POSY QUARTERMAN
Born in Staten Island, NY, and raised in Portland, Oregon, Posy Quarterman is what happens when art meets hustle. She has been photographing people since her grandmother gave her a polaroid camera for Christmas at the age of 10. After art school in NYC, she returned to Portland (despite hating the rain), and turned that passion into a thriving family photography business (going into its 12th year). Not many photographers find harmony in the space where business and art collide, but Posy is not most photographers. If "authentic" has become nothing more than an internet buzzword, then Posy wants to reclaim it. She is not interested in fanfare or bullshit. She is interested in people, teaching, traveling, learning from her teenage son, criminal justice reform, and ultimately, telling people's stories with truth and heart. In 2016 after searching for a photography conference that catered to the Family Photography industry and coming up short, Posy co-founded The Family Narrative .
