I can't say enough amazing things about Jenna; she is truly one of the best humans I've ever known and truly a professional in her field. The moment she met my family, she instantly put everyone at ease with her natural calming energy & loving disposition, which enabled her to capture authentic, captivating photographs.

my why

The root of my passion for photography is to advocate for and share the beauty that I see in people with Down syndrome.

My why behind finally becoming a professional photographer was when my daughter was born. Realizing she was more alike than different–this newborn photograph taken by my sister, Sabrina, changed my sad perspective and shed light on her beauty and significance in our lives. I'm so proud and honored to be her mother and photographer.

Documenting Meaningful experiences for Curious and Adventurous People and Businesses

Jenna created this business when her daughter, Lana, was born with Down syndrome and enhanced her world for the better.

The Team

family

Team work makes the dream work! It was inevitable for us create our family business. Within days of our daughter's birth I knew I wanted to create beautiful photographs of people with Down syndrome and special needs. Fast forward to today where Lana is now my session assistant.

Frequently asked questions

Most frequent questions and answers

Jenna is the lead photographer and works with every client. Andre and Nathanael second shoot and assist behind the scenes as needed.

Though we primarily serve the greater Portland, Oregon area. We welcome projects world wide. 

Jenna began her photography journey in 2005 and earned her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Business Photography in 2013. 

Jenna started fickleZeal Photography in 2007 when her daughter Lana was born with Down syndrome. She was captivated by Lana’s beauty and wanted to share it with anyone that lacked compassion for people with special needs. In 2019, we decided to update our name to Palomino Co in order to support our commercial clients and growing business. fickleZeal will always be a part of us, and we look forward to finding ways to expand that part of our brand.

We shoot and love Canon. Jenna shoots with the Canon R6 and Canon Mark II. Andre also shoots with a Canon Mark II. Our favorite lenses are the 50mm f/1.2L, 24-70mm f/2.8L, 135mm f/2L, and Canon 70-200mm F2.8 although we have many more!

Yes, we love shooting events. We are able to capture the event from a documentary approach as well as to set up a photo booth. Rates start at $325 per hour with an average of 50 images each hour.

In most cases, yes as long as we do not have anything conflicting in our schedule. If you believe you will need more coverage, it is safest to extend the time in advance.

Although we offer a vast array of prints and products for sale, digital images are also available for purchase.

We love helping entrepreneurs with startups and rebranding. We offer brainstorming sessions, rebranding elements, copy, and other business solutions (think: print, packaging, digital design, etc.). Let us know if you are interested; we’d love to hear your story!

Are you ready to schedule your photo session? Planning can be a daunting task, especially if you're not one for taking pictures of yourself. I'm happy to help, but you can't go wrong in Oregon. I encourage you to plan an adventure with me first.

I'll first find out where you like to explore most. The coast, rivers, lakes, trails, wineries, the city, local parks, your neighborhood-the possibilities are abundant! I have some favorite locations, but to make your session as meaningful and personal as possible, I first like to find out more about your preferences. In any case, please don't delay!

I believe in the power as a

vessel for impact and connection.

I believe in the power of photography as a vessel for impact and connection. Real-life time machines destined to the yesteryears that helped form us and lead us to where we are now. This is why I ensure each of my clients has an experience of their own as accurate and true as you are.

Coupled with a memorable adventure, there's no better gift for yourself and your loved ones for generations to come than adventure photo sessions where you can enjoy the moments without having to pause for selfies and taking the photographs where you're not part of the story.

Personal and Meaningful

Set your phone down

Don't let life pass you by

Live in the moments

Set your phone down and let me capture an adventure experience. I don't want you to look back on time and wish you would have made room for more photographs of your younger self.

Don't take where you are right now for granted. I'd love to create photographs that you cherish of for yourself, your family, and your business.
