Saturday was such a special day, because we got to celebrate the love of Linda & Craig on the beach at The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Technically this was a wedding vow renewal ceremony, as they've been married for a couple years, but this was the big celebration they'd been planning!

Babies and Blossoms
Once a year for a couple weeks in May, the cherry blossoms in Traverse City open up to reveal beautiful white flowers that will soon turn into our famous fruit. We have our usual favorite photo spots, but when the blossoms are poppin', you can almost always find us in a Northern Michigan orchard.
