I wanted to put up a year in review post about this time, but that is a big job and I might not get to it. Thinking back over the last year I’m so thankful for the amazing weddings I was able to shoot and the wonderful people I’ve met, but most of all I am thankful for my family and the precious time we get to spend together. It seems appropriate at the year’s end to share a bit of what personally makes me happiest. Our somewhat annual trip to our cabin on Glen Lake in northern Michigan is my favorite thing. Here are a few snapshots of how we spent our time this last summer – dune jumping at Sleeping Bear, sand castle competitions, cherry wine and s’mores, cousin senior photo sessions, celebrating two birthday girls, my aunt and uncle slow dancing on the deck at sunset, polishing petoskey’s and loving each other a lot.
