My Story

Hey, I’m Rosie.

I was in third grade when I got my first camera—a disposable one. I spun around and around until I was dizzy, snapping light-headed pictures of wherever I landed.

I was enchanted.

Photography puts a pause on everything. It shows what is real and illuminates the magic in the passing moments of every day.

When I take photos, I’m looking for something that’s real and true and honest. Being the youngest of six kids, I have hardly any photos of my childhood. When my kids are grown, I don’t want them to share that same sentiment. A chronicle of their childhoods—the messy, unposed, truth of their growing up is a gift I intend to leave with them. A photograph captures something otherwise ephemeral that can be held for long after. 

Sharing the gift of memory with other families is a privilege I don’t take for granted, and getting to enter into another family’s space and capture a sliver of their lives is a great joy for me.
