Betty Tillotson’s Dance Groups Were Here!
Posted by in May 19, 2011, under Uncategorized
It’s that time of year again! We have been invaded by sequins, feathers, and
glitter…and we love every minute. It is always so much fun to see Betty’s
dancers come to the studio. We get to see the new costumes and familiar faces
(some new faces too). With all of the excitement in getting everyone ready
for their photos, we get a little taste of what it might feel like backstage before
the performance. We want to thank them all for letting us share in this
experience again. Good luck girls!!!
New Gallery Images
Posted by in Apr 22, 2011, under Gallery, News
We have a new gallery display up for all of you art enthusiasts. Marla Craven, a longtime
friend of Paul, is our current artist on display. She tries “to distill the essential elements
that (she) wants the view to see and to feel about (her) chosen subject”. All of the images
displayed in the gallery were photographed while in San Miguel Mexico. The colors are
bright and very cheerful. This is an exhibit you need to see in person. Drop by to have
a peek. You just might want one to take home for brightening up your days.
Regional Photography Competition
Posted by in Apr 13, 2011, under Gallery, News, Pawtraits, Portrait, Wedding
This was a very good year for everyone at VanDeusen Photography! We all competed
at the state and regional levels for the Professional Photographer’s of America. The
highlights were…Paul was named Photographer of the Year at both the regional and
state level, he received a score of 100 on his image “Winter’s Embrace”, Lori received
the last merit needed for her Master Photographer designation, Lori and I swept
regional and state with wedding images winning First Place and Second Place at both levels,
and all three of us were in the Top Ten Photographers for the entire state of Missouri.
Whew! What a great time we had. Thank you to all of our customers. Without
subjects who are willing to try something a little out of the box and the
support of our friends, wewouldn’t be where we are now.

This year marks a major milestone for Betty Tillotson.
It is her 60th year for the dance studio. Congratulations
Betty! You do such a wonderful job and your students
love you. This is our favorite time of year because we
get to photograph the dancers in costume. It’s great to see
the girls and how much they grow from year to year.
We will be at the recital on June 19th, taking photos
and enjoying the show. Break a leg, girls!

Jena and David
Posted by in May 28, 2010, under Wedding
Congratulations David and Jena!! You are such a sweet and happy couple!
We really enjoyed spending the day with you, your family, and your friends.
All of the details were perfect, from the dress which came from Nolte’s,
the flowers from Blue Bouquet, the cake from Cheri Elder, to the beautiful
Lutheran Church of the Resurrection. It also helped that Mother Nature was
on your side because she did not let it rain on your parade! We had a great
time taking photos around town! The President Hotel is beautiful and it was
a great choice for your reception. We wish you nothing but happiness!

Models in Wichita
Posted by in May 19, 2010, under News
A little while ago I went to Wichita, Kansas along with a friend of mine to photograph
models. What would this mild mid-west Kansas town come up with?
Well the models were fab! For the town, it turned out to be a great place for unique
backgrounds, the old trainstation, grain silo, and their “old town”.
The weekend was out of the world! To let all know, I do model portfolios and
composites, plus fashion shoots. Soon these models and others will be on my
personal website… PaulFMcMillianPhotography or you can reach me at
the VanDeusen Photography website. Enjoy…I did. Paul
