I went to school for graphic design/advertising and continue to use that as one of my artist outlet. After having children and bringing my camera to every sporting event, my love for picking up the camera just grew and grew. After my 4th kiddo and only girl, I decided to learn manual mode and my love for photography quickly overflowed into my daily life. I just love capture moments in life not just for myself but for all those around me.
My desire is to create authentic portraits for you that speak of love, joy and connection by envoking an emotion when you see it. What started as a hobby by photographing my children like an endless obsession, has become a total passion that balances my need for creativity. I love learning, growing, and continually developing and fine tuning my style. Photography has opened another window for me to share my creative vision while capturing cherished, authentic moments.
I specialize in children, families and high school seniors. If you want milestone memories with your loved one(s) that you will never get back, I would love to work with you!
Capturing life. Creating Art. Celebrating your moments in photographs.
I am a sports mom through and through. Odds are you will find me at a baseball our soccer field cheering one of my 4 kiddos on! We also like to go on adventures and spend time as a family whenever possible.
My latest passion and new personal purpose at this time in my life is being a foster dog mom with a local organization, Paws Across Pittsburgh. We dabbled and quickly foster failed our shelter dog, Delilah, but wanted to continue to help more dogs. My family loves fostering and saving as many dogs as we can (to avoid being euthanasized). I also help vaccinate our fosters when needed, and love to find other ways I can to give back to the rescue. It's been super fulfilling! If you feel inspired and want to learn more, feel free to reach out! I don't know when to stop talking when it involved fostering and supporting the rescue so you are forewarned ;)

"Jackie with Bella Rose did our family photos, she is so creative! My kids had a blast, which says a lot for the short attention span of a 3 & 5 year old. We got the best smiles and most beautiful family photos to remember this time by!"

"Jackie Love, owner of Bella Rose Photography came and did our pictures for fresh 48 after the birth of our daughter Nora. It was such an awesome experience and a memory in which we got to capture because of her. We were so lucky to have somebody who was so easy-going there to take our photos for our daughter. Jackie is nothing short of professional and was so patient with us (as we all know that newborns can be challenging at times). Jackie being a mom herself shared stories with us and kept us all calm to"

"Jaclyn did a phenomenal job with our daughter on several occassions. It did not matter her age, mood or season, she kept her engaged, smiling and always captured that special pic. Even in the "baby moments" of not sitting still, she could still manage to get a good shot. In my opinion, she is one of the best- from making the appt to helping recommend colors or outfits to managing a mobile baby to her really adorable props, she made it easy!"

"Jackie did our son's first birthday / smash cake session. She was very professional and attentive to detail from the moment I first contacted her clear through getting our final photos. She even helped with recommendations on picking an outfit and making sure the color schemes matched. Everything was ready to go as soon as we got to the shoot and she was very accommodating and patient with our son.
