North Lake, Michigan

Image
This is North Lake in Michigan, just east of South Haven. It's its own haven to me. I love city life...truly do...but sometimes this is the sort of place I need. And not like a few days each year or so, but a few days each month...or week. If heaven was this when I looked one direction, and a beautiful city of all sorts of folks living in harmony in the other, that'd be about perfect for me.

Ophelia

Ophelia is the daughter of Jessica and Jeremy Martin-Weber, dear friends of ours. She's a ballet dance with some excellent credits to her name, and I've had the opportunity to make pictures with her in Chicago, Orlando, Tampa, and on a trip to India where Jess, Jeremy, Ophelia, and I went with several other artists. This particular photo was taken when Brooke and I picked up Ophelia on her day off during a two week dance intensive training she was doing in Tampa. It's one of the photos I edited from that day shooting, but I don't think I've ever published anywhere before now. As I scrolled through the images, it caught my eye because Ophelia looks so powerful in it. Her face conveys the strength she has within, and her pose shows the physical strength which has given her a leg up (pun intended) as she's progressed through her young career.
