Telling the stories that shape our community.
Prescott Woman Magazine is Northern Arizona’s premier women-focused media platform, dedicated to celebrating the voices, stories, and impact of the Prescott Quad Cities. What began as a lifestyle magazine has evolved into a dynamic, digital-forward brand rooted in storytelling, connection, and community uplift.
We spotlight the women who lead, create, serve, and inspire — entrepreneurs, artists, educators, advocates, and changemakers whose work shapes the place we call home. Through powerful profiles, thoughtful features, and meaningful conversations, we go beyond the surface to share stories that matter.
Today, our storytelling lives across multiple platforms. Through the She Spark Podcast, we amplify real conversations around leadership, purpose, growth, and connection. Through the Prescott Woman Awards, we honor women whose courage, compassion, and contributions make a lasting difference. And through Portraits with Purpose, we combine storytelling and service, using photography to give back and uplift local nonprofits.
More than a magazine, Prescott Woman is a movement — a trusted platform for women’s voices, a connector of community, and a catalyst for positive change. We believe stories have power, visibility creates opportunity, and when women rise, communities thrive.
Join us as we continue to celebrate Prescott — digitally, boldly, and with heart — one story, one spark, and one woman at a time.
Getting the Epic Shot
Kimberly Marsh never planned to start a photography business. Now, a decade in, she said during a recent interview, “I love it.”
Kim specializes in portraits and personal branding—and doing things differently.
Shortly after she started photographing people, others would see the photos and say, “I can see their soul in that picture,” or, “I feel like I know them,” or, “I can see straight through them.”

A Decade of Dancing
Behind the spotlight lies a deeper purpose. Dancing for the Stars is more than a show; it’s a lifeline for the Clubs’ youth programs. Funds raised directly support initiatives that provide safe spaces, mentorship, academic support, and enrichment opportunities for local children and teens. The event itself is a celebration of community spirit—a testament to how collective effort creates new opportunities and sparks meaningful change.
A Vital Connection
The term “philanthropist” often conjures images of wealthy individuals donating money to important causes. Billionaires are frequently highlighted in the media for their headline-making contributions to universities, nonprofits, disaster relief efforts, and more. Although these donations are generous and critically important, philanthropy extends well beyond the elite and encompasses so much more.
Philanthropy is the desire to promote the welfare of others; it is the expression of generosity in ways great and small. Our friends, family and neighbors undertake acts of generosity every day. Their altruism sustains our communities, whether it’s a monthly ten-dollar contribution to a beloved cause or a significant bequest made by a family. What if you wanted to continue supporting your favorite charities after your lifetime? Or you wanted guidance on where your philanthropic contributions could make the most impact? This is where the Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) can be the most beneficial.
Diane Iverson – 2020
Raised on a cotton, alfalfa, and dairy farm in the small San Joaquin Valley town of Kerman, California, climbing trees and catching frogs in the irrigation ditch was a normal part of Diane Iverson’s childhood. They also were a solid foundation for her lifelong curiosity about nature, a dominant theme in her work.
‘Your Unique Strengths Matter’
Prescott Woman magazine chatted with Natasha Baydakova of Medina Hospitality to find out what makes her enjoy being part of the Prescott Downtown Partnership and how it benefits her career.
The Summer of Adventure
The two most important questions of the school year: “What did you do over summer break?” and “What are your plans for summer vacation?” At the end of every school year, kids plan and prepare to make stories throughout the summer season. To find that thing to do, to experience what comes next, and to capture that elusive feeling of adventure.
Summer vacation is filled with so many exciting moments and traditions for kids and families to look forward to. At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Arizona, we are proud to celebrate one such tradition where all kids can explore and grow and create their own stories to share every year upon their return to school.
The Boys & Girls Clubs are committed to providing the best thing to do after school, and that’s not just after the school day. As the 2023-2024 school year comes to an end, the Clubs are excited to announce our Summer Day Camp for 2024. It’s eight weeks of fun, excitement, and camp for all kids in our community.

Basking in Arizona Sunsets
Summer evenings in Prescott are magical. The sun sets over the mountains, the temperatures cool down, and the sky is painted with hues of orange and pink. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or enjoying a quiet night with family, a well-designed outdoor space can enhance these moments. Here are some tips for creating an inviting outdoor area perfect for those magical summer evenings.
A ‘Balanced’ Retirement
Your retirement is here! It’s time for travel, hiking, fishing, gardening, golf, and whatever else your ideal golden years bring. The last thing you want is an unexpected setback, like an accidental fall.
According to the National Institute on Aging, the risk of falling—and fall-related problems—rises with age. In fact, more than one in four people aged 65 or older fall each year.
Statistics show that the rate of fall-related injury and death is even higher in northern Arizona, where we deal with a greater number of specific risk factors such as hills, unpaved streets and trails, historic homes with wood floors and staircases, and icy streets and sidewalks in the colder months.
While it’s tempting to give in to the fear of falling by avoiding activities such as shopping, walking, or socializing, it’s important to stay active to keep strong and healthy. There are many simple things you can do to decrease your risk of an unexpected fall.
A Dream Come True

Home is Where the Candlelight Is
You probably remember the phrase, “Home is where the heart is.” Candlelight makes a house a home, doesn’t it? It bids you welcome. It heralds the beginning of the evening with a whisper. Candlelight signifies that all will be well.
