Nominating Nora For Nabbing A Perfect Senior Session!

by
No Comments

In the category for Nabbing A Perfect Senior Session we are nominating Nora!!!  Holy moly – everything about this one is fabulous.  We’ve known Nora going back to elementary school days in the Magnet program at Roosevelt Elementary with our daughter Lacey, and she was always a sweetheart of a little girl then.  Now that’s she’s a senior she’s still the same sweetheart, just all grown up and more beautiful than ever!  We were so happy to have her here and we had so much fun with her and her mom Rajaa!  We’re pretty excited to present these sneak peeks…

Nominating Nora…

 We started out in the studio and we’ll highlight one of those photos first with the white outfit on the white backdrop.  White on white or black on black both look really nice if you light them properly!Nominating Nora

Great right?

We have some behind the scenes fun for you as usual – first from the setup above in the studio on Facebook Live:

For the location part of the session with Nora we started with a return to Orchard Lake at a spot we hadn’t photographed in years to get a photo with the lake in the background and here’s the result:

Nominating Nora

Spectacular!

Here’s some more behind the scenes – this time at the lake on YouTube Live:

At this point we had another stop to make – this time over behind the West Bloomfield Library and the light was perfect!  These next two photos Nora was really in the zone.  This first one in the meadow with the slight haze and the backlight on her hair…

Nominating Nora

…breathtakingly beautiful!!!  Wow.

And this one with Nora just relaxing up close and personal….

Nominating Nora

Awesome.  You can see why we are nominating Nora for nabbing a perfect senior session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

We Know You Will See The Allure Of Liz’s Lovely Senior Session!

by
No Comments

The allure of Liz’s lovely senior session is strong indeed because it’s um…..awesome!  We are big fans of this girl – she has an artist’s point of view as an aspiring photographer herself and we really enjoyed photographing her!  The only problem is that we’re a Canon shop and she shoots with a Nikon – ha – but that just proves how much we like her that we still let her into the studio and even took a photo of her with her camera which you’ll see below!  Liz’s mom Marion came along for the fun, Liz looked amazing and we are excited to show you these highlights so let’s get to it…

Allure Of Liz’s Lovely Senior Session

We started out in the studio and here is a good time to give a shout out to Mandy Rose studio for the makeup – a fantastic job as usual.

Allure

Love that setup with the damask backdrop and the wooden floor!  And love Liz’s style!

We also have some fun behind the scenes here first with the replay of our YouTube Live broadcast getting the photo above!

While we were in the studio we let Liz break out her Nikon and we took this fun photo:

Allure

So fun – a girl and her camera and a girl after our own hearts!!!

At this point it was time to head out on location in Birmingham where we had a great day and where we captured this next photo – stunning really…

Allure

Wow.  Absolutely gorgeous.

Here’s another behind the scenes replay from the day this time from Facebook Live:

  And here is a final shot which comes from the replay above:

Allure

Adorable!!!

And there you have it – we’re pretty confident you get the allure of Liz’s lovely session after seeing these sneak peeks!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Sami’s Sublime Senior Session Was One To Remember!

by
No Comments

Sami’s sublime senior session was one to remember, and why wouldn’t it be?  We already photographed Sami before as a spokesmodel representing the class of 2018 and that session was fab so we already knew we could look forward to another awesome outing!  This time we went to the E.L. Johsnon Nature Center in Bloomfield Hills and our conditions were perfect!  Sami’s mom Lisa and her boyfriend Greg joined to be Sami’s cheering section too!  Great lighting, great senior and plenty of natural beauty all around…. much to enjoy so let’s get to it!

Sami’s Sublime Senior Session

Our first stop was on this beautiful long bridge – a great photo to kick it off…

Sublime Senior Session Sublime!  The backlight on her hair is such a great accent and Sami is off to a perfect start here!

We also have some behind the scenes fun for you too – first with the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast:

At this point we headed out on the trails to get some pure nature – flowers, trees – plenty of beauty!

Sublime Senior SessionSo pretty!

Sublime Senior Session

Just a relaxed, happy Sami here – love it.

We also have some more behind the scenes this time from the YouTube Live replay:

And we’ll leave you with this lovely photo of Sami just being Sami….

Sublime Senior Session

Sublime indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Sami – it was definitely one to remember!

A Dazzling Day In Detroit With Dani For Her Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

We gushed about Dani plenty when we blogged about her spokesmodel session and after knowing her for about 6 months as she’s represented the studio for the class of 2018 we can say with certainty it was all justified.  We LOVE this girl and we definitely had a dazzling day with her in Detroit!  Her mom Diana came along for the fun and as you’ll see it was a session to remember.

Dazzling Day With Dani

Many of the highlights of this session ended up being in The Belt which we’ll get to, but we started out on Belle Isle and captured this stunner:

Dazzling Day

Wow – dazzling right?  I also have to say that I’ve been playing around with the new Snapchat filters on my iPhone for some of the behind the scenes stuff we put on our Snapchat stories and I think this one of Ally capturing the photo of Dani above is worth including here – like a cool little painting…

Meanwhile we have the YouTube live broadcast replay from Belle Isle as well for you here:

Now let’s head over to The Belt in downtown Detroit where we captured some real winners!

Dazzling Day

Love it – and here is the behind the scenes Facebook Live broadcast replay that goes with that shot:

Her outfit seemed to be just perfect for the colors there too….

Dazzling Day

We also went to an art gallery there that rotates installations of different mediums and we’ve been lucky enough to be there when they invited us in to take photos.  That’s where this last one was captured:

Dazzling Day

So cool!  And there you have it – a dazzling day in Detroit with Dani indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Mason Makes It Happen On His Senior Picture Session!

by
No Comments

Mason definitely made it happen on his senior session – and it wasn’t his first one.  Okay well it was his first one that was his senior session but he came along on his brother Reed’s session a year ago so he knew what to expect and he was ready to roll.  What a great kid – the kind of kid you can look at him a certain way and get him laughing and then everyone is laughing.  We had a lot of fun and mom Tracie and dad Brent joined again and we’ve known them for decades.  Brent is one of the few really cool people I met back in my corporate days who I’ve remained friends with and the whole family is great.

Mason Makes It Happen

So with Mason the plan was to head over to the Franklin Cider Mill to get some location photos – always a great spot and we’ll start there:

Mason

Looking great!  The conditions were fantastic too as you can see with that great backlight!

We also have some fun behind the scenes action for you first with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

And one more up close and personal with our guy before we head back to the studio:

Mason

Stud!!!

At this point we headed back to the studio to get a few more starting with this one…

Mason

How great is the bow tie?  More seniors should wear these…. just sayin’

Here’s another behind the scenes replay – this time from YouTube Live:

And we’ll finish with one more casual shot from the studio:

Mason

And there you have it – Mason made it happen for sure, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Evidence Of Emily Being Exceptional On Her Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Yes there is plenty of evidence of Emily being exceptional – not just on her senior session in case the title is misleading, because we’ve known this for a while.  Really since the first time we met her and throughout her time representing the studio as a spokesmodel for the class of 2018!  Plus she’s a North Farmington Raider which always helps, but she’s no ordinary Raider, she’s an accomplished musician and student athlete!  She’s a total character as well so really she’s the whole package and we are huge fans!

Emily Being Exceptional

With Emily we traveled to Ann Arbor and spent the morning photographing on and around the U of M campus which obviously has lots of great spots, and her mom Jen joined – we always have a great time together with them!  We’ll start with this one:

Emily

Stunningly beautiful!

Now there’s a little story with that one… we had a bit of an emergency situation with a big fat bumblebee who was hanging around in the flowers that decided to hitch a ride in Emily’s beautiful long hair and come along in the car…. let’s just say Emily was a little startled when she discovered Mr. Bumblebee.  Holy moly….  haha!  But Emily’s a trooper and she survived!  Lol…

Meanwhile we do have some behind the scenes from our day – not of the bee but of the bee-yoo-tee.  See what I did there?  First with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

Here are a couple more where we explored and took advantage of textures and architecture on campus:

Emily

Framed nicely with the full length shot!

Here’s some more behind the scenes fun from the YouTube Live replay:

And now with the close up…

Emily

Emily being exceptional indeed!

At this point after a delicious vegan lunch at The Lunch Room where our Lacey met up with us as well we headed back to the studio in West Bloomfield to get a couple more photos including some focus on volleyball – and this next photo is LIT….  We usually play with fire on the black backdrop but this one on the grey is just awesome…

Emily

A great one to finish on!  So as you can see there was plenty of evidence of Emily being exceptional and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Oh Olivia We Love Ya And Your Senior Pictures Are Fantastic!

by
No Comments

Oh Olivia we love ya!!!  We have loved this senior pretty much since we met her – she’s cool, smart, athletic, nice, pretty on the inside and out – the whole package!  You may remember that she kicked off the spokesmodel sessions for the class of 2018 with some shots that have already solidified themselves as iconic shots in Frameable Faces lore!

Oh Olivia!

So needless to say we were excited to get her in front of Ally’s camera again this time outside in a gorgeous setting and the results are stunning as we knew they would be!  Since we were exclusively in the studio the first time around we went totally on location this time joined by Olivia’s awesome mom Liz, and……wow!  

Oh Olivia

Love it – the blue shirt and the blue eyes! 

We also have some fun behind the scenes for you – first from the replay of our live broadcast from Facebook Live:

At this point we focused on some of the pretty colors we found – plenty of purple, green and yellow goldenrod like this one:

Oh Olivia

Love that – and that lighting is perfect!  Olivia looks amazing.

We also have more behind the scenes from our replay of our YouTube Live broadcast – such a cool spot on the bridge…

And the sublime result…

Oh Olivia

What a session…  and we’ll leave you with this one last photo:

Oh Olivia

Amazing!!! Oh Olivia we love ya for sure!!!  And we hope you all enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Closing In On Absolute Clearcut Cuteness With Chloe!

by
No Comments

Hmmmm….. how to achieve absolute clearcut cuteness…?  Let’s see:

1 – Very smart sweet cute senior

1- Awesome Family

1- Perfect Day for shooting

Several – Undefinable intangibles that just make everything seem to work

Meet ahead of time, mix all ingredients together and serve!

Yep – the recipe worked.  We definitely closed in on absolute clearcut cuteness with Chloe.

What was kind of fun was the parent trade off that happened!  Chloe’s mom JJ and her dad Adam had just slightly overlapping schedules and so JJ was with us for some of the day and she “handed off” to Adam to hang out with us for the end of the session!

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

So we started with a little bit of studio work which yielded this photo on the white background:

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

We love that one – just cool confident and chill!

At this point we headed out to Birmingham for location photos and we started at Quarton Lake where we got this stunning close up:

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

Wow!

We also have some fun behind the scenes for you starting with the replay of our YouTube Live broadcast – be sure to subscribe to our channel to tune in to future broadcasts!

We also headed into downtown Birmingham to get some city photos like this one – this photo is one that has one of those undefinable intangibles that we mentioned in the recipe above.  We had no idea that the shadow of me holding “Reflecto” our reflector would form a big heart until we saw the result!

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

So fun!

And we also have more behind the scenes fun here from the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

 

And one more photo to share from the top of one of the parking structures – cool shot here…

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

Absolute clearcut cuteness indeed!

And there you have it – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Chloe!!!

Up And At ‘Em For Some Laker Pride And Senior Photos With Jared!

by
No Comments

When we say we were up and at ’em for some Laker Pride with Jared we aren’t kidding!  The first photo you’ll see in these sneak peeks is one you would assume was a night time shot, but it was actually a morning shot before sunrise!  The schedule just worked out that way so we said let’s go for it, and you know what?  There’s something to be said for that “early to bed early to rise” thing…  ha!  Meanwhile Jared is a cool dude and his dad Phil joined us who was very helpful having dabbled in some photography himself.  Needless to say, it was a memorable morning and the proof is in the portraits.

Laker Pride with Jared…

So for the first shot we headed back to the West Bloomfield High School SWAMP (that’s the nickname for their football stadium) where we’ve photographed a couple of Jared’s teammates this year to get what has become somewhat of a signature football shot of ours – another winner – Jared looks the part for sure!

Laker Pride

Looking good – Laker Pride indeed…

Once we got the photos we needed at the Swamp we headed over to Birmingham to take a few city photos and we have a little behind the scenes fun for you starting with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

Here are two of the resulting photos from this segment of the morning:

Laker Pride

Big fans of that one…  and one more:

Laker Pride

Nice!

At this point we brought it back home to the studio to finish up and here is the behind the scenes as Jared donned his letter jacket and showed off a little versatility with a multi-sport approach, and maybe our first shot put photo (?)….

And here is the result!

Laker Pride

Awesome stuff.  We had one heck of a morning with this guy and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with him!

We’ve Got Much Senior Picture Magnificence With Madelin!

by
No Comments

We’ve got much senior picture magnificence with Madelin and we’re excited to share some of it!  Madelin is a Frameable legacy since her brother Nathan was here a couple of years ago, and what’s funny is that while Madelin’s mom Tracy and her sister Nora both joined us on this session, Madelin herself played the “mom role” on Nathan’s session making sure he was on point – so this wasn’t her first rodeo so to speak – ha!  Meanwhile we’ve known Madelin since she was born – her dad is an old college teammate of mine so sessions like these are always a little surreal for us – in a magnificent sort of way…..

Magnificence With Madelin

With this session we spent the entire time on location on a perfect morning the last day of August and we started at Heritage Park in Farmington Hills:

Madelin

Off to a great start!  Madelin looks great and we love that spot on the rocks…

We also have some fun behind the scenes action from the session like we always do – first from the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

Moving right along we have this one of Madeline with a little help from a gentle breeze! 

Madelin

…and one more from Heritage Park up close – LOVE this one:

Madelin

The lighting, the smile – it all came together for that shot for sure – there’s that magnificence we’re talking about!!!

Madeline will be pursuing her education and softball career at U of M Dearborn – so cool!  We wanted to get a photo to reflect that so at this point we headed to a local softball diamond…  here is the behind the scenes from our YouTube Live broadcast:

And the result:

Madelin

Go Blue!

And there you have it!  Senior picture magnificence with Madelin!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!
