Indian Paint Pots Engagement Session

I photographed this engagement session at Indian Paint Pots, where mineral-stained earth, steaming pools, and layered textures create one of the most visually unique landscapes in the state. The setting feels almost otherworldly, with muted colors and subtle geothermal activity shaping the atmosphere as we moved carefully through the area, letting the environment lead the pace of the session.

This engagement session reflects the quiet intensity of Indian Paint Pots, where natural patterns, rising steam, and open terrain replace traditional mountain backdrops. The resulting images are grounded in place and process, capturing the couple within a landscape defined by geology, time, and subtle movement rather than scale or spectacle.
