Eliza Moonbeam Vintage was established in late 2012. I was depressed. I had no money. I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and there was no way I was going back to work at the Dillon’s deli!! Hays, Kansas deli = amazing to work at. Hutchinson, KS deli - NOT so much!! Wait, why am I talking about this?!

All I had was my camera and the vintage clothing I’d been collecting for years. And viola! Eliza Moonbeam was born. Out of pure necessity. I could not have imagined that I’d still be doing this 11+ years later! I had been doing fashion photography / style shoots with my friends for 5 years before Eliza Moonbeam, never thinking that it would eventually help me make a living in the way it does now.
