Beaton Path Photography

Split Rock Lighthouse, carved into the cliffs of Lake Superior since 1910. Built after a storm wrecked 29 ships in a single night. It didn’t just guide sailors home, it warned them: this lake takes what it wants.

Most of my followers know a bit about me, but for those who don’t allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Kyle, I’m a Wisconsin-based photographer with a soft spot for rugged mountains, desert sunsets, and anything that flies, growls, or stalks through the wild. Central Wisconsin is home, but my heart definitely wanders west.

I got into photography kind of by accident. During the pandemic, like a lot of people, I needed something to keep me sane. So I bought a camera, with zero clue how to use it, or any formal training, and just started messing around. Turns out, I loved it. What started as a way to kill time turned into a full blown passion.

These days, photography is my way of escaping the everyday chaos and reconnecting with the world around me. I love capturing landscapes that most people might never get to see in person, and wildlife in moments that show just how wild and beautiful this planet really is. Especially the apex predators and birds of prey, there’s just something powerful and humbling about seeing them through the lens.

Outside of photography, my world revolves around my incredible wife, who somehow puts up with “just one more shot” moments, and our two young boys, who are the best kind of wild adventure all on their own.

This page is where I share what I see, what moves me, and hopefully help you experience the beauty of nature in a way that feels real and raw. Thanks for following along, I’m excited to have you here.
