Jessamyne Rose for Into the Wild (Patreon)

The forests near us in Seattle are just something so special.  There are so many ways to explore shooting nudes in nature, so many things to explore.  An image can be made special by the shapes a model creates, the flora that surrounds them, the geological formations, light and the way they all interact.  

Jessamyne and I last shot in 2008.  How 10 years passed between our shoots neither of us are quite certain.  But these things happen in our industry, we can find ourselves ships passing in the night for long periods of time.  Regardless I couldn't think of a more perfect place to reunite.  The forests in the mountains are just incredible for taking photos, and then after our shoot Jessamyne was kind enough to indulge my obsession with the Pacific Blackberries that grow along the trails.

Where else can I enjoy my two favorite activities taking photos and eating free food...
