& just like that Summer is leaving us... Spent yesterday in the mountains for the last weekend before fall hits 🍂🍁 We hiked up to Kinglet Lake (which I had never been to) and my goodness was it beautiful! The forecast is calling for snow this week so it was nice to take advantage of the weather. Who else got out hiking this weekend? #freshairandfreedom
OH HEY Alberta 👋🏼 you sure are beautiful! | This was taken in early October last year. Forecast is saying snow next weekend and I am not too sure how I feel about that. Especially seeing as it’s the annual @melissasroadrace weekend 🤣 Excited to spend some time in the mountains this weekend enjoying the last little bit of Summer we may have 🤷🏼‍♀️ | Photo @itsbigben #freshairandfreedom
You will be exactly as happy as you decide to be | Tag someone who makes you ridiculously happy... spend more time around those people ✌🏼✨ #freshairandfreedom
HIKING? How do you define it? Whether your idea of a ‘hike’ consists of a full day mission up a mountain, getting to that ‘peak’ and taking in all the views around you, a multi day back country trip with a 40lb bag on your back, a couple hours to a lake or final destination, or even 15 minutes or a half hour to get to that ‘spot’. The term ‘hiker’ is a broad term and when people say ‘I am not a hiker’ or ‘I’ll never be a hiker, I’m not fit enough, or brave enough’, I get a little frustrated. When I started out going to the mountains I felt very overwhelmed. I didn’t know what to pack, where to go, what to expect etc. It truly takes getting out there, starting small, starting local, researching what gear to bring and how to prep your bag, and even just going to your local gym or utilizing the trails around your home to build up that hiking stamina. It also just takes trial and error... the amount of things I’ve learned over the years about hiking is long and it’s forever growing. The first is a picture of a little ‘hike’ we did in Quebec around ‘Pink Lake’ it was approx. 45 minutes and there wasn’t much elevation gain, but it was beautiful, I loved seeing trail runners, families out and just enjoying conversation with the people I was with. The second is a all day hike I did last year to the peak of ‘Mount Temple’ in Banff National Park, requiring the use of ice axes due to the conditions that day, helmets and a whole lot of layers. Some people would never consider the first one a ‘hike’ and others would 100%. How do you define ‘hiking’? @keencanada | 1st photo @braedin | 2nd @forbesricky #freshairandfreedom
QUESTION for you - Fall is my favourite season, for multiple reasons, even though it’s sadly the shortest. I love the changing colours, the larches, the crisp mornings, running through the trails, the temperature, cozy sweaters, scarves and having yet another excuse to drink even more coffee ... though Craig would beg to differ. He insists it’s the worse of the 4, because everything is ‘dying’ and a reminder that the warmth is leaving us and the freezing cold is around the corner. I’d like to know... what are your thoughts on Fall? #freshairandfreedom 🙋🏼‍♀️🍁 🍂🍃
SNEAK PEAK - ‘It’s the way her soul dances when he looks at her’ - Beth Michele 🖤 | Choosing a wedding photographer was FAR from easy. Since we got engaged I’ve had a number of conversations with previous brides about how they planned for their day, what to spend more on and what you could ‘probably do without’ and photography was of course the top for them - investing in someone who not only takes great photos, but you’re comfortable around. Being in the outdoor photo industry I see a lot of different options and had many messages and emails come through from people offering their service... Though I ended up reaching out to a long time ‘insta friend’ of mine, a fellow @keencanada ambassador, mom to two of the cutest little ones, and a birthday twin of mine! I had always admired @ellinds photos and the ‘real’ I felt when seeing them. She made us feel SO comfortable during our engagement shoot in the mountains this past Friday and captured ‘us’ perfectly. She send a couple sneak peaks the day after 🤗 and I can’t wait to see the rest! @ej.lifestyle #freshairandfreedom | @crp13
Design a life that you are inspired to live - Annette White | I am curious where is one place on your bucket list currently!? Morocco and Norway have been high on my list for quite some time along with like 12 other counties 🤣 @gopro #freshairandfreedom
BREATHE - There will be mountains bigger than this. Peaks hidden in mist. What you will find at the end of the climb... all you need is some hope, fear and risk ❤️ - p.bodi | As yal can see I haven’t been spending AS much time bagging peaks or in the back country in the mountains. Life’s been busy but I find peace in knowing those mountains will always be there for me when I need them #freshairandfreedom | Thanks @crp13 for being the best photographer and not even knowing it 😘
