More Wedding!

There are so many shots to choose from. Which is a good thing! Here are some of my top favorites, although there are still more that melt my heart. :) Congrats to you Heidi and Jeff. Thanks again for trusting me. Enjoy.

Web Browsers etc

So, it has been brought to my attention that on some people's computers my pictures are being cut off on the right hand side. I am very glad you guys have brought this to my attention as on my computer it is fine. Anyway, I have talked with a few 'computer' people and apparently it is a certain web browser that doesn't go along the same guide lines as all the others. Bummer. So, I have decided to do a few experiments to see if making the pictures smaller would help. So let me know if it still cuts off the picture on the right..... your only way of telling on this particular picture is with my name at the bottom. It should say Christina Cole. :) Hopefully making the pictures a little smaller will allow for more picture to be viewed by more people. These are my boys. I bought them these shirts for the upcoming school year. And when I say school, I mean pre-k for Cole and mother's day out preschool for Jack. My baby is going to school this year. It will be great for me and my photography business, but sad for my heart. I love my kids! Who doesn't love their kids right?! Have a great night!

The Wedding Ceremony - Part One

I feel so privileged to be part of their special day! Heidi and I have been good friends since I very first moved to Nashville. We used to go to her house when my now 4 year old son was a new born baby. Jeff and Heidi made the decision to get married on his roof-top apartment building on 2nd avenue in downtown Nashville. It was so beautiful and awesome. They decided against a big wedding and took the money they would have spent on a wedding to go to Italy for 2 weeks. Awesome! Can't wait to hear all about that. So here are some of the ceremony pictures. I am having a tough time choosing which ones to post because these two are very photogenic. Enjoy!

















Happy Monday!

Baby Alex

This shoot helped me feel better around babies! Don't get me wrong, I love babies, but I haven't had the easiest time taking their pictures. The trick is to get them to go to sleep. Like baby Alex who was a super trooper for me! I hope to have another baby who is as good of a sleeper as Alex. I actually can't wait to do more baby shoots because I recently bought a little wooden crib to use as a prop for newborn sessions.

I love how these turned out. There were too many to choose from so here is a few of them. Thanks Tiffany! Hope you love these! I know I do.



This first one is my favorite of the day. I edited the same one in black and white too. They are both fabulous!!

Heidi and Jeff

Here is a little teaser from last night's wedding. It is all a long story, but let's just say it is good and can't wait to show you more!

The 'D' Family

Here is a sample of the 'D' family. They are a great family, very giving and generous. They had been wanting to adopt for quite some time and a few months ago, a little boy joined their family. What an amazing thing to do for another family who for whatever reason couldn't take care of this little guy. He is full of energy and pure love. I had a blast with them! The last picture Timber wanted to do to symbolize the adoption circle and all the hands of the family as they come together. Enjoy the pics!

Alexa and Chloe

They were engaged less than a month. Now seven years later, they are still happy and in love. Oh yeah, and did I mention they have these two absolutely adorable girls. Nic and I have known Chris and Amanda for a long time so it was such a treat for me to spend some time with their girls, Alexa and Chloe. Even with a location and clothing change, we got some good stuff. Thanks again Amanda! Can't wait to come back to ID and do it again!

Business, Business

So many exciting things to update you on. First, there's the passion and love I feel for photography. Each day seems to bring it on more and more. I kinda like that feeling. Like it a lot. Next, I want to mention that I am moving forward with the business. I have ordered business cards for Christina Cole Photography, so lookout world, soon you'll all have my phone number, email and blood type. :) I have been working on pricing structures for my business and I can't wait till it is all said and done. Black and white. Set in stone. But, to give myself (and you guys) a break from it all, I have decided to keep my prices low through the end of the year. Not that I am going to raise the prices up a tremendous amount, it will just be more structured. So, more updates on that later.

In other exciting news, I have 3 shoots still to post from the past few weeks. LOVE these shoots. I have been taking pictures of a lot of children lately, and I gotta say, they are pretty darn cute. Well, you'll see.

Lastly, just wanted to mention my biggest news. In October I have been asked to co-shoot a wedding in Seattle. Like downtown Seattle. Like big time wedding. I am so excited! And a little nervous. Luckily I am the second shooter (meaning it all doesn't fall on me), but still. I feel good about having 2 more months to plan and prepare and practice. The 3 p's apparently. Right now I am loving taking couples engagements. I love love. A wedding is going to be over the top love and I can't wait! More on that later too.

Happy Saturday!
