Nicole {Mackinac Island & Northern MI Senior Portrait Photography}

I've known Nicole since she was 6 years old, so it was a ton of fun to be doing her Senior Portraits. Nicole has been a Girl Scout since elementary school, and has been a part of the Governor's Honor Guard - which gives her the opportunity to spend a week on Mackinac Island - since the summer before her 8th Grade year of School, so it was no surprise that she wanted her Senior Portraits taken on the island.

We started out staying close to the Barracks where the girls stay, and then ventured out to explore some of the hidden gems, and eventually to some of the more popular places on the island. I told her that the next time I have a portrait shoot on the island, that she was going to have to come with me as my guide, because she had found some pretty awesome spots!

After we all got off the island, we spent the rest of the weekend shooting around here. At one point we were shooting near an old building right along the street, and everyone who passed by waved or said hi to us. Nicole is from a medium sized town near a larger city in Mid Michigan, so this wasn't something she was accustomed to. I told her it was because she looked so awesome in her prom dress!

When we finished with photos in her prom dress, I rewarded Nicole with a Slurpee... although she didn't particularly care for the idea of going into 7-11 in her prom dress!

Thanks Nicole for putting up with all of my posing, playing and embarrassing you. I hope you'll agree that it was all worth it!
