and laughing. They are the only photographers who have ever been able to do that! I am forever grateful. Look forward to the day they come to photograph my daughter. Would definitely recommend!! Thank you!

They captured the most beautiful picture of my baby girl. Such a pleasure.

I've been a client and friend of Marion and Gary since 1991 when they did my bridal portrait. Since then, they have photographed my husband and me and our children many times. The talent and artistry of this couple is proudly displayed all around my home and in Christmas cards. The Silbers have a way of working with children and animals that is amazing to behold. (We will never forget the sitting on the Natchez Trace with 3 kids and 2 English Mastiffs!!) No matter what crazy ideas I've had for a sitting, this couple has risen to the occasion and come up with some funny ideas of their own, and we've loved them all. No matter where the sitting takes place or how long it takes, they make you feel comfortable with their gracious and professional manner. And the results simply take your breath away with their beauty and elegance. Thank you Mare and Gare for 26 years of loving friendship and artistry!
