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:

Theo Turned One And Had A (Cake) Smashing Good Time Celebrating!

Turning one is pretty cool.  Theo should know – he just did it.  And he brought his brothers and parents to the studio to celebrate the milestone with some portraits – and some balloons – and a CAKE SMASH (which by the way wasn’t the first time for this family)!  Let’s take a look at a few of the highlights shall we?

Theo

That’s a happy dude!

Now let’s bring in the big bros!

Theo

One more of the main man before we get to the smash…

Theo

Now here we’ve got some behind the scenes from the cake smash on Facebook:

And the yummy result!

Theo

That face!!!

Well there you have it – a smashing good time with Theo indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Kollyns Is The Most Adorable Almost 6 Month Old We Know!

Melyssa was once known (and still is as far as we’re concerned) as the “Frameable Faces Fairy” and she’s a legend here!  She and her family have become friends of ours over the years (here’s a throwback to a session of Melyssa and her sisters) and she recently brought her THIRD child to the studio – almost-6-month-old Kollyns!  Hard for us to believe!  And Kollyns is such an adorable smush.  We loved having her here and we need to show you these highlights!

Kollyns is adorable

Simple and scrumptious – we’re going to let these photos mostly speak for themselves.

Kollyns

That smile!!!

Kollyns

She’s awesome.  We also have a little fun behind the scenes from Facebook:

And these next two are the end…
Kollyns
Hehe…..
Kollyns
LOVE!  Kollyns is delicious and we hope you enjoyed this little taste of her session!

A Dandy of a Fall Day With Dalia For Senior Pictures!

We had a dandy of a day indeed in Franklin with Dalia and her mom Marla with a Pure Michigan feel!  We love photographing seniors at the Franklin Cider Mill (and eating a few – okay a lot of donuts)!  So let’s get to some highlights!

A Dandy with Dalia

As I mentioned we started at the Franklin Cider Mill so let’s see a couple of those:

Dandy

She’s adorable!

Here would be a good time to give a shout out to Francie Fruitman on Dalia’s makeup!  Great job Francie!  Meanwhile here’s some behind the scenes first from Instagram:

Next it was time to explore a little and we found this patch of leaves on the ground to put Dalia in!  Here’s the behind the scenes from Facebook:

…and the result:

Dandy

Love it!

Okay we’ll leave you with one more in front of a white barn door and this is a fantastic one to end on:

Dandy

A dandy with Dalia indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Maya Was On Fiyaaaaaaa For Her Senior Pictures!

Fiyaaaaaaa is a great word for this session literally and figuratively and yeah, we love this girl.  She’s been on our blog before as a spokesmodel representing the class of 2022 seniors, and we were pretty pumped to get her back in here for another round!  An accomplished student-athlete and North Farmington Raider (like us), Maya is a rock star and we’re big fans of her whole family actually.  Mom Melissa joined us for a fantastic day in the studio and Detroit so let’s get to the highlights!

Maya on Fiyaaaaaaa

Fiyaaaaaaa

Okay so there’s your actual fiyaaaaaaa.

And here’s the behind the scenes on that from Facebook – pretty cool!

Let’s now get to some more figurative fiyaaaaaaa in Detroit!

Fiyaaaaaaa

Pretty in the city!

Fiyaaaaaaa

Hey it’s Maya on the Mural!  We have some Belle Isle behind the scenes as well this time from 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!

We also have some more behind the scenes from Instagram:

What a morning with Ezra and the rest of the family!  We loved it and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Alexandra Brings The Fam For Some 18 Month Portraits On Location!

Alexandra is a pro at this point – she’s been growing up in front of Ally’s camera and we’ve loved all of it!  This time around Alexandra brought her parents for a family photoshoot on location and of course she rocked it.  Kim and Adam did pretty alright too!  Lol…

We haven’t been to this spot in a while so it was nice to get back there for this session.  Let’s get to the highlights! 

Alexandra Brings The Fam

First we have Alexandra and her mommy…

Alexandra Brings

LOVE!!!!!!

Alexandra Brings

Like…..could she be any more adorable?

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

…and now the daddy’s little girl pic:

Alexandra Brings

She is so yummy.

Alexandra was now ready to steal the show for the grand finale in her wagon!

Alexandra Brings

OH. EM. GEEEEEEE.  She is SO CUTE.

Great one to end it on for now, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Alexandra and her parents!

Sophie Just Made Us Smile During Her Senior Pictures – A LOT.

It’s impossible to be with Sophie and not smile.  Literally impossible.  She’s as adorable as they come – with just an infectious attitude, and everyone was excited for this session – especially Sophie.  Sophie is a legacy Frameable senior as well – her sister Alena is an FF legend, and Sophie carried on the tradition like a rock star!  Her dad Loren and bubby Barbara joined us on the session (we actually like Loren even though he’s a Buckeye – we know, it’s weird), mom Mindy joined for much of it via Facetime (technology is so awesome) and the results are fantastic so let’s get to a few highlights!

Sophie Made Us Smile

We started in the studio where we got this fabulous pic on the black background:

Smile

SO pretty!

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

At this point we headed to Birmingham to get some photos on location…

Smile

That red hair with the magenta?  Um, YES!

Next outfit please…

Smile

Adorable.  And we have more behind the scenes – this time from Facebook:

Okay we’ll leave you with one more of Sophie…

Smile

Love.  So yes, Sophie made us smile, and we hope these highlights made YOU smile too!

The Title Of These Senior Highlights Writes Itself: We Adore-a Leora!

We love seniors who are game for anything and Leora was no exception as you’ll see at the end of this post!  She’s a sweetheart and a North Farmington Raider (yeah!) like us so she gets bonus points lol.  We had a fantastic day with her and her mom Kim for her senior pics with one of those epic grand finales that we love!  So let’s get to some highlights!

We Adore-A Leora

We covered a lot of ground and styles so we won’t get to all of them here, but we started in the studio on the black background for this stunning pic:

Leora

Gorgeous!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook – first with Leora in her poms uniform – she’s the captain!

At this point we headed out on location for a few beautiful photos like this one:

Leora

…and this one:

Leora

And now for the coup de grace!  Let’s get IN the water!

Here’s the behind the scenes first:

And the spectacular result!!!

A great one to end on, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Leora!
