The Third Time Was A Charm With Ian For His Senior Pictures!

Ian is the man – he’s definitely one of the last if not THE last senior for the class of 2019 for us and he took the fact that he got rained out twice totally in stride.  What a great kid.  We really enjoyed our day with him and the wait was worth it – we had a perfect day for the third try even while the forecast was threatening to ruin it again!

Third Time’s The Charm With Ian

We started in the studio for a bit before we headed out and worked with the grey backdrop:

Ian

What a stud!  Love the look.

One more up close with just the collared shirt:

Ian

We also grabbed a few cap and gown photos and here’s a little behind the scenes of that from Facebook Live:

At this point we headed outside to Birmingham to get some location photos on a beautiful day!

Ian

We love the shades – we think more seniors should use them just like this!

We also have some more fun behind the scenes from Birmingham from when we went live on Instagram!


 

And we’ll leave you with this last one up close:

Ian

Good times, great smile!
 
And there you have it – the third time was a charm with Ian indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Josh Makes A Triumphant Return To The Studio For Senior Pics!

Josh made his triumphant return to the studio!!!  We love this dude – he and our Tony are the best of buddies and we’re going to miss him seeing him as often when he heads off to Western Michigan to be a Bronco!  In the meantime after representing our studio as a spokesmodel for the class of 2019 he came back in with his mom Amy to get a few more studio pics so let’s get to a few highlights!

Triumpant Return…!

Gotta love the ivy cap he started off with – it belonged to his grandpa – SO COOL.

Triumphant Return

We also have some hilarious behind the scenes action first from Facebook Live!

Next we changed it up with a couple different looks on the white background – first with the full length chillin’ on the stool:

Triumphant Return

Josh changed shirts one more time for these next couple:

Triumphant Return

Stud!

We went live a second time as well, this time on Instagram!

And we’ll leave you with this up close and smiling pose…

Triumphant Return
 That’s a confident dude – he’s got it together and he had a triumphant return to the studio indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with him!

A Fun And Casual Day For Senior Pictures With Elle!

Elle continues the exciting run on high school athletes that we’ve had here at the studio – she’s going to play hockey at Yale which she comes by honestly since the whole family including dad played hockey – okay maybe with the exception of mom Nicole who was a tennis player!  An athletic family to be sure!  Meanwhile Elle is bright and fun too and we had a blast with her, Nicole and her sister Sasha who joined us!
 

Fun With Elle…

 
We did this all on location in Birmingham and we had a great day for it!  Elle started out in this cute dress:
 
Elle
Love it!
 
We also have some fun behind the scenes action and I have to say this is literally one of my all time fave senior livestreams just because of the burst of laughter from Sasha when I start out with my “Yo Yo Yo Instafam!”  Haha!
 

Now for a few more pics:
 
Elle
Just being fun and playful with the Yale gear on!
 
Elle
We have a little more behind the scenes fun as well this time from Facebook Live playing around with Elle’s USA Hockey gear:

And we’ll leave you with this one as Elle says “Peace Out!”
 
Elle
And there you have it!  Fun times with Elle!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Paige Turns The Page to Boulder But Not Before Some Senior Pictures!

Paige is turning the page – from high school to college out in Boulder as a Colorado Buffalo and what’s crazy about that is that makes TWO of our spokesmodels for the class of 2019 who are attending Colorado in the fall, as Kaitlyn is as well!  Hmmm…. Ally and I may have to include Boulder on a new Frameable Faces campus tour to visit these awesome young ladies!  Ha!  But I digress…. 

The point here is that we’ve loved our time with Paige and her mom Maxine – we had a great spokesmodel session a year ago now, and we picked up right where we left off this time around.

Paige Turns The Page

We started on location at Quarton Lake in the morning while the sun was low although we had a little cloud cover which can always work to your advantage as well:

Paige Turns

Stunner!!!

This was a hard session to narrow down the results from – it was pretty perfect…  we did have some fun with the behind the scenes as usual – first with Facebook Live:

And here’s a couple more from outside…

Paige Turns

Pretty Paige In Pink!

And one more just flat-out gorgeous photo…

Paige Turns

At this time we headed back to the studio to close it out with a few on the white background and we have a little more fun behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

And one of the results:

Paige Turns

Paige looks confident, in control and well – ready to turn the page!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our session with her!

The Highlights Of Ian’s Senior Session Tell A Story Indeed!

Telling a good story is important.  It makes life fun and interesting!  You might say we tell stories here through our photos and Ally is quite talented at doing so.  That was certainly the case when Ian visited the studio and we weren’t surprised since we’ve known this kid for many years.  He’s a funny dude and the whole family is great – they are friends of ours and we’ve photographed all of them before at one time or another.  The thing is, on this day we took the whole storytelling notion a step further.  Ian’s spirit animal got involved and we kicked it up a notch.  Ian’s senior session tells a story indeed!  But more on that later….  For now we’ll just start with a few photos:

Ian’s Session Tells A Story Indeed…

This was an all-studio session which is typically nice and chill.  Let’s get a look at our guy…

Story Indeed

Looking good!  Ally loves when guys are in a pink tone…

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

Here’s another one this time in black and white:

Story Indeed

Ally got him – looks like he’s got a giggle coming on…

Here’s a cool one on the black backdrop…

Story Indeed

And now here is where the story really takes a turn…. hehe.

We have a big stuffed Garfield here at the studio – we’re not even really sure why, but Ian’s mom Emma spotted it and said she thinks Garfield is Ian’s “spirit animal” so we all decided that Garfield should be in on the action.  As a matter of fact we pulled up a settee for Garfield to sit on while Ian read a very inappropriate comic book created by the man responsible for the Doug & Ally Morning Show logo – the Artful Doodler himself from the U.K. – Rich Nairn!  Ian read Dr. Ripper’s Sinister Shipmates to Garfield in a setting with story time piano music and, well…. you just have to see it for yourself.  Here is the replay from our Periscope broadcast…  LOL!

If you have trouble with that link here’s another:  https://www.pscp.tv/FrameableFaces/1dRKZOLPwbVGB

And here is the memorable result:

Story Indeed

A wonderful story indeed!

And there you have it!  A fun time was had by all and we got some fantastic photos out of it too!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Our Own Senior Tony Takes on the Big Apple and The Brooklyn Bridge!

Time to share some photos from our very own senior who makes us so proud! It’s Tony Time! We’re actually not even done with Tony yet – as with Lacey we’re kinda taking advantage of being the photographers for our own kids senior pics.  We’ve already done a spokesmodel session with him and there will probably be one more session for Tony.  But in the meantime we decided that New York City could be a cool location for Tony’s session, and more specifically the Brooklyn Bridge! We’d never actually walked across it before so we thought we would give it a shot. It was certainly a little tricky – lots of people to navigate but we got it done. We also hit a couple spots in Westchester County on the Hudson River and in a forest. We’re pretty pumped to share these so let’s get to it:

Tony On The Brooklyn Bridge!

We actually parked in Brooklyn so we could photograph towards Manhattan and it was a little busy and a little chilly but our lighting was great (a great sundown orange sky and off camera flash) and we got some great photos!

Brooklyn Bridge

Looking good with Lady Liberty against the orange sky…

We also have plenty of fun behind the scenes and you’ll see how hectic it was for us!  First from Facebook:

Here’s a cool one where you really get a nice view of the bridge with our guy:

Brooklyn Bridge

Here’s some more behind the scenes from the Instagram broadcast…

We were staying with friends in Westchester County on this trip and the next day we headed up to a couple scenic spots in the woods and on the Hudson River.  First at Dobbs Ferry…

Brooklyn Bridge

We also have a few Snapchat highlights where you can get a sense of the scenic spot on the Hudson River!

We’ll leave you with one more close up in another natural setting:

Brooklyn BridgeSo there you have it!  A very cool experience for us to be able to get these awesome shots of our own in New York!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time in the Big Apple!

The Best Of The Class Of 2019 Senior Snapchat Stories!

What a year (so far) it’s been for our Class of 2019 seniors!  We decided to go back for the first time and create an EPIC recap video of the best of the Class of 2019 Senior Snapchat Stories for you!  We know not everyone has Snapchat, and even if they do they may not have caught all of our stories throughout the senior season so here we go… 

The Class of 2019 Senior Snapchat Stories

2019 Senior Snapchat

This video makes us smile the whole way through – it’s about 15 minutes long and includes everyone we shared highlights of publicly throughout – from Detroit to Ann Arbor, Pontiac to New York, summer, fall and winter, with plenty of wildlife, laughs, squad selfies and other shenanigans – but most of all our SENIORS!!!  We love these young people and there are still more of them to come so there will likely be a part 2… 

Enjoy!

Calling Audibles With Andrew For Awesome Senior Picture Results!

Andrew knows how to call audibles – he was the quarterback at Bloomfield Hills High School and a teammate of our Tony, and we watched him grow and develop into a fine player through hard work.  He’s a great kid, and an audible if you didn’t know is basically the decision to adapt and change your plan depending on the circumstances – such as what the defense is presenting before the play during a game, or the weather and timing on a photo session perhaps.  In our case we improvised for some textures instead of going into a city setting and we were able to get into the locker room at BHHS for a couple cool photos and to warm up since it was freezing outside.  BUT we still got the nighttime bleacher photo that we wanted so it all worked out to be a winning session!
 

Audibles With Andrew

 

Let’s start in the studio with a dapper formal picture:

Audible

Stylin’!

We also have some behind the scenes – first with Instagram Live from the studio in uniform:

We switched up from formal to uniform and back again for both in studio and on location – audibles remember?  Let’s head over to the school at this point but first with another stylish up close pic before we get into game gear!

Audible
Looking great!
 
At this point we headed into the locker room and we’ve got more behind the scenes from Facebook Live this time:
 

…and the result:
Audible
Andrew totally looks ready to go out and do battle….and we’ll stay with the football look for one of our faves to do – we’ve only done this a few times ever and each time it’s killer…
 
Audible
 
And there you have it!  We enjoyed watching Andrew on the field this past season with the rest of the Blackhawks – they all made us proud, and we had a great time creating these images and calling audibles with Andrew!  We hoped you enjoyed the highlights!

Chase Charmed Us On A Chilly Day For Senior Pictures – A Real Champ!

Chase charmed us alright – we really like this guy.  Just a nice dude and really personable, and we have to give him credit because his day for his senior session was a cold one – it ain’t easy being outside with no coat and smiling through it for photos!  Chase’s mom Courtney came along and eventually the entire extended fam showed up for a few family portraits on location while we were at it!  This blog post however is about our guy Chase so let’s get to the highlights from Birmingham!

Chase Charmed

We set up at Quarton Lake which is where we got all of our images and Chase had a few outfits ready to roll.  The man has style.  He started out in a suit:

Chase Charmed

Chase is the man.

Here we have some behind the scenes fun from the day from Facebook Live!

Quick outfit change and we bounced over to the dock for this relaxed pose…

Chase Charmed

Next we went with a half length and made sure to have that belt buckle in the shot!!! 

Chase Charmed

We have more behind the scenes fun this time from the Instagram replay:

And we’ll leave you with this closeup – Chase still getting it done – like a champ!

Chase Charmed

And there you have it!  Chase charmed us indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

A Legendary Day With Loren In Detroit For Senior Pictures!

Wow what a day with Loren!  Loren was so adorable the first time she came to the studio – she had been following along with some of our sessions on Instagram and elsewhere on social media as many do and she was totally fired up for her turn!  She and her mom Lili had some great ideas for the session and it led us to some things we had never tried before!  We’ll get to that in a little bit, but suffice it to say (as you’re about to see) this was a legendary day with Loren for sure!  Dad Eugen and little bro David even hung out and jumped in for a couple photos at one point so it was a family affair and we had a lot of fun, but this blog post is about Loren, so let’s get to a few pics!

Legendary Day

We started on Belle Isle as we often do and got this image of our girl with the skyline in the background:

Legendary Day

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the day starting with the replay from the livestream on Instagram!

We stayed on Belle Isle for a bit and also got this pretty photo of Loren in the willow!

Legendary DayLove that one!

At this point we switched locations and headed over to the Belt where we captured a cool pic of Loren looking off to her future!  Hehe…

Legendary Day

The overalls with the Hamilton socks rock!

And now for the coup d’état!  It was getting towards evening and it was a little chilly – not quite carnival weather, and yet we had plans for the carousel on the riverwalk – add a perfect dress to match and a legendary photo is created!  We even made this one into a metal sample for the studio!  Truly a fairy tale photo – and first here’s the behind the scenes on Facebook Live!

And the result!

Legendary Day

Amazing!

Yes it was a legendary day that we won’t forget with Loren, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!
