EXPLORE BY BOAT
Two centuries ago, when the governor of the Michigan Territory stopped at Mackinac Island on an expedition, his team was struck by the variety and delicacy of the fish – especially the rich flavor of the whitefish. Charter fishing boats that operate in the Straits of Mackinac find that to be true still today. But even if you’re not a fisherman, you can still get out on the water and enjoy the beauty of Mackinac Island from lake level in a kayak, sailboat or a sunset cruise under the Mackinac Bridge. Or, if you’re a thrill seeker, get up high above the water and go parasailing.

This week's Society6 designs are definitely for the Mackinac Island obsessed! While Mackinac Island photos made up my Society6 designs all throughout January, these are the only two photos that truly SCREAM Mackinac Island.
Both designs are similar but with very different vibes. They are both of the downtown area and they were both taken while the island was asleep. Downtown Mackinac Island (1) has a velvety sky you could wrap yourself up in while feeling peace and comfort. Downtown Mackinac Island (2) is a little more edgy, making room for feelings of curiosity and maybe even a little danger. 😏
Links to both can be found in my bio or stories! Let me know below which vibe is your favorite. ✨

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. 🥹
Beautiful bridesmaids in blue - definitely not a color I come across frequently as a photographer, but was complimentary to the bride and this blue sky day! 🍃
