At the end of Jason Lee’s photography session with model Jessi, the photoshoot took on a mesmerizing dimension against the backdrop of an old plantation slave church, adorned with hand-painted faux stained glass windows. These unique windows provided an enchanting and unconventional setting, adding depth and intrigue to Jessi’s nude portraits.

In the midst of nature’s elements, Autumn stood tall, facing the deep, rushing river and the swirling wind with a seasoned composure.

In their second shoot, Jason Lee and Megan pick up where they left off at the abandoned farm, following an old dirt road through the forest to a cliff above a river.
