Ahhhh, lilac season in Marquette. Swoon city! What a beautiful sign that summer is here. I’ve been running down the bike path along the lakeshore recently… and always slow my pace down to pass one of these and just take a giant whiff. 😆 But this is one of my favorite times of the year… I mean, fall is forever my favorite, but this is a close second. Just those transitional seasons are the best. Beach vibes and lilacs!? Yes, please.
Read MoreMy favorite spring tradition! 🌷 I love visiting the tulip fields in Holland, Michigan. This is my 16th year taking photos here! It’s just so magical every year. Elliot and I made the stop here on our way down to Illinois for his sister’s college graduation, and I’m so glad we made the trip. We really lucked out with driving right into the parking lot of Windmill Island Gardens and finding a parking spot right near the entrance. We were in and out basically, snapped our photos, helped a few others snap theirs lol, and then hit the road! Next time maybe I’d stick around longer, but not for Tulip Time. 😂
Read MoreOne of my favorite trees to visit when I’m in West Michigan in May! (This is at the Monet Garden little pocket park in downtown Muskegon.) I usually come down every time this year, because the Upper Peninsula is slow to bloom and see spring… but everything is in full bloom downstate! I absolutely love coming to downtown Muskegon. Just… the history! The architecture! Things to do! This little park! It’s truly just such a cool downtown. But yeah, an annual must-see for me is this tree. It’s just so pretty! 🌸
Read MoreLove a wintry moment at the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse! Elliot and I took a little weekend getaway to the Keweenaw last weekend, not knowing we were heading into an epic snowstorm, oof, but… we made it there and back alive! We had a great weekend overall, stayed in Eagle River, got to see the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse, have some delicious cocktails and food, and spend a little time in Houghton grabbing breakfast and coffee, checking out a shop, and snapping a photo in front of the lift bridge before heading home to Marquette! ❄️
Read MoreTwo winter posts in a weeeeek!? Who is she! I wasn’t actually planning on blogging, but it helps when you have fun winter adventures with your photog boyfriend who is so freaking good at taking photos, so here we are! It was super sunny out yesterday, still in the 20s, but… I knew we had to get out for a little bit to enjoy some winter scenery. So we headed out to Wetmore Landing to take a little walk through the woods and out to Lake Superior! It’s really wonderful to be having a legit winter this year.
Read MoreI always love an ice-skating moment at the Ore Dock when Lake Superior freezes over! Conditions have been pretty ideal this year for it to happen. Subzero temperatures and not a lot of snow the last couple of days, which is exactly what we need! As soon as I saw people out there, I was like, it’s on! Thankfully Elliot had an extra pair of hockey skates I fit into… literally saved the day, so we got out there and skated around for a bit, ran into photog friends, and it was so funnnnn. ⛸️🧊
