๐ธ Autumn Family Photos - Mackinac Island 2025
My family and I try to go to Mackinac Island every couple of years for the Labor Day weekend. It's a place we all love. For 3 days, we enjoy ferry rides, waves lapping the rocky shoreline, bike and horse rides, the smell of fudge and the general feeling of island living where there aren't any cars.
Mackinac Island 2025 was wonderful with sunny skies and perfect temps all 3 days. It was also perfect for some family sessions. Family and friends wanted a mini shoot by the water so I scouted out a location in the morning and staggered the times for the families to arrive for their shoot. I shot 3 families and even got one of my entire family which I haven't done since my granddaughter was 4 months old. Also, I did a headshot shoot for my son-in-law who wanted photos with water in the background. So altogether we had 4 shoots and one entire family photo done within 1.5 hours.
I talked to the families a month before and sent them clothing color combinations to help coordinate their family look. With Lake Huron as a beautiful blue backdrop and cloudless blue skies, and a rocky landscape we captured some family photos at a place we love.
