"Our family portrait session was relaxed and lots of fun. The variety of ways Greg had us pose to get the right personality stood out. Greg obviously cares about what he's doing and likes people. You won't be disappointed - Well worth the investment."
"I can't begin to express my appreciation for all that you provided for our family photo. From the very beginning of this adventure, you gave me your full attention to what would help make everyone feel at ease. Your outstanding people skills provided us with an A+ morning."
"Our family pictures are gorgeous and we were so surprised as we could not believe how many good pictures we had to choose from. It can be so hard to photograph 3 kids under the age of 5. The pictures were amazing!"
"Every session has been very professional, fun for my daughter, and most productive. Greg is wonderful, patient, so good with kids. My daughter can be rather shy but she always warms up to Greg. And I love seeing the final product. The pictures are always very high quality. My friends and family are just blown away by the backgrounds, fun poses, great expressions, and (again) the quality of the photos. If you want amazing pictures of your children and family, THIS is the studio to choose."
"I recently took my kids to a photo shoot at your {beautiful} studio for one of your special events. I honestly thought it was going to be a one shot picture and you get what you get kind of deal. Man, was I wrong! Y’all spent about 20 minutes with my babies working to get the best shot. I am highly impressed with the quality of the pictures we got, as well as the quality of the time spent. I will defiantly consider future shoots in y’all’s studio! Thank you for hosting us and capturing the best!"
"Everyone who has seen my pictures loves them. We're really excited to do our little boy's newborn pics this week. And my husband, who hates taking pictures, wants to come back in the spring for family photos. Now that says something!"
"My children have been photographed by Greg Patterson for the past 10 years. He always does an amazing job, and each time I feel like it is more and more difficult to narrow down the photos. I cherish the memories he helps to capture in time."
"The portraits of my daughter were perfect. We are so proud of all the work they did. We had a great experience with the whole House of Photography Crew before, during and after. Worth every penny."
"We are in love with our portraits! The studio has a comfortable waiting area which is especially nice when you have a four month old. The staff is energetic and work hard to make sure they get great expressions. We have enjoyed each experience and can’t for the next!"

Our studio was located in the historic Victorian home built for Albert A. Nelson in 1898. The home has seen many changes and owners over the past 100 plus years. It was designed by Diedrich Rulfs, who designed more than 50 homes, churches and buildings in Nacogdoches from the 1880s until the 1920s. Many are listed as Texas Historical Landmarks or National Register Landmarks. We have recently moved out of this space but still maintain the property. Our new location is close and reserved for scheduled appointments.
House of Photography boasts the only portrait garden in all of Deep East Texas. With greenery and colorful blooms year round, our garden includes a beautiful country gazebo, quaint pond complete with waterfall, rock flower beds, arbors, pergola, rock and stone paths.
We often hear clients say that they are utterly amazed at the variety of looks we can achieve from within our garden. This East Texas secret treasure is shared with our friends at The Cottage Restaurant.
