I thought... HECK, this is the perfect time to be a fudgie and show Janey the island. We biked all around, visited the Pink Pony, and EVEN ate fudge (still couldn't bring my self to buy a whole half pound (by the way do you have any idea how many calories are in a half pound of fudge.... you REALLY don't want to know).
Now do you know what the coolest thing was... I've been photographing the island for years (collecting for my book that will hopefully be put together after this upcoming winter ;)... BUT having another photo pro with me, TOTALLY inspired me to see the island in a different way.
May you all be inspired by those around you!!
Love,

The coolest thing, that I'm quite excited about, is that I met up with a few of the editors from Bridal Guide a couple times... they were SOOO incredibly nice. I really can't express how wonderful they were. AND.. they are going to be publishing me in not ONE... but TWO of their next issues. A few of my Mackinac images are going to be in the destination wedding guide out next week... and then one of my favorite weddings is going to be the featured wedding in their issue that comes out in November..
Along with my visit to the magaizine... I was also able to catch up with friends I hadn't seen in YEARS... who can beat a gorgeous sunny day, old friends, new friends, and a little photography along the way (and I really do mean a little... I was so busy chatting I didn't have time to shoot much... but here are a few!
Today is my last day in NY... off to the beach with the fam... pictures for sure will be taken of my adorable neice and nephew!
Have a beautiful Thursday!
Love,
A

Earlier this week I went into my friend Nicole's AMAZING store on Mackinac LITTLE LUXURIES of MACKINAC ... and I am soooo not exaggerating... its awesome... my new favorite place to buy the perfect gift for anyone... girls, guys, brides, mothers, and even your little dog too.
She even carries my favorite product line AMBRE along with tons of good quality lotions, candles, soaps, ... and some pretty darn cool postcards too (okay... they are mine... I'm a bit biased)... wink wink
Seriously if you are on the island you MUST check this place out...
AND MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! Labor Day weekend Sept 5th I am going to be having a show with all my favorite Mackinac photographs... so come by the store (more details to come)
Happy 4th of July everyone!!
May your weekend be filled with all sorts of great fireworks!!
Love,
A
I purchased a cute little apron from Lil' Lux. and love it! Andrew+I will have to come up for Labor Day for many reasons: 1) Bridge Walk 2) your show.
Take care!
(07.03.09 @ 04:55 PM)Honestly, this is one of the classiest little shops on the island, such cute stuff...
(07.04.09 @ 09:28 AM)Thank you so much for taking such beautiful photos of the shop! I appreciate your help and compliments :) Looking forward for our event in September!
(07.04.09 @ 11:13 AM)This is one of the cutest shops on Mackinac. I would come in there almost every week during the summer just to look around and see what is new. Got the perfect gifts for my mom before I left the island!
(08.22.11 @ 11:05 PM)A moment that will stay with me forever... definitely a highlight of my trip!
I am so jealous! You girls are so lucky :-) I have truly enjoyed every one of your pictures from this FABULOUS trip! Drink a glass of vino for me please!!! I look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures from your week in the south of France!
(06.18.09 @ 08:02 AM)Pheww... its been a whole 3 days.. no internet ... and I've been going stir crazy (I think I may have a slight addiction)... luckily I was able to steal a little wireless and a computer and hop on hear quickly just to post a few pics.
Saturday afternoon I was met at the Beziers train station by a car FULL (we're talking even the trunk) of some of my favorite Santa Barbara girls... we then drove through beautiful vineyards to our cute tiny little town called Puisserguier (btw none of us know how to pronounce it). Since then we've visited an extremely old Medievel town Minerve, went to an amazing market, and had some of the best food I've had in all my time in Europe (shhh... don't tell anyone else).
But the best part has been all the laughter... put 6 girls in a station wagon driving around the French countryside.. listening to HYSTERICAL french music... and having NO IDEA how to speak French and there's bound to be a lot of laughs.
One last thing... I have to mention... the gorgeous old aristicratic home with all the original antiques... imagine again the 6 of us with the run of the place... there's even its own private pub in the back of the center courtyard... words cannot explain how cool this place is.
Not sure if I'll be able to get back on here for a bit.. .the next tme you hear from me could be from France.. could be Spain... could be California... or could even be Mackinac!!
Wishing you all a week of sunshine, love and laughter!
Love,
A
