Summer Schantz spent the majority of her adolescence photographing things she found beautiful: abandoned houses, sheet ghosts, the color lavender, and portraits of the complex people surrounding her. Overwhelmed by a love for the world she was discovering, Summer turned to storytelling and began a life long journey of searching for ways to translate intangible emotions such as hope, loss, and love into words brought to life by film. She hopes that the art she creates will help others begin to cherish life and the experiences within it just as much as she does.
