Oil Spill Update - May 7, 2010 4:30 p.m.Before you cancel your vacation, please keep in mind that the national news media is always going to make a situation like this seem worse than it really is. So please talk to LOCAL people and get the REAL story before making your decision. You can find some very helpful information by going to http://GulfShores.com (The Alabama Gulf Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau website) Here is a statement from the Alabama Department of Public Health.... The Alabama Department of Public Health and Alabama Department of Environmental Management stated Wednesday that there is no foreseeable need to close beaches and, short of a drastic change, they have no plans to do so. Oil Spill Update - May 6, 2010 6:30 p.m.NOAA is still saying that the Alabama Gulf Coast will not see any impact from the oil spill for AT LEAST 72 hours (their predictions only go out 72 hours) Our beaches are still beautiful! It's going to be a great weekend in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, so come on down and relax on our beaches! The picture below was taken Wednesday May 5th just before sunset: Oil Spill Update - May 4, 2010 8:20 p.m.Like everyone along the Gulf Coast, we are monitoring the clean-up of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. There currently is no impact from the oil spill on the beaches of Gulf Shores & Orange Beach and, according to NOAA forecasts, no shoreline impact is expected for at least 72 hours. Officials are optimistic that any impact on our beaches can potentially be cleaned effectively and fairly quickly. National, state and local response teams are deployed at sites along the coast to deal with local effects. Please check back for updated information. New Year, New NameRon Wainscott Photography began in 2004 with one guy and a camera. By 2009, I was having to turn away potential customers because it was not possible for one photographer to work with all of the families who were contacting me. Since I don't like to say "no", I decided that it was time to hire another photography. So Jessica Latta started taking some of the overflow during the summer of '09. It turned out to be a busy summer for both of us! So this year, I'm adding even more photographers. With the addition of more photographers, I decided it was time for a name change. So Ron Wainscott Photography is now Shore Shooters Beach Photography. The name may be different, but the concept is still the same...the best prices on the Gulf Coast, the fastest turnaround time on print orders, and making sure every customer is happy and enjoys their beach portrait experience!
