Sara Is A STAR And We’re Here For It With Her Spokesmodel Session!

Sara is a star indeed – very comfortable in front of the camera and we’re big fans!  She just oozes charisma, and she’s nice, smart – all the things!  Okay we’re gushing but it is what it is, and she’s a North Farmington Raider to boot just like us!  We went to Detroit with Sara for some spokesmodel pics as she is representing our studio for the class of 2023 and the results are epic.  Let’s get to the highlights!

Sara is a star

Our first stop….well, we may keep where the first stop was to ourselves hehe….

Sara

WOW right?  A beautiful flower among the beautiful flowers!

Next we have a couple from Belle Isle – love this one…

Could she be any more adorable?
 
We loved this session and we can’t wait to get Sara in front of Ally’s camera again!  We’re so excited for senior season and the class of 2023 sessions are just about here!

A Second Time Around With Sasha For Senior Pics In Detroit!

The second time around with Sasha was as memorable as we knew it would be.  This future Arizona Wildcat has style to burn and she represented our studio for the class of 2022 as a spokesmodel for Frankel Jewish Academy in grand fashion!  We love this girl and her mom Kristine and we were looking forward to getting her in front of Ally’s camera again!  We spent the whole session in Detroit and Sasha slayed – of course…!  Let’s get to some highlights.

A Second Time Around With Sasha

We spent a lot of time in and around Eastern Market and here’s a fantastic highlight to kick it off…

Second Time Around

LOVE IT.  That gate is cool.

Second Time Around

And there are endless murals… and Sasha knew how to pick ’em.

We went a little “post-apocalyptic” on the next stop and here’s some behind the scenes from Facebook:

And the result:

Second Time Around

We love that shot!

We have some more fun behind the scenes from Eastern Market before we headed over to the DIA this time from Instagram:

Merrick Makes It Happen On His Senior Spokesmodel Session!

Merrick makes it happen – in general.  He’s an accomplished kid – a solid student athlete at the Frankel Jewish Academy and this is not the first time he has been in front of Ally’s camera… he and lil’ sis Sydney were here for portraits when they were little – our families go back a very long way to when I was little myself!  But we’re here to talk about the class of 2023 and senior pictures and Merrick is representing our studio, so let’s get to a few highlights!

Merrick Makes It Happen

We started on location on a beautiful sunny morning – our seniors have the option of photographing in the studio AND on location, and if we start in the morning it’s always on location first.  If there is sun we want it lower in the sky.

Merrick

Looking good Merrick!

Oh, and Jax the pup got into the act.  Lots of seniors like to bring a pet!

Merrick

Of course we have some fun behind the scenes first from Instagram:

And the result!

Merrick

AWESOME!!!

Yes senior season is just about here – we’re looking forward to getting Merrick in front of Ally’s camera again for his senior pics and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Everything Was Coming Up Roses With Rose on Her Spokesmodel Session!

We became instant fans of Rose – it didn’t take long.  Actually we’re fans of Rose and her mom Sharyn whom we recently did a headshot for and we were with Rose at the BBYO Building Entrepreneurship event recently so we’ve become fast friends!  Rose is a character in the best way – she’s funny – and she’s smart, adorable, dynamic – all the things!  We’re thrilled to have her representing our studio for the rising high school class of 2023 at Walled Lake Northern!

Coming Up Roses

We spent a gorgeous day in Birmingham for her spokesmodel session which has always been a popular spot for our seniors, so let’s get to a few highlights shall we?

Coming Up Roses

Yes!  This was a new spot and angle for Ally and Rose nailed it.  We also need to give a shout out to our neighbors in the mall The Beauty Lounge for Rose’s hair and makeup!

Next we changed spots and outfits (our seniors typically change outfits several times for senior sessions) and we fired up the Facebook Live for a little behind the scenes fun!

And here’s the result!

Coming Up Roses

Gorgeous girl!

Another outfit change and….wow.

Coming Up Roses

This was the one that got Sharyn…  a really sweet moment when mom got emotional over her baby looking so beautiful.  I grabbed a pic with the iPhone…

Gets us in the feels…

Okay back to some more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram:

Oh but we’re not done… we have a little bonus…
 
Rose was posing for this next pic when THE most adorable little photobomber decided to join us – we asked and her mom said yes, so here you go!
 
 
Everything was coming up Roses indeed – Rose was making friends!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her as we look forward to the fast approaching senior season – we can’t wait to get her in front of Ally’s camera again!

Building Entrepreneurship With BBYO In Detroit!

Building Entrepreneurship is a BBYO program that we were honored to participate in recently in Detroit!  BBYO is the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement aspiring to involve more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences, and both of our kids were very active in it while they were in high school.  We love to give back and anytime we can tell our story and mentor young people about business and careers we are game!

Building Entrepreneurship!

Ally did most of the presenting to this crew of young ladies at the Hilton Garden Inn in Detroit where I grabbed this pano of the room (with my iPhone)…

Building Entrepreneurship

We always think it’s important to get young people to start thinking about viewing the world from a business standpoint – even if it’s just in terms of following your passion and looking at the social media platforms they are already on from a marketing and career standpoint.  Follow the brands and professions you like on Instagram for example in addition to your friends!  See how they operate, how they communicate to their communities.  It’s easy to learn plenty even if you aren’t sure what you want to do with your life!

After we told the story of Frameable Faces with some tips about how we grew the business and some advice mixed in we took a couple of fun group photos… 

First with smiles…

Building Entrepreneurship

And then with some silliness… hehe…

Building Entrepreneurship

All in all it was a great experience for us with this fantastic group!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with them!

Her Royal Highness Princess Pinky Girl Graces The Studio!

Princess Pinky Girl herself (aka Jenn Fishkind) came to the studio for some updated photos for her website and we had a blast!  Jenn has really grown her brand with almost 5 million followers on her Pinterest page and a huge following of the fun, yummy and easy recipes at her blog.  You should check out her website and subscribe to her email newsletter – like immediately.  The girl knows a little something about branding so we were honored that she chose us to take hers to yet another level! 

Meanwhile this was such a fun session with candy, cupcakes and even a candy crown courtesy of our friend on the East Coast Ms. Candy Blog, and Jenn crushed it – she looked fabulous and we laughed a whole lot….  let’s get to a few highlights!

Her Royal Highness – Princess Pinky Girl! 

Princess Pinky Girl

Okay she’s adorable…

We have some fun behind the scenes from the session too – first from Facebook:

And we’re just bubbling over with joy over this next one…

Princess Pinky Girl

See what we did there…?

At this point we headed over to LaFata Cabinets here at the Orchard Mall – they’re our neighbors and they have a beautiful showroom!  A big thank you to them for letting us use their store!

Here’s a little more behind the scenes this time from Instagram over at Lafata Cabinets:

Sophia Starts Us Off For The Class Of 2023 Spokesmodels!

Sophia starts things off for the class of 2023!  We are so excited to say that!  We love our high school seniors and we love when we get to start photographing our new crew of rising seniors for the upcoming season that typically gets underway in the summer.

We are particularly thrilled to have Sophia representing us because she is a legacy – her sister Ava crushed it as a senior for us also representing Bloomfield Hills High School just a couple years ago so we are happy to be hanging with these peeps again – especially Sophia’s mom Stacie whom we adore and go way back with.

Sophia Starts Us Off!

Spring hasn’t totally sprung yet and it was a little chilly for this day but we still managed to get outside for a bit.  But first let’s focus on the studio pics including this one with the red gel casting that color around the edges of Sophia’s hair!

Sophia Starts

Cool right?  We’ll see if the gels make a comeback this year!

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

And here’s one more with an outfit change in the studio:

Sophia Starts

Gorgeous girl!

At this point we headed outside and that is pretty typical for our seniors – multiple outfits, multiple spots including studio and location, but we always meet ahead of time to plan it all out and strategize.

Sophia Starts

A little off camera flash and voila!  

One more location switch and here’s some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

And there you have it – spokesmodel season is here and Sophia starts it in stunning style!  Cant wait to photograph her again on her senior session and to photograph the rest of our crew!  Stay tuned….

Carly Takes Over The Studio For Carly Ann Fit Fitness Photos!

Carly is awesome.  We are so impressed with this young lady and we’re not surprised since we’ve known her parents for decades – I grew up with her mom and played high school football and ran track with her dad so it was a little surreal having her here ready to launch her coaching business Carly Ann Fit to the next level with some fresh new fitness photos!

You can follow Carly at her Instagram page – she takes the whole approach of mind, body and soul with her clients and she’s a motivational dynamo with a 90 day transformation plan for her peeps!  Let’s get to the highlights of her session!

Carly Ann Fit Fitness Photos!

Fitness Photos

What a bad ass pose.  And Carly will be the first to tell you that SHE worked really hard to get the body she has now – gotta love a fitness coach that is walking the walk.  We also have some fun behind the scenes from the session first on Facebook:

Carly then changed into a few different outfits and here’s just a sampling of poses and style that captures her brand:
