This local gem, Frisky Girl Farm is owned and run by badass women whose beautiful flowers and veggies keep us coming back!
They’ve made picking up so easy the last few months with their contactless farm-stand. Whether we are looking for veggie starts or want some yummy fresh produce, Frisky Girl Farm has new goods each week! 🌻🌾
We are still waiting for baby intern M to arrive, so we’ve been refreshing the website with some new awesome imagery from our pals at Me & My Girl and getting ready to send out cameras and camp supplies to our summer kids! Summer looks a lot different than expected, but we are making the best of it!

Black Lives Matter.
There is so much more we can do as an organization to become better actively anti-racist change-makers. We aim to ensure our Black students see themselves in the artists we study, the projects we create, and the discussions we encourage. But, that's not enough.
While revamping our staff training, brand guides, and our curriculum, we are ready to grow and educate ourselves and our team to infuse anti-bias and anti-racism work into every part of our business.
Committed to adding more BIPOC voices to our team, we are hiring additional Program Coordinators, Photographers, and Educators for Fall to equitably continue our mission to grow creative confidence with engaging art-filled photography education to kids.
It’s not an option to stop learning and fighting for Black lives. We'll continue to PAY, support, and amplify Black voices and artists with the knowledge that we can all do something to help dismantle systemic racism.
After class plans today included nothing but PLANTS! Happy Earth Day!
We’ve been studying the work of Angélica Dass, whose work beautifully challenges how we think about skin color and ethnic identity. We watched her TED talk as homework and started class with some interesting questions and discussions about her work. Now, our private students are busy writing, planning, and photographing their projects to share next week.
On a personal note, we are still getting used to not meeting with our students in-person, and while it’s not ideal, we’ve been able to make it work so far thanks to our students and their families for trusting us during this stressful period. Sending you more hugs.
