Hi, I'm Jess.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm the photographer behind Isabella Rose Photography, and for me, this has never been just about taking beautiful pictures. It's about preserving the moments that become your family's history—the laughs you didn't plan, the quiet glances, the excitement, the chaos, and everything in between.

I picked up my first DSLR while we were stationed in Florida as a Navy family back in 2009. What started as a hobby quickly turned into something I couldn't imagine my life without. Over the years, I've had the honor of photographing weddings, growing families, newborns, seniors, engagements, and all of life's milestones.

When I'm not behind the camera, I'm at home in Michigan with my husband, Bill, and our two daughters. They're my biggest inspiration and the reason I understand just how quickly life changes—and why photographs become more valuable every year.

If you're worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, you're not alone. Almost everyone tells me that before their session. My goal is to make the experience relaxed, fun, and comfortable so you can focus on being yourself instead of worrying about posing. The best images happen when you're simply enjoying the people you're with.

Whether I'm photographing your wedding day or a family session, I want you to leave feeling like you spent time with a friend—not just someone you hired to take pictures.

People often ask where the name Isabella Rose Photography came from. Long before we were parents, my husband and I had already picked out names for our future daughters: Isabella Snow and Willa Rose. As life took us across the country as a Navy family, those dreams changed a little, and when our girls were finally born, they became Ella and Willa.

Looking back, it feels like such a coincidence that we ended up with the two little girls we'd always dreamed of, and a photography business I'd always dreamed of too. Somehow, the name Isabella Rose found exactly where it was meant to be.

I can't wait to help tell your story, too.
