Summer Party 2022

A Beautiful Night for a Beautiful Party. Thank you to Liz and Jerry and Melissa !! I had an extraordinary time!

SAVE the milkweed

I first started growing milkweed in 2017. I transplanted them into my garden from plants I would see on my walks, in abandoned fields and parking lots. I have both COMMON MILKWEED and SWAMP MILKWEED. In 2018 I first started seeing Monarch Butterflies in my yard and gardens. That year I collected about 20 eggs and helped to raise the caterpillars into butterflies. In 2019, it was over 100! In 2021, it was only about 30. This year, I’ve only collected about 18 eggs and over half never made it to butterflies. Today, I have over 100 plants growing in my yard. It’s easy. Do it!

Yesterday, the MONARCH BUTTERFLY was put on the “endangered species” list. MILKWEED is the ONLY PLANT that Monarch Butterflies lay their eggs on. MILKWEED is the ONLY PLANT that Monarch Caterpillars eat.

SO, PLANT MILKWEED. STOP using pesticides. PLEASE.

JULY 2022 - Releasing MALE MONARCH BUTTERFLY off my hand, after collecting the egg, raising the caterpillar and watching the BUTTERFLY emerge from its chrysalis.

A perfect afternoon

Everything was perfect for this baby shower, a few weeks ago.

Saw TODD the other night at the Royal Oak

I had an awesome time visiting with Todd and seeing him play in the - Beatles “50 Years Ago” Tribute concert at the Royal Oak Theatre a few days ago.

Happy New Year 2022

Beauty in the Random Observations of the Everyday. Stay Curious, Be Kind

Congratulations Nate

Jean,

You are truly a photographer who takes her art seriously!  We hired you based on knowing your work and it was the perfect decision for our Son’s Bar Mitzvah.  Going beyond the extra mile by bringing in an old Corvette just for a photo shoot with our Son, allowed us to have professional images for our program and montage.  Your communication was always fantastic being text/emails/calls, always reconfirmed times and showing up early for the Photo Shoot, Ceremony and Celebration, too.  The way you worked with our Son by being super patient & caring & professional comes thru within all the images. We now have to choose photos for an Album which will be super difficult since all the photos are amazing!  For our Daughter’s Mitzvah Photographer, in the near future, you’ll be our first call without hesitation! 

If you are looking for a professional photographer with an artistic flare, who goes beyond the extra mile call Jean!!! - Aaron & Stephanie

New Corporate Portraits

I’ve had the privilege of photographing these talented people that are part of Edward Rose & Sons, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Many thanks to Dawn and Alex!

“I have worked with Jean on a few occasions and have been blown away with each photography task we’ve sent her way! Whether it’s event photography or company headshots for our employees, Jean was more than stellar to work with as evident by the many positive comments I received from others that worked with her. The only thing better than her photography is working with Jean, herself, with her outgoing and infectious personality.” - Alex Maki, Director of Marketing, ER & Sons

 

Family Portraits, Candids and Posed

I really enjoyed photographing the Taubman family for their very special Thanksgiving get together in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Linda Taubman first hired me about 10 years ago to capture candids photographs of her family. Since then, I’ve photographed two Thanksgivings, a graduation, been referred for a very fun baby shower and new baby family portraits and documented both Linda’s amazing French Country Home and breathtaking Birmingham Apartment. Thank you, thank you!

“Thanks Jean! Excellent job as usual !!" - Linda Taubman

Annual Meeting & Party

It was great fun taking a mini road trip to Cincinnati to photograph the annual meeting / party for West Point Optical. I had to take a very quick group photo of everyone and we ended up in the lobby. One year, there were almost 300 people!

Ran into Detroit artist Scott Berels

I was at a party last night and ran into Detroit artist Scott Berels. I photographed him back in 2017 for the Downtown Magazine. He was the one that remembered me. Congratulations to him and his beautiful wife and their new awesome baby girl. @scottberels @deffabdesign
