We're Honored!

We are so honored that Vaughn has been commissioned by the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame and Museum in Ft. Worth, TX to create paintings of their 2009 inductees to the Hall of Fame.  Vaughn has just completed trips to Arizona, Texas, and Oklahoma to photograph these exceptional ladies and will now start working on their paintings.  The paintings will be unveiled at the induction ceremony on October 16th.

This year's inductees are Deborah Copenhaven Fellows, Kay Whittaker Young, and Cornelia Wadsworth Ritchie.  This year's Gloria Lupton Tennison Pioneer Award is awarded to former first lady, Laura Bush.  Needless to say, we are hoping to have the opportunity to meet Mrs. Bush.
 


For someone that loves Western heritage as much as Vaughn, this has been a dream assignment!

We're Blogging Now!

The last couple of months have been a real learning curve for this lady!  I wanted more control over our website and the ability to make immediate changes.  The natural direction was that I had to create our website and be my own webmaster.  Well....I'm still learning and will continue to change and update the site as I become more proficient with this process.

In the meantime, I welcome your input and comments on the new look. This blog will keep all of our clients updated on special events, portrait specials, and seasonal specials.  I will also be posting some of our favorite portraits from various sessions.  Kids are just so much fun and I love some of the expressions that we capture.  So, check in frequently and see if you  might recognize a familiar face!  Oh, be sure to sign our guestbook.
