Michigan Renaissance Festival | Jackson, MI Photographer

If you remember from last year (2011 post), I LOVE the Michigan Renaissance Festival that goes on annually in Holly, MI. The sights, sounds, and smells are a sensory overload! There's so much to do there and all kinds of fun performances to watch. This year we sat and watched a man balance a bench on his chin, the Ded Bob Sho (I definitely recommend this one if you're going to go. And get there early, he always has a full house), and lastly the jousting. The food they have is so savory and rich; my favorites are the turkey drumsticks and ginormous pickles they have. The drumsticks are so huge, I had left overs for lunch the next day!

I couldn't decide which version I liked better of this man, but I'm leaning toward the b&w. Every year I go, I see him and never have had the courage to ask permission for his portrait. This year, I did, and I'm so glad because his presence and the effort he puts into his appearance at the festival is just astounding.

Vacation in Denver

I just got back from my mini vacation in Denver and had an absolute blast!! I kept a travel blog so if anyone is interested in checking out some of the photos from my trip feel free to hop on over there.

The Emerald Isle

I just want to keep everyone updated, yes I'm still here, just kind of the slow season for me, but I took a vacation last week to Ireland and had the time of my life. It's definitely as gorgeous as the pictures you see. If you want to read about my trip here's the link to my travel blog. And I leave you with a photo of a rainbow over the Giants Causeway. I swear Ireland's magical!

The West Coast

Went out west to take in the gorgeous landscapes out there. It was nice to take a break and breath some fresh mountain air.
