These pictures are from shoots across the state of Washington, showcasing some of the most beautiful parts of the state, including Mt Rainier, Olympia National Park, the Olympic coastline, and the Scablands.

Picture 1

A Misty Morning Excursion: Honestly, no clue what time of day this shot was actually taken during. We were traveling around with friends in their RV, and while the RV was in transit we would be sleeping, so I do know we had woken up just shortly beforehand.

Picture 2

The Shaved Olympic Yeti: Apparently even the Yeti’s get uncomfortably warm sometimes, so they shave the body, the head, but they always leave the beard.

Picture 3

And the Spirit Descended Like a Dove: This land could use a little spiritual healing, it is called the Scablands due to monster floods that carved out the topography of the surrounding area, even leaving some of the water behind, that has since been evaporated and restored time and time again.

Watching the Choppy Seas: Honestly, the driftwood beaches of the Olympic Coast were one of our favorite things about the Pacific Northwest. Nothing like being able to walk barefoot on logs for miles without having to touch the ground.

The Bridge Troll Guards His Trunk: Though it clearly doesn’t bridge anything, this random log was still a hoot, get on the end and start bouncing up and down and soon the whole log is waving through the air.

Picture 6

Why Be on a Beach, When You Could Be on a Cliff: It is a bit further from the water, but if you close your eyes and take a moment to imagine, you can easily think of times when even that ledge would have been submerged beneath the floods from Glacier Lake Missoula.

A Rainy Contemplative Mood: It was wet for most of our time in the Pacific Northwest, but that should never keep the adventurer from adventuring, and when it is rainy is the best time to go au natural, then you don’t have to worry about getting clothes wet.

A Running Start: Olympia National Park is a sight to behold! When thinking of the Pacific Northwest I usually think of striking coastline, mountains, and the eastern deserts, but Olympia is a vibrant rainforest, if feels like being transported to the Amazon.

Picture 9

Hearing the Roar of the Ancient Floods: As a geography nerd, the majesty of the Scablands and the idea of how they were formed is just awe-inspiring. Will we see such explosive forces of creation and destruction in our lifetime?

Picture 10

Sea Spray and Good Vibes: The one playing lookout for this shoot was able to warn the other two just in time about and elderly couple that was about to walk up on some young ass. Never sure how the uninitiated will react.

Picture 11

All About the Vantage Point: In this case we were taking a NaturalNatures right next to a busy trail, so the one being the model is also being his own alert system, no need to offend people while getting one’s naked on.

Picture 12

A Broken Bridge and an Iron Will: Mt. Rainier hid from us on our visit, but it did not mean we still weren’t able to find beautiful views as we wandered off trail. There is a special kind of beauty to the cloudy skies.

Picture 13

Stepping to the Crossing: Of course, once he looks up he will see that there is no full crossing, but until that moment, it still looks like an epic log to walk on. Mt Rainier is up above the clouds to the left.
