Destination Senior | Boyne City, MI - Lavender Hill Farm & Lake Michigan
Aurora and her mom, Amanda, had been planning their senior portrait session with me for darn near a year! They knew they wanted a lavender farm but weren’t sure exactly where.
When they brought up Lavender Hill Farm in Boyne City, Michigan, they asked if it was too far. I immediately googled the location and answererd promptly, heck no! It’s gorgeous and we can totally do an overnight trip. That is exactly what we ended up doing!
Mid July rolled around and we made our way 3 hours North to Boyne City where we were greeted with the cutest charming town. We then walked down to a small boardwalk near a yacht club, dodging duck poop with every step.
In the days before the session, Aurora and her mom shopped at Altar’d State for a majority of her outfits, and every single one of the dresses suited her perfectly.
Once we were done with downtown, we made our way to Lavender Hill Farm, about a 15 minute drive. As we arrived, we noticed some dark skies heading our way so we made sure to hustle through the fields, but of course we had to keep stopping to smell the beautiful blooms!
I cannot even begin to tell you how in love I am with these lavender field photos! I could have just stood here all dang evening and been 1000% content. Truly, Aurora could too. She was in heaven! Even amongst the bees, we were entranced. (and I hate things that sting!! lol)
Once again, this dress – Altar’d State! Freaking gorgeous. She looked like Cinderella in the French countryside!
After Aurora did a quick change into a more casual fit, the clouds were getting tumultuous, and we began getting anxious about making it to our third location still dry!
No sooner had we packed up and hit reverse to leave, the skies opened like floodgates and we were pelted with big, heavy raindrops.
As we pulled into our final destination, we were conversing that we may have to hold off on Lake Michigan photos until morning. But far off on the horizon, we saw GOLDEN SUN!
We held off a few more minutes as the last few dark clouds rolled over us, then unpacked and headed down to the beach. You guys, I can not EVEN with the skies. So gorgeous and dramatic. Every way we turned, we had a different feel to an image.
So I’m going to shut up now and let you check out the rest of the stunning images from Aurora’s senior session.
Remember, if you would like to book a senior session for yourself and don’t want them in Jackson, let’s chat! I’m more than willing to travel for your picture perfect session!
