Alexis and I had never met when i scooped her up from her family's house in the Bay Area in June 2015, so it was kind of an odd feeling to meet her mother before driving off with her for a 3 night trip into the wilderness of far Northern California to photograph her. She had never been up to the Redwoods, and hadn't done much modeling, but we had concocted this plan to do a shoot for her in a cosplay she had been working on (the cos seemed perfectly suited to the Redwoods), as well as shooting some nudes of her in the Redwoods (a setting I hold dear in my heart).  I made a joke about stealing her away from her family (since Alexis comes off as much younger than 24 years old) and she immediately one upped my joke into something totally inappropriate.  After that i was pretty sure we were gonna get along, and that proved to be true. Alexis is bubbly, pervy, goofy, prone to anxiety, but still full of verve and a can do attitude (I still can't figure out how those last two things can co-exist within her, but they do!).

Our first stop was in the heart of Humboldt redwood country, where I pulled off the Avenue of the Giants so we could get a look at the Eel River.  We felt compelled to strip down and jump in for a dip as there was no one around.  I hadn't planned to shoot her (we were trying to get all the way to Arcata by dinner time), and thus hadn't even taken my camera from the car (the time i would make that mistake on this trip), but luckily I had my phone with me to capture her first time standing naked in nature, skinny dipping, feeling that supreme serenity that only comes in the redwoods, etc.  (I have a feeling I might upload this video for my Patrons soon - its just that nice of a moment to me.)

We stopped at one more random spot to shoot some pics quickly that day before finishing our day's 7 hour trek to the far North.
