Hi, I'm Lily Venable, a community-centered creative in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

 

I am a marketer, designer, writer and photographer, specializing in food-centric educational outreach. I believe fresh food and fresh food skills are meaningful solutions to the effects of poverty in our community.

I help businesses develop digital assets to support a vibrant local economy. This includes branding photography, social media coaching, newsletter design, and more. My goal is to equip and empower business owners with great visual design and industry knowledge.

You may know me best as an outdoor photographer! Though I specialize in food, farm, and small business photography, I also do weddings, couples, families, events, maternity, and more.

 

Photography keeps me busy all summer and fall, and I enjoy documenting some of the travels and connections it brings me on my website blog, Facebook, and Instagram (@lilyeatsup).
