Posy Quarterman

Born in Staten Island, NY, and raised in Portland, Oregon, Posy is a mover and a shaker, a fiercely devoted friend, and a travel addict, with a lifelong love of documenting people just as they are. She briefly attended art school in NYC, but returned to the Pacific Northwest (despite hating the rain) to study criminal justice and work in the criminal defense world. Despite loving that work, in 2007, after becoming a mother, she decided to try make a go of this photography thing. Over the last twelve years she has worked tirelessly to build a thriving family photography business in her beloved city. Posy knows the difference between show and substance, and if "authentic" has become nothing more than an internet buzzword, then she wants to reclaim it. Posy is not interested in fanfare or bullshit. She is interested in people, social justice, teaching, big earrings, and ultimately, telling people's stories with truth and heart.
