Jenna Cole Photography-Dallas, TX bio picture

Welcome to Jenna Cole!

Investing in a camera and launching this business has given me the
chance to merge the two activities I love most, photography and blogging. After spending several months taking still life photos for my other blogging endeavors (That Bride, Weddingbee, and That Wife) I realized that I wanted to start spending time with people. I wanted to spend my days taking pictures of people that helped them to see how beautiful they are.

I want to capture the moments in your life as they are happening, as they would happen even if I wasn't there with you. When the light falls just right, and the boy and the girl look at each other just so, magic happens. I want to be there for that moment, composing an image that tells a story, your story.

You can read more about my personal life at That Wife, add me on Twitter, or find me on Facebook. Thank you for visiting and for commenting (I read them all and they make my day!).

 

As I prepare for the next big event in my life (the birth of my baby in April!), I'm going to be refocusing my business and sacling back on the number and type of sessions I am accepting. I'll be on maternity leave beginning in March and lasting through May. Please contact me if you have any questions!

Duet: Jasher + Lindsey

Jasher and Lindsey are two of my favorite friends, and most definitely the classiest and most stylish couple I know. My husband and I (meaning I came up with the idea and somehow husband got credit as well :) ) wanted to be economical with our gift budget this year so we chose to offer some of our closest friend here in Dallas a free session with Jenna Cole. It was really fun, and definitely a different challenge than usual, to spend time with friends in this “professional” role. We invited their fur-baby Coco along for the shoot as well and took all of the photos you see around and across the street from their apartment complex. I always say that good photo spots can be found almost anywhere!

I admit I made the two of them nervous, straddling this little pond while 5 months pregnant with expensive camera equipment in hand. I tend to go a little crazy if I get the idea for a specific shot in my head! :)

Jasher has a terrific smile and laugh. It’s one of my favorite things about him.

This is Coco’s “flower dog” wedding day outfit, worn while her mama was being made up into a blushing bride. I’m pretty sure this sweet little dog has a better wardrobe than I do. :)

THAT SHOT!

I have this photo in the portfolio that I take to client consultations. It’s always a hit with animal lovers!

Jasher embraced doggy parenthood really quickly.

One of my new favorite poses. Both dramatic and a little bit saucy I think.

I told them I wanted a showstopper to end the session. Oh baby did they deliver!

I think we’ll definitely be continuing the tradition of gifting sessions to our friends in the years to come, in part because I got such a kick out of getting my work in the mail as part of their Christmas card! We hope to be lucky enough to continue living close to these two in the years to come, so I’m crossing my fingers this isn’t the last time you see these two on Jenna Cole.

J, L, and Coco,

Love you bunches!

Best,

Jenna

Michelle and Dan’s Hollywood Glam Save The Date

Michelle and Dan were one of the couples I worked with during my visit for Washington DC and it was so fun to work to try to fulfill their vision for their engagement photos. Michelle told me she would be putting together a custom Save the Date for their wedding, with a Hollywood glam type feel to introduce their guests to the amazing wedding they’ve been putting so much work into planning. What do you think? I loved seeing my work used in this way!

Teaser: Kathryn and Eric

I did an engagement session with Kathryn and Eric in the Spring of last year, back when I was doing free portfolio building sessions. As we were parting at the end of that day they told me they would like to talk to me about shooting their wedding for them. I crossed my fingers and hoped and hoped… and then they signed!

Aren’t I lucky they made up their mind so quickly?
