HELLO FRIEND!
I am overjoyed that you stopped by! I'm Analise, your friend and photographer. My vision is for you to step in front of the lens, and treasure what was created. Not only treasure, but reflect upon, and pass down from generation to generation. I am passionate about creating, and that passion was birthed from seeing the theology behind making. Jesus is my rock, redeemer, and closest friend. Nothing compares to having the gift of serving Him through the very world He made. He is the one, the only one, who changes everything. I find fullness in creating alongside Him.
I began my journey with photography back in 2017. I had the opportunity to pick up a friend's camera, document some of her most important milestones, and discover the magic of creating. From there, the rest is history. Creativity has brought me closer to the Lord, brought me to forever friends, and even to new places on the globe. It has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
To summarize a highlight reel of life, the rush of early morning ocean dips, discovering new places, and long drives are things I live for, whether it is being in the moment, or documenting it. Surfing is one of the best parts of living on the coast. Life is a beautiful adventure, shaped by both highs and lows, and I am stoked to see what the Lord has in store next!
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

UNITING TRUTH, GOODNESS, AND BEAUTY
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
This is the verse behind our creating. It leads the heart and defines what we do. Our prayer is for this brand to be a place and a community where truth, goodness, and beauty are united. Growing up, these values were always taught. I not only can apply that lesson to everyday life, but our art as well. Our desire is to reflect this and live it out with intentionality, not only for the sake of life here on earth, but for the sake of eternity and the glorification of our Father in Heaven.

WHAT WE SHOOT + CELEBRATE
We are here to document the beauty, the richness, and the depth of your story, on a broad spectrum from intentional couples and families, to creative artisans, brands, and spaces, and everything in between. We celebrate inspired homemaking, passionate art, and a love for your people. Ultimately, the call of our making is to glorify God and dwell in His faithfulness through the moment that is captured. He wrote this story, and we are here to tell it, share the good news, and embrace His marvelous light everywhere we go.
THE THEOLOGY OF CREATING
From the very beginning, there was art. This art was from the very breath of God. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light." Genesis 1:1-3
And so it was.
Ever since, the creative nature of God has lived on, and will continue throughout eternity. From the Mosaic Law to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God was creating. Humankind was created in His image, and we can carry His light and love throughout all our lives. We create in our own, unique ways, and those unique ways correlate and make the body of Christ beautiful. We were made with individualized creative capabilities from writing and poetry, to pottery, painting, and filmmaking. It's up to us. Will we use our gifting to communicate truth, goodness, and beauty to this broken world?

A PHILOSOPHY BEHIND ART
We believe every great photo starts with a great story. From wherever you are, on the globe or in life, we're here to tell that story and transform it into art with deep and true authenticity. We're documenting the lives of humanity capturing the essence of who they are in God's miraculous creation. I see such wonder, beauty, and glory in His handiwork, and it brings so much peace and comfort. Everything from a vibrant field of wildflowers, to the majesty of the mountains, and waves crashing on the coast, to something as simple as a palm shadow during golden hour. This peace, this nostalgia, and most of all, this glorification of our King, is something I want to capture. Something I want each and every one of the frames to portray, and of course, mixed in with your love, your vision, and your story.
Creating is far deeper than pressing the shutter button or slathering paint on a canvas. It's a divine communication, expression, and privilege. It comes from a place of depth, and closeness with our creator. It is how we communicate His majesty.

SNIPPETS OF LIFE
Psalm 23
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Philippians 2:5-11
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me — practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."

Isaiah 40:28-31
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
