Personal Brand Photographer + Online Educator

When I started my first business, I couldn’t afford a branding photographer, so like the true DIYer that I am, I figured it out myself. Soon, friends and colleagues were asking me for tips on how to take their own photos. I created an online program that morphed into the Quarter Moon Studio.

I loved having a camera in my hand so much that I started taking photos for friends, and after a few sessions, I was HOOKED. 

My background in exploratory education, homesteading, herbalism, and garden design all came together to form the perfect potion, and I realized I was uncommonly good at noticing the small details others may miss and capturing the magic of everyday work!
