If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the present... gratefully. Maya Angelou My wish for everyone reading this is that you end the year looking back on the things you’re grateful for. We focus on the next year with hope, health and love. Give yourself some grace if you don’t know how it’s already 2021 March -December went by in a flash and yet I’m pretty sure it lasted 22...297 days. Be happy. Smile more. Find more reasons to smile. Be the reason more people smile. When things are hard don’t hide. Make connections even in quarantine. Zoom, FaceTime even Facebook has calling. Connect. Love. Love fiercely. Love with all you have. Accept it as equally. In the ugly try and find the beauty. It’s there. It always is. I am so grateful for the love and support I’ve been given this entire year. Wishing everyone a safe and happy new year! Reminder I’ll be closed as of 12/30 till January (?) recovering from surgery. I will update when possible. I’m currently booking into March for Graduates and will will answer emails and messages starting January 8,2021. Anything urgent please email me at [email protected] With love see you in 2021 Jessica Nettles Hair and makeup: Nicollette Peltier #selfportrait #tellmystory #thelifestylecollaborative #photographer_stories #momswithcamera #dearphotographer #mom_hub #camera_mama #shootproofme #momtogs #clickmagazine #lblcollective #clickinmom #hellostoryteller #thesincereststoryteller #lifewellcaptured #dearestviewfinder #familyphotography #ocphotographer #jessicanettlesphotography

I am so humbled and feel so loved. Thank you for all the comments, texts, and calls regarding my post. I frankly am overwhelmed and can't say how much it means to me enough. Our Christmas will be quiet and safe at home. Even though it looks so different this year, I feel so very lucky, honestly to be me. I have an amazing family, friends who are chosen family, and a career that fills my heart. I am loved and I love fiercely back. What greater gift is that. From my little f...amily to yours Happy Holiday! and a very Merry Christmas...

I post this every year so here’s a friendly reminder Listen up!!!!!!! Be in the pictures on Christmas morning!!!!!!

I didn't share NEARLY enough from this wedding. Things were a little crazy and I usually like to wait till my bride has all her final images and videos. I CAN NOT WAIT any longer and thankfully I don't have to. Meghan stunning doesn't even begin to describe how you looked that day. But from engagement pictures to wedding pictures you've been radiant and I adore you!!! I plan on sharing their album but here is a glimpse of their day Taylor and Meghan Ressel...

Up until 6 days ago, this post was very, very different. I honestly am at a loss exactly where to start or how. I've always been extremely open on my page. One of the things I value most is human connection, and my photography is a significant extension of that. So. I share. I'm sure there are a few eye rolls with the "she shares everything. " But I don't. The last 5 months have been a roller coaster of health scares, from intense scans and biopsies to clear lesions from be...Continue reading

Tis' the season to sparkle

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,... I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. Maya Angelou, And Still I Rise . . Some words of strength and love because I think we all could use a little extra right now.

Join me in wishing the best friend, assistant, second camera, and confidant I could’ve ever dreamed of a happy birthday I love you Jackie.

This was from 2 years ago but since I have some new peeps that have joined I wanted to share my story. Sending love Jessica

Let's talk real people. I know that everyone wants the sunset gorgeous glow. BUT the weather isn't something I can control. There has been a rare time or two where I said it's bad weather we should reschedule. But I know how much work goes into getting a family ready so I don't pull sessions lightly. There are only so many Saturday Sunsets. But don't think that's the only time that you can get gorgeous images. Jennifer and her family proved a beautiful bright sun can be AMAZING!!!!!

I've watched this family grow, not in the count but in love. I don't know how it's possible that every time I am around them, the bond and love they have for each other has molded as the boys get older. But the love, oh how it just seems bigger than air and yet and the same time it takes your breath away. Cheesy? Maybe But if you do happen to know Kurt and Ann you would know it's totally true! This family exemplifies love. Another mini sneak (Yes I have spent a lot of time in Laguna Beach, CA , poor me )
