About
Based in Grants Pass, OR, I’m a wedding, family, and portrait photographer with 15 years of experience capturing real, unscripted moments.
I’m a documentary lifestyle photographer for the wild and young at heart. I focus on the subtle smiles, forehead kisses, and in-between moments when time seems to slow down—laughs, tears, and everything that truly tells your story.
My mission is to create cinematic photographs with warmth and artistry, while keeping the experience easy, relaxed, and genuine. I believe we all deserve to leave a legacy and proof for future generations that we lived a life worth remembering.
If this resonates with you, let’s connect and start planning how to beautifully tell your story.

Mary did such an amazing job on my engagement and wedding photos. Our engagement photos were the first time my husband and I had had pictures taken of us and we were nervous and clueless and she made us feel so comfortable and turned it into such a fun experience! And then on our wedding day she was so good about capturing things I wouldn’t have thought of and was so great at capturing the day and all the love. She was great with her timing and gave us such a beautiful full album of pictures to cherish forever.

Mary Jane was/is incredible from the beginning. From the moment I contacted her, she was responsive, patient, kind, and professional. She's the type of photographer that knows exactly what moments should be captured and she captures them so beautifully. She gets the photos she knows you'll appreciate and be grateful for. A friend of mine had a list of photos she wished she had gotten from her wedding, and everything on that list is what Mary Jane makes sure she gets. Her work is beautiful, it's everything you wanted and everything you didn't know you wanted. Every shot is important to her, making sure you have those memories is important to her. She is good at what she does. She's a blast too. You won't regret working with her. She's worth it.

MaryJane is an exceptional photographer, ultimate hype woman, and deeply creative soul. Working with her (on three separate shoots) proved to be the best decision we made. She knows exactly how to get amazing shots and is open to trying every new idea you bring to the table as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to work with a real professional.

Mary was INCREDIBLE. My son was 3 when we did our shoot and she made him so comfortable. Our photos came out absolutely stunning and incredibly natural. Her pricing is more than fair and her work is 10/10!

We had so much fun doing our family photo shoot with Mary Jane Cole! Communication was clear and quick in the booking and receiving process! My two children were instantly comfortable with her which absolutely shows in the photos. She told us how to pose so that we didnt have to worry about that. As a photographer myself I am very picky, if I am paying for photos they need to be better than what I can get from my tripod. Mary Jane more than delivered. I absolutely love our photos. Her attention to light is evident in every shot and I love the way she edits her photos. Both color and black and white have so much mood! I highly recommend Mary Jane Cole for all your photographic needs!
