Muskallonge Lake State Park, Upper Peninsula, Michigan // Steven & Jessica Anniversary

Muskallonge Lake State Park, Upper Peninsula, Michigan // Steven & Jessica Anniversary

Steven and Jessica went to college with my husband and me and we have all been able to see each other occasionally since graduation, but not for a while. Over a couple of Google+ Hangout calls we tossed around the idea that we should go camping together. Then recently we took off for a camp site on the small strip of land between Muskallonge Lake (musk-uh-lawn-j; crazy name but beautiful place!) and Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was my husband and my first time visiting the UP! Steven and Jessica made it a great first trip. :)

Steven and Jessica are two of the most down-to-earth and caring people. They deeply love each other and their absolutely adorable little boy. Seriously, SO adorable! But this session focuses on just the two of them (the little one didn't join us on our camping trip). We had such a great time adventuring through the area, first to Muskallonge Lake and then took a short walk over to Lake Superior. You better believe we took a few breaks to dip our feet in the water, collect rocks in the hopes of finding some agates (This area is supposed to produce really good ones! We didn't really know what we were looking for, however. haha), and to sit on the beach and enjoy the sunset.

The perfect weather, the way Steven can make Jessica laugh, and a beautiful location made for some amazing portraits. I am so excited to be sharing these with you now. Enjoy! (I mean, I sure enjoy them. I need to stop staring at them so I can get more done around here! haha)
