The Higginsville Country Fair Princess Pageant- Miss Photogenic Session Deadline has passed- Unfortunately for some, the summer flew by and missed out on the opportunity.

As a parent myself- I am sure one of the best parts of this portion of the Higginsville Princess Pageant is the Professional Portrait session with the lovely dresses and the Complimentary 8x10 Portrait Print.

Although we are unable to extend the deadline for Miss Photogenic Entries-- we do have an offer for those of you who missed out--

Through September 2 - A+ Photo will offer a Pageant Style Session- that is up to 30 min Portrait Session with up to 2 outfits and an 8x10 Portrait for $50. Please understand--These will NOT be eligible for the Miss Photogenic Competition. As the children are back in school and schedules begin to fill up with assorted Fall activities - Please call as soon as possible to book your session. 660-909-8030

Entries for the Higginsville Country Fair Princess Pageant may be submitted through Sept 1, 2010 - entry forms may be picked up at the Higginsville Chamber Office

And Remember Mom's - as "Queen of your Own Life" - your daughter's are automatically a Princess! The Princess Pageant's purpose is to select a Princess to Represent the Ladies and Gentleman of Higginsville for the 2010-2011 season at various events. Good Luck to you All!

Miss Photogenic Sessions for Higginsville Princess Pageant 2010

Higginsville Princess Pageant! Photogenic Sessions are the week before school starts- booking quickly. Call for your Glamorous Session!

I totally LUV these sessions!! My Pageant Position-Keep it fun! Just make it about the getting dressed up, hair n make-up, accessories--the fun stuff- not about winning. At photo session they each get to wear a crown- since they ARE ALL Princesses (you’re the Queen Right?-that makes your daughter the Princess Right?)- Just maybe not the one chosen to Represent Higg at events during year ;) that's how I choose... to see it anyhow!

BONUS- Queen's come dressed up w/ your Princess and we'll take a few pics of u both!!!
