Behind theBusiness
about
A mix of creative & business!
I'm organized, strategic and planned... but also wildly creative and fun!
I am a mother, wife, female founder of 3 businesses and entrepreneur. That's a lot of roles but I LOVE them all!
Hello! I’m Tracy Ann and I empower people by cutting out the confusion and giving clarity to anyone wanting to start, grow or understand their small business.
I have been encouraging others to be confident, joyful, beautiful, and alive through my photography services for over a decade and now that dream is growing bigger!
I launched my first business “Fully Alive Photography” in 2006 after graduating with a degree in painting and film. My heart has always been to call out beauty and authentic self-love while encouraging others to live fully alive and find joy in all they do.
I officially launched my second business "Finding Joy Consulting” in 2020 out of my heart to empower others to start, understand and grow their small businesses. in 2023 we rebranding under "The Fully Alive Agency" as "Fully Alive Creative" just to keep all the Fully Alive consistency to all our brands!
My main course LAUNCH is a hands on everything-you- need workshop designed to cut out the confusion and give clarity to anyone wanting to start or understand their small business. This course covers all my key strategies and business techniques as well as time management, healthy work boundaries, legal basics, branding, social media, taxes and more in every day simple language. It’s also loaded with local companies that can help you!

about The Founder
I have a wonderful team of humans supporting me behind the scenes!
MATEO: Junior Assistant
My 10 year old son is an employee for the "family" business! He can be found on family photoshoots creating reels content and helping kids smile! He can also be founding sorting paperwork, bouncing creative ideas off me and other little but needed tasks around the office.
IZZY: Assistant
Izzy is an ASU student and joined the Fully Alive Finding Joy team in 2021. She can be found on most shoots creating reels content & carrying around my gear! She can also be found in the office culling photos and other office work. She also often volunteers as a fill in model whenever needed!
DALLAS: Intern
Dallas is also an ASU student and joined the team in August of 2022. She will wrap up her internship in Feb 2023. Dallas can be found second shooting, creating reels content, hauling gear, setting up for shoots, and doing office admin work!
Team
Meet The
I have been married for 15 years! Nate is a LOT of fun to be around, full of personality, imagination, wisdom and just the right amount of humor.
We have a little one around the house. Mateo is my miracle baby that is now a little boy. What joy and challenges he brings to my life.haha. Parenting is a WHOLE thing. He is strong-willed and challenges me. This has built my patience and tolerance for insanity. He is a bundle of energy, which keeps me on my toes, he is kind and creative. The best combo of perfectly wild and cuddly. I’m more than excited to be here helping to shape the kind of man he will become.
We also have Japanese "daughters"! We are a host family for a homestay program. We host our daughters anywhere between 1 month to 1 year while they study at ASU. Missing them this year due to COVID but hoping they will be back soon!
Family
LOVE WINS AND JESUS KNEW LOVE LIKE NO OTHER. His example of love over and over again forms who I am.
What a great story of unfathomable love & humility. God of the universe became a poor, outcast human in order to spread love and break the distance between us and him. To give us LIFE and life to the full (hense "Fully Alive"
So my faith and life is truly is guided by the radical example of the life of Jesus. -Flipping tables against injustice, creating love where there was none, giving a voice to the oppressed -women, children, homeless, and all races & tribes.
This is a message of freedom and equality and love- and it was RADICAL for the time.
I would be a fool to say I am not WHO I am because of God. My faith is the reason for my moral compass and every decision I make in my life.
I don't talk about this much on my site, because I know the Christian faith has gotten a lot of things wrong over the years, and never want anyone to get the impression that I am in any way judgmental.
I honestly don't believe that anyone has gotten it wrong. I support other faith systems or people who don't have faith at all. I would consider myself a Christian Universalist.
My Faith

I love reading! Mostly young adult post-apocalyptic fiction books. Some personal development books too.
Podcasts & Audio Books... because I have ADD. And listening is KEY for learning. If you want to know what I'm listening to or reading shoot me an email!
Playing my ukulele, doing puzzles, and even playing animal crossing and stardew valley on the nintendo switch takes much of my free time.
FUN, LEARNING & UKULELES

Okay. So gardening and dirt! Being outdoors and working with my hands, I love it! Yard work, gardening, building things. You can often find me building things like desks or shelves out of wood or adobe-ing a wall.

NERDY NOTE: I am a Ravenclaw. I value structure, wisdom and personal development. I am a lover of administration and strategy …I’ll task the hell out of you if you come near me. (My husband has learned to stay away when I’m in work/task mode)

about our clients
Does this sound like you? Inquire with us.
Our clients are seekers of life giving freedom. They want to build their life upon their dreams
The best client for us is the client that dreams of being an entrepreneur but feels incredibly lost in the daily in and out of how to make that life a reality. Or maybe they are living the dream but lost in the details, scattered, and unable to find joy in the daily flow of entrepreneurship.
I share love and joy while supporting small businesses and tip and tricks and encouragement weekly.
