“I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.”

Hi, I’m Ganessa.

Jamestown, ND based photographer. Big fan of the great outdoors and my spoiled rotten blue heeler, Penny. Intermittent reader of poetry. Houseplant hoarder and bonfire enthusiast. Wannabe homesteader.

I grew up on a little farm near Marion, North Dakota and spent my formative years surrounded by nature. From a young I age, I learned to appreciate the little things that are often overlooked in our busy lives. The everyday, boring, quiet things. There is so much beauty in simplicity.

I got my start in photography by spending time alongside my childhood horses and the wildlife surrounding my family home, then later developed a strong interest in urban exploration. I was roughly twelve years old when this interest was piqued, and now, at twenty-three, it’s still holding steady, however my favorite subjects to capture are in a constant rotation. I consider myself and my style to be very fluid- I am constantly learning, growing, and changing

Photos are heirlooms for future generations. They are moments frozen in time explaining exactly who we were and how we lived. They are proof that we loved and struggled and ached and rejoiced. We are all connected in some way, and I truly believe that every soul has a story worth telling. I’d love to help you tell yours.

If you want to get to know me better, ask me about firefighting, hermit crabs, my handsome handsome boyfriend Devin, or that time we camped in a bear den. Or like, just shoot me a message about photos, that works too.
