lovely family

Img_2760bw I got to spend last Sunday afternoon with this lovely family.  It fills me up with so much joy when I walk away from a shoot feeling like I have witnessed so much love, that I was able to capture some beautiful bits of that love photographically, and that I have made new friends!!!

J & S, these are just a few to wet your whistles!!! ;o)

this one's for carolyn...

The world lost a really cool lady this past thursday, and our dear dear friend, Steph, lost her Momma after an exhausting battle with cancer.

I just want to put it out there in the universe that we are sending you love and peace for your new journey, Carolyn, and also to the entire Bulkin family.Mom_photo

Dear 2008,

ready or not here you are!  and by golly, i welcome you with open arms.  come here and hug me you new year you!  it boggles the mind how you, time, truly do move faster and faster the older i get.  very tricky.  i can't help but love you because however false my perceptions may be, you do symbolize a new beginning and a new chance to make it "the best year yet!"

xo,

jen

testimonials

  • Working with Jen was a total pleasure. She was relaxed, fun, and very flexible. I started the session feeling self-pressure to have the children dressed just right, the setting perfect, and everyone on their best behavior. Of course, the best laid plans were not to be - yet, Jen still captured the BEST pictures of my family I have ever seen. I highly recommend Jen Downer! ---Holly B
  • Jen was great!! We spent an enjoyable afternoon with her, and it never felt like a photo shoot. We were all at ease and she captured us as we are. Our photos are beautiful and truly portray our family. ---Becky
  • Jen and I went to art school together. I was in awe: her images had warmth, happiness and playfulness. Also a bit of nostalgia...the good kind, when memories are brought back with a little smile. She took a great detour after graduation by falling in love and starting a family. She already saw the good things about people, but now it's enhanced by having her own little people to nurture. She's the perfect person to document the special moments of every day life. ---Suzi
