The Story - Summit Lab Studio
1. The Spark
Creativity is my heartbeat. Through the lens of Summit Lab Studio, I chase the wild moments that make life vibrant. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I’m passionate about capturing the beauty of the world around us.
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, immersed in its vibrant energy, but my family and I moved north to embrace a quieter life surrounded by nature. My family is my anchor—without them, I’d be adrift.
2. Life Outside the Frame
Running, hunting, photography, and jiujitsu are my outlets. They free my mind and recharge my soul. Well, maybe not jiujitsu in the mountains—that sounds like a recipe for misery! The others draw me to the wild beauty of the outdoors, where I feel most alive.
3. The Journey Back to Creativity
My creative journey began with sketching as a kid and evolved into photography in high school.
Then life moved fast. In my 20s and early 30s, creativity took a decade-long pause.
When my wife asked for a camera as a new hobby, my passion for wildlife photography was reignited.
Now, I’ve realized that creativity is what fuels my happiness. Summit Lab Studio is my space to lean into that passion, share my journey as a nature photographer, and explore where it takes me.
One dream I’m chasing is to capture a bald eagle snatching a fish from the water—its raw power frozen in a photograph or slow-motion video.
4. Field Notes & Connection
Field Notes is my canvas for authenticity and joy. I hope Summit Lab Studio inspires you through my stories, wildlife photography tips, or shared experiences. My goal is to create a positive space that offers a spark of motivation for anyone seeking light in their own journey.
