This was almost at the end of a two-week trip from Salt Lake City all the way up to Canada with two of our sweetest friends, their handsome Rottweiler Captain and traveling for the first time in my life in a full-size RV. Therefore, this was definitely not the usual couple photo session at Lake Louise.

The photo session was the perfect ending…

It was the kind of road trip the way we love it. Boon-docking in the wild under a clear starlit sky. Hiking the Rocky Mountains’ peaks and enjoying exciting outdoor adventures, all with the promise of stunning photographs in the most beautiful places the Northwest and Canada have to offer.

Always up for a hike with the camera in our hands

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that we love waking up early in the mornings to witness incredible sunrises, hiking to the top of mountains, staying outside until sunset and even staying up late to chase shooting stars in the night sky. I know that’s definitely not everyone’s definition of a ‘relaxed’ vacation. Because let’s be honest! It’s exhausting and after 90 miles of hiking we all needed a couple days to recover. But Kara and Ben are just like us. And if you are planning a similar trip, click here to learn more about the must sees in Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier and Banff.

2. We hiked a glacier. Also a real one 😀 It is called Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park and after one of the more challenging hikes we were rewarded with ice blue water and ices floes – I have never seen anything like that before. 

3. We had a fun photo session at Lake Louise with our sweet friends. And this was so special to me. Not only did I love the change of settings but also capturing Kara and Ben’s incredible love for each other just before the start of a new chapter in their lives. Kara is four months pregnant in those photographs. I am so impressed on how she handled the entire trip while carrying a little baby.
