While perusing new book titles on Amazon I saw one that caught my attention. What could a book titled “The End of Absence” be about? I wondered. The first thing I thought of was that the opposite of absent is present, right? So, was this another self-improvement book about how to stay present? I didn’t need [click title to read more ;)]

It’s always sunny in Nacogdoches…We have to say goodbye to a longtime friend and co-worker today. We hired him within a year of moving into the renovated frat house, and he’s become just as valuable to us as our moving into a new location was ten years ago.

Summertime is wedding season!  We’ve had so many walk-ins and phone calls from brides and mother’s of the bride during the past few months, it seems like everyone is in love and getting married. There are love stories to unfold… and then be told… and retold. The photographer’s story is not so much a love [click title to read more ;)]

Let me start by saying our studio has the greatest clients!  And this quick story is just one out of the MANY that helps tell why I feel that way: I simply did what the client asked me to do.  I put forth my best effort to create the perfect product, all the while offering [click title to read more ;)]

Daniel, Class of 2010 I was remembering and maybe reminiscing a bit to when a photograph was a product of the darkroom.
