Allie’s Encore (Again) – A Beautiful Summer Senior Session!

Allie’s encore (again) is an encore (again) because you could say that Allie’s spokesmodel session was kind of an encore already from when she was in here YEARS ago as an adorable little tot.  Click on that to see the pic we added at the end of the blog post of little Allie with her little sis Lily!  So CUTE!

So here is the next encore – the senior pics encore now that she is indeed a class of 2025 senior at Frankel Jewish Academy.   This encore includes highlights from a fantastic day with Allie, and her mom Jenny joined us on location in Birmingham.  We love them both and we’re excited to share – LFG.

Allie’s Encore (Again)

Allie’s session was all outdoors and we really didn’t stray too far from one spot.  Lots of flowers in bloom and plenty of nature to work with.  Here’s outfit #1:

Allie's Encore
Okay she’s adorable.
 
Outfit change time for this closeup!
 
Allie's Encore
Gorgeous.  And a shout out here to NorthStar Luxe by Lisa Beth North on the hair and makeup!
 
And of course we have behind the scenes fun – first from Facebook:

Outfit change!  And flowers!!!

Allie's Encore

Love that one!

And we’ll leave you with this one to put a smile on your face!

Allie's Encore

We love Allie’s laugh!  Smiling while I’m typing!
 
And there you have it.  Ally’s encore (again) was a winner – we could photograph this girl all day.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of her session!

Allie Leads The Way For The Class Of 2025 Spokesmodels!

Wow…. we’re coming up on a quarter of the way into the 21st century and this new crew of spokesmodels WILL be one we are honored to have on our team – starting with Allie representing Frankel Jewish Academy!  Ally babysat Allie’s mom so things continue to come full circle here at Frameable Faces!

We love our spokesmodels and Allie is awesome – adorable, smart, funny, outgoing – we love her!  And her parents Jenny & Ron are pretty okay too – Jenny joined us at the studio for Allie’s spokesmodel session where we brought out a few brand new setups along with a couple of our tried and true favorites!  Let’s take a look!

Allie Leads The Way

Allie

Love the green on green!  The on location photos typically have the overall edge in terms of the percentage that we take of our seniors, but our studio work is so much fun and we’ve been experimenting with some lighting techniques and some new equipment!  We picked up a few tricks in Louisville at Imaging USA last month that we’re darn excited for, and our seniors get to choose studio AND location photos so it’s very common for us to do a little of both even if it’s 1/3rd studio and 2/3rds location.  Any mix is up to the senior and we plan that out in a consultation ahead of time!

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

And here’s the result:

Allie

Love it!  Also want to give a shout out to Lisa North of NorthStar Luxe for the wonderful job on Allie’s hair and makeup!  Lisa will be one of our choices for makeup this year – she’s awesome.

Here’s the black and blowy which is an old fave, but we have a new backdrop and lighting setup for it…

Allie

GORGEOUS.

Oh and we have more behind the scenes on that too from Instagram:

We’ll leave you with one more outfit change – outfit changes are a must!  We actually allow as many as you like in our three hour sessions!  The sweet spot is usually around 4-5 give or take.

Allie

Oh yeah, and there’s a red gel involved on that one…. SO COOL.

So there you have it!  We are HYPED.  Allie was the perfect spokesmodel to kick it off and we can’t wait to photograph her for her senior pics – we’ve always loved photographing Allie – here’s proof (she’s the older sis):

Cuteness overload.  And now she’s all grown up and a total delight.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of her session and we can’t wait to share pics with you of the rest of our crew as we gear up for the Class of 2025!!!

Senior Picture Session Transcendence With Talia!

Talia returned to be in front of Ally’s camera once again as she did in fabulous fashion as a spokesmodel for the class of 2024 in the Spring!  We took it up a notch this time for some true transcendence with Talia!  The first basic definition of transcendence is “exceeding usual limits” and yeah – we did that.  What a day in Detroit and Talia’s mom Karen joined us for the fun!  Let’s get to the highlights…

Transcendence With Talia

Transcendence

See what we mean?  Spectacular!

Here’s another from Eastern Market…

Transcendence

Looking good Talia!  We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook and a Detroit Police officer even stopped to say hello:

Okay one more from Eastern Market – LOVE this color…

Transcendence

And then there’s this amazing one to end on…

Transcendence

Wow.  Yep – transcendence with Talia no doubt.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Noah’s Nifty Senior Pictures In The Heart Of Detroit!

We are psyched to present these highlights of Noah’s Nifty Senior Session in the heart of Detroit!!!  What a great kid, and we had a fantastic time in the D on a perfect day with Noah, his mom Lauren and her boyfriend Corey.  We even hit a spot or two we didn’t know about which is always cool for us.  Obviously there are tons of spots in Detroit.  So let’s get to the pics of this class of 2024 Frankel Jewish Academy Jaguar!

Noah’s Nifty Pics

Our first stop was Comerica Park where the Miggy retirement celebration was in full effect and we got this photo in front of the huge Tiger…

A roaring good photo huh?

Now let’s zoom in on our guy for a few…

An outfit change later:

Nifty

Looking nifty indeed!  We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Next stop Eastern Market!

Nifty

One more destination – Belle Isle – and first we headed to the fountain which was actually on – here’s some behind the scenes from Instagram:

And last but not least – Noah plays baseball for the Jags too – so you don’t want this smoke coming from the pitcher’s mound….

Nifty

How bad ass is that one?

So there you have it!  What a day, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

From Shai to Shiny: Ferrari Dreams And Senior Pictures!

Shai loves cars and Ferraris in particular – and can you blame him?  They are pretty awesome indeed, so we were thrilled when the gracious crew over at Cauley Ferrari gave us permission to take some pictures with these amazing machines.  Their showroom is beautiful!  Meanwhile Shai is a legacy since we’ve photographed his whole family and two siblings, Chloe and Joey for their senior pics!  Shai’s mom JJ joined us for an afternoon of fun so let’s get to the highlights!

From Shai to Shiny

Let’s start with one in the conference room with Shai at the head of the table and Ferrari logo up above!

Shai

Running the show!

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

And the result with this beauty (the car too hehe…)!

Shai

Looking good Shai!!!

At this point we headed to the great outdoors to go from machine to nature:

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!

Totally Loving Talia On Our Class Of 2024 Spokesmodel Team!

Talia is awesome – we are totally loving having her on our team as part of the class of 2024 senior spokesmodel crew!  This rising senior-to-be at Frankel Jewish Academy was here for a fantastic photo session and if these spokesmodels are a sign of things to come the class of 2024 is going to crush it!!!!  Let’s get to some highlights!

Totally Loving Talia

We planned on spending all of our time in studio because the weather was not looking good.  Typically if there is definitely rain coming we’ll reschedule our seniors but with spokesmodels we can spend time in the studio playing with different backdrops, lighting etc.  So that’s how we started out:

Talia

The red paper backdrop is always a winner – love this photo!

Talia is also a bit of a sneakerhead and she brought a full suitcase of shoes – which we LOVE.

Talia

Okay she’s adorable.

We also have a little behind the scenes from the studio on Facebook:

At this point we could see that the bad weather was holding off and we saw a window to get outdoors for a few pics so we did!  Our seniors have the choice of studio, location or both which we will map out in our consultation before the session takes place.
 
Talia
While we can’t guarantee magnolias in bloom all year round, we can say that the natural look with pops of color can be stunning like this one above of Talia!
 
We also have more behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

Totally loving Talia indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

In A Pure Michigan Mood With Merrick For Senior Pictures!

We love being in a Pure Michigan Mood – when the fall colors are in full swing and we have a fun senior to photograph?  It doesn’t get much better than that, and Merrick brought his A game!  Merrick has been in front of Ally’s camera several times now going back to when he was little, and most recently as a senior spokesmodel for the class of 2023!  We headed out on a brisk fall day for this session and got some great stuff – check out these highlights!

Pure Michigan Mood with Merrick

We hit some spots around West Bloomfield starting with this one which is one of our faves:

Michigan Mood

Awesome!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from one of our favorite burning red fall trees on Facebook:

And here’s the result:

Michigan Mood

Spectacular!

At this point we planned to get a couple on the track since Merrick is a runner (he comes from a long line of runners) and all around great athlete!  We got some snow flurries which we used to great effect on this next one.  Merrick’s mom Melissa joined us for this series on location and we had a few laughs!  Merrick is a total badass…

Michigan Mood

You’re only cold in your head – it’s all mental!!!

At this point it was time to head back to the studio where we got a little more behind the scenes this time on Instagram:

Michigan Mood
And there you have it!  A Pure Michigan Mood with Merrick indeed, and that’s a good thing.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!
