I’m Anna—based in Des Moines, Iowa—and married to my best friend, Garrett. Our story began early, meeting in preschool and growing up together before finally finding our way to each other in high school (after a very committed stint in the friend zone lol). We got married when we were twenty, and marriage has truly been the sweetest gift to us both.
We have three cats—Milo, Timmy, and George—eight chickens (that I am absolutely obsessed with by the way), and our baby boy, Silas. He’s one year old, endlessly joyful, and definitely keeping us on our toes these days.
I am admittedly a grandma hobby girl. When I’m not working, you’ll find me immersed in slow, grounding rituals—sewing, puzzles, and time spent in the garden—always with an iced vanilla latte close by. I’m endlessly drawn to beauty in its quiet forms: the way light moves through a room, how lines emerge naturally through architecture. how color and texture speak to one another, in the act of a seed becoming something living and full. I draw inspiration from creation, seeing in it the care and goodness of a God who creates with purpose. Beauty reveals itself in gentle, unassuming ways and we have the privilege of being a witness to it all.
And that’s where you come in.
Your story holds beauty of its own—layered, meaningful, and worthy of being seen. My work is about noticing what might otherwise go unseen, and preserving it with care.
So let's look at things through my perspective. Let’s honor the quiet moments that deserve to be remembered. Let's notice, together.
