These guys!! I got to play with these two dolls for a while the other night at one of the park service properties over in Glen Arbor. The brains of children always crack me up! Presley asked who’s house we were at. “Uncle Sam’s house”, I exclaimed. The exchange from there made me chuckle. “Who is Uncle Sam?” “The man who takes our taxes, that’s why we get to use his house.” “Why does he take our money?” I figured to let it be a that point. Funny stuff though!
What a crew! These two fun families had their summer vacation together at The Homestead in Glen Arbor.
Kim and Nick had a fantastic day atop the Homestead’s Bay Mountain. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, perfect weather, and abundant smiles, they had a flawless wedding.
Jessica and Mike had a wonderful day for a wedding at the Homestead in Glen Arbor. They had a beautiful mountain top ceremony performed by their brother-in-law. Jessica’s dad cried as he walked his daughter down the aisle. I just love it when true emotion shows through in a day. Her reception room was dressed to the nines and they were graced with a glorious Lake Michigan sunset to round out their day.
This giant group of great folks came together from all over the country to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa. I love seeing cousins and far-away siblings come together and enjoy each other like they have never had time apart.
Summer vacation at The Homestead means toes in the sand! This wonderful family had the resort beach to themselves for an evening on their summer vacation. The water was still a little chilly, but it sure feels good anyway!
Megan and Steve were married at the Homestead in Glen Arbor on a beautiful sunny summer day. Her color choices were great for the season. And they had a gorgeous sunset to end their evening!
Andrew and Nichole were married at the Glen Lake Reformed Church in Glen Arbor and then hosted a reception at The Homestead. We had made great plans about where we were going to go for photos that included the beach, Inspiration Point, the Narrows, and a few other local gems, BUT a few weeks before the wedding, Nichole broke her ankle. I was so incredibly bummed out for her, knowing that we would have to tone back our plans quite a bit. But it all worked out just fine! We chose the marina on Crystal River and just made use of the parking lot at the church. We had lovely weather for a Michigan February so that made getting around much easier than I had expected. And with the amazing positive attitude that this woman has (as well as a supportive man with the patience of a saint) , we still made it to the beach!
Stay tuned for an “I can walk again” shoot some time after the next 6-8 weeks!
This was a perfect Glen Arbor day for a wedding with Kenny & Kristin and their two lovely children. Her choice of pale pink was stunning with the table and chair detail in Camp Firefly lodge at the Homestead.
This couple had a beauty about them that went far beyond their physical selves. These two were truly beautiful in soul, spirit, kindness, and their love.
