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

by
No Comments

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!

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

by
No Comments

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!

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

by
No Comments

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!

Alex & Ebony Brought The Whole Crew To The Studio For Family Portraits!

by
No Comments

You gotta love when you get a crew that genuinely enjoys being together like these peeps.  Especially when some of them have their own things going on, kids at different levels of school all the way up to college, and indeed this was attempt #2 to get them all in for the session – and it worked!

As for who they are – Alex and I go way back as teammates at Michigan, and he brought his beautiful wife and all the kids here for a memorable afternoon!  Pretty excited to share these so let’s get to it:

Alex, Ebony and the crew!

We’ll start with everyone in a classic black and white look:

Ebony

Stunning group!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook:

We broke it down into a bunch of different combinations and we’ll share a few of them here – first just the kids:

Ebony

 

Next just the daughters….

Ebony

…and finally just the dudes!

Love the way these turned out and it was so great to have my old buddy here with his family!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with them!

Twin Seniors in Detroit! Next Up: Awesomeness With Austin!

by
No Comments

In our last post we highlighted Haley with the promise that her twin brother Austin (who made a cameo in the highlights) would get his turn in the spotlight as the follow up.  So here we are!  We gushed about these two in the last one but a little more gushing might still be in order – you’ll see why since Austin is as photogenic as his twin sister!  What great kids and what a great day this was.  So let’s get to part 2 – awesomeness with Austin!

Awesomeness With Austin

We’ll start with a few pics on Belle Isle for Austin:

Austin

Looking good – awesomeness indeed!

We also have some behind the scenes of Austin and Haley on Belle Isle from Instagram:

So fun!  Here are a couple more of Austin solo – first up close and personal:
 
Austin
A genuine smile on this dude!
 
One more:
 
Austin
We love that one.  As you may know from Haley’s post we headed over to Eastern Market when we started to get a little rain and Austin went a little more formal for that juxtaposition – the fancy with the urban decay and some off camera flash:
 
Austin
So cool!  And we’ll leave you with one more of the twins in this night time black and white that we think turned out quite nicely:
 
And there you have it!  Awesomeness with Austin and this concludes the two part series of our time with the twins – we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Twin Seniors in Detroit! First Let’s Say Hello To Haley!

by
No Comments

Twin seniors are always a lot of fun – that twin bond and interaction makes for a great time and great photos – never fails!  These two in particular are an absolute delight – Haley and Austin are smart, funny, accomplished and beautiful people!  Besides, twins allow us to highlight the day twice because we like to give them their own turn in the spotlight, and we’re going “ladies first” with Haley!  Their mom Ericka actually met us while we were downtown on location in Detroit on a slightly chilly and ultimately surprise rainy day, but we worked it to our advantage – be sure to scroll through this whole post and you’ll see!

Hello To Haley!

Haley

Okay she’s adorable.  This photo was taken at the DIA, and of course we also had the twins pose together for plenty of pics as well – like this one:

Love them!  Be sure not to miss Austin’s own highlights which will be next on the blog!

Now let’s get back to Haley:

Haley

Love that one from Belle Isle and it was actually there where it started to drizzle, so next we headed to Eastern Market to finish up where there is less walking between photos, and we have some fun behind the scenes from over there on Facebook:

And here’s one with Haley against of the really colorful murals as a backdrop:

Haley

This last one which we hinted at before was not a pic we really planned in terms of the rain effect but we think it’s just so cool the way it turned out!
 
Haley
Isn’t that awesome?  As is Haley – she’s awesome too!  We hope you enjoyed PART 1 of the highlights of our day with the twins!

Taking Senior Pictures In Detroit To The Max – With Max!

by
No Comments

Taking it to the Max is how we roll here at Frameable Faces.  When you’ve got a Max to take it to the Max with and a city like Detroit to work with?  Well now you’re cooking with oil as they say!!!  Max is a class of 2022 senior at Berkley High School.  Now it may have been just a TAD chilly on this day, but so what?  Max was a trooper and he still kicked butt.  Awesome kid, awesome session and we weren’t surprised – we’ve actually known this family for many years and Max’s mom Jen came along for the day.  We had a blast – the elements were NOT going to prevent us from taking it to the max – with Max!

Taking it to the Max

So let’s get to some highlights starting at Eastern Market:

Max

On top of the world! 

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

We relocated to the DIA at this point and got this classic black and white with the slightly more dressed up look…

Max

Total stud.

More murals downtown up next…

Max

Max being Max.  Love it!

We have some more behind the scenes from a little jaunt over to Belle Isle from Facebook:

And we’ll leave you with one more pic of our guy:

Max

Perfect end to a perfect session – to the MAX!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

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

by
No Comments

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:

Kylie Killed

Pure Michigan and a beautiful girl!

We love this one too:

One more location to go… here’s the behind the scenes from Instagram:

Aiden Is The Man And His Senior Picture Session (Sham)Rocked!

by
No Comments
Aiden came to us by way of his mom Kelly whom we’ve known for many years – I (Doug) worked with Kelly and we were in the M.B.A. program at Wayne State together!  We’ve been friends a long time and it was really cool to hang with her and her son for his senior pics!  Aiden is a Catholic Central Shamrock – a football player and shot put / discus thrower for the track team – just a great kid (not that I’m surprised)!!!  We had a pretty neat game plan for him including some studio work, some FIRE, and some location photos at the CC campus, so let’s get to some highlights!
 

Aiden (Sham)Rocked!

We started in the studio for a formal look on the black background:

Aiden
That’s a good looking dude!
 
Next we decided to get some track and field action and some FIRE!!!  This was the first time we photographed discus fire!
 
Aiden
We also have some behind the scenes fun from this photo on Instagram!

At this point we headed over to Catholic Central and took some pictures at the football field and the campus.  Aiden’s dad Eric stopped by as well (I think to bring the football as I recall)!
 
Aiden
Go Shamrocks!
 
Here’s some behind the scenes at the stadium from Facebook! 
 

And we’ll leave you with one more of our guy!
 
Aiden
And there you have it!  Aiden’s session (Sham)rocked indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

A Little Fire, A Little Fall Flava With Faris On His Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Faris is a legacy with big shoes to fill – his sister Nora‘s portrait has been hanging in the studio for a couple years from her senior session!  But we have to say Faris was totally up for the challenge and created plenty of magic on his own with some FIRE and some FALL FLAVA!  Great kid, great family – we were not surprised in the least.  Mom & Dad Rajaa & Elias are delightful and we have a great time hanging with them.  Now let’s get to some highlights!

Fall Flava & Fire with Faris!

We started on location and we were able to get some cool fall colors – mostly some shades of maize first in the background of the meadow…

Faris

 

Good looking dude!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from that photo on Instagram:

Next up we were able to position our guy with some framed fall colors for some Pure Michigan through the brick – very cool shot!

Faris

 

At this point we headed back to the studio where we went with some sports and some style… First the sports with a little West Bloomfield Laker pride – and the FIRE!!! ⚽️🔥

Faris

 

Here is some more behind the scenes of the fire on Facebook:

Lastly we’ll go with the formal look on the grey paper:

Faris

 

What a stud – what a session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Faris!
