While I vacationed in Seacoast New Hampshire, I woke up one morning for sunrise at Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine. This lighthouse had been a popular one to be photographed and shared on social media. It perches on its own island and is very photogenic. The morning I went, unfortunately the sunrise wasn’t as colorful but I still appreciated the beauty of New England!

From Nubble lighthouse, I wasn’t ready to go back to the campground so I drove up to Kennebunkport. It is a favorite that I’ve been to before a few times. However, it was first time during summer and in the early hours when the town was quiet. I loved walking around photographing the quietness. Kennebunkport reminds me of where I live — Mystic, Connecticut. Both towns are very different in their own ways but they both are a small town with that charm.

After walking around Kennebunkport, I worked up an appetite so I went to a favorite — Maine Diner located in Wells, Maine. I didn’t want to eat lunch in the parking lot (I had my pup with me!) so I googled coastal access and found Wells Harbor Community Park. There was a pavilion with plenty of tables. After I finished my lunch, I took a stroll on the beach and visited the Wells Harbor pier. I throughly enjoyed the low key day in Maine.

The photos were captured in York, Kennebunkport and Wells, Maine in September 2025. All photos are available for purchase. Please make request here.
