🌾 Hey there! Welcome to my world. I’m Sheila Joy—photographer, gardener, creative soul, and proud Nonnie to (soon-to-be!) 13 beautiful grandkids. I live in Yerington, Nevada, in the land of sand, sagebrush, and wild horses. Life out here is quiet and raw, full of texture and stories—just the way I like it. I’m a problem solver by nature—the kind who thinks outside the box, inside it, and sometimes plants flowers right on top of it. Whether you’re here for photography, gardening wisdom, or creative inspiration, I know we can work together to get you started on your next chapter. ⸻ 📸 With 25 years behind the lens… I help others learn to see differently. Through photo walks, virtual challenges, and creative mentoring, I invite you to slow down, find the light, and reconnect with the world around you. ⸻ 🌱 And now… introducing Sage & Soil NV My newest venture is a micro business rooted in native plants, pollinators, and peaceful living. At Sage & Soil NV, I’m growing desert-adapted seedlings, offering free gardening education, and running a seasonal honor farm stand right at the end of my driveway (coming soon). With a greenhouse going up soon (starting the build this week) and seeds already in hand, this project is blooming fast—and it’s all about sharing the beauty and resilience of high desert gardening. ⸻ I believe in learning as you grow (literally and figuratively), in the healing power of creativity, and in doing a little good with your own two hands. If you’re into natural living, storytelling, or turning wild ideas into rooted realities, you’re in the right place. Let’s grow something beautiful together. 🌿 Sheila Joy Founder of Sage & Soil NV | Photographer | Educator | Nonnie | Dreamer
