G Patterson Studio MicroFashion Photography

An idea that was born to the studio earlier this year has continued to spice things up in our mini model department. With the success of our Microfashion {Brick Streets} to kick off the series, we decided the Brick Streets edition was simply the beginning. Adorable kiddos are the heart of our portraits, while their personal style (or, personal styler) is brought to life through their unique portrayals of “microfashion.” From the tutus to the cowboys… The more variety, the better!

Its a newfound love, for us, to see just what these minis dress up in and how their little personalities glow through their portraits.

If you happened to miss the ’51 Chevy Microfashion sessions, fret not. We are planning another edition for September 1 & 2 with a Back2School theme. Check out more MicroFashion on our Facebook page and outfit ideas on our Pinterest board.

Custom Graduation Invitations

Right now, I am happily engaged in creating unique graduation invitations for our 2014 high school and college seniors.  Some are from senior sessions we did back in the summer or fall, and some are from sessions we just photographed.  Each invitation is made to order, from the selection of poses… to any particular verbiage… right down to the color scheme.  These are not your run of the mill type invites.  They are the right combination of bright and professional, vibrant and elegant.  No two look the same.  I enjoy designing these cards because it is as challenging as it is beautiful.  My task is to incorporate our client’s desires into an overall layout that works aesthetically and pragmatically.  It gets really interesting though when Mom and Dad do not see eye to eye with Senior.  But I have yet to hear any complaints after the final product is in their hands.

Recently I’ve run into several parents who have asked me if our studio is booked up with senior portrait sessions this spring.  I tell them that March is looking a little crazy, but it always does.  My advice to them is call as early as you can so that we will have the most availability and flexibility.  And if you are wanting those rockin’ awesome invitations that we are famous for, then call even earlier.  That graduation day clock is winding down.  The last thing I want is to turn someone away simply because we ran out of time.  So give the studio a call if you want senior portraits and products that will make sure you stand out from the crowd.

Signature Seniors

Graduating Seniors have filled a wall with written notes about their portrait sessions at G. Patterson Studio.

At the studio, we have a dressing room for our clients.  In that room, there is a wall where graduating seniors have written little notes about their sessions and signed their names.  Looking at this wall the other day got me thinking about the individuality of each of these seniors.  Every word is penned with its own particular handwriting. Each note has its own voice.  Every signature is unique and stylistic.  This hodgepodge of messages is a perfect representation of just how different each person is.  As we go throughout our busy lives, we shouldn’t forget our diversity and what personal characteristics make us who we are.  We should embrace them because it is our individuality that makes us so wonderfully special.

Whether it be for a high school senior, 6 month old baby, a brand new bride, or whatever, a portrait should exemplify what makes that person special.  Their interests, attitude and personality should shine through for all to appreciate.  We want to offer that to our clients.  We do offer that to our clients.  G. Patterson Studio helps bring out your inner “awesomeness” for others to see and enjoy.  At the studio, we have an expression for our seniors, “Show the world your true self.”  Let’s work together to make that thought a reality.  Hope to see you soon!
