A Dog Around Town...
the word from JoeBuddy

"To say that the U.S. has been experiencing some pretty crazy weather this year is quite the understatement. The east and west coasts have been breaking records for rainfall while the central part of the country has broken all kinds of records in the other direction with the worst drought in recorded history. With flooding in much of the South and East Coast, tornadoes in the Midwest, and wildfires in Texas, this has been a difficult year for our country. This provides us all with a great opportunity to show the goodness in our hearts. If there is relief you can offer to families that have lost their homes, there is no better time than now. Specifically, show your support for the hundreds of firefighters in Texas that are risking their lives to save others. Donate to your local fire departments as well as look for opportunities to provide these brave men and women with food and water as they fight these fierce wildfires.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with those who have suffered loss and to those who risk it all to protect others.

Congratulations to our Foto Frenzy Winners!

PhotoBooth:
Experience the Crazy Fun!

Are you looking for a new way to spice up your next sorority party, wedding, or corporate event?

Be silly. Be sassy. Be zany. We don't care. It's all about cutting loose and having fun! We're so proud to be the only studio in East Texas offering the PhotoBooth. It's a great way to generate excitement and remember your special event. The PhotoBooth works well for couples, but is large enough to accommodate groups of up to eight adults.

Props are available and definitely encouraged! Rent the booth for unlimited use at $695 for 3 hours. Each use takes 4 different images and prints them to a 4x6 right then. This little addition could really make your next event a great success!

Please call our studio today at (936) 569-7116 to check availability.

The Wow Factor

Have you experienced it yet?

We have been pushing the envelope lately by creating some seriously stylish portraits for our high school and college seniors, and the response we've been getting is "WOW!". We're so excited that our clients love these images and we're just busting to share them with others. I'm a little hesitant, however, to post just senior portraits within our newsletter due to the fact that they may not pertain to all of our family clients. But we have gotten so many responses to these portraits ranging from.... "my 15 yr old daughter wants to get into modeling and your senior portraits just blew me away" to "wow! can you do family portraits or engagement photos like that?" to "I want my baby portraits to have a bit of an edge like your senior portraits do."

So it seemed like a no-brainer to give you a quick sample since these senior portraits have appealed to so many of our family and children clients as well. We hope you thoroughly enjoy. And if you are interested in family or children portraits that have a bit of an edge or show off your family's style, look no further. Let us WOW you.

G. Patterson Studio & Haunted House

We're turning the studio into a real Haunted House for some Halloween fun for little kids

We're turning the studio into a Haunted House this year for Halloween! This will be a real haunted house designed with the younger kiddos in mind. They can expect some spooky (but not too scary) decorations, lots of Halloween candy and a fun festive photo to remember it all. Make sure to come dressed up in your Halloween costumes... you too parents. Guide your little ones through our Haunted House, pose them for a quick photo, then get some candy while your photo is being printed up. It should be a real treat for children and parents alike. Our efforts this year in giving the children a Happy Halloween is just one fun way for us to give back to the community. Hope to see you here!
