About Rosie

Visual Storytelling is My Love Language

I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember. I used to photograph my toys as a kid, and once found my lost stuffed monkey Joe in a developed roll of film - still sitting in the tree where I'd left him. Photography helped me find what I'd lost. It's been my tool for seeing the world ever since.

When I got my first SLR in high school, everything clicked. I fell in love with the alchemy of developing film and the magic of not knowing what you'd captured until you did. I studied photography at Western Washington University, taught black & white film, and photographed Bellingham bands in basement venues.

I've always been a creative multi-hyphenate: DJ, writer, photographer, teacher, marketer. I've intentionally never niched down because diversity fuels my creativity.

Photography is where all my passions synthesize - my love of storytelling, my marketing background, my artistic eye, and my fascination with human behavior. I still shoot film alongside digital because it keeps me connected to why I fell in love with this work in the first place: the intentionality, the unexpected, the magic of slowing down.

Now I photograph brands, families, and weddings across the PNW. My marketing brain helps me strategize for brands, while my artistic side captures the real moments and the in-betweens. I work with people who value craft and artistry - who want images that will matter in 10 years, not just what's trendy today. You're looking for a creative partner, not a vendor following a formula. Visual storytelling is my love language, whether I'm capturing a family's laughter, a brand's personality, or a couple's quiet connection.

For people who value artistry

You’re looking for a creative partner, not a vendor.

You value craft over trends and understand that photography is both art and service.

If you're a brand, you need content that shows the real you. You understand photos are an investment in your business, not an expense. You want images that connect with your audience and tell your story - strategic and beautiful.

If you're getting married, you care about capturing candid moments and emotion. Happy tears, spontaneous joy, and the unexpected. You're hiring someone to tell your love story, not just photograph it.

If you're a family, you want photos that feel like your family. Genuine moments, laughter, hugs, chaos, and the joy of being together. Images that make you feel and remember the experience.

I shoot film alongside digital because it keeps me intentional with each frame. My marketing background helps me strategize for brands, while my artistic eye captures the real moments and the in-betweens. I bring both vision and experience to every session, creating images that will matter in 10 years, not just what's trendy today.
