About Me

Finding Inspiration in The Journey

Hey! I’m Anessa—26, based near Buena Vista, Colorado—living with my husband Max, our two dogs, and two horses. I love exploring the West, meeting new people, and soaking in God’s beautiful country.

Photography is a deep passion of mine, and even while working full-time at 51:10 Ranch, every moment behind the camera sets my soul on fire as I connect with incredible people in breathtaking places.

I bought my first camera when I was 14 with the very first paycheck I earned. My passion for photography had started growing even before then, but making my dream a reality lit a fire in me. Since then I've tried to take every opportunity I get to explore and capture the world around me.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:14-16
