Sunflower season! 🌻 One of my favorite August rituals is to take a mini weeknight road-trip over to Rock, Michigan to visit the sunflower field at Fall Farms. So stunning. They only last a few weeks… so it’s similar to tulip season, lilacs in bloom or fall colors popping off, when you hear they’ve hit peak, you run! An easy road-trip, only about an hour from Marquette, it’s well worth the trip.

The east facing cliffs of Presque Isle. You can access this spot via car when the drive is open, and if you park along the side just beyond where the lookout/boardwalk view is, you’ll find a tiny path, that’ll take you right to this spot. Stunning. Vast views of Lake Superior, the Presque Isle Breakwater Lighthouse, cliffs, and if you head there early enough, a sunrise view.

I headed over to the east side of the Upper Peninsula to capture some content for a video I’m working on, and it was a lovely excuse to spend an evening in Paradise and make my way up to Whitefish Point. I stayed at the Paradise Lakefront Lodge, walked over to dinner at The Inn, drank blackberry wine and ate wings, got their famous carrot cake to-go. Relaxed on the balcony with a view of Lake Superior, took a drive up to Whitefish Point to snap photos, windows down and music up on the way home, some of my favorite kind of moments.

What if… we tried some quick outfit shots?! Like 4-6 photos. A little quick post that doesn’t requite a ton of time commitment. It was nice on this night actually… I finished a full work day, worked on the program for Fresh Coast Film Festival, ate dinner at home, worked on my 15th blogiverary post, walked around the neighborhood quick, shot a few photos by Thill’s Fish House, went home, and still had time to… start a new show and catch up with some friends. A pretty OK solo evening.

In celebration of my 15th blogiversary, here's a new outfit post, paying homage to my first post with gray and finding a railroad track here in Marquette! On September 3, 2009, I took my first "outfit shots" on the tracks near my apartment in Grand Haven after discovering fashion blogs. What started as a fun, personal project led me on an amazing journey. I'm so grateful for the experience!
