If you can’t tell, we stay pretty busy.
Freelance Photography
Through his photography, Chuck skillfully freezes moments in time, crafting narratives that speak volumes. He doesn’t photograph weddings unless you’re a close friend or family. You will find him shooting festivals, conferences, parties, or music performances. When he is not at a gig, his other passion is capturing Michigan’s culture and landscapes. Dive into our gallery, experience our shared adventures through Chuck’s lens, and keep an eye out for Brenda’s equally captivating shots!
Freelance Writing
As freelance writers, we do more than share stories on Life In Michigan. We also contribute to a variety of publications, including Michigan Brew Trail Magazine and Rural Innovation Exchange. Explore our “In Other News” section on the home page for links to some of our featured articles. Follow Chuck’s journey into the music world as he provides album reviews, concert coverage, and artist interviews for Metal Wani and Loud Hailer Magazine.

fans with bands podcast
We’re the creators and hosts of ‘Fans With Bands.’ In each episode, we create a platform for bands and fans alike to delve into discussions about music, life, and anything else that sparks interest. We understand it’s not always easy to connect with your favorite bands during a show or online, so we bridge that gap, fostering deeper conversations between fans and bands.
