A Rose's Touch Photography

07/30/2025

I’m not crying… okay, I am. 🥹 These two summer sessions remind me exactly why being a lifestyle family photographer in Northeast Ohio feels like a gift.
Whether we're racing around Buhl Park or splashing at West Branch, these families taught me that real smiles can't be forced—and that movement brings humans alive.

Sarah’s words from the end of our session gave me chills:
“I haven’t hung a family photo in my house since 2019… but these are going up. Every single one.”

Scroll through to feel why I left these sessions with a full heart.

Eeek I can finally share with y'all my latest family sessions. When I tell you I lost my ever loving mind editing these.. They are just sooo cute

Two joyful, connection-filled family sessions in Northeast Ohio—one at Buhl Park and one at West Branch. See how we captured real smiles, wild energy, and golden light with families who just wanted to feel like themselves.

Okay but… this session at Buhl Park? I'm still not over it. The golden summer sun, their adorable outfits, and the kids bringing all the energy (and maybe one skinned knee 🫣)—it was pure summer magic. ✨💛
Even the tears didn’t last long because there was too much fun to be had.
Family chaos? Nope—this was family JOY.

☀️ Summer is flying by—and so is my availability for family sessions! If you want golden hour magic and memories like this, now’s the time to reach out.

✨ Swipe through Grace & Anthony’s storybook day ✨

From a bubble-filled entrance to a golden hour kiss, their Medberry Patch wedding was everything rustic, whimsical, and wildly romantic. I cried behind my camera more than once — between the sweet candle-lighting with their moms, the just married tractor ride, and Grace’s dad twirling her during their dance 😭💕

The way these two looked at each other all day? Pure magic.

📸 Full gallery is officially live + their blog post just dropped with all the behind-the-scenes sweetness.

Cyrus & Chloe 🌿✨
Their engagement session gave me full-on Hobbit meets Narnia energy—whimsical, peaceful, and just a little bit otherworldly.
The sun was glowing, spring was showing off, and I could not put my camera down. It felt like stepping into a storybook. Pure magic.✨

YES. Bring the dog. Always. 🐾💕
If your pup is part of your family (and let’s be honest—they are), they’re 1000% invited to your session. Photos should feel like you—and if that includes sandy paws and puppy kisses? Even better. Drake understood the assignment.

Joy in motion 💕🌿
This Buhl Park garden session had everything I love: sunshine, sibling giggles, and the kind of playful, wholehearted energy that makes family sessions so special.

They kept me on my toes and every moment was pure magic✨✨

Grace & Anthony | 05.24.25 ✨

From the moment they locked eyes at the altar, it was clear—Grace and Anthony couldn’t wait to say I do.

The way they lit up as they became husband and wife said it all. Their joy was so contagious they literally ran down the aisle together afterward—beaming, laughing, and ready to start forever hand-in-hand.

The Medberry Patch gave us the dreamiest ceremony backdrop, and a few curious neighbor horses wandered over mid-day to add their charm to portraits (truly a photographer’s dream). Laughter filled the air during speeches, a little icing found its way into the cake cutting moment, and we ended the night under a sky of sparkler light.

Just a little peek into a day that felt like magic from beginning to end.

✨ Joe & Samantha ✨
5.17.25 at the stunning Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens 🌿

It poured all morning… and then like magic, the skies cleared just in time for their ceremony—and stayed that way until the very end of the reception 🌧️➝☀️

Joe cried. Sam absolutely radiated. During portraits, they couldn’t stop giggling and sneaking little looks at each other—pure joy, pure love 💕 Not a dry eye in the crowd as they said “I do.”
