Making It Happen On A Day To Remember With Morgan!

So we may have saved the best class of 2023 senior session for last even as we’re already in the midst of class of 2024 sessions, and we are pretty darn excited to share.  Morgan’s session took a some planning and the wait was absolutely worth it and then some!  Morgan is a really big Detroit Lions fan, he’s a legacy since we photographed his sister Madi, and we’ve known his parents for a long long time, so when you add it all up and include a day at Ford Field for his pics, you get a day to remember on SO many levels – like FOR REAL.
 

Making It Happen With Morgan

Without going into all the details this plan came right down to the wire, and for the people involved who helped make this happen – we are fully indebted with gratitude.  If you know, you know.  Let’s get to the pics.
 
Morgan
Morgan put the “I” in “GRIT” and do you think he looks happy?  Absolutely.
 
And how many seniors get to give their own press conference???
 
Morgan
We actually have the footage of the press conference…  take a look from our Instagram livestream as the press (Doug, Ally, Morgan’s mom Amy and our amazing tour guides Marena and Sherita fire away their questions…)  hehe…

Next we headed to the locker room for a jersey change and a photo in front of Doug’s old teammate’s kid’s locker.😉

Morgan

At this point it was time to take the field, and we have some behind the scenes fun from that on our Facebook livestream:
 

And we’ll leave you with this last pic of one fired up Lion…

Morgan

So there you have it!  We definitely made it happen with Morgan – a day none of us will forget and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!
 
GO LIONS!

Ending In Epic Fashion With Elana – A High Note For Class Of ’23!

So listen, we love our seniors.  All of them.  And that doesn’t change if we say that we MAY have saved the best for last.  We aren’t playing favorites here, but Elana’s session was EPIC.  As the likely last senior for the class of 2023 we can say we ended in epic fashion indeed, including a first for us of photographing at Jack White’s Third Man Records in Detroit!  So cool.  This was also an encore for Elana since they appeared on this blog before as a spokesmodel for the class of 2023!  Elana’s mom Barrett and latecomer dad David (haha) both joined us for this session and we’re pretty psyched to show you some highlights.  Let’s get to it.

Ending in Epic Fashion With Elana

We started out as I said at Third Man Records and if you haven’t been there you need to go.  What an amazing place and they were pressing vinyl in the back while we were there.  Here’s one of the highlights!

Epic Fashion

And here’s some behind the scenes fun from Facebook…

We weren’t done with cool locales though…  next up was the venerable John K King Bookstore – the biggest in the state!  We have photographed there before and we love that place. 

Epic Fashion

Love!

Next we have more behind the scenes down at the riverfront in Detroit from Instagram…

And we’ll leave you with this closeup:

YASSSSSS

What a day.  We love photographing Elana and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with them!

Go BLUE and Go GRADS! Class of 2023 Wolverines!

As we mentioned in our last post we spent plenty of time on campus this spring – in East Lansing and Ann Arbor and now it’s time to highlight the Wolverines we photographed from the Class of 2023!!!  These sessions are a blast – whether it’s in the Big House or popping champagne at the law quad we are always happy to be a part of these great moments for these college grads.  GO BLUE and let’s get to it!
 

Go BLUE and Go Wolverine Grads!

We’ve got several groups to share some highlights of – we’ll start with this crew at the law quad!

Wolverines
 
And we have some fun behind the scenes too from Facebook!
 

Here’s one of Mikaela solo whom we’ve known forever….

Next up another solo session and with a former Frameable senior Lexi!

Next group of Wolverines – this fabulous crew of young ladies also containing a former Frameable senior Chloe, and we were so happy to meet these girls – they were a delight!

Wolverines

What a group!  And they came ready to celebrate too…. here’s some behind the scenes fun!

Time to break out the bubbly…
 
And the TikTok highlights…
 
@frameablefaces Such a great group of Wolverine grads! 〽️💙💛🎓🍾 #GoBlue #FrameableFaces #universityofmichigan #Photoshoot #Grads #CollegeGrads #ClassOf2023 #MGoBlue #Champagne #CapAndGown ♬ original sound – Frameable Faces

Last but not least come the dudes at the Big House!!!  This was a blast – even with a major rain delay which “forced” us into the locker room for a few pics, and a shout out to our uber talented photographer friend Susan Adams for the collab on this one – we’ve worked with her a bunch of times and she’s awesome.

Wolverines

Go Blue guys!

Here’s some behind the scenes from the Big House:

Here’s a group shot from the locker room:

When the weather cleared up we finished up on the field…

Here’s the TikTok highlights including this TEAM taking the field from the tunnel!

And we’ll leave you with this one!

Wolverines

Love it!!!
 
We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our sessions in A2 with these Wolverines!  Looking forward to doing it again next year!  GO BLUE!

Spartans Will, and We Will (and did) Photograph Them!

Spring time is fast becoming one of our favorite seasons for the studio because of all the college grads we have been photographing, and this post is one of those extra special ones for us – we’ll get to that at the end… 😉

Spartan Strong and Spartans Will, So Sparty On!

Listen, we are more than aware having been a part of it ourselves with our son Tony that the Spartan graduating class of 2023 arguably went through more adversity than most graduating classes in the history of our country.  They were the class who was sent home as freshman for the pandemic lockdown, and then as seniors they endured the trauma of the mass shooting tragedy that took the lives of three fellow Spartans on campus this year.  As a group and as a community they persevered and came out strong on the other side, bonded and united together and ready for the future.  We are just happy we got to celebrate some smiles with a handful of them to focus on the overall great experience that each one of them ultimately had in East Lansing.

So here are a few images of a couple of the groups we photographed on the banks of the Red Cedar!

First up: Rachel, Elyssa, and Maggie!

Spartans

Adorable!  And now it’s time to really celebrate!!!

Spartans

Haha…

Next group… Ellie, Leah and Kailee!

Spartans

Gotta get the pic with Sparty…

 

Professionally we don’t want to show favorites.  Personally this next senior is our all time favorite…. we saved him for last.

OUR TONY!!!

And with his adorable girlfriend, Willa!

Spartans

We’re soooooo proud of him.

And there you have it!  Spartans will indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of a few of our sessions in East Lansing!

Class Of 2023 Senior Petrina Perfects the Senior Picture Thing!

We were so happy when Petrina called us for senior pictures – she was here once before for a photo session with a crew of friends for Elona’s sweet 16 pics and she is a total sweetheart!  Not to mention she brought her cuz Patricia with her for a double senior session (Patricia was also at that first shoot) so we got to have double the fun – the Trina and Tricia Technicians show – as in Cass Tech Technicians!  More on that in the next post…  For now we focus on Petrina and her amazing pics, so let’s do this.

Petrina Perfects The Senior Picture Thing!

We have to give Petrina her props because it was cold.  Like really cold, and you would never know it – she was a total pro!  Let’s start at the DIA:

Petrina

And how about one of the cousins together…

BEAUTIES!!!

We have a little behind the scenes fun in a TikTok of some highlights too!

Sara returns to the blog and we’re all about it.  She brings plenty of style and personality to her sessions so we were looking forward to this one – her spokesmodel session was one to remember and the follow up contains some stunning shots too!  We had a great day with Sara and her dad David – we even hung out for a while after the session!

Sara Returns

So let’s get to the highlights starting in the studio on the black background:

Jeffrey Brings The Juice On His Senior Picture Session!

Jeffrey is a legacy senior here at Frameable Faces since we photographed his brother Steven a couple years ago and we can safely say we like both of them – not that we’re surprised.  We had plenty of laughs on the session which was attended by both parents David and Deborah – lots of inappropriateness.  Hehe…  So let’s get to the highlights!

Jeffrey Brings The Juice

Jeffrey

Yes!!!

We actually started in the studio even though we’re sharing the location pics here – here’s a little behind the scenes from that from Facebook:

And now back to Birmingham:

Jeffrey

Good looking dude right there.
