A Dog Around Town... the word from JoeBuddy
Light up your loved one's eyes, NOT YOUR DOG, this Christmas with an amazing gift from Patterson Studio.
Each month, I do my best to illuminate my readers to some truths about this town... as I see them. Well, here's something people seem to struggle with every year.
This is the time of year we focus our efforts on thinking of others. This is the time when we are all trying to find the perfect gift to give those we love. Some gifts are temporary in nature. Some gifts lack sentimental value or meaning. Patterson Studio offers something that both carries immense sentimental value and will last.
If you haven't found that perfect gift, maybe you will find it at Patterson Studio. Their reputation speaks for itself, but if that wasn't enough, they guarantee all of their work. See what they can do for your family this holiday season. Call to schedule a free-no-obligation consultation for your family today.
Gift certificates available.

Pro Tips by Greg Patterson
The twinkle from Christmas lights are a reminder of the true LIGHT of the World. What better subject and ProTip than capturing beautiful lights this season?
First, you will most likely need a DSLR. You know that S mode (Av for Canon)? Set the camera there, and then start turning some of those dials (usually the one close to your right thumb or index finger.) Change that setting to 2" as in two seconds. What you will get is a 2 second exposure. If your camera moves, it will create some wonderful patterns of light streaks. If you want to capture the twinkle, then set your camera on a bag of dry beans or use a tripod. It's best if you also use your self timer so that during the start of the exposure, you don't move the camera.
If the image is too dark, then try 4 seconds or longer. Most cameras go all the way to 30 seconds now! If it's too light, then try less time.
Christmas lights are always a fun way to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Christ the King!
Merry Christmas, Greg

The Brister Family
What "So Worth It" is all about
We often use the phrase "So Worth It." This sentiment describes how we feel about what we do, as well as how we hope each client feels throughout the entire Patterson Experience. The Brister Family is a perfect example of what "So Worth It" is all about. Getting the family together is, as you can imagine, difficult. As with most families, busy schedules and distance keeps the family apart. When Mrs. Brister requested that the family come dressed and ready for their session, they came with smiles. The memories shared just during this experience will be long lived. When Mrs. Brister's family wall portrait was ready to be displayed in her home, unfortunately she was unable to hang it herself. So, when she asked if we could help, we were happy to assist. We delivered her portrait to her home and hung it on her wall just where she wanted it. I don't need to mention how appreciative she was. Her many kind words touched our hearts. From the first time we meet with a client to the time that their portrait is displayed in their home, we do our very best to ensure that each moment has been so worth it. "Greg Patterson recently did our family portrait, which included fifteen people. The portrait is beautiful and each person's expression is perfect. We are very pleased with the excellent job which Greg did with our portrait in his outdoor garden. All the colors are wonderful. Thanks Greg for this family treasure. We thank you for making us look great!" -Jane BristerThe Bristers, like so many other families, see the value in quality family portraiture. Whether your family is just beginning, or it has grown to fifteen or more, taking time to capture these moments is an excellent investment. As professionals, we understand the vast differences in families' interests, desires, and needs. Each portrait session is catered to each particular family. Thank you Mrs. Brister for you kind words and expressions of appreciation. It has truly been our pleasure to be a part of this time in your family's lives.

Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine The outdoor magazine of Texas
Every once in a while the stars align and magic happens. This past September, that's exactly what happened when I received a phone call from Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine. With a long wish list in hand, they were in need of some awesome NACOGDOCHES photos to go along with a story "3 Days in the Field; Destination Nacogdoches." For the next few days, I could be seen in and around Nac capturing historic people and places like the Durst-Taylor House, Hotel Fredonia, and Lake Nacogdoches; gift shops; barber shops like Milford's; and scrumptious spots like Shelly's Bakery Cafe. I was honored and super excited when the magazine appeared on the news stands promoting our great town. Thanks Nacogdoches for being such a great place to live, work and raise our family!
