girlfriends

i long for deep connections with people.  i love people and think everyone is beautiful with their own story... but those deep connections where everything falls into place and 2 souls are open at the right time to be able to truly see one another with love and intrigue - those are rare and wonderful.
Last weekend, I was able to spend not-quite-enough-time with my dear girlfriend and her family.  In the midst of a trip that was stressful and sadness filled, the light in my heart from spending time with this woman, and to watch our daughter reconnect and love eachother as if no time had passed made it all worthwhile.
I love you, Jess.  Thank you for SEEING me... always.

thank goodness we had this moment, the sunshine and a short trip to the beach. you guys are silly, sassy and cool.

Jen,
I haven't been in here in FOREVER. Boy am I missing out.

Just wanted to see that these photos speak a thousand words and are in my top 10 of all time. They are so real and so beautiful.

  • 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
