I don't remember the last time I saw myself in a photo that wasn't a selfie 🫣
Thank you Sarah Michals Photography + Design for getting me in front of the lens!
And thank you to The Northstar Saga for giving me a great reason to get fancy 💃

I have two tickets available for anyone interested in attending The Northbound Premiere this Saturday at The Braumart.
If you could help me get the word out by sharing this, it would mean a lot. Just let me know when you do, and I’ll DM the winner tomorrow on where to pick up your tickets.
I've been reflecting on the past year and a half about being on set during the final stretch of a film 5 years in the making. What began as the inception of a concept in the creative mind of Seth Anderson back in Los Angeles resulted in returning home to Michigan. The next 5 years would be dedicated to a grassroots filmmaking project now known as Northbound.

The innovation and adaptability it took to make this project a reality is nothing short of amazing. Whether huddled around space heaters in the dead of winter or the curveball that was the pandemic mid-way through a long journey, the tenacity and courage it took to overcome obstacles and persevere is a powerful reminder of what it truly takes to make a dream a reality.

The irony of making a post-apocalyptic film is that it resulted in the creation of a family of creatives who dedicated hundreds of hours of time and effort to make this vision a reality, scene by scene, season by season.

Being a part of this project has been a transformative experience, both professionally and personally. Working with the incredibly talented Director of Photography, Michael Johns, has been a catalyst in my development as both a photographer and a creative.

To the mastermind behind The Northstar Saga, Seth Anderson, Writer and Director: a lifetime of thank you's to you for welcoming me on set and into the Northbound family, as well as your generosity and enthusiasm as my mentor. I look forward to a future of creating alongside both of you and the rest of the team.

Seeing Northbound come to fruition has been incredibly rewarding. The support from our community has affirmed the hard work and passion invested by the entire team. Here’s to the next chapter.

Meet Chris and Alex.

During our session, they shared the story of their first date, where they braved a snowstorm to meet for coffee. As Alex enjoyed a book at the café, Chris was diligently shoveling out his car (not once, but twice) - which consequently resulted in a second shower.

Alex could have chosen to leave, but she was content reading her book while she waited. Chris could have easily asked to reschedule given the bad weather, but he was determined to get to that coffee shop.

Her patience and his persistence speak volumes about the type of parents they will be to little Beck.

Congratulations, you two. Beck is incredibly fortunate to have you as parents, and I can't wait to watch him grow.

I love when I find clients who are just as adventurous as I am. When Kellie reached out about Mika’s senior portraits, they already had their hearts set on the Keweenaw Peninsula. With family ties to the area and countless childhood memories, it just made sense.

We kicked off our five-hour adventure meeting in Lake Linden and made our way south to Jacobsville. After soaking in one of the last beach days of the year, we headed north to Cliff Drive Outlook. If you haven’t been there before, there’s a good reason for it. A big shoutout to the Davis’s and their Wrangler - I don't think we could’ve reached the location without it, and the views were absolutely stunning.
Now I'm seriously considering joining the Jeep family — partly for off-roading to new locations, but mostly for the cute rubber ducks

We continued north towards Eagle River (Michigan's version), where I tried my best to mime instructions to Mika over the sound of rapids and waterfalls, but more than likely embarrassed myself in front of the other tourists. We then stopped at Eagle Harbor Lighthouse, where some spots reminded me of New England coast towns, while others felt straight out of the Pacific NW. The U.P.'s ability to surprise me with new beauty and hidden treasures will never cease to amaze me; I’m so grateful to be able to create in this place and call it home.

We wrapped up with a relaxing blue hour on Copper Harbor's rocky shores. Note to self: invest in water shoes next time. After we finished the session, Brian met up with me (and brought me cheese because he’s a very smart man and knew I needed snacks), and we stopped at Brickside Brewery for a pint before going to The Mariner North for dinner - being serenaded by some surprisingly great karaoke, including a rendition of 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,' was just... *yooper chef's kiss.*

Already planning to make this an annual trek. If anyone else is up for a photo adventure, just know that you’d be supporting a local photographer’s dream of one day owning a Jeep.

Sometimes making connections behind the camera also means piggy-back rides after barefoot berry-picking 🫐
My reason #906 to love what I do.
