Meet the Photographer
Adopted at birth, & I am nothing but grateful today. Born in Texas, raised in Des Moines, IA! Grew up loving & playing basketball until the day I made my way to the stage! I love to sing, love to worship.
I spent 7 years as a dental assistant after graduating from Waukee High School in 2011. I loved working in the dental field, the career I thought I’d retire from. Then one day, all it took was one desire that the Lord put on my heart, one dream, & receiving what God had planned for me! Here we are 6 years in & I’ve been taking photos for families, couples, very special wedding days, volunteering at my church, & being able to capture other small businesses & events through my photography!
I’ve always wanted to be able to serve in ministry. Whether that be for young women, adults, youth, etc.. & help serve a community where recovery support for mental health & addiction is needed. My journey in life, my testimony, it’s something I’ll always share. I struggled for years with my mental health, postpartum anxiety & depression, trauma, divorce, abandonment, & addiction. I’ve lived those day of not wanting to live out my purpose that God has planned for my life. My life today is free from all of that pain, all of that suffering because of the Lord. Taking everything in life one day at a time, sharing my redemption story & what God has done for my family & I. You can live a life that is full of hope, full of love, full of LIFE. I choose to live a live where my foundation has been built through faith in Christ. It has been shared with me that I am never alone, & I hope after meeting me, you’ll know & feel that you yourself are never alone. God bless you!
