Figured it was about time we properly introduced ourselves!
Hi, I’m Abs and as Cam would say, I’m the heart behind Summit & Sage.
My journey into photography started on a girls trip. A friend handed me her camera and asked me to grab a few shots of her. Something clicked literally and figuratively. I’ve always been drawn to photography as a kid, would sneak off with my dad’s camera and play around with it, but life had other plans. I was busy chasing other dreams and honestly didn’t think I’d ever be that good at it.
That trip brought me back to it though. It sparked a passion project that became something that feels more like a calling, a way to capture life as it unfolds. The connections, the light, the moments that pass by but deserve to last forever.
I grew up in South Africa, spending time on my aunt’s private game farm surrounded by wild animals and the African bush. That shaped how I see the world and my connection to nature. When we moved to Canada it took me a long time to find that feeling again, but once I spent more time in the mountains, it came rushing back. Being able to combine my love for the outdoors with photography has been one of the greatest gifts.
I love food especially when it’s local, fresh, and made with love. I often edit to indie, dad rock, or vibey house music with a little African beats mixed in. I can be fully dressed up one day and in hiking boots the next, but I always come back to the coziest clothes with the stretchiest waistbands. I’ve been lucky enough to visit 22 countries and I’m always dreaming of the next one.
My deepest desire is to live a life I’m so damn proud of and hopefully inspire others to chase theirs dreams too.
We only get one life. Live it with intention, chase your wildest dreams, and respect the journey.
If you’ve made it this far thank you, genuinely.
I’d love to know what inspires you, and what drew you to our work? Drop it in the comments
Love, Abs 🤍
