Paul Lynde, Comedian and Actor:
"Paul Lynde, the center square on Hollywood Squares was a memorable photography client. As he walked by our studio in Ogunquit, Maine, he saw Daphne's work in the window and he said, "Oh what beautiful paintings you do." He was told that they were photographs. Still in disbelief he came into the studio with his dog Alfred and said, "I would really like to have a photograph of myself with my dog for a new PR picture." The session was truly a memorable experience for all. Paul Lynde's response to seeing the photos was "Daphne, you have captured me the way I want to be remembered." After his untimely death a few months later, we were inundated by calls asking what was Paul really like? And the truth is, he was exactly like he was on film and TV -- hysterical!

Dear Daphne:
In 1984 I had poor self esteem. My boyfriend had cheated on me and I was
devastated. I found you through an ad and I went to your studio in
Ogunquit. I'll never forget that day or the photographs. I couldn't afford your
prices but I did the photographs anyway. A few months later, I received
a full scholarship to Boston University School of Theology. Although I
enrolled I never finished but met some wonderful people and tried to do some
modeling. In Theology school I did learn that I have a gift for public
speaking although I was very shy about it. After leaving school I landed a job
as a Telethon coordinator and soon discovered I wanted to be in
broadcasting. I applied for a job as a News Director for a small radio station and
got it (out of 24 applicants). That was here in Gardner, MA and I have
since opened up a Real Estate brokerage.
Although I've been a real estate broker for over 20 years (and have made a
small fortune), I'm now a photographer (some portraits but mostly
flowers). I couldn't have done what I did without gaining some self esteem and you
certainly helped me in that area a great deal (and got me thinking I'm
worth something).
I ran for State Representative 2 years ago and may try again. I don't
need the glamour or props any more and can stand on my own and hold my head up
high, but when I was 29, alone, shy and mousy, I needed someone like you
to set me in a more positive direction. Here's one of the photos you took
of me. You did a beautiful job.
Thank you. (and please feel free to use any part of this letter for a
testimonial).

"I knew what I wanted-- not too much of the traditional boudoir -- something I could put in my home -- both artistic and personal -- to reveal what I was about. Well, I got exactly what I wanted. Daphne you are amazing!

"This portrait was created for me in when I was 11 years old. The background was painted by a Boston artist. I can even remember picking out the fruit for the table. I am so happy to have this beautiful large photograph in my home today. It brings back happy memories and one day I hope to have my own children to have you photograph.

"This booking started out as a great idea for a unique present for the love of my life, but I think I got more out of the experience! The wonderful day was a treat that made me feel beautiful, boosted my self confidence, and instilled a smile on my face that lasted for days! And that was all until I got the pictures--- now I have an album for life! I never anticipated how great this would be, and that makes it all the better. The pictures are now a treasured gift from an even happier wife."

"I want to tell you how much I enjoyed the photo shoot and also enjoyed giving the photo album to my boyfriend. He LOVES IT! He was absolutely shocked, and was talking about it for weeks afterward. We are on opposite schedules, so even though we live together, I only see him on weekends and he loves looking at the album during the week. I am recommending you to all my friends! I was very comfortable during the shoot you guys made it really enjoyable. Thanks so much for everything."
