Blake is a bad dude and what a senior session we had with him! As for him being a bad dude let me explain… We’ve known Blake and his mom for a bit and our son Tony actually was on the swimming team with Blake in middle school – even back then Blake was blowing people out of the pool. He’s a heck of an athlete. But part of being a bad dude is also being nice to your mom and Blake appears to have a great relationship with his mom Carol who joined us. He’s just a mild mannered enjoyable guy to be around! He plays guitar too so he is really well rounded. Overall those are the things that make him a bad dude!

First to Pontiac…

Blake was really prepared with the style – Ally loves pink shirts on guys and he had his letter jacket, a formal look, and his guitar too. We had a great game plan to head to Pontiac and get some edgy shots and that’s what we did first so we will start there:

Self assured and cool!

Next we have a nice one in the letter jacket.

Before we get to a couple more let’s see some of the behind the scenes from the day. First with our 6 second looping vine which includes Blake playing a couple chords from “All Along The Watchtower” in front of a huge Jimi Hendrix canvas!

Blake's session was REALLY cool – he really rocked it!☺️#ClassOf2017 #SeniorPictures https://t.co/0BUczkP5Ud

6 Secrets About Senior Pictures The Government Is Hiding

June 3, 2014

by Doug Cohen

No Comments

The government knows PLENTY about high school senior pictures – trust me. Do not think for a second that they would ever let these secrets get out if they could plug all the leaks. At great risk to my well being I am going to share these secrets with you because, well, I think they are important darn it. So here are 6 secrets about senior pictures the government is hiding:

Photographs in the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.

1. Senior pictures could stop North Korea. If you saw this recently you know the story goes that Kim Jong Un is making all men in North Korea get his style of haircut. Our seniors are all about individual expression and being themselves. Someone told me that they heard someone tell someone else that a friend said… our government is planning to unleash a bunch of our senior pictures on the North Korean population to incite an overthrow of Kim Jong Un when the people of North Korea realize how nice it looks to express yourself with any style of hair you like.

2. Senior pictures are fun. Okay this is a BIG one. I’m going to guess that being a senator for example is not nearly as fun as taking senior pictures. The government has tons of sealed files on just how fun senior pictures are and they do NOT want you to know. Maybe the government is just jealous.

3. Aliens love senior pictures. That is the real story behind Hangar 18. Aliens came to Earth to pass out wallets.

4. Senior pictures make Presidents. Sure this doesn’t always fit the narrative of character-shaping events they want you to focus on like George Washington chopping down a cherry tree (okay maybe that’s a bad example since there were no cameras during George Washington’s time nor were there “high schools”) or Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan Hill in the Spanish American War – but there are plenty of sealed documents that prove it was how most of our leaders felt about their awesome senior pictures that set them on the path to the White House.

5. The government spied on Soviet on-location senior photo sessions during the Cold War. Decades before senior photos became really popular in the U.S.A. some Soviet photographers were going out on location with high school seniors. Apparently much like everything else during that time we viewed this as a communist threat, because, well, it was the Soviets. The whole thing was short lived since the Soviets scuttled the on location program anyway, presumably because the pictures were boring. The photographers were hired by the Soviet communist regime and were not allowed to be very creative.

6. The government tried to limit outfit changes during senior sessions. This was just one of those silly “government getting too big” things. The bill was defeated when it was revealed that term limits have nothing to do with outfit limits and that freedom of expression does apply to clothing.

I know that exposing these secrets can put me at great risk but I felt it was my duty to help my fellow Americans. Hopefully the government won’t get mad and do anythi

An Interview with Reflecto!

November 24, 2012

by Doug Cohen

1 Comment

Those of you who have been on location with us have very likely met Reflecto. He’s our sometimes rogue, somewhat snarky, and quite often arrogant reflector. He is really a character and while sometimes he gets a little out of line he’s definitely never boring, so we thought we would sit down for an interview with Reflecto and find out what’s on his mind….

FF: Let’s get right to it – it’s been said that you are a sometimes-rogue, somewhat snarky, and even arrogant reflector. Is that fair?

Reflecto: Listen, haters are gonna hate, so let ’em is what I say. It’s pretty simple. If I am awesome and I say so does that make me the bad guy for speaking the truth?

FF: Okay….. Uh – we won’t try to answer that question. How about you tell us about your childhood?

Reflecto: I try not to talk about my past too much. My family moved around a lot and had various jobs – wrapping York peppermint patties, getting odd jobs as foil – stuff like that. I decided when I was old enough that I would never settle and I was able to snag this gig with Frameable Faces. Now I run the place! Haha! Follow me on twitter at @reflect_o! Winning! I’m the be-

FF: Hey easy – let’s stay on topic okay?

Reflecto: Whatever – fine.

FF: What was your best moment on a photo shoot?

Reflecto: When you are supremely talented like me there are just too many to choose from. I enjoyed smacking Doug in the face on a shoot once. It was quite genius really – I waited for a really windy day and then “bam”! I really think he just thought it was the wind that caused it. Hahaha!

FF: You must have other moments that don’t involve violence…

Reflecto: Okay I’ll admit that I do get some satisfaction when my beautiful reflecting makes a senior look great. It definitely validates how great I am, and if the #frameables (yes I’ll appease Doug and Ally and call them that) are happy as a result then that’s a bonus.

FF: Who is Blocko?

Reflecto: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

(side note – “Blocko” is Reflecto’s alter ego and he’s nicer than Reflecto – we’re not sure why he didn’t want to talk about it)

FF: We know that sometimes you try to blind the frameables by reflecting the sun into their eyes. Do you think they deserve that?

Reflecto: The media embellished that story. My talent can be “blinding” – whoever made that comment meant it figuratively not literally. Like Michael Jackson told Paul McCartney I’m a lover not a fighter.
