the davy crockett set (Patreon)

A ultimate favorite of mine and my followers, the Davy Crockett set! This was so fun to shoot and ended up being a real hit. As winter was running her course on the woods, we struggled to find a spot that wasn't barren and struck by the cold. We eventually set aside our baseline creative minds and dug a bit deeper, finding the post-autumn forest interesting and unique, maybe even less often used for shoots.

This state park in Georgia had a perfect space that no soul was interested in, so we were left alone. I think it ended up working perfectly for this theme, encapsulating a very basic and common look of the woods in the southeast in winter. I grew up in woods like these, running around with my cousins and siblings. They're mundane but they're special. They make me wish for more, and then make me stop and realize every part of nature is special. Appalachia, you remind me to love this Earth in the hardest ways, which tend to be the most impactful. You have made me a wild woman first, before anywhere else did. My photos in your terrain are my love letters to you, forever and ever, and they will still never be enough.
