ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHER:
Motto: My Camera and I witness God's Beauty! I love to capture pictures of wildlife and more! A picture of your beloved fur baby is worth a thousand memories, always held dear to your heart!
About Me: Hi! My name is Randee Mooney. Despite my being profoundly deaf, I rely on hearing aids. I’m a wife, a mother of two young kids, and a fur mom to two fur babies named Copper and Penny and two chickens named Daisy and Tulips! I’m a country cowgirl at heart, always up for adventures, nature, and animals and critters! I used to ride and work with horses, and my love for them still runs deep.
Meeting People: As an introvert and someone who is profoundly deaf, meeting new people can be challenging. However, being around animals brings me pure happiness and joy. Since getting my hearing aids at age 2, animals have been my best friends, closest companions, and sources of comfort.
Pictures: I specialize in pet and equine photography, capturing the bond between animals and their human! I also love photographing nature, wildlife, landscapes (both day and night), and macro shots of insects. When I click the shutter, I can’t wait to get home and edit the photos, bringing them to a movie-like life with my creative touch. With my graphic design skills, I can make the pictures look amazing and as natural as possible.
College: I graduated in 2014 with a certificate degree in graphic design and photography. From 2010 to 2022, I worked as a graphic designer in the equine industry. However, I decided to close that chapter to focus solely on photography!
What brought my passion? What made me fall in love with photography and sewing pet couture? Honestly, I believe it has to do with preserving my fondest memories with my grandaddy. He was a photographer and always had a camera in his hand, capturing our special moments. Let me capture your memories just like my grandaddy did for us! Let me capture those precious moments with your fur babies, creating memories that you’ll cherish forever! A picture of your beloved fur baby is worth a thousand memories, always held dear to your heart! And My sewing hobby, I being to always enjoyed buying pretty collars and bandanas for our dog we used to have named Miakoda, so I decided to design and make my own to get just what I like! Then my daughter love watching me making them so she join in with me!
MRS. QUEEN ANT:
How did I come up with the name Mrs. Queen Ant? I wanted something catchy and unique! Mrs. Queen Ant was the first name for this website because the colony revolves around the Queen Ant I wanted to add ants to share my learning experience of ants with you! haha oh a little about me! How did it start? This story involves a lot with my ant farm and family. hmm... let me take you back to Dec 25th 1994! I was 6 years old when I received my first ant farm. It was a Educational Insights Geosafari Ant Farm Factory, Multicolor!! My dad tried to help me get fire ants but he got ate up lol and my mom helping me with my 5th grade science fair, she got ate up too! They were amazed by how I didn’t get bit. I guess I was an ant whisperer lol! In Science fair, I won 1st place! It was a hard decision for the judges between me and another student to place overall. When I saw the ants close up and watched them dig tunnels for the first time… it just made my eyes gleam with excitement! Me being the one interested in ants so much got all my family and grandparents involved and interested in ants too! We read books and studied them all, it was so much fun! My grandaddy one morning surprise me with sugar ants and we learned a lot about them too! My mawmaw got herself a big peppermint jar and fill it up with dirt for the fire ants and we watched in amazement as they tunneled and built all the separate rooms! I was so enchanted that I had to discover all about them!!! As well as all the different types of ants!!! I have gathered many different types of ants: black carpenter ants, red ants, fire ants, leaf cutter ants, big head red ants, sugar ants, orange sugar ants all from outside around my home place. And then the harvest ants I ordered by mail. Those ants created a lot of memories with my family and they are my happy place! Most of the ants I mentioned above are names I gave them since I couldn't tell which one was really them when I was younger. As I grew older and met my husband, I introduced him to ants! We were out at my grandparents place looking for the sugar ant's when my husband dug up a queen ant! He got excited too lol It was fun!
This is my story and I would love to share my knowledge and experiences with you so just hit me up and lets dive into the world of ANTS AND CRITTERS!!!!
Award Winning!
