Aiden Is The Man And His Senior Picture Session (Sham)Rocked!

by
No Comments
Aiden came to us by way of his mom Kelly whom we’ve known for many years – I (Doug) worked with Kelly and we were in the M.B.A. program at Wayne State together!  We’ve been friends a long time and it was really cool to hang with her and her son for his senior pics!  Aiden is a Catholic Central Shamrock – a football player and shot put / discus thrower for the track team – just a great kid (not that I’m surprised)!!!  We had a pretty neat game plan for him including some studio work, some FIRE, and some location photos at the CC campus, so let’s get to some highlights!
 

Aiden (Sham)Rocked!

We started in the studio for a formal look on the black background:

Aiden
That’s a good looking dude!
 
Next we decided to get some track and field action and some FIRE!!!  This was the first time we photographed discus fire!
 
Aiden
We also have some behind the scenes fun from this photo on Instagram!

At this point we headed over to Catholic Central and took some pictures at the football field and the campus.  Aiden’s dad Eric stopped by as well (I think to bring the football as I recall)!
 
Aiden
Go Shamrocks!
 
Here’s some behind the scenes at the stadium from Facebook! 
 

And we’ll leave you with one more of our guy!
 
Aiden
And there you have it!  Aiden’s session (Sham)rocked indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

A Little Fire, A Little Fall Flava With Faris On His Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Faris is a legacy with big shoes to fill – his sister Nora‘s portrait has been hanging in the studio for a couple years from her senior session!  But we have to say Faris was totally up for the challenge and created plenty of magic on his own with some FIRE and some FALL FLAVA!  Great kid, great family – we were not surprised in the least.  Mom & Dad Rajaa & Elias are delightful and we have a great time hanging with them.  Now let’s get to some highlights!

Fall Flava & Fire with Faris!

We started on location and we were able to get some cool fall colors – mostly some shades of maize first in the background of the meadow…

Faris

 

Good looking dude!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from that photo on Instagram:

Next up we were able to position our guy with some framed fall colors for some Pure Michigan through the brick – very cool shot!

Faris

 

At this point we headed back to the studio where we went with some sports and some style… First the sports with a little West Bloomfield Laker pride – and the FIRE!!! ⚽️🔥

Faris

 

Here is some more behind the scenes of the fire on Facebook:

Lastly we’ll go with the formal look on the grey paper:

Faris

 

What a stud – what a session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Faris!

Gettin’ It Done In Detroit With Jake For Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

What a great day we had with Jake – and he’s a legacy – the youngest of three Frameable seniors!  This dude has personality to burn, and he brought plenty of style and fun to the proceedings.  We started in the studio before we took over Detroit…. so let’s get to the highlights!

First we went with the jersey theme – the teams and swag that mean so much to this guy.  Check it out:

Jake

Cool huh?  We also have some fun behind the scenes from this shot on Facebook:

Now it’s time to highlight the time in the city:

Gettin’ It Done in Detroit with Jake!

First we headed to Eastern Market for a few murals:

Jake

Looking good!

Next we got this cool pic of Jake with the Eminem / D12 mural in the background.  So cool…

We headed over to the belt for a few as well and here’s the behind the scenes from that on Instagram:

We had a dandy of a day indeed in Franklin with Dalia and her mom Marla with a Pure Michigan feel!  We love photographing seniors at the Franklin Cider Mill (and eating a few – okay a lot of donuts)!  So let’s get to some highlights!

A Dandy with Dalia

As I mentioned we started at the Franklin Cider Mill so let’s see a couple of those:

Fire and Detroit Muscle – Jacob’s Senior Session Had It All!

by
No Comments

Fire and Detroit Muscle – now there’s a couple of elements that don’t suck for a senior picture session and Jacob crushed it for his portraits!  We had a great time with this guy and his parents Scott and Jenny – plenty of laughs and the results are fantastic.  Jacob is a West Bloomfield Laker and a well rounded dude.  We’ll show you!

Fire and Detroit Muscle with Jacob

We started in the studio – Jacob is a cellist – not the first one we’ve had from this class of 2022 and he is on the ski team – we focus on the skiing for this highlight – a little fire and ice if you will?

Detroit Muscle

So cool!  We also have some behind the scenes from this segment on Instagram:

by
No Comments

Fiyaaaaaaa is a great word for this session literally and figuratively and yeah, we love this girl.  She’s been on our blog before as a spokesmodel representing the class of 2022 seniors, and we were pretty pumped to get her back in here for another round!  An accomplished student-athlete and North Farmington Raider (like us), Maya is a rock star and we’re big fans of her whole family actually.  Mom Melissa joined us for a fantastic day in the studio and Detroit so let’s get to the highlights!

Maya on Fiyaaaaaaa

Fiyaaaaaaa

Okay so there’s your actual fiyaaaaaaa.

And here’s the behind the scenes on that from Facebook – pretty cool!

Ezra, Meet World. World, Meet Ezra (and his family)!

by
No Comments

Is there anything better than Ezra?  As in photographing Ezra so soon after he arrives in the world?  Not much.  We love newborns and we have to say that this newborn set the record for shortest and easiest newborn portrait session in Frameable Faces history.  Ezra was a champ – no meltdowns, lots of sleeping – just a mellow little dude and he was a joy to photograph.

Oh – and his family…  they’re also a pleasure including his big sis Izzy who was so sweet and helpful!  Parents Stephanie and Kevin have a great little family going here, and we’re here for it all day – to share these wonderful highlights, so let’s get to them!

World Meet Ezra

Let’s start with the classic family portrait!

Ezra

Love that!

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

And how about one more on the black background with big sis!

Ezra

Adorable!

Now for a little focus on the main man for his first professional portraits:

Ezra

OMG.  A beautiful sleeping baby boy!

Well here’s one of those blog posts where the title writes itself!  Qué Bella indeed!  Bella is a beauty and we had a lot of fun on this session with her, her mom Ammi and grandma Marcia (like for real – we were cracking up on the Instagram you’ll see below)!  Detroit always makes for a fun session and Bella killed it.  So let’s get to some highlights shall we?

Qué Bella Indeed

We started out at The Belt which is a very cool spot.

Que Bella

Yasssssss!

We also have our first behind the scenes livestream replay from Facebook:

From there we moved on to Belle Isle but not before a pit stop at Eastern Market for a few and here’s some more video of the fun from Instagram:

A Satisfyingly Stupendous Senior Session With Samantha!

by
No Comments

Satisfyingly Stupendous?  Yep.  Samantha’s senior session was a winner and when the Franklin Cider Mill is involved it’s a scrumptious one too!  We had a lot of fun on this one – Samantha’s whole fam joined and everyone had a good time!  As for Samantha herself we’re fans.  She’s adorable, smart, fun, nice – all the things.  So let’s get to a few highlights shall we?

Satisfyingly Stupendous with Samantha

We started in the studio for a few pics first:

Satisfyingly Stupendous

Love that in black and white…

Next we headed to the Cider Mill (the best one in town) for a few cool spots like this one, and we also want to give a shoutout to Yasmine at Mandy Rose for Samantha’s makeup:

Satisfyingly Stupendous

Gorgeous.

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

We headed down the street at this point for a few other spots like this gazebo:

Satisfyingly Stupendous

Wow right?

We played around with some smoke too – here’s the Instagram video:

Nick Is Our Pick and With His Senior Session We’ll Stick!

by
No Comments

Nick is our pick for being an all around good kid.  Nick had a good time on his senior pics – he just has an easygoing and overall positive attitude that makes him enjoyable to be around and we had a great day in Detroit with him and his mom Jennifer (the rest of the fam met us towards the end as well)!  Nick is a senior in the class of 2022 at the Eton Academy and it’s time to check out a few highlights!

Nick Is Our Pick

We started out with some murals in Eastern Market – how cool is the suit and tie look with the mural?  A little juxtaposition of style perhaps?

We also have some fun behind the scenes – first from Instagram:
