Brandy Stone is a photographer, writer, and outdoor educator. With over 20 years of experience as a professional photographer and eight years running nature-based programs for children, her work weaves together the wonder of nature, childhood adventure, and the power of creativity. She has fond childhood memories of walking across logs, climbing trees, digging, and building with sticks. She enjoys exploring the native plant gardens around her home with kids. She likes hiking but is easily distracted by beautiful scenery, flowers, and other small details along trails. She develops seasonal art projects and experiments for elementary-aged children, which she shares on her website brambleglen.com. She is a mother of three and lives and works from her home in Issaquah, Washington.
