Jaded Rose Portraits

06/22/2026

I didn't know it at the time, but these two had previously lost their twin boys, and this sweet little “cookie in the oven” is their rainbow baby… another boy. 💙

Toward the end of their gallery, you'll see a moment where they were frosting cookies with blue icing. As he was decorating them, I remember saying, “you can go ahead and stop there,” and I moved us into the next set of photos.

I didn’t think anything of it. It was just a small moment of shifting between prompts.

Then after sending their sneak peeks, I received this message:
“And thank you sm for taking the photos with blue frosting. I didn’t say it at the time but I was thinking how the 3 blue cookies symbolize our 2 angel boys in heaven and the 1 in my belly.”

I had no idea.

But God did.

Those three little blue cookies weren’t planned. They weren’t posed with that meaning in mind. But they became one of the most meaningful images in their story.

I believe the Holy Spirit moved in that moment as a quiet reminder that their boys are seen, remembered, and forever part of their family. 💙💙💙

As I come up on 6 years behind the camera and celebrate the 1 year anniversary of opening my studio in downtown Morris, I’ve been reflecting on how much Jaded Rose has grown. 🥹

Over the next few weeks I’ll be asking many, many questions because I truly value your feedback. I want this next chapter to serve you well from the experience, to offerings, to packages (yes… even pricing 🤪).

Thank you for supporting this dream, trusting me with your memories, and allowing me to tell your stories. I’m so excited for what this next year holds. 🤍

Let us not forget that...
the cookouts, sunshine, kids laughing, slow moments with family all exist because somebody else sacrificed something first.

Let's remember to pause for a second and remember that freedom was never free. ❤️

Praying for the families carrying grief today, for the ones missing someone at the table, and for the people quietly carrying stories most of us will never fully understand.

Hold your people close today.
And maybe put your phone down long enough to actually be present with them. 🇺🇸
