Bah, humbug! When shopping becomes a chore
Written by Cindy Patterson on December 22nd, 2016It’s not that I don’t like the Christmas season, I’d rather focus on the Christmas reason, you know, the why we do all of this. I’ve had the Christmases that were perfect, with everyone unwrapping all that they asked for, the cooked-to-perfection meal for twenty, and the decorations that could make the spread in “Home and Gardens.” All [click title to read more ;)]

Micro Fashion Auditions Kids' Fashion Photography
Written by Cindy Patterson on March 1st, 2016What is Micro Fashion? It’s an idea that sprang out of a Brainstorming session at the studio a few months ago.

The art of being single-minded Okay, stay focused
Written by Cindy Patterson on February 3rd, 2016I’m a student of human behavior, especially when it’s a little peculiar. The people that intrigue me the most are those that are single-minded. I’m not talking about people who prefer to stay single. Nor, am I talking about people who have narrow views. I’m talking about a person that likes one thing so much, [click title to read more ;)]
Fall Fashion What to wear this fall for pictures
Written by Cindy Patterson on November 18th, 2015For those of us living in the south, fall means pumpkins, football and family time…much like anywhere else. But, what else we have that they don’t is moderate temperatures which are great for getting in touch with the outdoors once again.

One great afternoon in Nacogdoches on a not so rainy afternoon
Written by Cindy Patterson on April 29th, 2015HALPIN FAMILY-This weekend we met with two families we hadn’t seen for a few years. They’d each been a part of Nacogdoches for different reasons.

So, What Have We Lost?
Written by Cindy Patterson on August 28th, 2014While 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 ;)]
This pic says it all! Children photos can be WACKY but they're SO WORTH IT!
Written by Daryl Sparks on August 11th, 2014We had the great pleasure of seeing these two beautiful children come to the studio last week. Big Sister was very patient and perfectly well behaved. Little Brother, on the other hand, had something else in mind. Don’t get me wrong… He wasn’t misbehaved at all. He just was NOT interested in having photos taken. [click title to read more ;)]
Hey now! It’s not as bad as it sounds. Great quote about photographers
Written by Daryl Sparks on July 7th, 2014I love this quote. I wish I knew the author so I could compliment them on their wittiness. Truth be told, when you’re in the hands of a true professional, a photographer is anything but violent. If anything, a photographer, as well as the photo session, should be FUN, EXCITING, MEMORABLE … and above all [click title to read more ;)]
Nothin’ more East Texas than Watermelons Celebrating East Texan summer tradition
Written by Daryl Sparks on June 20th, 2014Summers in East Texas are typically hot and muggy, but you can’t stay cooped up inside all day. There’s too much fun to be had outside. Running through sprinklers, catching fireflies, going fishing, going swimming… And one other thing that comes to mind is eating watermelon! It’s a true East Texan tradition. I look forward [click title to read more ;)]
