Photography by Pat McNabb

On March 19th, 2022, Natural Pursuits held a shoot in Brooklyn, NY. As always we spent the day laughing and getting to know one another. It was the first warm spring day, so we were able to spend some time on the rooftop getting pictures.

This particular rooftop has skylights into the building’s other apartments. At one point a neighbor came up to inform us that we were hanging our asses directly over their living room and kindly requested we be more mindful. Fair enough.

Although “casual nudity” is the name of the game here at Natural Pursuits, we knew that inviting Pat McNabb meant uncovering the inherent sexiness of hanging out nude.
