Rooted in Faith

Capturing families, seniors, and real moments.

Hi, I’m Amanda!

The heart behind the camera

I’m a ranch wife, mama, foster mama, and photographer based near Verndale, Minnesota. I love capturing real life as it unfolds — the quiet moments, the deep connections, and the memories you never want to lose.

Families, seniors, and the seasons of life you never want to forget.

life on the ranch, behind the scenes, and every session in between.

In the Dirt & Dust

The dirt, the horses, the nerves, the proud moments, and everything happening just outside the chute. Browse the gallery and find the photos that feel like your day.

Faith in Action

Using the gift God gave me to love and serve others.

Seen & Celebrated

Senior year is a milestone every child deserves to have remembered. As a foster mama, I know there are times when photos cannot be publicly shared, but that does not make their story any less important. I offer no-cost senior sessions for youth in foster care so they can feel seen, celebrated, and have photographs that belong to them.

Held With Care

Some moments are incredibly hard, but still deeply worthy of being remembered. I would be honored to offer no-cost remembrance photography for families experiencing infant loss, creating space for tenderness, prayer, and photographs that honor a life so deeply loved.

Ready to plan something meaningful?

Whether you’re planning family photos, celebrating a senior, or looking for photos from an event, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.

Rooted in Faith

Anchored in Him through every season

Anchored In Him Images is more than a business name. It is a reflection of my faith and the foundation behind the way I see life, family, and the stories I am trusted to capture. Through the joyful seasons, the hard seasons, and all of the beautiful ordinary moments in between, God remains steady in my hope is to create photographs that do more than simply show what a moment looked like. I want them to hold the feeling of it — the love, the connection, the strength, and the grace woven into your story.
