One great afternoon in Nacogdoches on a not so rainy afternoon
Written by Cindy Patterson on April 29th, 2015
HALPIN 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. The Halpins came, as many do, to SFA to further their studies. In fact, both Michael and April were students of Greg’s in the Communications Dept. They asked Greg to [click title to read more ;)]
The Hiccup in My Brain Here's a little drivel to go with your shovel
Written by Cindy Patterson on February 25th, 2015
I woke up this morning different. As always with me in February, I begin to get a little moody. I’ve always blamed it on the lack of sunshine or of being outside less often. If I don’t watch myself, I begin to care less about the things that are important to me; I begin just passing [click title to read more ;)]
Nothing off the chopping block What I learned from Bill Murray
Written by Cindy Patterson on January 29th, 2015I began running today. I’ve run plenty of other times, in fact most of my life I’ve run for recreation and leisure, but I had taken a hiatus. I run for so many reasons. Because my pants feel tight, because I feel blue or maybe I feel “blah.” I run when I feel a little [click title to read more ;)]

Written by Cindy Patterson on January 21st, 2015Instead of setting some goals for myself this year, I decided to take stock of my life. With everything I do, I ask myself why am I doing this? What is my main motivation?

This pic says it all! Children photos can be WACKY but they're SO WORTH IT!
Written by Daryl Sparks on August 11th, 2014
We 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 ;)]
To Photoshop or Not to Photoshop?
Written by Cindy Patterson on August 8th, 2014That is not really the question. In today’s society, we all do a little tweaking with our pictures. With the ability to change and enhance at our fingertips, it’s hard not to. We’ve been engineered to like beauty; our eyes are drawn to it. Companies plan their ad campaigns based on it. Beautiful ads sell! [click title to read more ;)]
A Good Day What I'd like to say to the seniors…if they were listening
Written by Cindy Patterson on July 23rd, 2014
It’s that time of year that we begin seeing high school seniors for their yearbook pictures. For Nacogdoches, it’s the velvet drape for girls and for boys, a tuxedo shirt and jacket. For some of them it’s the first time they’ve had professional pictures taken. For all of them, their senior year marks the end [click title to read more ;)]

Written by Daryl Sparks on June 20th, 2014
Summers 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 ;)]
