Hikes, swims, dock days. Forest trails, boat rides, wrong turns and right ones. Sunsets and slow mornings. A lot of sunscreen — and bug spray too. This was summer in Canada — fifteen frames of simple moments and small adventures shared with my family. A season of movement and stillness, of finding stories in the in-between. Photographed for Columbia Sportswear, this series is a celebration of the outdoors — of light, laughter and the kind of freedom that only comes from being surrounded by nature.

On assignment or off-grid, Columbia gear is always part of my journey. EXPLORE more of my field-tested adventures with Columbia Sportswear.
