wedding albums {new portfolio}

Jan 27, 2010

I recently heard another photographer say “It is not only our job to make beautiful images for our clients, but to also guide them through to the end of the experience… the end being the final destination for the photography.” When properly done, an album will tell your story. You can pull it off a...

Jill - art + memories + something you can touch = WOW

Brianna Phelan - The album is beautiful. Great job (:

Marianne Lozano - looks great Alice!

laure - Love, love, love this album!

Cathy - My wedding album is the BEST money I spent for my wedding. Fifteen years later, we still take it out and look at it. The kids are fascinated by it too.

Beth - The quality of the album paper and binding is wonderful, combined with your design and gorgeous images, its divine!

Noelle - This is fabulous – I love how the images are not constrained to one page. And the double page spread – it reminds me of Life magazine – uber professional and memorable…..

valentines inspiration from {julia child}

Jan 9, 2010

Last fall I went to see the film Julie & Julia, which I thoroughly enjoyed. First off, I think Meryl Streep is the most amazing actress ever! I saw her perform in a play at UCLA a few years back. It was a very civilized audience, but I wanted to jump up and down like...

winter semi formal {photo party}

Dec 22, 2009

I’ve added a new “photo booth” service as an a la carte option for my 2010 clients. It’s brand new service, so we thought we would try it out last weekend. My niece invited her friends over to my house for a little pre-dance photo party, before they headed out for a great night at...

introducing my amazing sister {and new studio manager!}

Nov 11, 2009

I’ve been in business for myself for about fifteen years… give or take. Throughout all of those years, I’ve been the girl wearing ALL of the hats… photographer (that is my favorite one), marketer, accountant, errand girl, editor, etc. If you have ever been in business for yourself, you know there are A LOT of...

Jan Harrison Riedl - The pictures are wonderful. My cousin Beth looks just like she did 20 years ago.

John Wohlfeil - Good to meet you in New Orleans – wasn’t that city amazing? I’ll be in touch.

Amy - Nice shots and great team! Congrats to you both!!!
ABP, Chicago

Beth - Thanks for the awesome introduction :) . I am so excited to be working with you! You have amazing skills as a photographer and with me working on some of the other things, you’ll be able to concentrate on the things you’re best at! Like you always say, “Two Pattersons are better than one!” (Of course usually we’re just trying to open the ketchup bottle).

Anonymous - It looks like you guys will make a great team!

I couldn’t be happier with the turn out of our first ever CNY PUG (Pictage User Group) meeting! Seriously, it was a great night, and there are so many people to thank! First, and most importantly, a BIG OL’ THANKS to the amazing Justin and Mary Marantz for such an in depth and truly beneficial...

Kyla Giles - Alice, Thank you sooo much for hosting such a wonderful evening! We truly enjoyed ourselves and you can bet that we were chattering away the whole ride home, full of new ideas and inspiration! Thanks for opening up your beautiful home to us and thanks to Justin & Mary for a phenomenal presentation. It was wonderful to meet and network with other fantastic area photographers. Oh, and I agree with Beth that the Spider Holster is way cool! Keep us updated on the next PUG meetings, if the weather cooperates we’d be happy to make the drive again!

Meghan Thomas - What an exciting night! I am so grateful for the work that you have done to get us, our own PUG! I love that we have so many talented professionals in our backyard and now we can actually utilize that!
Thanks!!

Alice - Thank you so much!

Bob Kaussner - Hi Alice!,

Just a short message to thank you once again for your excellent hospitality, and truly great first Central New York PUG meeting at your house Wednesday evening. Although I’ve been a Pictage Pro member of several years, I’ve been feeling disappointed not having a PUG in our area (the closest one being four hours away in NYC). Now I don’t need to be disappointed anymore since the PUG meeting that you hosted and ran so beautifully was fabulous. I now look forward to continuing the tradition that you’ve begun of networking with other talented photographers and sharing the wealth of one-another’s experience, vision, and common passion of photography. Thank you once again for a great first PUG meeting!

Marianne Miles - Thanks so-o much for hosting a great meeting! I enjoyed all the speakers – who were exceptional – and meeting the other photographers. I am back to work with a renewed spirit and belief in what I’m doing. Thanks again. See you next month-
Marianne

Beth - Justin and Mary are awesome! Their presentation was very inspirational! Shai’s spider holster is way cool! It seemed like everyone enjoyed the meeting :)

October 6th is a big day/night for me. I’ve been counting down to it. Why? Well, it’s very exciting… As a longtime member of the Pictage community, I am so happy to announce that I have started a local Pictage User Group (aka PUG) in Central New York. If you are not familiar with Pictage,...

I’ve been a longtime lover of my iphone! So I was so excited when I created a cute little icon for my blog readers, that are also iphone users. It’s a fun way to keep up to date with my blog. Check it out… First go to my blog, on your iphone safari, at www.alicegpattersonphotography.com ...

Fola - thank you so much… will be trying it soon…

Jeremy - Man, this is pretty slick! This may expose my inner geek, but I like how it’s got a mobile phone css layout so I don’t have to scroll all over the page. I just have to figure out if there’s a way to view the slideshow pictures without flash… :P

alice - Fola, I see that you have a ProPhoto blog too… they are the best! Go to your upload panel, and scroll down and you’ll see a place to upload your iPhone webclip icon. Note, the are specific instructions on sizing. Super fun and easy, once you get your icon designed and sized properly. Love those iPhones and ProPhoto Blogs.

Fola - ok this is way too cool… how did you create the iphone application? You must be some kind of genius…tips and pointers please…

Wishful in Virginia - I wish my service provider had the iphone…..

Giovanni Mercado - Great feature! I wish I had an i-phone. When I get the new generation in the fall i’ll add it to my phone.

Is it my imagination or kids becoming more and more amazing with each new generation? Della is a such a smart, funny, and talented 14 year old! In addition to being an avid reader, young author, viola player, I think we can add modeling to her list of talents. Capturing these fun lifestyle portraits was...

Besso and Giovanni - Great pictures Della and Alice! Della you are so wonderfully unique and fun and I just want to hang out with you. I loved that Vetiver song as well. Keep going!!!!

Nanci - Alice, you know how to capture the beauty in people. Della looks very sweet and pretty. This is another example of your artistry and professional skill.

Grandma - What a great photo shoot. The beautiful essence of Della was captured by Alice’s photographs. I think they are a great team – as model and photographer – they should be in Teen Vogue.

alice - Thank you! She is much fun and beautiful too!

Della’s Auntie - This rocks! What a great slide show – - and smashing photos of a smashing gal!!!! I’m totally impressed!

I love checking the mailbox, even though it is usually just bills waiting on me, to bring them in and out of the cold. The occasional magazine always makes me happy, but when I get a package… look out! I’m like a kid on Christmas morning. Everything is on hold until that package is opened....

It is difficult to take the time to keep my portfolios updated with current work. That is why I’m so thrilled to have designed a sample album from a recent wedding. I won’t actually receive the finished product for a couple of months. I’m so excited, however, that I couldn’t wait to share the cover...
