Presque Isle Lighthouses | Up North, Michigan

It's October in Michigan which means it's time to get our butts Up North to enjoy the autumn colors!!! We stayed a couple nights in Atlanta, Michigan hoping to see some elk - it's supposed to be the elk capital of Michigan, but we struck out. The highlight of the weekend was our car ride across M-32 to Alpena, which has the nicest Big Boy I've ever been in by-the-way, and up the Lake Huron coast to the Presque Isle Lighthouses. We had heard that the old lighthouse was haunted so we wanted to check it out for ourselves.

The old 19th century lighthouse. This one was an easy climb!

The HAUNTED lighthouse cabin.



The more "modern" lighthouse.


This one took some sweat to climb up, but it was well worth it. I think we picked the perfect week to come, the views of Lake Huron and the fall colors were breathtaking.

New Wedding and Portrait Photography Website! | It's finally here!

The new Left Shoe Photography wedding and portrait photography website is finally LIVE and I'm thrilled to be able to finally share it with all of you! We've uploaded some of our most recent pictures from weddings we have photographed around the state of Michigan. Please check it out when you have a chance - I designed it entirely myself and it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but I'm so happy with how it turned out....hopefully you'll all agree! I was a little apprehensive when I first decided to tackle this beast myself since I hadn't done any HTML coding since I was an undergrad at the University of Michigan, but surprisingly it came back pretty easily. Also, I'll be adding a FLASH component shortly to sparkle up the slide shows, so it's still a work in progress. Some of the things that I've added that I'm really happy with:

1) A new client link (up on top) for direct logins to session images.
2) The new wedding photography and portrait pages for portfolio viewing.
3) The About Us page - I finally included some of my personal images.
4) Recommended vendors - I'll be adding these shortly after I finish compiling.
5) The new logo!


Here's a screen shot from the homepage that I took using Paparazzi!:
