Springfield, MO photographer, Bella Rose Images LLC is owned by me, Erica, but the inspiration behind it comes from my family. The name itself is my daughter’s namesake. I work during the week in the accounting world, and I get to spend my evenings and weekends on my photography business. It is not unusual for me to be answering e-mails or editing images late at night after I have put my daughter to bed. That mommy/daughter time is important to me.

I have a special place in my heart for children’s and family portrait photography. From newborns to high school seniors and everything in between, children are a priceless gift we are blessed to receive. However, we all know that gift is only temporary as the children grow up so fast! Time is one thing we can never get back. There is nothing anyone can do to go back and re-create their tiny little newborn or see their child walking for the first time again. But you can re-live that time if you have captured it in an image. That is why it is so important to capture images of your children now because once a moment is gone, it is gone…….forever.

I currently photograph on location only. On location can mean anywhere in the Springfield area or even your home. There are additional fees associated with Springfield City Parks and certain other locations such as the Japanese Botanical Gardens. Please contact me to determine if there is a fee where you would like your session to take place.

I am a member of Professional Photographers of America (PPA). I am dedicated to continually learning new aspects about photography and my membership with PPA  has proven invaluable in that regard.
