Empire Mi//Things to Do//Photos

Franklin and his family love Empire, MI.

 The things they love to do are going to the beach, visiting sleeping bear dunes, eating out, exploring the shops.

They even named their dog Empire!

So it made perfect sense to take Franklin’s senior photos there.

Some right on Front Street!

Full disclosure, a few years ago I had the privilege of photographing Franklin’s sister’s senior portraits too. :)

Franklin is excited to be going into design with the automotive industry.

“Empire” the dog is such a delight!

Franklin was easy going and open to sharing ideas.

We headed over to Empire beach for sunset. It was sprinkling but it cleared for a stunning evening.
