In a serendipitous encounter at a historic inn, Jason Lee and Courtney embark on an evening of exploration and creativity. Despite living on opposite coasts, providence brings them together, intertwining their paths in a captivating collaboration. Against the backdrop of the inn’s vintage charm, Courtney’s adventurous spirit and Jason’s keen eye for detail converge to unearth hidden beauty amidst the mundane. With echoes of a bygone era, they delve into the mystique of the 1940s, weaving tales of detective noir and speakeasies amidst the wooden linen closets and secret spaces of the resort. Through his lens, Jason Lee captures Courtney’s beauty amongst the essence of a time long past, breathing new life into its timeless allure.

Courtney was so amazing, climbing in and out of spaces (including an exposed natural cavern, a linen closet and going outside in the freezing cold weather!) It was an awe-inspiring adventure, finding beauty in odd places. She fit right into the mystique of the era, as we thought of detective noir novels, speakeasys and robber barons.

In the transient beauty of Boise’s evolving landscape, Jason Lee captures the timeless allure of Miranda amidst a striking array of giant boulders. Uncovering hidden gems nestled beside a bustling main road, Jason seizes the opportunity to immortalize this fleeting scene before progress transforms it forever.

I’m always on the lookout for a great location. This pile of giant boulders was hiding in plain sight and a few weeks later, these beautiful rocks were gone, turned into landscape features. Here today, gone tomorrow, so shoot it today!

Through this process, Jason captures moments frozen in time, inviting viewers to contemplate the eternal in the simplicity of his compositions. “Infinity” embodies a timeless beauty, where each detail speaks volumes in its absence, leaving room for infinite interpretation.

Chels, introduced to Jason Lee through a mutual connection, embraced her debut modeling experience with unwavering enthusiasm. Her reverence for her Creator radiates through Jason’s lens, capturing her timeless beauty amidst the serene backdrop of an abandoned woodland church. The profound atmosphere stirred contemplation on divine goodness and the metaphor of returning to Eden through Jesus.

Chels’ love of her Creator is evident in these photos. She reminds me of a beautiful Greek statue: classical beauty at an old abandoned church in the woods. It was such a worshipful atmosphere.

The idea of Jesus leading us back to the garden is such a compelling one. I feel a bit shaken up. I’ve been thinking over and over ‘and the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations.’

Jason Lee reminisces about his first shoot with model Angelle, a memorable encounter orchestrated by a serendipitous connection. Originally planned as a collaborative effort between two models, the shoot unfolded with unexpected chemistry as Angelle and the other model met for the first time. Despite their initial unfamiliarity, the shared experience of vulnerability and appreciation for the human form forged an instant bond, transforming strangers into fast friends. Through their collaboration, Jason captures not just images but also the essence of newfound camaraderie born from mutual openness and respect for the nude form.

Here’s one from the way back machine and was a funny story! There was another model who lived five hours away and she had decided to drive in to shoot with me. She reached out independently to Angelle, who was local, to see if she wanted to come with us and shoot together, and then told me about the plan. I assumed that the two ladies knew each other, but it turns out, they met for the first time that day on our shoot! We bonded immediately and were old friends by the time we walked back to the car. There’s something beautiful about choosing vulnerability and embracing the goodness of the nude body that turns acquaintances into instant friendships.
