Click here to read Me Ra's Rising Phoenix story of how God took her from a locked psychiatric ward to hosting a show on Disney, being the go-to photo expert for Live with Kelly & Ryan, publishing six books and inspiring audiences worldwide.
Me Ra's Rising Phoenix story starts from the most humble of beginnings. Before her photography books, she published Beauty Restored, the story of piecing her life back together after being date raped in college. Lost and alone, she slept out of her car in Seattle parking lots and eventually checked herself into a psychiatric ward in California at 19. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she'd be inspiring millions of viewers on Disney and talk shows, like Live with Kelly & Ryan, twenty years later.
In 2007, Sony invited her to become one of their first two women sponsored photographers. She is the author of half a dozen books and has raised two amazing kids with Brian. God still does the impossible. No matter how deep the pain goes, God restores joy even deeper. In return, she and Brian are masters at capturing the resilient Rising Phoenix in others.

Sipping chartreuse and green tea while looking at the most perfect white subway tile and hand painted signs. Driving through the mountains to Portland reminiscing about the best memories back home. Cozy sweaters, vintage demin, and Pabst while telling one of a kind love stories. The trials and tribulations of love, joy, and happiness. Lastly, champagne brunch and avocado toast while surrounded by the finest exposed brick, dreamcatchers, and maps to our souls. Dreamcatchers, macrame and 100 Days of Summer. Anthropologie trips and walks on the beach, love letters and secret admirers. Fall breeze, flannels, and hot cocoa. Whales and dinosaurs and handmade crafts. Salvage denim, antique leather bags, and the first time we watched Moonrise Kingdom.
