We Were Juiced For Jaden and His Class of 2020 Senior Pictures!

The last time we photographed Jaden he was just a little kid here with his family (check out this old school blog post going back almost a decade), and now he’s grown up to be an awesome young man on his way to pursue his education at Florida A&M – he’s going to be a Rattler!  We are big fans of this family and we planned Jaden’s session for before the pandemic started, but we didn’t get it in before the stay at home orders went into effect.  So we were happy to be back together taking these pictures since we all had obviously been through a lot since then – these Class of 2020 seniors deserve the best and Jaden brought it!  We love this dude.  This was actually our first session back in the studio since early March so yeah – we were juiced for Jaden!

Juiced For Jaden

This session was all in studio and we’ll start with this black and white photo with the suit and snappy Burberry shirt.

Juiced

We also have some fun behind the scenes from Instagram first where Jaden broke out the Birmingham Groves Falcon letterjacket:

So excited to be back in the studio with this guy. We’re proud of him and the #ClassOf2020 as he heads to the next chapter at FAMU! 🐍☺️ #seniorpictures #MetroDetroit

Here’s another with the Burberry look:

Juiced

We played around with some casual shots as well which you can see in the Facebook Live:

Jaden made it a little more formal as well with the tie for these next couple including this sweet closeup with the Florida A&M hat!

Juiced

What a stud!

Here’s another:

 Juiced

We’re going to throw in one more preview with the cap and gown to close this one out!

Now you see why we were juiced for Jaden!  Jaden’s parents Jahmal and Kimberly have plenty to be proud of with this guy, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Loving Lira As A Class Of 2021 Spokesmodel – A Long Time Coming!

Loving Lira is something we’ve been doing for a solid decade!  She was one of our favorites when we used to do dance photos for the dance studio across the hall and we’ve pretty much planned on having her be a spokesmodel someday all this time.  She’s a character this one – in the very best way – she runs track, plays in the band AND she’s a power lifter!!!  All with a larger than life personality and we are so happy to be photographing her now as a rising senior!

Loving Lira!

Let’s get to some highlights shall we?  First we went to one of our favorite spots in West Bloomfield where we found some pretty patches of purple!

Loving Lira

Love it – this pic is SO Lira!

Of course we have some behind the scenes fun as well – first from the Facebook Livestream:

And here’s one more with that outfit with a more thoughtful pose in a classic black and white:

Loving Lira

Time to change outfits and location – our seniors typically go with between 4-6 outfits in a session… and for these we headed to Birmingham and Quarton Lake which is a popular spot with our seniors!

Loving Lira

A little water, a little backlight – a lot of beauty…

One more behind the scenes video this time from Instagram!   

And we’ll leave you with this last one with the waterfall as the backdrop:

Loving Lira

And there you go! Loving Lira indeed for the class of 2021!  The new senior season has begun so get on our calendar ASAP!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Lira!

Mad About Maddie – Class of 2021 Version! Spokesmodel highlights!

This is the second year in a row we’ve had a spokesmodel named Maddie and we may have to just start recruiting Maddies as a strategy.  They seem to be pretty awesome as a category.  This Maddie is no exception – outgoing with a ton of personality and just a sweetheart!  We’ve photographed her cousins in the past so there is some connection there, her mom Stephanie is a delight, and we’re thrilled to have her representing the Farmington Hills Mercy Marlins for the class of 2021!
 

Mad About Maddie

 
We actually started out at Maddie’s house and we had a lovely day for pictures!
 
About Maddie
Gorgeous right?  Love the lake photos…
 
Here’s another one from the home front:
 
About Maddie
Okay she’s adorable.  Maddie is into theater so she definitely has that presence!
 
At this point it was time to head outside and hit one of our favorite locations by Orchard Lake, and we have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook Live:
 

Back to a couple more pics – how about this close up at Orchard Lake?
 
About Maddie
Love that one!  And we have a little more behind the scenes too this time from Instagram TV!

A perfect day in Orchard Lake for some #ClassOf2021 spokesmodel #SeniorPictures with @maddie_surowiec – so happy to be outside with people!!! Love this girl! 💗

And we’ll leave you with one more!
 
About Maddie
And there it is – mad about Maddie indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!   Give us a call now to talk senior pictures!

Leah Leads Us Back To Action…and Pontiac For Spokesmodel Pics!

Just being able to write “Leah Leads Us Back To Action” is a joy for so many reasons!  For starters this was our first photo session in months after being home to flatten the curve of the pandemic, so just getting out and being back at it doing what we love was exhilarating.  But to be with Leah and her mom Emma made it even better because we’re friends and have been for many years.  So to have that interaction for the first time and to do it with people we already know and care about was sustenance for the soul!  Leah is representing the Bloomfield Hills Blackhawks for the class of 2021 and when you add in the fact that she brought her “A game” and SLAYED – well that’s just the icing on the cake….  Let’s get to some highlights!

Leah Leads Us Back To Action

We decided to go edgy and head to Pontiac, masks and all!  We like to photograph in Pontiac from time to time for a little urban vibe.

Leah Leads

Love. The. Shoes.  And the gorgeous girl wearing them.

We also have some fun behind the scenes action for you first from our Facebook Livestream:

Leah had a few outfit changes so next up we have a lyrical costume with pointe shoes – this next setup is amazing: 

Leah Leads

Just so cool – the costume matching the rail, Leah on pointe – just the whole thing…. wow.

Moving around downtown Pontiac we discovered a little spot we either hadn’t noticed before or was newly painted since last fall:

Leah Leads

Such a fun wall and Leah has that little smize going!  Here’s some more behind the scenes this time embedded straight from Instagram TV!

The final shots just happened impromptu as Leah jumped up on a barrel and flashed the peace sign – with the shades on – just a great way to sum up how we were feeling that day!  Love this girl.

Leah Leads

And there you have it!  Yep – Leah led us back to action which felt so good and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Rachel Rocked Her Headshots In Style – So Much Fun!

Rachel Rocked her headshots – the girl is full of personality and well – zest seems like a good word.  She’s just adorable and she drove a considerable distance to the studio at the beginning of March for some professional headshots.  She’s an actor you see, and we hope to see her on stage & screen someday!  We had a lot of fun with her and knew we liked her the minute she walked in…

Rachel Rocked It…

Now remember these are headshots – not full body poses, but we wanted to capture a few different looks and while we worked with white and pink, we all liked the white background in the end for her.

Here’s a few highlights:

We love our Angela.  She’s been with us as our event photographer for close to a decade at this point so many of you know her and she and hubby Cam just had another baby!  We are so thrilled for them, and even though we were not able to photograph their newborn session for little Autumn this time, we did get a maternity session (the last one was epic too) in in the first week of March at the studio and we have some of the wonderful highlights to show you here!

Alexandra Made Her Debut To The World At The Studio!

We have had a little run on newborns this year already, and we are looking forward to seeing them again safely for their 6 month sessions!  We fell in love with Kim the first time we met her at the studio and her hubby Adam whom we met when Kim returned with him and new addition Alexandra is a great guy too!  We really enjoyed having them at the studio for these wonderful newborn portraits!  We hope the highlights of the day Alexandra made her debut bring a smile to your face like they do ours!

Ellie Elicits Extreme Enjoyment on Her Spokesmodel Session!

We had a wonderful time – extreme enjoyment you might say a few weeks ago with Ellie for her spokesmodel session for the class of 2021!  We are pleased to share these highlights during times of stress as we continue to prepare for the upcoming senior class, and Ellie is representing our studio for North Farmington High School – our alma mater! 
 
Meanwhile we go way back with Ellie’s family – Doug went to Michigan with Ellie’s mom Kari and she joined us for the session which we did mostly in the studio, but we did manage to get outside for a bit even though it was just slightly chilly…  hehe.  So let’s get to some highlights!
 

Extreme Enjoyment With Ellie

 
You’ll see for yourself how delightful Ellie is in the behind the scenes stuff, and we’ll get to the photo highlights in a bit, but first we have an added element to this session that we are playing with to start offering this summer…
 
Susan Adams is a fantastic local photographer whom we have admired for a few years now.  She specializes in sports and she has captured some great images of our son Tony as the photographer for Bloomfield Hills Schools.  We are looking to bring Susan and her talents on board for yes – sports (more on that in the future), but also for an idea we had for professional behind-the-scenes storytelling through photos of the day with our seniors!  As you know Doug documents plenty of behind the scenes fun during our sessions with livestreaming and more on Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok with his iPhone.  But senior photos are really an event for our peeps and this could be a great option for those who want to include it in their experience.  With Ellie, Susan met up with her while she was having her makeup done by Class of 2011 Frameable Faces Senior Gabby Zilberberg!  We love when things like this happen!  She also came over to the studio to grab a few photos as well, so we’ll start with Susan’s pics:
 

Getting started…

Great stuff right? 

Now let’s get to the sneak peeks from the session!

We started off with a little pink on pink.  Love this sweater on this background – just adorable!
 
Extreme Enjoyment
And here is some fun behind the scenes from Facebook – should bring you a smile or two!
 

From there we moved to a wooden backdrop that we love:
 
Extreme Enjoyment
Love that with the cute denim – perfect combo.
 
Next we got into our go-to black fabric…
 
Extreme Enjoyment
Gorgeous – her hair is awesome.
 
Oh and here’s a little TikTok silliness…
 
@frameablefacesBehind the scenes ##seniorpictures ##classof2021 ##metrodetroit @d1ellie Photographer, Director, SPOKESMODEL! Everybody Vogue! 😛♬ Vogue – Madonna

At this point it was time to get a few pics outdoors.  And actually it was toasty warm!  Okay maybe not, but we told Ellie to pretend it was…  hehe…
 
Here’s some behind the scenes from outside that we streamed on Instagram:
 

And we’ll leave you with this one photo from on location.  So pretty!!!
 
Extreme Enjoyment
And there you have it!  Extreme enjoyment with Ellie indeed!  We are looking forward to bringing you more photos of these awesome young peeps and we look towards the summer for senior pictures!
 
Meanwhile, looking for some fun?  A diversion?  Check out our podcast – all the links are below and we actually talked about Ellie’s session a bit on episode 8!

Brian and Maeghan’s Frameable Family Is Really What It’s All About!

Brian and Maeghan have such a great Frameable family in every respect!  Their son goes to our awesome next door neighbor Tru Martial Arts, so they’ve walked by our studio a bunch of times.  They said it had been way too long since they had professional family portraits so they came in and even brought their pup Denny! 

Brian & Maeghan’s Frameable Family 

So let’s get to some highlights!  We’ll start with the perfect family portrait – smiles all the way around – even Denny!

Frameable Family

Love it – and here’s some fun behind the scenes with the crew from Facebook!


 Now the sweetest sibling pic….
