Cathedral Ledge - North Conway, New Hampshire

This past week I visited a lovely place called Cathedral Ledge in North Conway, New Hampshire. Cathedral Ledge is a trail that you can either walk up or drive up to see the view below. Dogs are allowed on this trail, and you can also rock climb here as well if you are into that kind of activity. The view features beautiful mountains and a clear blue lake. This is the perfect place to sit down and take in the beauty of the nature that surrounds us. 


















A couple of things to keep in mind if you want to visit Cathedral Ledge -
- Please do not smoke and then proceed to throw your cigarette butt onto the ground on the mountain or trails. This is so disrespectful to not only the other people there, but also to nature itself. 
- If you bring your dog, make sure you have him/her on a leash, as that is what the rules state.
- Make sure you wear appropriate walking attire - something you'll be comfortable walking in the woods in and definitely a pair of shoes with good traction on them so that you don't slip. It is very rocky there, and there are some hills as well that you have to be careful navigating. 
- Lastly, just be sure to be respectful of nature and of others around you!

Natural Shoot

For this shoot, I had Emily leave her hair how it was and I also told her not to put any makeup on as I wanted to shoot how she looked completely natural. I decided to put some of the images in black and white as well, because I wanted to give them that old school feeling. Below are the images we came out with!








At first, I honestly wasn't sure how this was going to go and thought it was going to be one of those shoots that I completely scrap and try to forget. However, I think we did end up getting some beautiful shots and this shoot reminded me that even in our natural state with all of our supposed flaws, we are still beautiful.

Abby and Emily Siena Graduates 2018

On Sunday May 13th I watched my younger sister and her friend Abby walk across the stage at the Times Union Center and graduate from Siena College. I also had the opportunity to take photographs of the two of them after at Siena. Words cannot even express how proud I am of these two bright young ladies!
