Kat at Lemolo Falls
🕑 Added 2024-01-10 04:23:39 +0000 UTCI was backing up some files and realized I still had some shoots from my long road trip with Kat Malone up the West Coast that I hadn't yet posted! I just wanted to make sure all of this ended up on my Patreon so I will be adding these posts into the mix in the coming months.
This was shot in the summer of 2019, while Kat and I were camped next to Diamond Lake in the Umpqua National Forest in Oregon. Lushness galore along the "Highway of Waterfalls", and even though the dozens of waterfalls are the main attraction in Umpqua, and it was the busy summer season, it was still so easy to have a massive waterfall to ourselves. Such was the case at Lemolo Falls, which is a pretty wonderful and powerful falls. After hiking the mile trail down to the falls, we stopped short to shoot down river a bit. Even from a several hundred feet away from the falls, we were still get wet with the mist rising from the pool. I really wanted to walk right up as close as possible to the falls to shoot, but my camera would have been useless covered in all tat spray. We had quite an agenda of places we wanted to see that day though, so we made this shoot short and sweet. I will spare you the photos of me, but I looking back at the images I remember that we were in very good spirits as we started to ascend away from the waterfall and stopped to take a lot of selfies together (usually a sign of a fun shoot). I have to say that I feel fortunate to form memories of these gorgeous spots in nature by shooting them with a beautiful friend nude.
