First 2010 Senior!

Congratulations to Jamie, the first Classic Gallery 2010 senior to have her order completed and delivered!

Jamie is in Fort Jackson, South Carolina for nine weeks of boot camp for the Army National Guard! Since she will be gone until a few days before school starts, Jamie had her senior portraits taken in May. One less thing to check off her list in this very busy summer!

Best of luck to Jamie! Go get em girl!

GLIP is gone

I hugged all of my photographer friends good bye yesterday and now I am ready to get back to a more "normal" routine. It was a great week of sharing and learning and working with the best models. The models are looking forward to seeing their images from the best photographers in the world!

The instructors say over and over that we have the best models of all! They teach at several schools all over the country and do not get the models like we provide them at GLIP. Our models come from all over. Michael's daughter and her boyfriend came from Ohio, Morgan and Wesley came from the Grand Rapids area and the others are our clients from Traverse City.

If you Facebook, ask to be my friend, then go to the GLIP sumo wrestling video. I laughed hysterically when I watched it live, then laughed all over again when I saw the video. The instructors are also great entertainers!

Back to work for me!

What a week!

I keep thinking that I will slow down. It is not happening! I am going faster!!!

This week, Michael and I were in charge of obtaining models for Great Lakes Institute of Photography. It is a school for professional photographers, held at NMC, taught by the best photographers in the country. Each instructor needs models to teach the students, so we were able to provide over fifty models! It has been a busy week!

Michael is now in Muskegon for Miss Michigan, so I will finish out the week for GLIP, then I will be off to the Farmers Markets.

I have had a great time this week, but look forward to slowing down next week!
