Yuba City Children's Photographer | {Macie}

Macie is the kindest, most polite and fun little girl! We had a great time traveling around town doing some fun new photos.

Last year I got to capture Macie and her little sister with their lovely mom, Chari. I feel so blessed to have returning clients again this year and will be seeing them again this fall for Christmas photos (yes, its that time of year again ALREADY!).

Yuba City Photographer | {A couple of shots of a couple of lovebirds!}

My AMAZING helper Kristin has been very busy that few months...her husband is in the Army and has been gone leaving her with both kids, work and a litter of new puppies to handle all on her own.

When he came home for the 4th of July, she requested some 'couples' shots...we've done family photos a few times now and some of her kids but this time it was all about her and the love of her life. We wanted them to be fun, flirty and a little bit sexy...just like my Kristin herself!

Yuba City Photographer | {Updates to the website!}

Make sure to check out the main flash site if you haven't already! I updated my splash page, all of my galleries, the details section...pretty much everything has had a mini make-over!

If you no longer see your family featured on my galleries, I do apologize. My work is evolving and growing and I want to keep my page as up to date as possible with my newer style and art.

On that note, if you would like to have a new & updated session done, please contact me soon! This summer is filling up fast! And, for returning clients ONLY, I am featuring a discount on an updated family session! This special will only be available from July 20-August 1 and will be heavily discounted to past clients who wish to update a family photo. Contact me for details!

I leave you with this photo of the "C Family" from Wednesday evening! So cute!

Yuba City Newborn Photographer | {Tiny Miracle}

Meet Claire. She is a miracle. Enough said. :)

Yuba City Family Photographer | {Evan wtih his Mommy & Daddy}

I think its a tie between Evan from the "Mc" family and Mila from the "B" family as to who is photographed by me more often...I love seeing my clients grow up and its especially special when its your friend's baby. Evan is 6 months and now almost 7 months and we had a great time doing a little traveling family session tonight.

Enjoy this handsome boy! He is sooo sweet!







And, yes, my obsession with sun flares continues...to me, summer is sun flares, bare feet, tan lines and family!

Yuba City Photographer | {Megan & her beautiful family}

Last night I had the privilege of photographing this gorgeous woman, Megan and her family. Megan is a girl I went to highschool with and is currently fighting her 3rd battle with cancer. She is so courageous and strong-- what an inspiration to us all!

She has 9 year old twins and a 9 week old new baby. Her and her husband are SO in love...you could just feel the love and support last night as we worked on capturing some family moments.

Enjoy your sneak peek "T" family! I hope to see you soon and capture the WHOLE family!









I have been dying to use this chair on a little baby for awhile now...he was the perfect choice:

Yuba City Photographer | {NEW Collections available NOW!}

After careful review and speaking with some local mom's, I redesigned my Collections. Previously, the 1st year collection was 3 sessions at various ages. NOW, its 4 sessions at various STAGES. Switching like this ensures that no stage of your baby's development goes un-noticed and un-photographed. We do a newborn session, a tummy time session, a sitting up session, a first steps session and a 1st birthday session. AND, a total bonus right now is that when you book and pay in full, you get a 5th SESSION TOTALLY FREE! The Stages Collection includes various prints, books, CD's and discounts on photo jewelry. Who could ask for more?

Well, since you asked, I did change my maternity/newborn package. Instead of just a short maternity package and a newborn session- you can now add on live birth photography (as graphic or modest as you desire) and make sure that those first breaths, first moments of life, first footprints...all of it is captured professionally and you don't have to worry about a thing except bonding with your new baby. I take a 'fly on the wall' approach to birth photography and only capture what is thoroughly discussed in our consultation. Its really a great way to capture all elements of your pregnancy, delivery and new baby.

Be sure to check out the Collections online at www.jessicacolephotography.com today!

Yuba City Senior Photographer | {JJ- Class of 2009}

JJ was the student speaker at his graduation at ACE in Wheatland and even though we didn't get his photos done before the big ceremony, we did manage to meet up last week and capture some amazing senior photos for him and his parents.

Already working and getting ready for college, JJ and his parents had me laughing through our entire session! Can't wait to see you all again for your family shoot soon!

Yuba City Children's Photographer | {McNewborn is now Mc-6 Months}

Little baby McNewborn from Decemeber is now Mr. Mc-6 Months. Where does the time go?

We got up nice and early the other day to capture his 6 month photos in my portable studio set up and he was SO cute for us...he even growls like his dinosaur!!! I love it!

Yuba City Newborn Photographer, Marysville Newborn Photographer | {More for the J Family}

No words...just some summer sun flares. My new obsession for this time of year. Well, that and new babies. =)

Marysville Newborn Photographer | {Little Trent}

This is little Trent (who wasn't so little at over 8lbs when he was born)...and isn't he a DOLL with all his dark hair? He has a darling big brother who is such a good helper too. I spent a nice day with them and captured their little guy, some classic 'baby in the hands' photos, some big brother and baby photos and some totally new stuff too. More to come from this gorgeous family! I can't wait to see them again soon.

Marysville Children's Photographer | {My babies!}

My girls were pretty bald for the longest time but I got to thinking the other day that I could get their hair into pig tails. With a little 'home studio' fun and a couple of clippies, we finally got some shots of the pigtails! FINALLY! After 19 moths of baldness and 'baby mullets', we have real pigtails!

Marysville Maternity Photographer | A day with the girls!

A week ago I got to go out with a good friend of mine and do some fun maternity photos. We had a great group of girls at various stages of their pregnancy and we got to try out some fun new ideas. It was so fun and I can't wait for future projects together.

Thank you to all our participants & I hope you enjoy!














And, of course, I have to include this photo of Rebecca...laying down on the job as usual, huh girl? ;)
