You're Invited to my Creator Community!

Aurora captured in northern Michigan, September 14-15, 2024.

Friends, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support through donations of coffee over the years! It is an honor and a dream to create more ways to help you experience the Aurora. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

You have funded lots of delicious coffee, helped me stay awake all night with you and the Aurora, funded a fast food meal when I didn't have time to eat, and when you have been too generous — I have paid some of the coffee back to my leadership team in donations to each one!

A Few Special Announcements!

• A BOOK OF YOUR PHOTOS! Did you know I'm publishing a book of YOUR AURORA PHOTOGRAPHY? The social media algorithms are crushing us, and I'm struggling to get the word out, but getting published in the book is free. Learn how to submit to the Shape of the Sky Book Project:

I've been eagerly watching for the next sure-thing when it comes to Northern Lights, hoping to announce a #LiveChase in 2026. We're approaching Solar Minimum though, so it could be tough. If we get the opportunity, I will shout it from the rooftops!

In the meantime, we have events to bring us together coming up in Charlevoix on August 1st, at Longway Planetarium on August 7th, and with Patrick Grubba's Cell Phone Camera Classes in the coming months. Look for events on our website: MichiganAuroraChasers.com

As ever, thank you for your support! Especially if you've been notified on several different platforms. It's time for me to lean in!

Happy Chasing!
