New Beauty Magazine Shoot

Here’s a few photo proofs from a recent New Beauty Magazine shoot. It was such a pleasure meeting Dr. Linda Honet. We immediately connected and had a great time working together to create beautiful photographs. It was truly an extraordinary photo session. She was beautiful inside and out and so much fun.

Dr. Linda Honet had some very kind words before and after the photo shoot:

“I am very intrigued with how you are able to show such an intimate connection with your clients so effortless in your portraits. Perusing your photos left me wanting to learn more about theIr personal stories. I am very impressed with your work and impressed with how New Beauty was able to find you to do my photo shoot. “ - Dr. Linda Honet

“You are so talented, which is most evident with just a quick glance at your photos. However, what sets you apart as an artist and photographer is that your caring spirit and kind heart allow for such an emotional connection and familiar ease with the client that the photo shoot is effortless, It was like spending a few hours laughing with a friend. It was definitely a huge amount of energy and work for you, but for me (except for the high heels), it was a joy and really fun. All we needed was some hot coffee to keep our hands warm or maybe even a cocktail or two! ;)” - Dr. Linda Honet

I'm OBSESSED with the Monarch Caterpillars

Omg, I’m obsessed with the Monarch Caterpillars . . . I end up observing them all day, jotting down notes and taking photographs . . . today I dropped some Milkweed flowers into a cage and they went nuts and devoued them all. Also, I found the caterpillar that hatched from the EGG I saw being laid right on an actual Milkweed Flower Bud about 2 weeks ago.

As of today, I have about 12 eggs, 15 cats and one chrysalis ready to eclose in about 3 days. So far this year, I’ve release 9 butterflies and released about 15 least year, and I only started last year in August. :) I tend to get emotionally attached to the cats . . .and then curiosity takes over . . . Here’s 2 cats that hatched together on a Milkweed Plant that I had planted in a container. They are playful and follow each other around and have little spat fights. - MY FIRST MONARCH fine art photographic print is available in my ETSY SHOP here: MONARCH #7 More Art coming SOON!

NEW Monarch Art for sale!

Here’s my first MONARCH Caterpillar photograph that is for sale. It symbolizes the long, magical journey of the Monarch Butterfly. Here’s Caterpillar #7/2019 on a milkweed plant in my backyard. I observed it for about 8 days and took many, many photographs. I always play with the focus and composition as I like to be surprised when I look thru the view finder. The photograph without any words or type is for sale in my Etsy Shop - Jean Lannen Art. Click Here: MONARCH #7

In an effort to raise attention and help the monarchs to survive, I’m hoping my photographs spark curiosity and encourage people to get involved and plant milkweed. Stay Curious, Be Kind, Look up, Look down, Look over there!

2019 Monarchs, oh my!

On May 27th, 2019 - I watched the first 2019 female Monarch fly around my gardens and lay eggs on my various milkweed plants. I was thrilled, as I only started to observe them and raise the caterpillars last year in July. So, about 32 days after I saw the eggs being laid, I released a male, #1.

I’ve been documenting and taking photographs over this process and now, I’m slowly releasing the photo’s and information. Photo’s will be available for sale soon!

Love these wrapped trees

I drive by these wrapped trees all the time and finally stopped and had a mini photo session. It’s just so Tim Burton.
