Big things coming my way...

I have some amazing news!!! My friend and professional photographer, Michelle, and I are going to be BUILDING a custom, state of the art studio together on her property. We have lots of meetings in the coming weeks with contractors, architects and loads of designing fun ahead but...stay tuned! There are BIG things coming my way!

Thanks Michelle for a wonderful endeavor!

Isabella & Isaiah

Check out these little darlings...too cute for words!

Christian & his family

I just love this little guy! He sits so still for the camera, looks right thru my lens and smiles like a champ. I swear, he couldn't be easier to photograph if I wanted him to be...enjoy!

Blake Family

While shooting the Blake's today, I got to catch some wonderful family shots and moments for them. Here are some of my favorites to share...

Michele, Rich, Gannon & baby girl!

I had the pleasure of shooting my dear friend Michele and her stunning family today. I swear, I have never seen a more glowing pregnant woman in my life! As usual, most of my shots are straight from the camera with very minimal editing required. Michele really wanted me to 'make her look fabulous'...well, following her request, I think she looks FABULOUS! And...none of these are retouched and edited!

Michele, you are gorgeous and glowing...no editing needed girl! ;)




This is one of my favorite poses. My husband actually had this idea when we did our maternity photos and I think I took it to another level today with this amazing couple!


And of course, you can't help but just ADORE little 'G'...seems like just yesterday he was just a baby himself!

My 1st wedding!!!

Today I had the pleasure of shooting my first wedding with my friend and fellow photographer, Michelle Chandler. Michelle owns Busy Bees Daycare as well as Moments to Remember Photography. She is amazing and as we work together more and more, we are having a blast! Today, we traveled to Tahoe together for a FUN couple, Tad & Nicole, and shot their casino wedding. It was so classy, tasteful, elegant but also fun, relaxed and intimate. Here are some of my sneak peeks...more to come soon!









Lastly, I have to share this one of Nicole and her mom. Its one of those shots that is not 'technically' a perfect shot (heck, it was taken in the reflection of a mirror that OBVIOUSLY needs to be cleaned) but the moment was so real and tender that the specks, reflections and noise make it so perfect. Love it!



All around, today was amazing. This couple has such a wonderful love story that I couldn't help but get misty eyed throughout the day. What a great experience! Now that I have shot a wedding, you just never know what might be around the corner for me and Jessica Cole Photography!

"the white card"...look for them!

I have a new card...the white card. It's a special little card. It's business card sized and if you find one when you are out and about, save it! Call me, book a session and get some fantastic deals. Finding a white card really pays off!
