Mini bio
How it started.
Born and raised in Utah, Jacob earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing. At 26, he took a camera on his first mountain hike so he could show his family what he had seen. Photography became a way to hold onto those experiences.
Finding an audience.
His official biography dates his Instagram start to 2016. Sharing mountain photographs brought followers and work opportunities, and he left nursing a year later to pursue photography full-time. His work grew to include video, writing and leading adventures.
Family outside.
Many adventures include his wife, Natasha, and daughter, Zoey. His films range from a family Sprinter van tour to a drive along Colorado’s Camp Bird Road. For Outside and Travel Nevada, he photographed a road trip through Southern Nevada.
A new balance.
In June 2026, he shared that he had returned to nursing after eight years of full-time freelance work.
