The great Upper Peninsula

I went to the most beautiful place that I have seen in Michigan this week- Grand Marais. its a quaint little town with a population of only 400. There are no stop lights, and only one main road. It's located in the upper peninsula, along the Pictured Rocks National Shoreline on Superior Lake. Of course I brought along my camera, and although we didn;t even touch on most of the landmarks, we did get a chance to see some beautiful sites.

What's better than watching the sun set and playing in the sand with Good friends on a beautiful night? Nothin.

Munising Falls

Sable Dunes

Sable Falls

As soon as we got there, we took a stroll down to a pier. Apparently, at this very spot, some kids were playing on the pier during a storm or something, and got pulled in Lake Superior and drowned. Kind of scary! On this day though, it was calm and beautiful. So, I took the opportunity to pose my friends. LoL!

Flower Power

Not much to say about these. I never was really interested in nature pictures until I started experimenting. Now, every time I see a flower, I want to take pictures of it!





Yes, I really was laying on my belly in dirt to get this angle. Lol!

I randomly will be standing outside my parents house and the light will be just so that I can't help but get my camera out and starting shooting. I entered the last photo into our local newspaper website contest and I won 3rd place!

Baby Deion

This is baby Deion. I brought my camera to the hospital for a couple shots, the one on his belly for instance, he wasn't even 24 hours old yet! the rest were taken at 6 days. the little ham stayed awake for the majority of them!

backyard baby bath

These are my sons. I wanted to show how beautiful they are. I found this tin washtub in my in-laws backyard and set up an impromptu photo shoot.

At the Gardens

This was my first shoot outside. To date, its my best.

I shot these pictures of my friend's family at Dow Gardens in Midland, MI. They turned out amazing and the shoot went fabulous, other than when Ella, the 4 year old started giving me the cheesy fake smile. It kind of went down hill after that. Haha! but in all seriousness, I have to thank Kirstin for giving me the opportunity to capture her beautiful family. McKenzie (age almost 10) is now "the face of Treasured Still"
