I'm Tosha LaForest, the artist behind Tosha Cole Photography. I was born in Memphis, Tennessee, but I was raised in Bay City, MI. I have been taking photographs for as long as I can remember, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my passion for photography with the world. I love making new friends, seeing families grow, and being a part of life's milestones. Photography is not just a job for me; it's a way to connect with people and capture special moments that will be treasured for years to come.

Our Photography Background

I started out my education at Delta Community College, where I earned an Associates degree in Graphic Design. From there, I went on to Saginaw Valley State University to study photography. While most of my training was in classic film photography, I have since embraced digital photography and strive to stay ahead of the game by continually increasing my knowledge.

As a third-generation artist, creativity is in my blood. Aside from photography, I enjoy drawing, painting, sculpting, working with clay, and exploring other fun mediums. I first started out as a portrait artist, drawing portraits by hand, and I continue to incorporate fine art elements into my photography.

"Tosha did a great job at explaining each experience. Cathy was amazing (at my makeup) and was able to do my exact reference photo. Tosha makes everything so unique and fun. She wants to get the most real photos of you and to do that she brings out her fun side. I loved all of my images! My favorite product I ordered was the acrylic block. My overall experience with Tosha Cole Photography was AMAZING." - Rachel

"Tosha Cole Photography absolutely made my senior picture experience unforgettable! I knew I made the right choice during the consultation we had to discuss how I wanted my pictures to look and where they were going to be taken. Tosha was incredibly knowledgeable about certain spots in Bay City that would fit me personally and I know she really wanted me to look my best in the end product. Tosha was able to locate some very unique locations around Bay City for me to be photographed that I would have never thought of. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I couldn't be happier with how my pictures turned out!" - Natalie
