Howdy! I am Jeanette-The story of a storyteller.

Colorado native, Texas transplant, and marketer with over 20 years experience. The basics- but if we work together I want you to know more.

Growing up my grandma was always ready with camera in hand. She was amazing. Not only did she capture our family during all the happy moments, I have a series of photos of me at Easter throughout the years crying because my big brothers got more eggs. I look back at these photos and laugh so hard. She captured emotion and I want to do that too.

I was given my first camera at 10, a gift from my grandma to take with me on a summer trip with my grandparents across 5 states. It was then that I realized she was always behind the camera, so I began taking photos of her. I wish we had more.

Photography became important to me, not only professionally, as I became a photojournalist for a local NBC affiliate, but to capture moments before they were lost. Loss and grief always have a profound impact on someone and as hard as it was, it did teach me the power of photography.

Through my work in television, I was afforded the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. on an Honor Flight to follow a few of our local WW2 heroes as they toured their monument.

That was a highlight; most work in news was hard. Emotional. Murder trials, fires, accidents, shootings. I came to the realization that I didn’t just want to capture people on the worst days of their life. It was then that I moved to Creative Services. This is where my passion began for helping small businesses. I created tv commercials, graphics, and logos for local mom & pop shops.

During that time, I began volunteering for a local non-profit to help with the Zombie Crawl event and was quickly put to work marketing the event. I then got infected with wanting to be in the nonprofit sector and helping to serve the public.

The good and bad of nonprofit work:

Good: You truly know you make a difference and can see your impact. It has been extremely rewarding.

Bad: Funding is hard, especially in the post COVID world and inflation. Not knowing when or where the next donor is coming from can be a scary place to be, but yet, I’ve always kept going. The good times are only celebrated because we’ve experienced the hard times.

Here I am now, ready to do what I, and I will repeat that one more time, what I have wanted to do for over 10 years. I am stepping out on my own. I couldn’t be more excited and scared at the same time. Feel familiar?

When I work with you, know that your success is my success and even through hard times, I can’t show up and not give 100% to what I do.

If I feel like someone that you would want to team up with and create some magic for your business, contact me!
