CONTRIBUTORS
Daria Amato CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER
I am a native New Yorker and graduate from the School of Visual Arts. Throughout my 30 years of experience, I have photographed for a wide range of editorial, advertising, company branding and corporate clients in addition to music, fashion, portraiture, weddings and still life. As a photographer, I have been recognized and awarded by the Society of Publication Designers and Graphic Design USA Magazine and have received the Optima Design Award for best cover photography. I am an enthusiastic storyteller of moving and still images within lifestyle, food and travel, along with being a health foodie, yearning traveler, forever student and beach lover.
Kathryn Greene CONTRIBUTING WRITER
As a lifelong Southerner (with the exception of five years living in New York City), I spent many summers enjoying North Carolina’s beautiful beaches and coastline. Since receiving my bachelor’s degree from the Grady College of Journalism at the University of Georgia, I have been a freelance lifestyle and travel writer. My work has been published by national and regional print and online publications including TripSavvy, Culture Trip, Southern Bride and Edible Manhattan. When I am not writing articles, I am either at work on my upcoming thriller novel, studying wine to become a Level 1 sommelier or my favorite activity of all — spending time at the beach with my feet in the sand and a drink in my hand.
Annesophia Richards CONTRIBUTING WRITER
After spending a decade as an English teacher in Florida, I moved to Wilmington three years ago to be closer to family. I now spend my time freelance writing and raising my two small, very energetic children. I love exploring all that makes North Carolina such a beautiful state, and I also enjoy travelling as much as my family and time allow. My writing appears in various parenting and local area publications. In my free time I tend to read or go for a run, and I also love to compete in creative writing contests. I have received awards for several pieces of flash fiction. My ability to tell a good tale is a talent that I use nightly when tucking my kids in with a bedtime story.
