Summertime & Seniors

This is going to be a special senior season at VWP.  That's because our daughter, Emily, is a senior at Petal High school this year.  I have to admit that it causes a lump in my throat to know that this is our year for a Senior.  Emily's first session was during our recent vacation to St. Maarten.  I guess there may be more beautiful places on earth, but this is definitely at the top of the list!  

As always, I urge seniors to have their portraits taken early and don't procrastinate.  Depending on the school attended, senior portrait deadlines may be as early as October 1st.

Call now to reserve your special Senior Portrait session and don't forget to ask about our Senior Special on Oil Portraits.

Have a great summer!

They're here!

The wildflowers are in bloom!  Right now we have a mixture of white daisies and yellow tickseed.  I can never tell how long they will remain, since the weather is so unpredictable.  Call and book your wildflower appointment!  The best time of day for these flowers is late afternoon.

3 Days of Kids & Bunnies!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our annual Easter Portrait Special.  It was a fantastic success!  There's nothing like  real bunnies to bring smiles to little faces.  The bunnies were very cooperative and have gone to a great home.  Some of my favorite images are the ones that truly tell the story of our life photographing kids!

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.
