Jacob Moon was a full-time nurse before his adventure photography career kicked off.  He spent his days off exploring the mountains and taking incredible landscape images that he mostly kept to himself until a friend prompted him to post them to Instagram, and the rest is history.  In this episode, we discuss integrating family into the outdoors, managing risk, and learning to backpack with a baby.
