Calling Audibles With Andrew For Awesome Senior Picture Results!

by
No Comments
Andrew knows how to call audibles – he was the quarterback at Bloomfield Hills High School and a teammate of our Tony, and we watched him grow and develop into a fine player through hard work.  He’s a great kid, and an audible if you didn’t know is basically the decision to adapt and change your plan depending on the circumstances – such as what the defense is presenting before the play during a game, or the weather and timing on a photo session perhaps.  In our case we improvised for some textures instead of going into a city setting and we were able to get into the locker room at BHHS for a couple cool photos and to warm up since it was freezing outside.  BUT we still got the nighttime bleacher photo that we wanted so it all worked out to be a winning session!
 

Audibles With Andrew

 

Let’s start in the studio with a dapper formal picture:

Audible

Stylin’!

We also have some behind the scenes – first with Instagram Live from the studio in uniform:

We switched up from formal to uniform and back again for both in studio and on location – audibles remember?  Let’s head over to the school at this point but first with another stylish up close pic before we get into game gear!

Audible
Looking great!
 
At this point we headed into the locker room and we’ve got more behind the scenes from Facebook Live this time:
 

…and the result:
Audible
Andrew totally looks ready to go out and do battle….and we’ll stay with the football look for one of our faves to do – we’ve only done this a few times ever and each time it’s killer…
 
Audible
 
And there you have it!  We enjoyed watching Andrew on the field this past season with the rest of the Blackhawks – they all made us proud, and we had a great time creating these images and calling audibles with Andrew!  We hoped you enjoyed the highlights!

Family Portraits With Some Familiar (and completely Frameable) Faces!

by
No Comments

We love when our peeps have growing families and they bring them in for updated photos – we love to be a part of these special moments and to catch up!  Jen has 5 children now including two “newer additions” and 2 of the five have been on our blog before – Emily for senior pictures and Noah for pictures with his grandmas!  So getting them all here together was really fun.  They actually came to the mall for breakfast with Santa (a mall event where we took pictures for everyone with Santa and Mrs. Claus) and then back to the studio for their own session, ultimately including all of it on their custom holiday cards!

Familiar and Frameable

Let’s start with Santa:

Familiar

Breakfast with Santa here at the mall is always so much fun!  Samuel and Noah had a blast and we hope they got what they asked for!

Now back at the studio we have pictures first of the girls and then of the boys…

Familiar

Sarah and Emily are such beauties inside and out!

Next it’s the dudes:

Familiar

Adam looks pretty happy to be with his two little brothers!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook Live!

And we’ll finish with the whole family with Jen and Andrew getting into the picture!

Familiar

And there you go – what a crew!  Familiar faces make us happy and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Chase Charmed Us On A Chilly Day For Senior Pictures – A Real Champ!

by
No Comments

Chase charmed us alright – we really like this guy.  Just a nice dude and really personable, and we have to give him credit because his day for his senior session was a cold one – it ain’t easy being outside with no coat and smiling through it for photos!  Chase’s mom Courtney came along and eventually the entire extended fam showed up for a few family portraits on location while we were at it!  This blog post however is about our guy Chase so let’s get to the highlights from Birmingham!

Chase Charmed

We set up at Quarton Lake which is where we got all of our images and Chase had a few outfits ready to roll.  The man has style.  He started out in a suit:

Chase Charmed

Chase is the man.

Here we have some behind the scenes fun from the day from Facebook Live!

Quick outfit change and we bounced over to the dock for this relaxed pose…

Chase Charmed

Next we went with a half length and made sure to have that belt buckle in the shot!!! 

Chase Charmed

We have more behind the scenes fun this time from the Instagram replay:

And we’ll leave you with this closeup – Chase still getting it done – like a champ!

Chase Charmed

And there you have it!  Chase charmed us indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

A Legendary Day With Loren In Detroit For Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

Wow what a day with Loren!  Loren was so adorable the first time she came to the studio – she had been following along with some of our sessions on Instagram and elsewhere on social media as many do and she was totally fired up for her turn!  She and her mom Lili had some great ideas for the session and it led us to some things we had never tried before!  We’ll get to that in a little bit, but suffice it to say (as you’re about to see) this was a legendary day with Loren for sure!  Dad Eugen and little bro David even hung out and jumped in for a couple photos at one point so it was a family affair and we had a lot of fun, but this blog post is about Loren, so let’s get to a few pics!

Legendary Day

We started on Belle Isle as we often do and got this image of our girl with the skyline in the background:

Legendary Day

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the day starting with the replay from the livestream on Instagram!

We stayed on Belle Isle for a bit and also got this pretty photo of Loren in the willow!

Legendary DayLove that one!

At this point we switched locations and headed over to the Belt where we captured a cool pic of Loren looking off to her future!  Hehe…

Legendary Day

The overalls with the Hamilton socks rock!

And now for the coup d’état!  It was getting towards evening and it was a little chilly – not quite carnival weather, and yet we had plans for the carousel on the riverwalk – add a perfect dress to match and a legendary photo is created!  We even made this one into a metal sample for the studio!  Truly a fairy tale photo – and first here’s the behind the scenes on Facebook Live!

And the result!

Legendary Day

Amazing!

Yes it was a legendary day that we won’t forget with Loren, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Just A Solid Senior Session With A Solid Guy – Say Hello To Eric!

by
No Comments

We’ve known Eric for a while – not that long, but long enough to know he’s a solid guy.   That’s the best word really – just solid you know?  He’s been a Bloomfield Hills Blackhawk football teammate of our Tony for 4 seasons but we really started to get to know Eric best over the last year or so, so we were really pleased to have him here at the studio with his parents Kimberly and Vince for some straightforward, low key and yeah, just solid pics for his senior session.  He’s got a great head on his shoulders, knows he wants to be in law enforcement and just the kind of guy you would want your kid hanging with.

Solid Guy Eric

This session took place completely in the studio and we started on the grey paper backdrop:

Solid Guy

Dapper – digging that business casual look!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the broadcast on Facebook Live:

A couple more on the grey – including this super cool classic shot in black and white:

Solid Guy

Looks great.

And another close up in color…

Solid Guy

At this point we switched to the black background and we’ll leave you with this full length image:

Solid Guy

Just solid as we said!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time in the studio with Eric!

Ben Is A Baller – On The Pitch, In The City and On His Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Yes Ben plays soccer and he’s a baller – but we think that applies to more than just how he plays on the pitch.  We’ve known Ben and his family for a long time and he’s a good dude – you could say being a baller is just an overall description of this guy.  Good kid, involved in the community, athlete, student – he’s got it all, and we had a lot of fun with him and his mom Leigh on his senior session!

Ben Is A Baller

We started on location and headed over to Bloomfield Hills High School first to get a few photos of Ben in his gear – this is a great one!

Baller

Bad ass…

As usual we have some fun behind the scenes from the day starting with the replay of our broadcast on Facebook Live:

Time now for a change in location over to downtown Birmingham first with this cool close up:

Baller

And how about this one with the city lights and the Birmingham Theater marquee!

Baller

At this point we headed back to the studio to finish up once we ran out of daylight and we’ll leave you with this portrait of our guy:

Baller

Awesome!  We also have the behind the scenes Snapchat story for you – the filters are missing for some weird reason but it’s still plenty fun!


 

And there you have it – Ben is a baller and he delivered on an awesome senior session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Oh DEER! We Made Incredible Senior Session Memories With Meg!

by
No Comments

Oh deer…. hehe.  I think we’ll just leave that here and we’ll come back to it later.

Meanwhile we had a delightful day with Detroit Country Day senior and future Central Michigan Chippewas field hockey player Meg and her mom Jennifer on a memorable senior session first here at the studio and then on location!  We’ll start in the studio:

Senior Session Memories With Meg!

The white backdrop is just a nice simple and contemporary look and Meg rocked it…

Oh Deer

She is adorable.

Fire up Chips!  No Really – FIRE UP!

We’ve had a run on accomplished athletes for the class of 2019 which has us thinking about making college sports updates for former Frameables a thing going forward, and Meg is going to be continuing her career in field hockey at CMU as we mentioned before.  So let’s FIRE up Chips!  Like, for real…

First a little behind the scenes of what we mean from the Facebook Live broadcast:

And the result!

Oh Deer

Don’t mess with Meg…

At this point we headed out on location to get some photos in a natural setting and we had a great day for it:

Oh Deer

Wow!!!  And that backlight….

We have some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram…

And the photo in the leaves…

Oh Deer

Oh DEER….

Meanwhile here’s the oh DEER part.  We have never seen a more friendly wild deer than this one who just came over and chilled with us.  Licking Meg’s hand and just hanging out for a few pics.  We were blown away – Meg said it was the coolest thing she thinks she’s ever done.  It’s a bonus photo and here it is…

Oh Deer

Meg the deer whisperer!  We’re including the Snapchat story that has a little of this captured on video – so fun!

Oh DEER!  And there you have it – an experience we’ll never forget and a senior we won’t forget either!  We expect big things from this girl and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Ethan Gets An Education in Senior Pictures on the U of M Campus!

by
No Comments

For Ethan’s session we decided to get a little academic you could say, and Ethan got an education out of it…..in senior pictures!  We headed up to the University of Michigan to get some photos around campus and both of Ethan’s parents Stacy and Paul joined us.  We love spending time in Ann Arbor and it’s really picturesque so it made for a great setting!  Let’s get to the highlights!

Ethan Gets An Education

Ethan started with a formal look and he’s looking ready for college here!

Education

What a stud.

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

At this point Ethan changed to a slightly more casual look for a couple more photos around campus:

Education

Ivy covered walls are cool.

Here we are with the law quad as a backdrop framing our guy:

Education

At this point we headed to the Arb for a more natural setting and we fired up the Facebook Live for some more behind the scenes action:

And we’ll leave you with one more in the natural setting:

Education

So cool!  Ethan got his education in senior pictures alright and he passed with flying colors!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Audrey Astonishes In Her Return To The Frameable Faces Blog!

by
No Comments

Audrey astonishes in this return to our blog with highlights from her senior session but we can’t say we’re surprised since she awed us with her spokesmodel session earlier this year!  Audrey has been representing us for the class of 2019 at Troy Athens High School and we are huge fans of her and her mom Michelle!  We have a lot in common and we’ve always felt like friends since day one, so we were looking forward to getting her in front of Ally’s camera one more time!  So, let’s get astonished!

Audrey Astonishes

We spent this session in Birmingham since we got plenty of studio work done earlier this year…. so let’s get to it!  We actually had a little bit of rain but it made for a pretty cool photo of Audrey with some drops falling from the tree she was under as we started with the natural setting of Quarton Lake:

Audrey Astonishes

Pretty cool!  We also have some fun behind the scenes action first from Facebook Live:

Next we get a little closer up with our girl in downtown Birmingham:

Audrey Astonishes

Stunning!

We also have behind the scenes in the city from the replay of our Instagram broadcast:

Audrey had a penchant for marble and we knew just where to find it for this cool photo!

Audrey Astonishes

How adorable is she?

And we’ll leave you with this last one with a little pop of color:

Audrey Astonishes

Audrey astonishes – there’s no doubt about it, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

by
No Comments

A happy Hannah happening was what we had in downtown Detroit on this senior session!  We go back to high school with Hannah’s mom Robyn so this was one of those surreal sessions for us and it was certainly one to remember!  Hannah’s dad Glenn came along as well and we had a blast.  As for Hannah we just have to say that she has this fun and infectious personality that totally draws you in – just a cool and nice girl who isn’t afraid to have a good laugh!  We loved working with her and she had an amazing session, so let’s get to the pics!

Happy Hannah Happening in the D

Hannah decided on Detroit so we spent all of our time there, and we started on Belle Isle where we got the cool skyline photo that we love!

Happy Hannah Happening

Okay she’s adorable.

We also have some fun behind the scenes for you first from the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast:

We grabbed a few more photos on Belle Isle too – first on the red bridge up close and personal with our girl:

That backlight is kickin’!

And we also went back to the graffiti bridge – here’s some more behind the scenes from Instagram:
