SENIORS!!!

Most of you have noticed the sign in our studio that says "Please don't let your procrastination become our emergency."  Well, that applies mostly to our senior portrait clients.  Senior year is packed full from start to finish with "things to do".  But, please don't delay ordering your senior portraits!   You will want to have them in plenty of time for invitation mailouts and graduation.  Please allow us a minimum of 3 weeks to prepare and complete your order.  We recommend that all senior portrait orders be placed by April 1st at the latest!

Cowgirl Hall of Fame

As I write this, Vaughn is on his way home from another trip to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  I am very proud to say that he has been commissioned, once again, to create paintings for the 2010 inductees to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame and Museum.  The names of this year's inductees have not been released yet, but they are sure to be very interesting and notable ladies.  As soon as we learn more, I'll post it. 

Vaughn's Book

We've just set up a new website that tells about Vaughn's new book, "Tell Me About That Horse".  The book is at the editor's and in the design process right now.  We hope to have it available by March or April.  If you would like to read more about it, go to http://www.tellmeaboutthathorse.com/

EASTER PORTRAITS!

I can't believe that we're talking about Easter Portraits!  We just got through Christmas and New Year's!  However, Easter is very early this year, so we have set the dates for our annual Easter Portrait Special.  Yep, with live bunnies.    Mark your calendar for March 1st, 2nd, & 3rd.    Appointments are required.

There will be a $10.00 session fee.  This fee will be donated to the Hattiesburg Junior Auxillary to support their many projects benefitting children in our area.  I am proud to be a member of JA and cannot say enough about the charitable work that this organization supports. 

We are taking appointments now....so, book early for best times.
Here are some favorites from last year.

Thanks Jamie!

Hopefully some people still read newspapers.  If so, you might have read the terrific article in the Hattiesburg American about Vaughn's paintings and other projects.  Jamie O'Quinn wrote the article and did a fabulous job of condensing a ton of information into an interesting and easy to read piece.  Thanks Jamie!

Paintings at the Nutcracker

The Pine Belt Ballet performed their annual production of the "Nutcracker" this past weekend.  It was wonderful as always.  Yvonne Bergeron was gracious enough to invite Vaughn to display his paintings at the Performing Arts Center.  These paintings featured an array of dancers in various styles.  Dancers are always beautiful subjects and such fun to paint.  Many thanks to Hilary Bounds, our model, for this beautiful painting.

My New Year's Resolution

My New Year's resolution concerning this business is to do a better job of updating this blog!  I think about it alot....just don't get down to actually writing.   We hope that all of our friends had a wonderful and joyous Christmas.  Hopefully, this economy won't get any worse and we will all see better days ahead.  Our daughter, Emily, will be a senior next year with college looming in her future.  So, retirement is definitely out of the question for Vaughn and me.  We'll be here for all of your photography needs.
