Southern Illinois' Classic Portrait Photography

Genuine. Priceless. Real.

Storytelling


I want to produce images with soul. You know, the type of images that are real with raw emotion. I believe that a classic edit is truly timeless. I prefer to keep my work and my edits as authentic and true to life all while still adding my own unique spin. I live for those sun flares. There is something truly magical about that ‘golden light’ shining through the clouds and trees. It makes me giddy when I get ‘THE SHOT’ just right!


I like to think of myself as a Storyteller. I am passionate about capturing the joy and love shared on your most special days in the most comfortable and stress-free way possible. I strive to capture every detail, no matter how big or small they may be. Whether you want to remember your family as they are now or if you’re getting married, these moments happening in your life matter. Each moment from the smiles, the laughter, the tears, and the love. Everything should be remembered. You can sit back and relax, be present and take in those beautiful moments. As for the rest, that is what I am here for. I will be your friend who helps you preserve and organize your story because you deserve to remember those sincere, everlasting moments!


Together, we can tell YOUR story!



I ALWAYS LIKE TO MEET THE PEOPLE I'M GOING TO PHOTOGRAPH.

PHOTOGRAPHY CENTERED

AROUND AUTHENTIC EXPERINCES


THE EXPERIENCE


Choosing a photographer to work with your family is finding someone who can connect with you and your family, make sure you look your absolute best for the images, and create pictures that you will cherish for a lifetime. 


You’re looking for that person to be your mirror, someone you trust to pose you and the other members of your family in a way that really resonates with who you are and highlights the love you have for each other! 


Photo shoots can be overwhelming at times; choosing outfits, figuring out locations, picking a time that works with everyone’s schedules… I get it! Allow me to step in and help with this process and be a sounding board for your ideas! 


When you arrive for your session, I want to give you the confidence knowing that this experience is exactly what you signed up for! Maybe you have a hard time getting good photos of your family or maybe you’ve never in them because you are the one taking them. I will be there to get real, natural images for you to always look back on. I cannot wait to work with you!!!

When it comes to a photographer knowing "their stuff" Rose Lee is you gal. It was a breeze getting to work with her from the first point of contact to the delivery of my gallery! We are both awkawrd when it comes to picture taking but Rose Lee made it so simple, enjoyable, and memorable. I love looking back at my pictures from our engagement session and have nearly every photo printed and hanging on my wall!

I cannot believe the blessing that Rose Lee is when it comes to photography. She went above and beyond anything we could have ever predicted a photographer could be. Every detail from the tiniest to the biggest, she nailed it and then some. Her time and talent shows through in her art. If you're looking for a photographer who is personable, she is your girl!

I knew the moment I spoke to Rose Lee that she was going to be the photographer I wanted. She was a joy to work with. She went above and beyond when it came to the outfit ideas, the locations we photographed at, the way she made us laugh the whole time. Her whole process was a breeze. The best choice we ever made was picking Rose Lee as our photographer.

KAITLYN + TJ

There aren’t enough words to describe how lucky we were to land Rose Lee. She was a blessing throughout the whole process! And not only when it came to the images, some of her organizational insights were extremely useful too! If you’re looking for someone who can take you back to your wedding day when you’re looking at the photos, and make that very day easier for you, Rose Lee is definitely the one!
