Kim and Jason Lee of Genesis Photography embarked on a hiking and modeling shoot in Idaho, exploring the natural splendor of an alpine lake, framed by ancient trees, formed by a long-erupted volcano. They found inspiration amidst the waterfalls, marveling at the magnificence of nature and emphasizing the beauty of existing within it.
Idaho has such natural wonders! It is such a pleasure to get out for a hike and model shoot on a beautiful alpine lake! Kim and I hiked down to this beautiful area, formed long ago from the breaking of a volcano’s cone and now filled with crystal blue water and ancient trees. The natural setting and waterfalls inspire one to be free and whole in one’s skin – breathing in the air of God’s creation and experiencing the sun on your back – what a wonderful world we inhabit.
In the realm of photography, there exists a powerful symbiosis between the model and the photographer, a dance of creativity and expression that unfolds frame by frame. In the case of Mayye and Jason Lee, this dynamic partnership transcends the conventional boundaries of the art form, igniting sparks of confidence, spontaneity, and uninhibited self-expression.
As Mayye steps into the spotlight of Jason Lee’s lens, she sheds not only her inhibitions but also her clothes, baring her natural form with an electrifying sense of liberation. It’s a moment of raw vulnerability, yet it’s imbued with an undeniable aura of confidence and self-assurance. With each click of the shutter, Mayye’s essence is captured in all its unadulterated glory, a testament to her fearless embrace of her own beauty and uniqueness.
For Jason Lee, Mayye is not just another subject to photograph; she is a muse, a source of inspiration, and an embodiment of the uninhibited spirit he seeks to capture in his work. Her spontaneity and willingness to push boundaries resonate deeply with him, making her one of the most enjoyable collaborators he’s ever encountered. In Mayye, he finds a kindred spirit—a fellow artist who shares his passion for capturing the fleeting moments of life with authenticity and gusto.
Their shoot by the tranquil shores of the lake becomes a canvas upon which their vibrant energy and camaraderie are painted in vivid strokes. Against the backdrop of nature’s serene beauty, Mayye’s presence electrifies the scene, infusing it with a palpable sense of vitality and joie de vivre. With each pose and gesture, she exudes a magnetic charm that captivates the viewer, inviting them to join her in celebrating the joy of being alive.
What sets Mayye apart as a model is not just her physical beauty, but her inner radiance—a luminous quality that shines through in every photograph. It’s the sparkle in her eyes, the curve of her smile, the graceful arch of her body—all brought to life by Jason Lee’s masterful lensmanship. Together, they create images that transcend mere visual representation, evoking emotions and telling stories that resonate on a deeply personal level.
As soon as we got to the shore of the lake where we were going to shoot, Mayye pulled off her t-shirt and dropped her gym shorts, revealing all of her naked glory. She was ready to model and is one of the spunkiest, fun people I’ve worked with.

As the sun sets on their lakeside shoot, casting a golden glow over the water, Mayye and Jason Lee share a moment of quiet satisfaction. They’ve created something special together—something that transcends the boundaries of art and touches the soul. In Mayye’s fearless embrace of her own truth, and Jason Lee’s keen eye for capturing the essence of that truth, they’ve forged a partnership that is as timeless as it is exhilarating. And as they pack up their gear and prepare to depart, they know that this is just the beginning of a journey filled with creativity, passion, and boundless possibility.
