following wherever your love story leads me
Hey, I’m Jenna! I was raised in Branson, Missouri and moved to Springfield, Missouri two years ago. I love a lot of things and a lot of people, and I love them with my whole heart. I am a proud dog mom to Moose, my mini Aussie. He is my world! I enjoy listening to folk music with the windows down, sipping on iced white chocolate lattes, and going on spontaneous trips with friends. When I’m not hanging out with friends or working, you can find me serving in my local church or at small group. Another fun fact about me is that I have been a Swiftie ever since her Debut album; if you are ever in my car, there is a 95% chance that Reputation will be on full blast!
A couple years ago, I felt God calling me to full-time ministry. Going into my senior year of college, I changed my major, I left the medical field, and said yes to God. After being an intern at my church, I fell in love with people and the Lord’s love for people. After months of praying and waiting for God to open up a door to ministry, I stumbled upon a cheap camera on Facebook in summer 2022. Intrigued, I bought it, not knowing anything about photography. From the first click of the shutter, I was hooked! I began teaching myself and very quickly (and unexpectedly) grew. Within four months, I quit my 9-5, went full time, and made my business official!
Through this journey, the Lord has taught me to fall in love with the in-between moments and the details that others usually overlook. He taught me that full-time ministry isn’t a job title exclusive to a church; full-time ministry is what we are all called to, and what I now do every day. I am so blessed with this business and the opportunities that come with it.
Fun facts about me
01. Faith
My faith is the foundation of everything I do. Surrendering my life, along with this business, was the best decision I have ever made. I dedicated this business to Him and making His name known. My prayer is that clients and friends taste the goodness of the Lord throughout every stage of working with me. The Lord has provided a platform where I can serve people, love them well, pray for their relationship/marriage, and be the salt and light. Thank you Jesus!
One of my favorite verses is Romans 10:14-15 which reads, "How, then, can they call on him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about him? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can they preach unless they are sent?"
This verse serves as a daily reminder in my life that peoples' lives are at stake. It prompts me to have an eternal perspective, and view every person as someone who will either go to heaven or hell. One mention of Jesus can change someone's eternity forever. I will never be quiet about what Jesus has done!

Fun facts about me
04. Education
My whole life, I dreamed of being a trauma surgeon. After watching my first surgery when I was 15, to working in the operating room in college, I fell in love. I enrolled as an honors student at Missouri State (go bears!) and had my mind set on graduating with a Bachelors of Science in biology, and then minoring in chemistry and psychology. It was TOUGH.
My junior year, I was feeling called to go into ministry and leave the medical field behind. My fear of lack of parental support held me back. After praying for clarity and boldness, God took the reins and gave me a wake-up call. I was involved in a car accident the summer of 2022, which resulted in neurological issues that I still deal with to this day. The brain trauma I experienced forced me to drop out of organic chemistry II and microbiology at the start of my senior year of college. This set me back a ton, and I would have graduated late. I ended up switching my major to Bachelor of General Studies, with an emphasis in biology, religion, and psychology. This was the only option I had in order to graduate on time.
This led to a lot of unknowns, and the devil filled my head with doubts. How would I ever be in the medical field with a general bachelor's degree? Very shortly after starting my senior year of college, I picked up photography, and the rest is history! The Lord taught me how to use a mundane job as a ministry outlet, and I am forever grateful for that.

Fun facts about me
05. Family
I have a pretty small immediate family - my mom, dad, and two younger siblings. My siblings and I are 8 and 10 years apart, so the dynamic growing up was different. I am so blessed to have such a loving and caring family!
My mom has been a labor and delivery nurse her whole life, and just recently switched to cardiac rehab. She has been my steady place and comfort, constantly encouraging me in Christ and being the light during the darkest times of my life.
My dad went to school to become an engineer, and when we moved to Branson, he started his own contractor business! He is a one man band who does it all - HVAC, plumbing, electrical, construction, anything! He is where I learned a lot of my business models from. Who needs a business degree when you have a Brad?

Meet taylor
Hi there! My name is Taylor and I’m a wedding and portrait photographer! I’m from the STL, MO area, but I currently live in Springfield with my husband, Daniel. I graduated with my degree in Psychology, but landed in Education. Despite all of that, I still did not feel like I was fully where the Lord wanted me. I felt a pull to go full-time with photography and to trust Him with the rest! After the '23-'24 school year, I will be a full-time photographer, which is something I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl! I am a HUGE extrovert and love getting to know new people so this is a perfect fit for me! I know that the Lord doesn’t call where He won’t lead, and I am so very thankful that He has called me to this and will continue to lead me in it. Apart from teaching, I am also a head cheerleading coach, which I plan to continue to do for the foreseeable future! If that’s not proof I will be your biggest cheerleader- I don’t know what is! Let me cheer you on in whatever life season you’re in!!

Meet elissa
My name is Elissa! I am a 22 year old photographer that lives in a smaller town in Missouri, but photography has taken me so many places. That’s something I can only thank Jesus for. Jesus is the center of my life and I will live the rest of my life to glorify Him. I like to use my photography as a ministry, and as a way to praise His name as well. God called me to be involved with teens ministry at my local church and it’s something I cherish so much. I am also a local substitute teacher for the district I live in! I have been photographing weddings and love stories since the summer of 2021. I absolutely adore taking photographs and giving people the opportunity to relive some of their most important moments in their lives. From a young age, I loved documenting in any way, whether it was writing, drawing something, or photographing. That’s why I love documenting wedding days so much. I thank God that He led me to be a photographer and I fully believe His hand was in it from the beginning.

Meet madalyn
Hi hi hi, I’m Madalyn. I’m a bit of an extrovert and tend to keep the energy up in any room I enter. I think that the combination of my love of people and stories is what really drew me into the wedding industry. I love Red Bull, Taco Bell, the color pink, and spending my time with all the people I love. Photography is definitely where I found MY thing and I’m just thankful I get to be a part of peoples lives on a day that is so fundamental to their entire life story. Outside of photography I work a full time job in the Dental Insurance field and enjoy the diversity that it brings to my life. I’m also an almost-college-graduate {really holding onto that almost} and a pet mom to a mini zoo some days. I love traveling, large cities, and creating a space for people to just come as they are. I’m thankful to be here, to get the opportunity to know you and hope that our paths cross sometime in the near future!
