Stohler-Reed Wedding Storybook Album

What an amazing couple!  It was our pleasure getting to know Spring and Charles. We were fortunate to meet Spring when she came in for engagement portraits, but we had to be patient and wait to meet the groom until the day before the wedding. Charles and Spring are an exceptional couple, and we are so happy to have been able to be a part of their special day.

We are super excited to give you a glimpse of their storybook album which showcases the wedding through our photography and album design.  It's such a joy to be a part of a couple's special day, and then have the privilege of telling their amazing story with one of our albums.  Enjoy!    ...... and let us know what you think

Introducing the "GrandScape!"

We are thrilled to introduce our latest creation... the "GrandScape." It's an 80" wide, masterfully designed and crafted work of art featuring your family. This one-of-a-kind piece of home decor will absolutely take your breath away. Hours can be spent pouring over every last detail. If you didn't know it was a portrait, you would think you could step right into the canvas as if through a window. There's that much vibrancy and detail.

As the name suggests, the GrandScape is specifically designed to showcase the grand nature of a landscape.  You might have family property that is near and dear to your heart, or you just might select any number of East Texas' beautiful landscapes or city-scapes. The example images we have shown depict families off in the distance, small in comparison to the entire image, however your portrait could be different. It could include your family, pets, horses, or it could simply be a beautiful landscape without any other subject matter. Remember, this piece of fine art portraiture is uniquely customized to your taste.    

You could display your family's GrandScape in your living room above a sofa or fireplace.  It fits well with modern and traditional styles alike.  Call our studio today to commission your very own GrandScape.

Catch us up!

To all of our blog followers, here are a few things we have been too busy to post over the past couple months.  We know it's important to keep our clients and followers informed on what's going on at the studio, so this post is to help catch you up.

We must have been very good in 2011 because Santa brought the Studio something very nice! A new 44" Printer. We already have so many incredible plans for this printer.  Stay tuned!

Last month we went to Lufkin to photograph Jimmy Stanaland... Brookshire Bros.' Lifetime Achievement Award Winner. It put a whole new meaning to the word "freeze-frame" as the commercial shoot needed to display their warehouse freezer. Luckily we didn't need to go into the Deep Freeze which was said to be 20° below. We were happy to stay in an area that was a balmy 20°F.

Kay & Paul-A Beautiful Millard's Crossing Wedding {Nacogdoches Photographer G Patterson Studio}

What a fun and beautiful wedding!  We had a great time getting to know Kay & Paul over the last few months. Kay and Paul came in for our engagement session and then Kay for her bridal session. With each image we captured we could see the strong relationship and love they have for each other. They really are the perfect couple with a fun and caring family. 

We are super excited to give you a glimpse of their storybook album which showcases the wedding through our photography and album design.  It's such a joy to be a part of a couple's special day, and then have the privilege of telling their amazing story with one of our albums.  Enjoy!    ...... and let us know what you think

Azalea Beauties! {G. Patterson Studio - Nacogdoches Children Photographer}

Due to our recent work with the schools and sports activities, I'm a little behind in posting some of the sessions we've done here at our studio over the past few weeks.  So this is just a teaser of these precious, precious photo sessions we were fortunate enough to capture.  There is more to come. But in the meantime, tell us what you think of our azalea beauties.

Stylin' Senior Session {G. Patterson - Senior Photographer}

Alfredo came in to our studio looking for something different and something amazing.  I happy to say we didn't disappoint.  Congratulations Alfredo on a great year and good luck as you move into the next stage of your life.

Here's a sample of Alfredo's images.  To all his friends, family, and fans, tell us what you think.  We want to hear from you.

Family Portrait Weekend {Family Portraits by G. Patterson Studio}

Dana and her wonderful family came in this past Saturday for one of our Family Portrait Weekends. She was so impressed with how amazing her images turned out, she kept apologizing for sounding so surprised. No worries Dana, we love it when our clients are blown away. Thanks for allowing us to take part in capturing these moments with your family. And congratulations on your upcoming "new addition."

A Look at our Newest Baby Albums! {Nacogdoches Baby Photographer}

Kathy has been such a good sport.  And why not?  She asked for something special, so we developed a new product catered to her needs.  Now that all the ground work is done, we are ready to start offering our new economy albums to our other clients.  Here are few of the spreads for these beautiful, lay flat, flush mounted ablums.  Give us a call if you are interested in having an heirloom quality, artistically designed keepsake of your precious son or daughter.

Fundraiser Auction recipients

Who was the first to think of having an auction to benefit a cause or organization? They are brilliant in our minds, because everyone's a winner...the cause that benefits from proceeds received from the auction, those that bid on products or services and win that bid, and those companies providing the products and services. Below, are a few of those that received the winning bid for a portrait session and wall portrait this last year. We're glad to provide our services for causes such as Boys and Girls Club and Heartbeat Pregnancy Center; it's just one way we give back to a community that's given to us.

Another Bundle of Joy! {G. Patterson Studio - Newborn Portraits}

There are few things that I enjoy more than photographing newborns.  If you can get them in by 2 weeks old, they are really fun to work with.  While you position them for the cutest poses you can imagine, they just stay asleep, offering up those precious expressions of squirminess, contentment, delight, and frustration.  I love it!  Remember to tread lightly when walking around though.  The slightest rumble or footstep can change the mood of the entire session.

Thank you Tina for an incredible photo session.  Your entire family is beautiful inside and out, and you truly make it a joy every time we see you.  Congratulations to the whole fam on your new addition!

The Soverns' Happy Expectations! {G. Patterson Studio - Maternity Portraits}

We were delighted to get a phone call from Kathy a few weeks ago about having her maternity portraits made.  The maternity session is one that Mothers miss out on all too often.  We hear repeatedly from our clients how they wished they had thought to have that special moment captured by quality portraiture.  But Kathy needed no reminding or prompting.  She knew she wanted this special moment remembered.

She brought her family with her to our studio for her planning consultation one week before her portrait session.  Her precious 2 year old daughter was a bit shy at first.  So we invited her to play in our playhouse, watch movies and play with all the toys she could stand while we spoke with Mom and Dad.  Well, that worked just as we planned.  The next week, during their session, there was absolutely no more shyness.  We were best of friends!

The session went so smoothly and we captured some amazing portraits.  Thanks Kathy and family for letting us be a part of this special time in your lives.  Good luck with your upcoming delivery! We will be thinking of you.

Merry Christmas from Greg Patterson and friends!

As another year ends and the holiday season continues, we reflect on the blessings we enjoyed.  Thank you for sharing your family's precious memories with us.  Warmest thoughts and best wishes for you and yours.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
