Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Maine

I finally went to Acadia National Park! I've wanted to go there since I started taking photography seriously, it's such a beautiful place! Below are just a few of the photos taken while up there, more will be posted in my online gallery soon. Most of my favorites are from the morning I went out to catch the sunrise and explore on my own. Nature photography is what got me hooked on photography to start with and weddings and portraits evolved from that love of pictures.

It was a great trip for the whole family. Ryan loved hiking the trails and climbing on the rocks, Gina loved the pool, Tara and I loved everything except the drive (15 hours to get home)! Ryan and Gina are now officially "Junior Rangers" after completing various tasks and being sworn in. They learned a lot from the various ranger-led programs we attended and booklets they completed. They were both great when we decided to take a loooong hike through the trails, parts of which were pretty challenging for kids.

The nice thing is that Bar Harbor (Bah Habah) is practically part of the park, so there's lots of options for dining and other things. We explored the sandbar that appears at low tide, went whale watching and saw humpback and finback whales, shopped, ate, and had lots of fun in town.
