No words...just a peek at what I have been up to!

Ok, maybe a couple of words....the last photo is of my dad and my girls...a request of his for his new office. The other adorable kiddos are with their mom (my amazing assistant who is MOVING...boo!).

Blessings by Design

This year has brought many opportunities for me and for my business. One opportunity I am proud has finally come to fruition is Blessings by Design. A dear friend of mine, Stephanie DeLuca and her business partner began this endeavor by offering "a beautiful alternative to the traditional baby shower."

Together they offer totally customizable blessing way ceremonies for the mother-to-be and her close female friends and family members. These ceremonies can include everything from belly casting, henna, foot soaks and massage, crafting and even maternity photography by Jessica Cole Photography! The possibilities are endless!

What a beautiful way to celebrate a new little life coming into your world!

To inquire about a blessing way ceremony, contact Stephanie at 315-3393 or email at blessingsbydesign@gmail.com

Tressler turns 1!!!

What a big boy this guy has grown to be! I got to do this family's Christmas photos last year and am so happy that they called me to capture Tressler's 1 year session.

He was so neat with his cake and was using the candle as a spoon! HOW CUTE!

Thanks Cheri & Ezra! See you soon!

One more of Brittni

As I sit here and edit photos today, I had to share one more of this beautiful girl!

Brittni {Sutter High Senior- Class of 2009!}

Graduation is nearing for this totally gorgeous girl- Sutter High class of '09! Brittni is a totally down to earth, horse loving, country girl...all despite having the height and body of a supermodel! I could have taken her photos for hours and hours.

Here is a sneak peek for you, Britt & for your and mom...but I can't ruin the slideshow for mom quite yet.

The "B" Family

I had so much fun getting to capture the "B" Family on Sunday evening. This amazing family had a great time in their jeep on this ranch, playing in the fields and even fighting the mosquitos! We had perfect weather and even more perfect light! Thanks to the "B" family for a great evening!

Addisen

Tonight I was trying out some of my cool new things (more details to come soon) and caught this adorable shot of my little Addisen! Gosh, I just adore these girls!

Fancy Mats

I am so excited about these new products. As I sit here and edit my last newborn session for this week, I couldn't help but take a jelly bean break and play around with these amazing new items. They are called "Fancy Mats" and can be sized anywhere from 5x7 to 20x24. They are gorgeous when printed and are a super fun alternative to the boring mats you get at craft shops. These photos come printed JUST as you design them...names, year, date...whatever you want. Colors can be changed to anything you desire. SO fun! Be sure to check them out when you view your gallery online and order yours today!

Jamie's Maternity Session

This gorgeous couple is expecting their first little baby-- a girl! I was lucky enough to capture this magical time in their life (even after a mix-up on my part). Thankfully enough, this wonderful couple was patient with my error and we got right to work getting every single shot they asked for....and then some!

This mom-to-be is glowing all around and her body is in amazing shape-- not ONE SINGLE mark on it! What a beautiful growing family.

And, as we got to talking, a weird twist of irony came up...this mom-to-be styled my hair for my wedding! How neat is that?! It really is a small world.

Thanks again for everything J & C!







This is one of my favorite shots of the day...that red wall and their skin tone just worked perfectly together.

Update for my clients

Hi everyone! I wanted to get an update to all my recent clients before the Easter weekend.

I am in the process of creating an album for a client, editing 3 newborn galleries, burning CD's as well as placing orders and prepping for 3 new sessions. However, I will not be in my office on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

ALL galleries will be published and passwords emailed out by Tuesday, April 14th. I am working as hard and as fast as I can to get everything up and perfect for you but the holiday weekend will be taking me away from work for a couple of days.

All emails will be responded to ASAP and calls answered and returned ASAP as well. I can still be reached via 530.701.7188 over the weekend. Pre-session consultations will be taking place tonight and tomorrow as well.

Thanks to everyone and I appreciate your understanding!
Jessica

Little newborn Hugh

I had a weekend full of babies this past weekend. I love it! It reminds me everytime I hold one just why I started this business.

This is little Hugh. He was 7lbs 15oz when he was born and was over 8lbs when I did his photos. I am still in awe every time I do a newborn session just how 'tiny' an 8lb 'big' baby is...they really are tiny little miracles.

Enjoy your sneak peek Mom & Dad...I will have the rest up as soon as possible for you!

"The baby whisperer"

I had to laugh today when my newest client called me the 'baby whisperer'. I have been called the 'baby lady', the 'maternity girl' and the 'newborn person' but this is the first 'baby whisperer'. I love it!

This new little girl was due today, April 5th but was born 3 weeks early. Because of that, she was not quite 7 lbs when I did her photos and slept through EVERYTHING! I don't think I could have asked for a better newborn. She is gorgeous!

A total bonus for me is that her name is soooo stinkin' cute too- her name is Stevie! Stevie Lynn C. I just adore it-- I love 'boy' names on girls (as you may know, I have a girl named Parker).

I would love to show off all of these photos but I can't ruin mom's big surprise gallery. So, for now, enjoy baby Stevie!
