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!

Complimentary Hair/Makeup with Emily Hudspeth!

Emily Hudspeth did the hair and makeup for my recent maternity session  (pictures coming soon!), and I recently learned that Dallas area brides have the chance to win a free hair and makeup trial with her. Lucky you! If I were you, I would enter and then use the trial on the day of my bridal or engagement session (maybe your session with Jenna Cole? :) ) because I’ve seen Emily’s work in person, and experienced her skills for myself, and I”m positive you’re going to love when you end up with.

Jenna Cole in… Austin?

Last year I put out the word that I was looking to fund a trip to New York City with photography shoots, and because readers did such a fantastic job spreading the word I was able to meet Janie + Ryan and Josie + Florian and spend some time in the Big Apple!

I have a past client who has a few friends who would like to work with me down in Austin, and I’m wondering if anyone else in the Austin area might be interested in setting up a session with Jenna Cole sometime toward the end of February? I found this sunset in Dallas, but I’m betting Austin has them as well. :)

If you are interested, drop me an email: jenna {at} jennacole {dot} com
Tell me your availability and the type of session you’re interested in setting up and I”ll come down and make you look pretty.
