Michigan's Upper Peninsula 2025

September 20, 2025

Landscapes, Pictured Rocks

There’s a certain magic to the eastern Upper Peninsula when the trees first begin to blush with autumn. The maples flirt with crimson, the birches whisper in gold, and the pines stand steady, as if amused by all the fuss. Along quiet backroads, the air sharpens, crisp, but still carrying a hint of summer’s warmth and each bend seems to reveal a secret: a lighthouse keeping silent watch, a hidden cove bright with reflection, a ribbon of highway running through a living watercolor. It’s a place where time loosens its grip, where you can wander between Lake Superior’s restless waves and the hushed trails of cedar and tamarack, caught in the playful pause between seasons.

About Me

Photography started as a creative outlet for me and quickly grew into something much deeper. It morphed into a way of noticing and honoring the beauty that surrounds us. From local landmarks and hidden corners of Michigan to travels abroad, I’m always chasing light, atmosphere, and those fleeting details that make a moment unforgettable. My hope is that my work doesn’t just show you what I saw, but also how it felt to stand there.
