I met Renee several years ago at Christ the King Church in Mankato, where she coordinated our Community Supper on Wednesday nights serving the greater area residents in need as well as church members, and whipped up breakfasts for Sunday gatherings. Whenever food was needed, Renee was there to help. ÂÂHer passion goes beyond the kitchen: she empowers communities in Kenya, securing sponsorships for education and sustainable projects like clean drinking water and food gardens.ÂÂRenee’s heart for helping others flourish is unstoppable. She inspires us all to live boldly and make a difference. Thank you, Renee, for your radiant impact!Â

I have had the privilege of photographing and working alongside Renee.
Her work ethic and the research beforehand contribute to her successful undertakings.Â
Yet she’s a natural in spontaneous situations.Â
She desires to collaborate, values others and emphasizes accountability for each to reach desired outcomes.
She approaches “problems” not as roadblocks but as opportunities for growth.
Her character has left an indelible mark on my journey in photography and life.Â
Getting out and experiencing nature has been an added bonus!Â

Renee Retzlaf’s Bloom Where You Are Planted sisterhood is a heartfelt space for women to network, grow, and rediscover purpose through authentic connection.
What began as a simple beachside conversation in Cozumel turned into something far greater—through our connection, Renee was introduced to The Centre of Love Foundation, opening the door for her to make a real impact in the lives of women and children in the Kibera slums. With her unique ability to provide nourishing, nutritional food as well as authentic connection, Renee made a meaningful connection, now friends a continent away.
This sisterhood isn’t just about finding community—it’s about blooming into purpose, wherever you’re planted.
Connect and see how you will bloom!Â
