“This is the third time we have been to Larry Hersberger for photos with the boys. Each time, he has just made absolutely gorgeous pictures. They are not just pictures. They really are Masterpieces! Larry and Ela are so talented and creative. We were so lucky to have crossed their paths. Thank you, Larry, for being so good with the boys each and every time!”
“Thank you for sharing this picture Larry! It was truly an incredible experience for my grandson and our family doing the photo shoot. It was an unforgettable and beautiful experience we will never forget!”
“This is a must-do!!! Larry Hersberger is an amazing storyteller and photographer. Caroline was 3 at the time. It is pure magic and a memory that will last forever 😍😍🤩🤩❤️❤️”
"Our family recently had the pleasure of working with Larry and his team.
From the very first phone call, to the delivery of our beautiful artwork, the meticulous detail, professionalism and overall passion for his work is unparalleled to anything that we have ever experienced.
He was able to create and capture timeless and unforgettable memories with our children that we will cherish forever. He handles even the most unpredictable moments with a relaxed and calming demeanor. Our son is special needs and Larry made him feel so relaxed. We cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about his work. We HIGHLY recommend his services and feel confident that you will cherish the memories that you make with him and your family."

“Let me say this! When our daughter told us she was thinking of doing this, we had absolutely no idea how magical and wonderful this would be. From the moment our granddaughter arrived, she was in awe! I have never known or heard of anything this incredible and magical. She didn’t want to leave. When the portrait and pictures and book and special gifts came, we were simply brought to tears! I cannot express enough how if you can do this, it truly will be something you will treasure forever and won’t regret it! I promise you there is nothing even close to this place! Not only this, but we have made lifelong friends with Larry Hersberger and Santa! We see them often and truly love them! They have become family to us!
So, here is my point! Do this for yourself and your children! I absolutely promise you will be amazed and glad you did! I am very thankful my daughter and granddaughter introduced us to this! “ Pat Hambright
“Since Helena has just a few months left of being an only child, we wanted to do something extra special for her. So we celebrated Christmas in July and headed to the Grandover Resort & Spa, a Wyndham Grand Hotel to work with the incredibly talented Larry Hersberger - Artist and his Masterpiece Christmas photography session.
It was beyond description - truly unforgettable and magical!! And brought tears of joy. Larry’s attention to detail is like no other. For my FL friends, you’re lucky because he is based in Tampa! For my NC friends, you have to patiently wait for Larry and Santa’s summer vacay visit each July.
Thank you Larry Hersberger - Artist for keeping the magic alive and capturing a child’s wonder forever! Can’t wait to see all the other photos!!!” Stephanie Berzinski
“Working with Larry and Ela was magical from the start. From the moment my daughters’ received their golden tickets from Santa, I could see the excitement in their eyes. We drove to the “magic castle” to see Santa, and it was all giggles the entire car ride.
Upon arrival, they were a bit hesitant in disbelief that they were about to visit with Santa and be able to tell him their Christmas wishes!! My older daughter was on her best behavior…well, you know, “nice list”….my younger daughter cried from the start until it was time to eat cookies. Throughout the entire process, Larry and his team were patient, accommodating, and extremely professional. I must admit I had my doubts that I would have any decent pictures to hang in my house, given my little one’s behavior, however, I couldn’t have been more wrong!
he photos he was able to capture were beyond what I could have imagined! To recommend their work is an understatement, and I am thrilled to have a keepsake of their memories as a constant reminder of their awe and joy.” -Brook Carrigan
"Words cannot accurately describe the wonder and awe of Larry’s artwork. When I received our very first portraits, I was speechless. I couldn’t believe how vibrant and alive they looked! Somehow he captured my family in a timeless and classic, yet uniquely personal manner as he combed over every detail with brilliant intention. I have never seen anything like it. I have two portraits hanging in my kitchen for all to see, and everyone who walks in my house comments on them - they even step up close to see if they are “plugged in” and remark that they look like they are “turned on,” and add how incredible they are as their mouths gape. I can’t help but smile in utter agreement. It’s so much more than artwork. By using his remarkable gift and uncanny knack for fusing photography and art with color and light, Larry transforms ordinary portraits into magical masterpieces that transcend time. My portraits are priceless heirlooms that will be adored and appreciated for decades to come. I can’t thank Larry enough for the gift of his work and for willingly using his talents to captivate even the most accomplished artists". Tracie Stewart Rowe, High Point NC

What you created for my family is legacy art and I know when we are long gone, my grandkids and great grandkids will be enjoying these family heirlooms you created for us! We can’t thank you enough. I am excited to have original artwork featuring my family that you created for us along side original pieces of art I have collected over the years as well as created for myself. These will be a wonderful addition to my art collection in my home! Great experience!”

“My grandbabies got their letter and golden tickets and are over the moon, that they have an invitation to personally have milk and cookies with Santa while he is collecting drift wood in the Carolinas to build toys with. They called Nana so excited they couldn’t catch their breath to tell me all the details I will forever cherish that memory THANKS SO MUCH LARRY see you soon”
