"Stepping beyond the familiar revealed a world of possibilities; my journey from Colombia to capturing life's precious moments taught me that our greatest growth lies just outside our comfort zone."
I'm Rosse, and boy, do I have a story for you!
You know how they say life's all about the journey? Well, mine's been quite the ride! Picture this: a young woman from Colombia, packing her bags and heading to the US with nothing but a dream to learn English and level up her skills. Yep, that was me – leaving behind everything familiar, from my family's hugs to my comfy job and daily routines.
Now, I won't sugarcoat it – that first year was a rollercoaster! There were moments when homesickness hit me like a ton of bricks. But you know what? Amidst all the chaos, something magical happened. I found myself surrounded by the most amazing group of friends that supported me, and suddenly, everything started clicking into place. It was like the universe was whispering, "You're exactly where you meant to be!"
Welcome to the Rosse Pacchioli Photography blog! This has been a long time coming. Photography can capture so much emotion, feeling, and happiness, but it is only half the story of why I began my photography company. A blog is the best way to capture the other half of this journey, deep diving into the ‘behind the scenes’ that brings my photos to life.
Please continue to check in each week to read about what’s been on my mind, and maybe some helpful hints that can help make your own pictures pop.

Rosse's Journey
2017? Best. Year. Ever. Seriously! It was a year of so many firsts – my first snowy New Year's (hello, winter wonderland!), first time wobbling down a ski slope (more falling than skiing, if we're being honest), and my first Fourth of July celebration (fireworks game strong!). Oh, and did I mention I met my husband that year? Talk about a plot twist! (We will leave this love story for another post, lol)
But it wasn't all party and play. I also got involved with "Women Build," which turned out to be the most rewarding volunteer gig ever. It really opened my eyes to the power of community and giving back.
Fast forward to today, and here I am, juggling life as a photographer, mom, wife, and entrepreneur. It's crazy, it's chaotic, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Photography? It's my perfect match. See, I've always been a bit of a perfectionist with a creative streak. Whether it was pulling all-nighters for college projects or dreaming up marketing campaigns in my previous life, I've always believed in giving 110%. Now, I pour that same energy into capturing those priceless family moments for my clients.
It's been about 10 months since I embarked on this photography adventure, and let me tell you, it's been wild! Balancing mom life, wife life, and boss lady life? There are days when I wonder how I'm keeping all these plates spinning. But then I look at my daughter, and it all makes sense. Becoming a mom showed me just how incredible it is to watch a family grow and change.
Every family I work with – whether they're sleep-deprived new parents or racing to keep up with teenagers – reminds me of one simple truth: love is the best gift we can give our families. It's what drives me to give my absolute best in every shoot, hoping to inspire that same dedication in whatever you're pursuing.
Looking back at photos of baby-faced Rosse from 2017, I can't help but smile. That year changed everything, setting me on the path to where I am today. Now, I get to help other families freeze their own special moments in time. How cool is that?
So, here's to new adventures, to stepping out of our comfort zones, and to capturing life's beautiful, messy, perfect moments along the way.
