Cindy originally contacted me about the offer for free sessions I posted on Weddingbee. When I bought my camera and launched Jenna Cole I went on a portfolio building blitz, and offered free sessions on a first-come first-serve basis, but Cindy contacted me too late and so I thought I had lost her. Lucky for me, she changed her mind and decided to book, and put all of her trust in me and let me choose the shooting location.
Things started out muddy, and a little bit smelly, but these two smiled, laughed, and cuddled their way through like professionals.
Oh and by the way, Cindy has a daughter of 7 months. Can you believe that? They are the cutest little parents.
Paulino was not comfortable in front of the camera, but we (as in Cindy and I) worked hard to make the process as painless as possible. It wasn’t that bad was it Paulino?
I loved this spot we stumbled on, with a great big island located across the water. If only we had a little rowboat to take out to it. 
These are the looks I work to capture. The unscripted genuine looks of love that make our worlds go round.
While driving over to our first meeting location I spotted this playground wall, and suggested that we wander over to it and see if we could make some magic happen.
If this isn’t magic I don’t know what is. The smirk on his face, the smile on hers with a look back toward him, the hand holding.
Our last stop for the day was in a random field of flowers located close the the playground. The house next door looked deserted so I felt relatively safe tromping through their field of flowers.
I rate this my best dip photo so far and I owe it all to these two.
Paulino didn’t mind one bit when I suggested we do a shot with Cindy as the focus. Can you blame him? Does she even have any makeup on? Natural beauty is my favorite kind.
THAT SHOT!
My first shot of this style, and I LOVE it. Sometimes I look at just when I need a little pick-me-up, that’s how darling I think it is.
The end of the night, we were losing our light, and I asked them to spend just a few more minutes in the flowers.
Cindy and Paulino, I have a lovely, lovely time with you. You trusted me so completely, and I think it paid off for all of us in the end. Paulino, you’re such a great sport! I hope that you will feel a tiny bit more excited to have your picture taken from now on. Cindy, thank you so much for coming back to contact me again. I really enjoyed working with you.
Best,
Jenna
