Summer Wanderings

This summer (as is the new usual) Michael Newsted and I went off on an adventure around Northern Michigan. We were on assignment to gather images for Clyde Oak, and write a story for Hello Mr. Magazine, but we did manage a few detours.

Michigan is really the most fabulous place to spend the summer. It is the perfect climate for beaches and bonfires, for sailing and for cozy, rainy days. When I am in Paris or Chicago I am content- until it gets warm. In the Summer  I crave bare feet, running through the forest, and swimming at least twice a day. 

Traveling with Michael is fantastic, because he brings such a positive energy to everything he does. Everyone is his friend. Every new place is a blank map ready for exploration. Every day is filled with picnics, and music. 

This post features a behind-the-scenes look at our shenanigans off set. It also highlights a few aspects that make Michigan Summer wanderings so delightful.
