"You have a gift … an extraordinary ability to capture the spirit and the essence of these very amazing people. It still makes me smile, and occasionally moves me to tears, to look closely at these faces."

"We have used John Derryberry for 20 years to photograph all of our family milestones. He is amazing … worth every penny and then some!"

"Years ago, I had the privilege of meeting some of the great names in photography, including Philippe Halsman, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Bert Stern, Joseph Costa and Ezra Stoller.
Who could have predicted that, one day, I would meet another great photographer -- you -- who impressed me just as much by skillfully capturing the unique beauty of my granddaughter and her proud father.
