Colby Anne Casoria - 14 Year Old Birthday Girl, Full of Aspirations / Bryant Park
July 21, 2007
Wow. First of all, I cannot believe that this girl is 14. She seems so self-assured, so full of a quiet confidence and independence that I could never have dreamed of posessing at that age (or, perhaps, even now). This is a great portrait. They're getting better and better.

the perfect setting for her, with that patterned dress and those curls... it's almost like a Pre-Raphaelite painting! beautifully done, Bill.

For the rest of her life, if Colby needs some confidence she should look at this picture!

A message from Colby's West Coast family: thank you for sharing this stunning portrait, Bill. Cole, you look so mature. Taly says, "It looks like you're in a wine garden." We hope your 14th birthday celebration was terrific!
- Auntie Rainy, Uncle John, Nata

Eva, Thanking you for sharing this photo with me. Colby, since I first met you, you had this confidence and beauty, not only ouside but inside as well. You look absolutely stunning. The presence you are presenting in this photo is beyond anyone at the age of 14. If you carry yourself as you always do, everyone will get to see the beauty you possess. Amazing! xoxo

Dear Colby!! Wow!! God Bless you, Colby!! This picture exemplifies who we know you to be....a good, decent, and loving girl, whose beauty comes through from within!! It even shows up when you're actually acting your age.... (and that's not too often!!) Your Auntie Marie is out of town, but I'm sure she'll love this. I will show it to the boys, and I'm sure they'll lhave trouble, STILL, believing you're only 14!! Love and hugs... Uncle Rick....

What a great picture! I love the regal carriage of her posture. She looks elegant and she does not at all look posed. Comfortable, confident, beautiful and sure of herself. Can't wait to see more of your pictures!
