On The Cover… Our front cover photo shoot took place at the beautiful Gateway Garden Center located at 7277 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin, DE 19707 (Phone 302-239-2727). We could not have asked for a better location to shoot our Home and Garden Business Profile. The backdrop of the garden center was like stepping in to Spring with all the beautiful garden ornaments, plants and fountains. Our profile participants come from Western Delaware County PA, New Castle County, Kent County and Sussex County, DE.
Hair and makeup were provided by J. Christian Studio, located at 7465 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin, DE 19707, 302-235-2306, and as always they outdid themselves in making our men and women look even more stunning than usual. Photography work was provided by Roy McDowell of Royal Photography (royalphotogde@aol.com), 3646 Silverside Road, Wilmington, DE 19810 (Phone 302-478-1809). Without both Roy and J. none of our photo shoots would be possible.
