How I See You…

to see more...Portraits

My philosophy…

My work is about showing you in a portrait what I see in real life and what I know you feel in your heart. You are a beautiful, powerful and vibrant person with unlimited potential. My desire is for you to see how special you are. I believe that the process we go through working together results in a heightened sense of self, strengthened self-confidence and may be just the catalyst you need to ignite a determined passion for achieving all you’ve ever wanted. You are unstoppable. The Proof is in Your Portraits ~ JennKL

Here are some of my favorites from a recent session with Talya. Her dream…acting. I’ve seen her work, she is super talented. I can’t wait to see where she takes her career.


“My love as a photographer lives in working with entrepreneurs to create portfolios of images for both personal and professional use: press releases, social media, websites, blogs, author portraits, actor portraits, speaking engagements, you name it. It is pure joy for me to help you succeed in achieving portraits that show your superb self in a genuine way. The result: authentic, stunning portraits to be used as an essential tool in advancing your dream career.”

Role of a Lifetime (JennKL Photography, Portraits)

to see more...Portraits

One of my absolute favorite things to do is help an entrepreneur, author, artist, creative person, painter, lawyer, you name it, get portraits that represent who they are. Portraits that can be used as part of their marketing portfolio to achieve their goals and reach their dreams. Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to work with the talented and beautiful Ferrell Marshall. Ferrell was recently cast in a dream role. She will be playing Maureen Folan in the The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh, opening January 13, 2012. You will soon be able to see info and purchase tickets through The Production Company (www.theprodco.com).

Here is a synopsis of the play:

The story is set in the Irish village of Leenane, Connemara in the early 1990s. It takes place entirely in a shabby, poorly-lit kitchen, resulting in a claustrophobic sense of entrapment. The play centers on the life of Maureen Folan, a 40-year-old spinster who takes care of her selfish and manipulative 70-year-old mother Mag. Maureen’s sisters have escaped into marriage and family life, but Maureen, with a history of mental illness, is trapped in a seriously dysfunctional relationship with her mother. The Folan cottage is visited by Pato Dooley and his younger brother Ray. Pato is a middle-aged construction worker fed up with having to live and work in England, disappointed by the limitations and loneliness of his life. The day-to-day sameness is tedious also for Ray, a non-threatening “bad boy”. The glimmer of a last-chance romance between Maureen and Pato sparks up in the first act, and continues in the second one with a notable monologue of Pato. The plot, full of deceptions, secrets and betrayals interspersed with turnabouts, keeps surprising the audience. Hopes are raised only to be dashed.

The goal of our session was to portray the character Ferrell will be playing so she can use the images for press and marketing. Below are some of my favorite portraits along with a quote that Ferrell provided from the play…

Sometimes I dream… Of anything. Of anything. Other than this.

Love, Birds and Other Things (JennKL Photography)

to see more...Portraits

I’ve recently been taking lots of trips down memory lane. It’s been a long trip, like a relaxing vacation or a hike up the tallest mountain depending on which day you catch me. I am going through my entire body of working prepping for a more focused 2012. I came across the portrait below and it is definitely one I’m very fond of. It’s a portrait from my very first engagement session.  I love everything about this photo, the birds, the love, the beach, all of it. But I especially love what you can’t see. Let me share. When we arrived at the beach there was a big HUGE gathering of birds just hanging out in the sand. I immediately thought how cool it would be if they were in the portraits. So I had the couple and I head toward the water about 50 yards south of the birds and asked my husband, Hal Lublin, to head up north of the birds. I picked my camera settings, asked the couple to love on each other and then…cue the birds! I called to my husband and said “we’re set” and then he just starting chasing the birds, a full on sprint, clapping at them, running, “hoot, hoot”-ing them in our direction. I don’t know how to write in words the sounds my husband was making. It was bird talk. And it worked. I held down my shutter and hoped for the best. The results made me jump up and down with joy. Going through all of my work is also a time for a lot of reflection about where I started, where I am now and where I want to take my photography. I realize what a huge part my husband has played in my success. He has been there from the start and been my biggest supporter and for that I am more grateful than I can express here. In words. Hoot, hoot.

I just received my very own signed copy of Pretty Dolls. Kimberly Dana (the author and one of my publicity portrait clients) just mailed me a copy of her children’s book. I had to read it right away. It is such a sweet story with a powerful message. I definitely think it should be in every child’s book collection. Click here to order your copy from Amazon. Thank you for my copy Kimberly. I can’t wait to see the success of the book!  And of course, couldn’t help myself, had to take a few pictures…
