HELLO, I'm Rose.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the web! I live in Spokane, WA with my husband Pete, and 3 kids; Brody (4), Juniper (3) and Blair (1). It took us 5 years to have our son through IVF, so becoming pregnant with our girls was a miracle surprise. I adore my babies and also love my time to get away and WORK. But photography doesn't really feel like work to me; camera in hand, creating magic with you and your loved ones, it's pretty great. My camera has taken me from Southern CA, to Scottsdale, to NYC, to the coast of Scotland, and beyond. But I think Spokane is a pretty special place, with so many good photography locations everywhere. I know I will always crave travel and new experiences, but I equally enjoy a weekend walking to the local bakery, snuggling the kids, and catching up on quality time with my husband and friends. Really, my life is pretty simple and I love it that way. I just make sure there is a future trip on the calendar, big or small, to dream about. Can one equally love quiet and adventure? Seclusion and freedom? If so, that is me. An adventurous homebody.

My Style...

I believe photos should be looked and enjoyed on in real time, you will find many love filled frames throughout my home. Your photographs will be shown and enjoyed by your family for decades, so it is my belief that photography styling should be timeless. I stick to true skin tones and color temperature, avoiding trendy editing. I am drawn to bright, clean, and soft imagery, full of emotion. Connection and authenticity are highly important to me as a person, (I guess this makes me an enneagram 4, if you're into that!) I want your images to feel candid and real to who you are. I will also take time to direct your pose when needed. I choose to incorporate film photography into my work because it adds intention and purpose to how I shoot. And because I love it! The depth of tone and rich color it creates is truly unmatched. If you're wondering what I mean, most of the images you see featured on my website were created with film cameras. I also LOVE the power of digital photography, and use it often. Regardless of my camera choice, I simply love this gig and the process. Let's chat! xo, Rose

"Rose was wonderful - professional, flexible, warm, encouraging, and kind. She went above and beyond for us in many ways. She created a detailed timeline, and ensured we didn't have to worry about anything on the day. Rose made us both comfortable in front of the camera, providing direction for posed shots but skillfully blending in to the background during key moments, like the ceremony. And the photos themselves we couldn't be any happier with. Rose is terrific at capturing gorgeous photos to cherish."

My family is everything

I do this for them. I am a happier woman, wife and mom when I get to pursue my passion for art and business ownership. I am proud of the brand, client base, service, and fine art product I have cultivated over the past 13 years in business.


I would love to chat about adding you to the Urban Rose Family. I have a few openenings each season for new portrait clients and I take only 10 weddings per season. Most of my clients invest in portrait sessions every 1-2 years,

or as new milestones arise.
