Jeremy & Chella…..and One On The Way!

This is starting to happen more and more but it will NEVER get “old.”  We’re talking about former seniors having babies!!!  Jeremy has always been one of our favorites and it’s no surprise that now his wifey Chella is too.  They are a joy to be around and they are expecting – so we were honored to photograph their maternity session here at the studio and had a blast doing it.  We’re thrilled to bring you the highlights!
 

(Soon to not only be) Jeremy & Chella

Chella
Chella looks so radiant!  Ally thinks it’s a boy because Chella looks so beautiful (a girl would “steal” the beauty” lol)!
 
Time for Jeremy to jump in…
 
Chella
So much love!
 
And now for a smile from the happy parents-to-be:
 
Chella
Awesome.
 
And we’ll leave you with this silhouette:
 
Chella
 
These two will be amazing parents and we can’t wait to meet the baby!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with them!

DUDE…..Drake Is Da Man. We Love This Kid And His Senior Pics!

Dude…

If you know you know with this kid.  He’s funny – we had a blast with him!  His grandmother actually set this up and came to the session for the studio part with her sister and then his parents came to the studio to go through the results.  They are ALL a hoot.  And frankly we can say this here that senior pictures were not really on Drake’s radar going into this, but he absolutely had fun and we laughed plenty with this class of 2024 Waterford Mott Corsair!  Let’s get to the highlights!

Dude…..Drake Is Da Man

Dude

Drake’s got the milion-watt smile!  Love the formal look in the studio and we often think this works really well on the grey paper background.

Dude

As does the casual look!  What a stud.

At this point we went on location for a little fall color and we actually got some snow flurries!

Dude

And we’ll leave you with this one…

Dude

Crushed it.

Dude – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Drake!  We’ll always remember this guy.

Illuminating Ian With Some Fantastic Senior Pictures!

We are thrilled to present the highlights from the day we were illuminating Ian for his senior pictures!!!  An awesome day in multiple locations including downtown Detroit and Ian crushed it.  We weren’t surprised since he’s a legacy and his sister Sara’s session was also reeeeeeeally great.  We had a blast and plenty of laughs with this dude and his delightful mom Diana, so let’s get to a few highlights!

Illuminating Ian

Let’s get to it:

Illuminating Ian

Looking good – love this guy’s hair too!

Illuminating Ian

That light, those colors, that senior!!!

Ian is an artist too – one of his mediums of choice is oil on canvas with some mixed materials / media added at times and he brought his art to the proceedings as well – you can see he’s wearing his painter’s jacket above and here’s some behind the scenes from Facebook!

Great fun!

At this point we headed downtown to Detroit where we captured Ian at one of our fave spots!

Illuminating Ian

Here’s some more behind the scenes from Instagram – make sure you’re following us there!

Antoine and Carol – A Love Story and a Day We Won’t Forget!

There is nothing like a good love story.  This was such a special day for us and for one of the happiest and most adorable couples we’ve ever met in our lives!  Antoine and Carol tied the knot and we were there to capture it.  It was a small affair of just family at the courthouse and there was so much emotion and happiness in that little room we’re not sure how the walls could hold it all.
 
Love Story
 
How adorable are they?
 
Love Story
Kiss the bride!!!
 
We actually have a couple of Antoine crying but we’d probably get in trouble if we posted them lol….
 
At this point we headed to a park to get a few photos outdoors and with the other family members in attendance – and we had a perfect day!
 
Here’s a little behind the scenes TikTok of the happy couple:
 
 
@frameablefaces Antoine and Carol have found the greatest love – and we got to be a part of their special day! ❤️ #Wedding #FrameableFaces #Photoshoot #Love #Lovestory #Photography #marriage #MetroDetroit #Couple #CoupleGoals ♬ Love Of My Life – Metrow Ar

And we’ll leave you with one more of Antoine and Carol!
 
Love Story
We are so happy for them and it was an honor to photograph them on such an important and special day!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of this beautiful love story!

Dalton In Detroit – An Odyssey In Pursuit Of Senior Pictures!

Dalton is a legacy senior – we photographed his sister Emma for senior pics and Dalton has actually been in front of Ally’s camera before when we photographed his mom Tara getting engaged (she had no clue it was coming – it was awesome).  Now he’s a rising senior at Country Day and has grown up to be a fine young dude!  We had a blast on this Detroit odyssey and an odyssey it was.  It may or may not have included some legally questionable activity but we’ll leave it at that… lol – it was Tara’s fault anyway….

Dalton In Detroit!

So let’s get to the highlights!  The plan was mostly for the urban look with a few selected murals and it basically turned into a mural scavenger hunt.  Here’s the first one:

Dalton

Looking good!

We also have a little behind the scenes fun first from Facebook:

…and the result:

Dalton

Great serious look on this guy!

Here’s one from one of the cooler bridges in the D:

Dalton

We also have a little behind the scenes from TikTok (make sure you’re following us there):

@frameablefaces Dalton in #Detroit for an epic session… 🏙🙂#FrameableFaces #Photoshoot #Graffiti #Murals #ClassOf2023 #SeniorYear #SeniorPics ♬ Dude – V_Audio

And we’ll leave you with this one from an undisclosed spot lol…

Dalton

So cool!

And there you have it!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Dalton!  It was definitely one to remember…

A Weekend Of Giving Back With Zoofest and For Those Who Stayed!

We have always tried to give back to the community wherever possible and this past weekend was one to remember with TWO different nonprofits we are involved with that mean a lot to us.

Words Of Hope 4 Life – ZOOFEST

Let’s start with mental health in general and the amazing organization Words Of Hope 4 Life!  We have lost too many people we know – young people in particular who have taken their own lives over the last few years including people we have photographed like Noah Cutler,  Zach Raider,  and Anya Middle.  All three were delightful, vibrant people.

It’s been devastating.

We decided we had to get involved – to try to make some kind of difference.  To help end any remaining stigma that exists around mental health in any form and make sure young people are loved and supported.  The pandemic in particular took a toll on everyone and resources are needed to help people who are struggling.  With that in mind we have gotten involved with Words Of Hope 4 Life and we sponsored Zoofest this past weekend at the Detroit Zoo which included the Wild Walk 4 Mental Health.  We were at the Frameable Faces Selfie Station and we also took photos of the event.  It was a big success!  A perfect, sunny room temperature day and the event was well attended!

Here’s a livestream we did on Facebook that will give you a little idea and just remember our amazing event photographer Angela gets the urge to dance anytime we put her on camera: 

Here are a few more images from Zoofest – you can see all the photos Angela took at this link:

Zoofest

Tons of activities, food and vendors under the tent!

Zoofest

A great turnout and fun for all!

Zoofest

YUM!!!

Zoofest

18 year NFL veteran & 7-time pro-bowler Lomas Brown gets interviewed about Zoofest!

Zoofest

We’re happy you’re with us – every day. You matter!!!

Zoofest

Here we are at the selfie station!

For Those Who Stayed

So you may know that Doug played football at the University of Michigan.  He was an outside linebacker on the 1988-89 teams that won back-to-back Big Ten Championships and went to back-to-back Rose Bowls before a knee injury sidelined him, and he continued to work with the staff before graduating in 1992.  It was an amazing experience.

The thing is, playing football at that level is like going through a meat grinder.  It’s HARD.  And for many players the rollercoaster of emotion and the physical brutality of the game isn’t easy to handle.  Some guys come from challenging backgrounds, suddenly find themselves famous at 18, 19 or 20 with massive expectations, and then after a few short years it ends.  In some cases it ends abruptly due to injury, or they don’t make it in the NFL, or they make it briefly in the NFL but aren’t prepared for the comedown of it being over when it ends.  Not everyone has the storybook ending of a long successful football career with lots of money and/or their health intact, and the effects of CTE in particular can be devastating.  Depression, disability, poverty, and yes suicide – these things do happen to the fraternity of brothers who wore the maize and blue.  For Those Who Stayed was created to help and provide resources for those who gave so many thrills to the hundreds of thousands who fill Michigan Stadium on Fall Saturdays in Ann Arbor, and Doug is on the board of directors.

We headed from Zoofest on Sunday to Grand Rapids for the Sunday night reception dinner and the 2nd Annual FTWS Golf Outing at Thousand Oaks Golf Club on Monday, and what a great event it was!  We sponsored a hole and Ally took photos of the foursomes.

Here are a couple of livestreams, and if you’re a fan of Michigan football you’ll recognize a few of these folks…

First from Sunday night – Mike Smith was presented with two beautiful framed photos of his only touchdown for Michigan that he scored in 1977 vs. Northwestern and he was pretty moved.

Next Doug went around to get some other former players on camera in the morning during registration and breakfast…

And here’s one more when Doug’s foursome with Barry Kelley,  Mike Tilmann & Dorian Taylor arrived at the Frameable Faces hole!

Here’s Doug’s foursome!

Barry Kelley, Doug, Michael Tilmann, Dorian Taylor

Our hole!

Fatheads of all the participating players were stationed all along the golf course!

Our crew – missing Tony who was leading a Western Trip with Camp Tamarack!

Doug, Chris Hutchinson, Paul Manning, Barry Kelley – from the incoming freshman class of 1988!

Overall a fantastic and rewarding weekend and we look forward to more!  You can get involved in either of these organizations at any time and Viewfest is coming up on September 17th with Words Of Hope 4 Life in Walled Lake!

We hope you enjoyed the recap of our weekend and we urge you to get involved – make a difference!

Good Karma With Kamari On Her Senior Session In Detroit!

Kamari is literally an anagram of karma with a fun “i” on the end, and if karma is the sum of your energy from your actions then yes, Kamari has good karma judging by the result of this awesome session in Detroit!  We actually knew this already because it’s not the first or even the second time Kamari has been in front of Ally’s camera!  The first time was when she was little for some family pics, and the second time was as a spokesmodel for us for the class of 2022!  She comes from a great family, her dad Jahmal joined us in Detroit for this session & mom Kimberly made an appearance at the studio as well!  We love these guys.  So let’s get to the highlights!

Good Karma With Kamari

We started at the Detroit Institute Of Arts which is a great spot:

Good Karma

She looks amazing!

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

Next we headed over to Eastern Market which is where we spent the rest of the session really – and we got great stuff…
Good Karma
That magenta / pink – what a great background for her!
 
This is where part of that karma kicks in – anytime we find a new spot at a location we’ve been to many times that’s a big deal for us, and we never really noticed this one dead end as an option.  Jahmal gets most of the credit – we think he was the one who pointed it out (?).
 
Good Karma
So cool!
 
Lots of little nooks and crannies in this area and we have a little more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram:

Love it – good karma indeed with Kamari!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!
