Petoskey Family Beach Photos

These family photos at a gorgeous beach in Petoskey are some of my absolute favorites! Shooting in new locations gives me life, energy and so much joy especially when they are photos of a wedding friend. This beautiful family belongs to Shelby of The Day’s Design who is a crazy talented florist in Northern Michigan.

I have SO many favorites!
