Wonderful family beach portraits

We photographed the most wonderful family on Saturday night!

Patty's children surprised her by coming to Traverse City for the
weekend (they live all over the country),
then scheduling a family portrait on one of her favorite beaches!

We were at Good Harbor Beach on a gorgeous evening.
The clouds were perfect, the beach was quiet and the children were so much fun!

I will post images soon.

Baths and ducks and Saskatoon berries

What adventures we have had for the past three days.

On Saturday and Sunday, the studio got a bath! It looks so shiny now!

Yesterday, Michael saw a duck in the road by our driveway. He already had a broken leg, but he must have been hit by a car and he was hurt even more. He let us put him in a milk crate to rest for awhile. We thought he was beyond repair, but a few hours later, he rallied back to life. We put him in the creek and off he swam, one leg strong! It was a happy ending...

Last night, Michael picked up eight Saskatoon berry trees. If you do not know what a Saskatoon berry is, go on line and check it out! They are so interesting! Michael is so excited to become a Saskatoon berry farmer (in his spare time)!

Hello blog

It's been months since I have blogged. Must be that I have been up to my eyeballs with way too many projects.

If you have driven past the studio, you will see that it is for sale. We are shopping for property, so selling the studio property will give us the down payment that is required for a larger piece of land. Once this sells, we will let everyone know where Classic Gallery (and a new venture - so exciting!) will live.

Lots of cleaning and sorting is happening here!
