Building Entrepreneurship With BBYO In Detroit!

Building Entrepreneurship is a BBYO program that we were honored to participate in recently in Detroit!  BBYO is the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement aspiring to involve more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences, and both of our kids were very active in it while they were in high school.  We love to give back and anytime we can tell our story and mentor young people about business and careers we are game!

Building Entrepreneurship!

Ally did most of the presenting to this crew of young ladies at the Hilton Garden Inn in Detroit where I grabbed this pano of the room (with my iPhone)…

Building Entrepreneurship

We always think it’s important to get young people to start thinking about viewing the world from a business standpoint – even if it’s just in terms of following your passion and looking at the social media platforms they are already on from a marketing and career standpoint.  Follow the brands and professions you like on Instagram for example in addition to your friends!  See how they operate, how they communicate to their communities.  It’s easy to learn plenty even if you aren’t sure what you want to do with your life!

After we told the story of Frameable Faces with some tips about how we grew the business and some advice mixed in we took a couple of fun group photos… 

First with smiles…

Building Entrepreneurship

And then with some silliness… hehe…

Building Entrepreneurship

All in all it was a great experience for us with this fantastic group!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with them!

Her Royal Highness Princess Pinky Girl Graces The Studio!

Princess Pinky Girl herself (aka Jenn Fishkind) came to the studio for some updated photos for her website and we had a blast!  Jenn has really grown her brand with almost 5 million followers on her Pinterest page and a huge following of the fun, yummy and easy recipes at her blog.  You should check out her website and subscribe to her email newsletter – like immediately.  The girl knows a little something about branding so we were honored that she chose us to take hers to yet another level! 

Meanwhile this was such a fun session with candy, cupcakes and even a candy crown courtesy of our friend on the East Coast Ms. Candy Blog, and Jenn crushed it – she looked fabulous and we laughed a whole lot….  let’s get to a few highlights!

Her Royal Highness – Princess Pinky Girl! 

Princess Pinky Girl

Okay she’s adorable…

We have some fun behind the scenes from the session too – first from Facebook:

And we’re just bubbling over with joy over this next one…

Princess Pinky Girl

See what we did there…?

At this point we headed over to LaFata Cabinets here at the Orchard Mall – they’re our neighbors and they have a beautiful showroom!  A big thank you to them for letting us use their store!

Here’s a little more behind the scenes this time from Instagram over at Lafata Cabinets:

Sophia Starts Us Off For The Class Of 2023 Spokesmodels!

Sophia starts things off for the class of 2023!  We are so excited to say that!  We love our high school seniors and we love when we get to start photographing our new crew of rising seniors for the upcoming season that typically gets underway in the summer.

We are particularly thrilled to have Sophia representing us because she is a legacy – her sister Ava crushed it as a senior for us also representing Bloomfield Hills High School just a couple years ago so we are happy to be hanging with these peeps again – especially Sophia’s mom Stacie whom we adore and go way back with.

Sophia Starts Us Off!

Spring hasn’t totally sprung yet and it was a little chilly for this day but we still managed to get outside for a bit.  But first let’s focus on the studio pics including this one with the red gel casting that color around the edges of Sophia’s hair!

Sophia Starts

Cool right?  We’ll see if the gels make a comeback this year!

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

And here’s one more with an outfit change in the studio:

Sophia Starts

Gorgeous girl!

At this point we headed outside and that is pretty typical for our seniors – multiple outfits, multiple spots including studio and location, but we always meet ahead of time to plan it all out and strategize.

Sophia Starts

A little off camera flash and voila!  

One more location switch and here’s some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

And there you have it – spokesmodel season is here and Sophia starts it in stunning style!  Cant wait to photograph her again on her senior session and to photograph the rest of our crew!  Stay tuned….

Rikki Rocks Her Return To Detroit For Senior Pictures!

We love photographing Rikki – the girl just has IT!  She’s a sweetheart and you’ve seen her on our blog before representing our studio as a spokesmodel for the class of 2022 with an epic session in Detroit.

Here’s the encore.

Now it was chilly – okay flat out cold – but Rikki is a pro and you would never know it from these photos!  Let’s get to the highlights!

Rikki Rocks

This first one is brand new for us – the spot and the vantage point so we’ll call this “The Rikki” from now on!

We also have some behind the scenes from The Belt on Facebook:

Violet Brings The Violet Style To Detroit As Only They Can!

Violet came to the studio with their mom Polly and we didn’t know what we were in for – Violet had very strong ideas about what they envisioned for their senior pictures – a goth approach to the makeup and a very specific look.  So when Violet showed up the day of the session we were stunned at how cool their look actually was, and much credit goes to Yasmine at Mandy Rose for the makeup – as a matter of fact she posted a little video of Violet’s face before they left to come to the studio…

Carly and Chet Got Engaged and We Were There To Capture It!

We’ve known Carly for a long time now dating back to her senior pictures about a decade ago and we LOVE her.  She’s Ally’s birthday twin and we’ve had a great friendship for years now.  She was last here in the studio with her now-fiancé Chet right before the pandemic started with all of their pets, and we liked Chet from our first time meeting him, so when he called Ally to say he wanted us to be there to photograph him popping the question to Carly we were thrilled!

Planning…

We met Chet on location a week in advance in Clarkston to scope out the scene so we could be prepared and in the right spot – Carly had no clue.  We had it all planned out right down to the fake goodbye after the question and the photos when we actually headed straight to their house to get photos of family who flew in and surprised Carly again!  We were pretty pumped.

Carly & Chet Get Engaged

As for the engagement it happened on an EXTREMELY cold day and I was nervous Chet wasn’t going to get Carly to go for a walk – like why would you just “go for a walk” when it’s like 0 degrees?  Well he pulled it off and we were waiting in a nearby gazebo when they approached.  Chet took a knee at the end of the bridge right by us.  We watched the whole thing as Carly freaked out and then her surprise when she discovered it was us taking pics!  Just such an awesome moment.  Let’s get to the pics!

First – THE moment…

CarlySo amazing!

Carly

Think they’re happy?

Here’s some awesome behind the scenes while Carly was still on cloud nine from Facebook

We took a few more engagement pics of the happy couple – here’s three of them – first on the gazebo:

Carly

Back on the bridge:

And we’ll leave you with this one in black and white on a nearby bench…

Carly

LOVE it.

We wish them a life of happiness and we were so glad to be a part of that day!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Kylie Killed It For A Fantastic Fall Senior Session – Like For Real

Ally likes to make fun of me for always saying “So and so KILLED IT” when referring to our seniors.  But guess what?  I. DON’T. CARE.  If they killed it then they killed it!  And Kylie?  SHE KILLED IT.  I actually had a really tough time narrowing down what to highlight for this blog post.  Kylie is a Bloomfield Hills Blackhawk and a swimmer – and such a sweetheart!  Her dad Paul came for the consultation to help plan it and then her mom Whitney came to the session!  Great people!  So let’s get to some highlights:

Kylie Killed It!

 We started in the studio for the yearbook headshot but that was it – everything else was out on location and we got off to a great start with this photo!

Kylie Killed

We have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook as well:

At this point we headed over to the WB library where we got these:

Pure Michigan and a beautiful girl!

We love this one too:

Gettin’ It Done In Detroit With Jake For Senior Pictures!

What a great day we had with Jake – and he’s a legacy – the youngest of three Frameable seniors!  This dude has personality to burn, and he brought plenty of style and fun to the proceedings.  We started in the studio before we took over Detroit…. so let’s get to the highlights!

First we went with the jersey theme – the teams and swag that mean so much to this guy.  Check it out:

Jake

Cool huh?  We also have some fun behind the scenes from this shot on Facebook:

Now it’s time to highlight the time in the city:

Gettin’ It Done in Detroit with Jake!

First we headed to Eastern Market for a few murals:

Jake

Looking good!

Next we got this cool pic of Jake with the Eminem / D12 mural in the background.  So cool…

We headed over to the belt for a few as well and here’s the behind the scenes from that on Instagram:

Ezra, Meet World. World, Meet Ezra (and his family)!

Is there anything better than Ezra?  As in photographing Ezra so soon after he arrives in the world?  Not much.  We love newborns and we have to say that this newborn set the record for shortest and easiest newborn portrait session in Frameable Faces history.  Ezra was a champ – no meltdowns, lots of sleeping – just a mellow little dude and he was a joy to photograph.

Oh – and his family…  they’re also a pleasure including his big sis Izzy who was so sweet and helpful!  Parents Stephanie and Kevin have a great little family going here, and we’re here for it all day – to share these wonderful highlights, so let’s get to them!

World Meet Ezra

Let’s start with the classic family portrait!

Ezra

Love that!

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

And how about one more on the black background with big sis!

Ezra

Adorable!

Now for a little focus on the main man for his first professional portraits:

Ezra

OMG.  A beautiful sleeping baby boy!

Starting To Think That All Ali / Ally / Aly’s Are Adorable – We LOVE This Ali!

Ali and Ally as it turns out seem to be kindred spirits, and we both fell in love with this adorable Ali – seems it’s an Ali / Ally thing and you might not understand.  Although it’s easy to explain when you meet someone who is smart, funny, and bursting with personality like this Ali whom we photographed in Detroit for senior pictures!  Her mom Amy joined us for this wonderful day downtown and we even wrapped it up with some yummy eats at Laika Dog!  But it’s the pictures we’re here for, so let’s get to the highlights!

We LOVE This Ali

Ali

That smile!!!!

Ali

Okay…. so she’s ADORABLE, and that backlight with the flowers?  A hall of fame pic.  We have some behind the scenes too first from Instagram:
