Behind The Cover

We recently took over Williams Street in Crystal Lake to shoot the September cover for McHenry County Magazine!

It was such an amazing experience! This is our fashion edition, and Downtown Crystal Lake was the perfect backdrop for our photo. We had Pollyanna Falk with Dobbe Marketing & PR stroll down the sidewalk holding shopping bags and my dog, Emma.

Emma did very well for her first photo shoot, and she even let us dress her up in a sweater and jeweled collar. She looked adorable, and Pollyanna looked stunning!

It was very hot outside, and Pollyanna was a great sport — toting Emma and walking up and down Williams Street at least 50 times. Emma was a trooper, too.

I’m so excited for this cover — not only as a proud “pet mom,” but also because it was a true team effort to make it happen.

Thank you to Pollyanna; Lasting Impression in Crystal Lake for doing a beautiful job on Pollyanna’s hair and makeup; Reeses Barkery & Pawtique in McHenry for Emma’s clothes; and our amazing photographer Dave Shields. This wouldn’t have been possible without their patience, support and expertise.

Check out our September cover, and be sure to look for the magazine when it hits the streets Aug. 25. Thanks for reading!
