Father's Day

What does Dad want for Father's Day?

I am blessed to have four wonderful kids at home. Last year for Father's Day my wife took the kids to our Woodlands studio and had a portrait taken of our kids. Laura and her team did a great job! She had the studio turn this photo into a watercolor portrait that hangs above our fireplace.

It may be too late to have a watercolor portrait done for Father's Day this year--so what do you get Dad?

If he doesn't already have one, how about a "point and shoot" digital camera? I have found that the key to having a great digital camera is to get one that you will actually carry with you. I prefer the smaller models by Sony or Nikon--that will fit into your pocket. The quality is exceptional, and because it is so small, it is conveniant to take to our kid's events--which means we are taking more photos. Although I have larger "SLR" digital cameras, it is the small "point and shoot" camera that I almost always pick up when I head out the door.

One other GREAT use for today's "point and shoot" cameras--video! Instead of carrying around our old video camera, we use our "point and shoot" camera for all our family video. The quality is great. We play the video on our 42 inch television--I am impressed with how good it looks--and because it is digital, the quality will not deteriorate over time like our old VHS tapes. The upload is also easy--transferring the video to your home computer the same time you transfer your images.

I would be happy to answer any questions.

Happy Father's Day!
