I took the opportunity of extending my recent trip to Seattle for Veronica and Joshua’s karaoke wedding to go explore.

I’d long wanted to visit the Washington coast, so I put out a model call and found someone willing to go for a loooong drive for the sake of breathtaking scenery. Rachel was the definition of a good sport, and she rocked this session in spite of the cold and in spite of the unplanned sacrifice of her down jacket to Poseidon.

It’s always fun to get together with other creatives just for the sake of creating something beautiful. The wind whipped at Rachel’s hair, and I loved the wild, untamed beachy vibe of it all.
