Trina and Harvey - Daxton Hotel

Great fun shooting at the new DAXTON Hotel in Birmingham. Perfection !

“We chose Jean Lannen for our wedding at a new hotel in downtown Birmingham. Prior to our wedding, she wanted to meet us both to get a total sense of our desires – as well as to take a few “test” photos. During the wedding, she created a relaxed atmosphere while making it totally fun. Additionally, she caught such special moments from us and others; moments I will treasure forever. I can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Jean! “ - Trina

CONGRATULATIONS Petrina & Harvey

A few photographs from a few nights ago. Trina and Harvey were so sweet. I’m so happy I was there to document and create!

“Jean, I viewed your site and like the creativity and emotion you bring to your work. Are you available for my wedding?” - Trina

Torani Syrup Corporate Offices with my photographs on display

Torani Syrup, in San Francisco, recently decorated their corporate office wall with older photographs that I created for one of their recipes book. I remember it like it was yesterday. They asked me to create “chapter openers” using my selective focus and hand printed watery looking style. I shot using my Hasselblad and developed the b&w film and all the prints myself. Oh, those were the good old days.

Monarch Butterfly EGG on Swamp Milkweed

I was lucky enough to observe a female Monarch Butterfly laying a few eggs on my swamp milkweed in my backyard last year. Here’s one of the eggs. In 2019, I helped raise Monarch eggs and Monarch Caterpillars into becoming Monarch Butterflies. I found them on my backyard milkweed, and in a few other local fields. That year I released over 100 Butterflies right off my fingers. I’ve observed and documented the entire process over the last few years thru my macro lens. It has truly been one of the most amazing things I’ve every witnessed. I fall in love with them.

My Robin's Nest is in the March issue of Detroit Design

I was lucky enough to observe a robins nest being built in my evergreen bush. Overtime, I would try to approach the bush, as they squaked and dive bombed me. I did manage to get a few photographs and always wore a hat.

What I see from the Street, thru the grass

I just love this unusual and jaw dropping house in Birmingham, Michigan. It was designed by architect Steven Sivak for owners Linda Dresner and Ed Levy. The home is a 7,200-square-foot postmodern poured-concrete extravaganza!! I’m attracted to the open yard of grass that flirts with the sun and breeze. There’s such a contrast of Mother Nature & Humanity along with Strength, Innocence & Vulnerability. It speaks to me, in a good way. More Info on the house and owners - Click Here
