Hi there! I live in Sonoma County California with my high school sweetheart (husband of 15 years) and our two beautiful girls. We live in a multigenerational home and wouldn't have it any other way. My creative journey started as I discovered the hobby of scrapbooking. I have always loved the idea of documenting. Being able to capture my children through photos continues to be one of my favorite hobbies!
On a more personal level, I have always strongly desired, yet struggled, to find a way to personally connect with Jesus, while my husband, Jonathan, works in ministry and is full of light! Finally I found a way to connect to God in a way that was meaningful to me; using the gift of creativity HE gave me to glorify Him.
Shortly after discovering my passion, I started my company Illustrated Faith.
I knew if there was ever an opportunity to partner that it needed to be the right partners. This is special and I need whoever comes alongside me to realize the true meaning of my company and that the focus is on God.
When I first talked with Robin from Bella Blvd I knew RIGHT away she "got it.” Then I talked with Stephanie: Not only was she understanding of the brand, but she also saw what a huge impact we could have on our community. I feel so blessed and honored to work with such an amazing company like Bella Blvd, and I can't wait to see what our future holds. (Here’s your very first sneak peek….eeeek!)
It is our hope that when you see these products you will feel inspired to get deeper into the Word. Bella Blvd will make this process even easier, and equally inspiring, so that being creative while documenting what God is doing in your walk go hand in hand.
Stay tuned on Monday morning when the official Brand Announcement will be shared. You will learn exactly what we have been up to! ….and, just maybe you will have a chance to win the entire Illustrated Faith launch products before anyone else can get their hands on them! It’s going to be amazing!

I am in love with…

3 Things I never leave the house without….
My phone, mint lip gloss and sunglasses
Random facts about me…
I met my high school sweetheart on AOL (hello dial up) we got married two weeks after I graduated. I hardly ever wear actual shoes, sandals and flip flops are where it's at!!! I love the t.v. show "friends" and could watch it from start to finish over and over again. I think my kids are about the coolest people ever (but who doesn't, am I right?). I make about 14567 typos a day! And am horrible about proofing!
If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional, with whom would it be and why?
It would have to be one of my kids. I think it would be amazing to see the world through their eyes and would make be a better parent for the rest of my life.
What makes you happy?
I really love the small little every day moments. The way we snuggle in bed together before the sun rises or the way my husband can make me laugh until I pee, I mean that is really what life is about!
Tell us about one of your worst habits:
Sending out newsletters before I proof read them! HA! I am sorry. I get very excited!
How exciting! I love her work!!!!
