So for some reason in the heart of this wedding season I decided it would be fun to start offering some island portrait specials. The coolest thing is that out of the woodwork I was getting calls from all sorts of cool people,
First Stacy and her adorable family that were on vacation here on Mackinac. Her two boys were so much fun… they were just running circles around me! I loved it. Its amazing what you can capture in a quick 20 minutes on the island coast.
Next, I get a call from Claire and her mother, that they will be on Mackinac in a few weeks. Claire is about to be a senior, and although she’s already had one batch of senior pictures taken, Mackinac is one of her favorite places on earth and would absolutely love to have some taken here. Now this family does it right, 2 nights staying downtown a few at the Grand Hotel. This way they get the full island experience. I planned for two separate photo shoots in order to document both sides of the island. I just love doing senior portraits.
Then finally, my long lost friend Heather from high school (hadn’t seen her in 15 years) shows up on the island with her family and tracked me down. It was awesome to get to catch up and photograph her family. Especially since she was around when I picked up my first camera.. . 7th grade, hot pink point and shoot (at least now I’m not cutting off the heads in the pics… well, unless it’s on purpose)
One little last thought to leave with you with for the weekend.. this morning, the blinding sun shining in my window woke me up .. although I didn’t appreciate nature’s alarm waking me two hours before my actual one went off… I did appreciate that this blinding light was that of a cloud’s silver lining… it made me stop and take moment and go ahhhhhh!! May you all be blinded by silver linings today… and not left in the shadows of clouds.
Love,
A
