J Rosa Photography & Design

I am a portrait photographer, meaning that I specialize in capturing the essence of a person, a group of people, a place or a moment. Hence, the phrase...a portrait of life. It is my goal to create photography that goes beyond the typical and everyday snapshot. I can achieve this by utilizing photography tools and techniques that embody their own distinct quality. A portrait can transform a special time into a tangible keepsake, making the moment last beyond a lifetime.

You can trust that I know what works and what doesn't. I have a vast collection of props, backgrounds and equipment in order to go beyond what most photographers can offer or do.

Honored to be a recipient of the Fuji Masterpiece Award, two Kodak Gallery Awards, and recognized as "Springfield's Best Photographer" in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 and "Child Photographer of the Year " from the Professional Photographers of the Ozarks in 2014.
