Ted and Jennifer are located in Pasadena, Texas. Established in 1983, Penland Photography is a full service studio. Penland PinUps is a department of that studio, run like a seprate business. Ted and Jennifer, both having parents of a WWII era, have a common love of the vintage lifestyle and enjoy bringing the classic style to the modern day Pin-Up. Their Pin-Up style is more traditional, like Vargas and Elvgren, but with a flair for the alternative, occasionally. Their Pin-Up image have been published in CupCake Quarterly and Delicious Dolls, as well as many other.
Creating the Classic Pin-Up from start to finish. Learn all the elements that make up a true Vintage-style Pin-Up including: Wardrobe MUAH/Props,Posing We will also talk about how we take the image from the camera to the finished product.

Fellowship Submission The submission deadline for Fellowship is Monday, November 23 at Midnight. We would recommend that you start gathering your list now but wait until after the November meeting to submit, so you can be sure and receive credit for attending the last event before the cutoff date. This Submission Form can be found under Members Only, Fellowship Information, Fellowship Points Submission. For a full breakdown of Fellowship Points, be sure and take a look at the document on the PPGH website under Fellowship Information. Hopefully, you have been documenting your Fellowship points throughout the year, but if life has gotten in the way, here are a few tips to help you compile your points. Want to know how many meetings and workshops you attended for the year? Login to the PPGH website and click on View Profile in the upper, right hand corner, then click on Invoices and Payments. You will discover a nice, neat list of everything you attended. How easy is that! Hint: It’s always a good idea to register for the events on line to help keep track of your points. Committee Chairs you will be contacted for a list of your committee members who served for at least 6 months out of the year, for verification that members served on your committee.
Student Members IMAGE COMPETITON
Calling all students! There are awards available during the monthly print competition for the Student Membership.
