I wish I could emphasize how monumental this moment was for me. After my accident, I was still holding on to the hope that I would someday be hiking 4,000 footers again even with the chronic pain. Then after a couple bad back sprains and a warning from the doctor, I had lost that hope completely. I had already given up running and now this.
A year ago in December, I was in a serious motor vehicle accident that changed my life…
After taking the Cog Railway up Mount Washington, the next day of our anniversary vacation we decided to visit Crawford Notch and hike Mount Willard. It is a popular 3.2 mile out and back trail that would be moderate for beginners/easy for experienced hikers. The trailhead is located across the train tracks of the railroad depot at AMC Crawford Notch Visitors Center.
My go-to destination for hiking has always been the White Mountains in New Hampshire. There are so many trails for all levels and many opportunities for mountain range views. It’s absolutely beautiful! And I’ve been dying to get back there.
Connor and Deanna’s engagement shoot reminded me of why I love my job. I get to meet some of the most amazing people and then capture a special moment in their lives. Even while the plan was for a sunset shoot, the weather gave us heavy fog instead. But they were still positive and made the most out of the evening, with or without a sunset.
I’ve been waiting for this engagement session for a while and was so excited when I finally heard the news. Dom and Kyra are so quirky, funny, and endearing with eachother, it’s hard not to have fun when you are with them. Underneath all the humor and laughs, it’s obvious how much they truly care about the other. I can’t wait to watch them say I do on their wedding day as they encapsulate what it means to marry your best friend. Until then, here are some of my favorites from their engagement shoot at Portland Headlight in Cape Elizabeth, Maine..
