Joanie Simon is a Phoenix-based professional food photographer, blogger, and educator with an awesome pixie do and an abiding love of potatoes!
Joanie Simon teaches people about food photography through her online platform The Bite Shot, which includes a rapidly growing YouTube channel and a Facebook community. She shares lessons from her kitchen studio, along with wild and crazy glimpses of life with two little boys and her college sweetheart on their “Ranchito” in Arizona.
Among her greatest joys in life is coaching people through the growing pains of learning food photography and seeing them create images they’re eager to share with the world.
Joanie left a high-stress job in technology sales to pursue her creative passions in food and photography and can’t wait to help others do the same.
