TreeGirl is Julianne Skai Arbor, who is an exquisite tree photographer, with a unique component to her photography – she tastefully and artistically inserts herself in her tree pictures, unclothed (which makes her website a little NSFW). She also has a beautifully illustrated book titled“TreeGirl: Intimate Encounters with Wild Nature”
