Take a seat - Lets get to know each other
When I am not taking photos, meeting with clients, or doing the backend work for itj, I am a stay at home to my two beautiful daughters and a wife to my beyond amazing husband. Above all, I am a beloved daughter of Christ. My purpose with this business is to create art that represents your true beauty while also channeling my creativity to glorify my creator. After working with me, I pray that you are filled with the love and joy of Jesus - and also obsessed with your photos forever ;)
I started itj in 2021 after the birth of my first daughter, Astrid Rose. After she was born, I felt a strong desire to pursue a completely different plan than what I thought was meant for me. I put a pause on my plan of becoming a speech pathologist and dove head first into the world of photography. A year and a half later, I had my second daughter, Norah Beretta, and also went full time with my business.
The Lord has blessed itj far more than I could have ever dreamed and I am so stoked to see what else he has in store.
what brings me the most joy?
not my will
but yours
be done
What a gift this job is to me and my family. When I think about my purpose here on earth, it can be summed up by two words - seek joy. Through my walk with the Lord, I have come to realize that what he wants for you, me, and everyone else is relationship with him. By relying on Jesus for every area + aspect of life, I have been able to seek the joy in every moment.
I hope I can be a vessel of the Lord during our time together, whether that be by reminding you on your wedding day that it is not about the photos but rather the sacrament, or by inviting you into a moment of joy with your sweet little kiddos during a family session.
