About Faith, Family & Me

I’m Lisa Baird

Welcome to my space. Come get to know me and learn about the journey I am on and how it may help you too…

Happily married for 39 years, my husband David is an Entrepreneur, Preacher, Economics Professor, and small business owner. As Christ-followers, faith is a huge part our lives. As a family, we served with my husband in the Christian Camp & Retreat Ministry for 17 years, as I homeschooled our 5 children who are now ages 18-33. They have blessed us with 8 beautiful grandbabies. We fostered 40 children over several years, and are strong adoption advocates.

I started Chenoweth Baird Design & Photography in 1985 and continue to enjoy capturing all the emotions. In 2021 I entered a new arena and now help women rediscover purpose & realize entrepreneurial dreams through online opportunities.

And in May of 2023, I began writing stories under the pen name, Eliza McJames (a lifetime dream), available now on Amazon.

I am also a Lymes and Autoimmune Warrior,

an Air BnB Hostess, a “Little Country, Little Classy”.

What I've found in my years is that we often get pegged into a specific role, and have a hard time stepping outside of that. But, we have dreams that go beyond that space...so why not try new things?

I went to college to become a Graphic Designer. I started my business when I graduated and did well. I loved design, but photography was a passion. After more than 20 years focused on design, where I used my photography, I moved into photography where I used my design skills.

Then I got sick. I lost several years as we sought answers.

So, why amd I now moving into new dreams?

Because I didn't think I would make it to this place in time - I was so sick. I wanted to help dig our family out of the medical debt caused by my own health, and I loved the idea that I could also help others find a healthier lifestyle while adding another stream of income. So, I share health and wellness opportunities. AND, the digital training to help you succeed! The training with the digital courses have helped me will all of my business endeavors. So, if you're looking to grow—I have several great options!

I wanted to help change our family legacy, and I wanted a new challenge at this place in my life, an almost empty nester who's put most of her energy into raising kids and homeschooling for the last 29 years while supporting my husband in ministry. I was feeling a bit lost, ready for something new and exciting in my life. And I found it when I stepped into marketing digital products, first through my Esty store (creating Bible journal templates) and then writing and designing products for the entrepreneur.

Now, I am writing women's fiction—sweet romance.

And I'm having a blast.

What dreams are you ready to go for?
