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).
