The Cottage 2020: A Personal Family Film from Lake Michigan
As a family, we can’t recommend enough the joy and relaxation that comes with renting a cottage by the lake. Every summer, it becomes our favorite getaway. The peacefulness of being close to nature, away from everything, and the time spent with loved ones is irreplaceable. This particular year, right before school started back up, felt even more special. It was our chance to almost forget about the chaos of 2020 and soak in moments of pure bliss.
The Cottage Escape - Our Lake Michigan Retreat
When I look back at the memories from this trip, there are little things I always notice: Ben’s voice, now deeper than ever; Rocco’s infectious giggle; and Jonah’s...well, Jonah being Jonah. At that age, everything he does is either new, funny, sweet, or silly, and it’s a treasure to witness.
This trip was just what we needed. As I watched these moments unfold, I couldn't help but feel incredibly lucky to have this job where I get to capture the most precious and genuine moments of family life. Our cottage trip brought us together in ways I can’t quite put into words, and I’ll always treasure these videos and images.
Vacation Films & Family Moments
In 2019, I had the privilege of joining several other families for vacation films, and I truly hope that 2021 will allow me to work with more of you. Whether it’s your family cottage, your favorite camping spot, or a getaway to Lake Michigan, I’d love to be there to capture those special memories. I will be offering some discounts this winter, so stay tuned for more details.
The Beauty of Family Time
There’s something about getting away from it all—away from the day-to-day grind and distractions—that makes family time so much sweeter. From early mornings by the lake to long days filled with adventures, our time at the cottage was exactly what we needed. Whether it was fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying the sunset, it was a week of joy, connection, and deep relaxation.
As you watch this film, I hope you’ll see the love and warmth that fills each frame. These moments, though simple, are the ones that last. And as always, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to capture these stories. It’s not just about taking pictures; it’s about preserving these fleeting moments for generations to come.
Enjoy one of my favorite films ever!
