Rachel and I had talked about shooting together for quite a while and were just waiting for the lushness that comes with winter rains.  Unfortunately they never really came. As soon as a one storm finally did arrive a month into winter we jumped on the chance to go for a hike.  

It was a short hike in my mind (about 5 miles round trip), but Rachel confessed she had never walked more than 3 miles and doubted she could do this little walk!  I refused to accept it and she took on the challenge.  She had no problem getting to this beautiful spot in front of a little waterfall that trickled out of an offshoot of the canyon, but then confessed she had also never posed nude outdoors! I had confidence in her though, and she went for it immediately despite the cold.  She didn't do half bad for her first try, and what a glorious figure to document (unusually, i had never actually seen her nude, not even in a photo, before she disrobed next to the trail, so i had no idea what i would be working with before that moment).

Right after we finished shooting, the rain finally began to fall, and we walked out of the canyon cold,wet, hungry, and stoked!
