I’m a real fan of the playfulness in Charlevoix Stone (favosite) fossils, the patterns flow over the stones much like the waves of Lake Michigan that tumbles them smooth. This stunning stone is set in a sleek and sturdy setting, and is available on my website.

Handmade in my Northern Michigan studio in recycled precious metals, naturally one of a kind. ...

🌿 More from the camera roll: I spotted this gorgeous entrance from a distance, through an alleyway in downtown Charlevoix, Michigan. The flower boxes are on point, too. 🌿 #bloomfloraldesign ...

Summer solstice has come and gone. Bucket lists are in full swing and weekends that have been a year in the making with friends and family are well underway. Just remember, don’t forget to pause, soak it all in and intentionally spend some time in a no wake zone.
Our midwestern habits tend to squeeze so much into these warmer months that summer can feel like it’s slipping away just as it begins but look how beautiful it is when you seek slow moments. Some of our favorite NoMi activities to ground ourselves in the season are watching boats come in, walking the shore for stones, lunch in Penn Park, browsing mcleanandeakin for summer reads (PS Where The Crawdads Sing!?!-still getting chills from the ending), sitting in the Rose Garden staffordshospitality watching the kids play on a Sunday evening after the town settles from the weekend. We’d love to hear how you slow summer?#seekingslow #whatmattersmost #summer19 ...

This is one of the "mushroom houses" designed by local architect Earl Young in Charlevoix, Michigan. This one is named the "Half House" and dates from 1947. I love them all! ...

I ❤️ fall drives! I was crawling along the lakeshore drive at Fisherman’s Island, and came to a hard stop when I noticed the leaves occasionally lining up into this red-edged heart. Sometimes a perfect situation presents itself if you happen to have an eye out for it! ...

Hi hello, it’s Steph! Figured I haven’t shown my face around here in a minute so I wanted to welcome our new followers💛 Glad you’re here!

A ~little bit about me~ would probably consist of my love for quality time with people, a good bottle of red, yoga, traveling, & of course, chick fil a. I have spent so much time outside hiking/running/exploring during quarantine & have loved every second. Being active & prioritizing these things helps to keep me creative & feeling good, which is so so important! Photography is a very significant part of my life, not only because it’s my job but also because it’s an outlet in which I can communicate and share my perspective of the world with others. I absolutely love being a wedding photographer because I get to bring your vision to reality & build relationships with people during one of the best seasons of their life. So, with that being said, don’t be shy! I’d love to meet you & talk all things wedding if you’re recently engaged and new to all of this.

2020 has been nothing short of an adventure & sometimes adventures don’t always go our way - but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still exciting! Glass half full, right? Our team is here to cheer you on, walk alongside you through the planning process & do our best to accommodate you where we can. I love our couples so much & I can’t wait to meet some of you soon!!

Happy holidays, folks! Where are you all celebrating at in Michigan? photo credit: lindzjoy1188 #charlevoixmichigan#lighthouse#greatlakes#michigan#puremichigan#northernmichigan#ice#winter ...

The theme of our trip to Michigan this week is “odd lodging” or L’odd’ging, if you will. 🏡 The coastal city of Charlevoix is home to several historic mushroom style houses both big and small. We spent the evening in an original mushroom house that has been renovated and reimagined - complete with several cozy fireplaces and enough beds to sleep up to 14 people. 💙The hobbit-style home was designed by famous architect Earl Young in 1918 and boasts a thatch roof that was made in Europe before it was sent straight to the US to be installed here. 🌿 It might not have been Middle Earth but it sure felt like the closest we could get to it in real life!

Look back and be grateful, look ahead and be hopeful, look around and be helpful.💫 ...

It’s taken about a month for DC temperatures to cool down to around the temperatures when I left Michigan about a month ago. Trying to relish all these beautiful outdoor moments while I can 🌿 ...

Giving a shout out to my 500th follower erichlw1 😀 I’ve joined the quincentenary club! I admit I had to look that word up! 🤣 One of those little milestones being new to Instagram, less than a year now.
It’s been a fun experience and I appreciate my followers, their kind and interesting comments, and of course those he have chosen to collect work. It’s been enjoyable and inspiring to have a venue of sorts to immediately share my work with the public as it’s created and not necessarily have to wait for a show,event or gallery opening. It’s also given me the opportunity to show my commission work which for obvious reasons is only seen by a select few.
I’ve also enjoyed staying in touch with and seeing the current work of artists friends I sometimes might not see for months or a year. Hi to them 👋
Thank you to all the new people I’ve connected with and the folks that have followed my career for years and I promise to keep thinking up new ideas!🖼🎨 Chandler’s 30x40”.
