Rikki In The City – Splendid Spokesmodeling For The Class Of 2022!

by
No Comments

Rikki in the city doesn’t rhyme, but it has a ring to it, and this session should ring out across Frameable Faces nation!!!  Hehe….  it really was fabulous.  We’re off to a darn good start with our class of 2022 crew and this was a session of firsts for us.  A couple new spots for us in particular that we really love!

As for this senior-to-be we really love her too – she’s a Bloomfield Hills Blackhawk like our kids were, and her mom Lauren is North Farmington Raider just like me and Ally were!  Rikki is a delight and she slayed the game as we say on this session in Detroit, so let’s get to the highlights!

Rikki In The City

We started at the DIA – people were out taking photos and everyone was happy and friendly!  Here’s a highlight:

Rikki

As always we have some fun behind the scenes action from the session – first from Facebook Live:

Shortly after and an outfit change later we found new spot #1 – we took a different route than usual and noticed this amazing wall – LOVE it!

Rikki

Okay Rikki is adorable.  This girl is going to change the world… and we have more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram Live!

Next we headed to a grungy alley and by this time you could say we were smokin’….

Rikki

Last but not least it’s another new spot for us – a random friendly dude pointed us to a bench down a path by the water and voila!

Rikki

Beautiful!!!  That’s a good one to end on for now, although the TikTok is pretty cool too…..okay we’ll add it:

@frameablefacesWhat. A. Day. w/@rikkiaronoff for her spokesmodel sesh!🥰🏙 ##FrameableFaces ##ClassOf2022 ##Detroit ##photoshoot ##MetroDetroit ##Photography ##SeniorPics♬ original sound – Frameable Faces

Kamari Kicks It Off For The Class Of 2022 Spokesmodels!

by
No Comments

Kamari kicks it off in style in these highlights from our first high school senior spokesmodel session for the rising class of 2022!  If you know us at all you know how giddy with excitement we get around this time of year.  Yes we’re starting a little later than our pre-pandemic schedule, but the craziness of the last year has us even more ready than usual to be photographing seniors again (if that’s possible)!

Meanwhile Kamari is not a stranger to Ally’s camera – she was here when she was little for family portraits (wow has our blog come a long way since then…haha) with her parents Jahmal and Kimberly and big brother (and former Frameable senior) Jaden!  

Kamari Kicks It Off

Kamari will be a senior at Mercy High School this fall and she is completely adorable just as she’s always been.  We started with just a pic or two in the studio before we headed out on location.  Many of our senior sessions include both studio and location photos… here’s a simple one on the white background.

Kamari Kicks

Yasss – the first 2022 senior photo!

Okay let’s head outside where Kamari continued to slay the game….

Kamari Kicks

Oooh one of our fave spots at Quarton Lake!  We also have a little fun behind the scenes action from Facebook!  Make sure you’re following us there! 

Next Kamari broke out the hoodie – how cute is she?

Kamari Kicks

We also have some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram Live – make sure you’re following us there too!  Just make sure you’re following us everywhere…. links are below at the end or up at the top of the website!

We’ll leave you with this one for now……until Kamari returns for her senior session!

Kamari Kicks

That could be our fave…. hard to say – they’re all fantastic!  When Kamari kicks it off she does it in style!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights from our day with her and we can’t wait to photograph and share more seniors from the class of 2022!  Book your session now!

A Few Of Doug and Ally’s Recent Appearances!

by
No Comments

We have had some wonderful opportunities lately to appear on a few different shows on the Internet as well as local TV and we thought we should gather a few of them in one place here on the blog! 

Appearances

Doug & Ally’s Recent Appearances!

Let’s start with the one Ally and I appeared together on which was on Fox 2 Detroit in a segment about how to take a great selfie for dating sites!  This one was pretty fun…

 

Next I appeared on my friend Rachel Moore’s livestream show Social Glue which airs on LinkedIn & YouTube ever week and covers all things social media with weekly news (which in the social media world can be like a month haha).

 

And last but not least here is my recent appearance on the Civic Center TV Megacast to discuss M10 Social and how businesses are adjusting and can adjust to the need for more of an online presence in the pandemic!  Give it a watch:

 

We hope you enjoy these appearances and there are actually more to come!!!

Let These Recent Seniors With Family Members Make You Smile!

by
No Comments

Through it all – through this challenging school year we still had a fantastic “part 1” of the Class of 2021 senior pictures!  We say “part 1” because there are always a few spring seniors and we figure there may be a few more than usual this year (fingers crossed) because 2020 was……..2020. 

Generally when we post highlights of our sessions we focus on the senior but we do have family add-ons available and sometimes family members – maybe just a sib or a parent or a pet jumps in, so we thought we’d gather a handful of these and give them their own blog post!  Lots of love in these images!!!

Seniors have Frameable Family Members!

No commentary – just family!  We LOVE these peeps!

Family Members Family Members Family Members

And there you have it!  Wonderful families we’ve enjoyed spending time with over the past year!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

A Maddie Takeover in Detroit for Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

We had a Maddie takeover in the D!  You’ve seen Maddie on this blog before as a spokesmodel representing Mercy High School for the senior class of 2021 and her return was epic!  Yes it was a little cold but we literally had downtown Detroit to ourselves early on this particular Saturday morning and we made the most of it! 

Maddie Takeover In The D

We started over by the Fox Theater which is appropriate since Maddie is into theater herself!  Check it out:

Maddie Takeover

Cool huh?  She’s a box office star to be…

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

Next we headed over to The Belt which was also empty and got this photo:

Maddie Takeover

Okay she’s adorable.

Next stop: the DIA!

Maddie Takeover

Love it!

We have more behind the scenes too – this time from Instagram:

And there you have it!  A great one to close out the year 2020.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our Maddie takeover in Detroit!

Andy, Birmingham and Cool Senior Pictures – Easy As ABC!

by
No Comments

Andy is a legacy senior in the class of 2021 at West Bloomfield High School – we photographed his sister Jordyn a few years ago and we were looking forward to another hangout with mom Rebecca and the younger sib!  We had plenty of fun and the results are great, if NOT surprising!  Easy as ABC!

Andy, Bham, Cool Pics – easy as ABC

We spent the whole session at Quarton Lake which is actually pretty easy to do – there’s plenty to work with there like the dock for starters…

Easy As ABC

Great photo!

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

And here are a couple more pics…

Easy As ABC

Andy’s looking great!

Loving this one in black and white too…

Easy As ABC

Pretty cool…

Here’s the TikTok from the day…

Brady Brings His Best To Birmingham For His Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

We first met Brady in his consultation with his mom Lisa over Zoom and we liked them both right away.  Not sure going into this that senior pictures were the largest object on Brady’s radar, but he’s a great kid, and he was willing to go into it with an open mind.  As it turned out he went beyond that – he definitely had fun, we had fun with him, and the results are fantastic!  So let’s get to it!

Brady Brings His Best

We met on location in Birmingham at Quarton Lake and our conditions were just fine.

Brady

Good looking dude!  We love his hair.

We didn’t spend a ton of time at Quarton Lake because we wanted to focus on city pics so we headed downtown for these next couple and we have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook too:

And here are a couple results:

Brady

This next one we really love:

Brady

Great smile on this guy!

We have a fun TikTok here for you that ends in the studio which we headed back to for a couple more:

@frameablefacesVery cool session with Brady – the trifecta!🙂🏙🍂 ##seniorpictures ##ClassOf2021 ##FrameableFaces ##seniorpics ##MetroDetroit ##photoshoot ##uofdjesuit♬ original sound – Frameable Faces

And we’ll leave you with a studio highlight!

Brady

And there you have it!  Brady brought his best for sure, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

A Smokin’ Senior Picture Session With Taylor – Literally!

by
No Comments

Wow.  Let’s just say we’re pretty DARN excited to share these highlights from Taylor’s senior session…. We fell in love with both Taylor and her mom Charese pretty much immediately.  You can just tell when you connect with your people, and we laughed our butts off on this session – we just had a blast and the results, well….you’ll see.  Meanwhile Taylor is a senior at Detroit Country Day and she’s adorable.  Funny, smart, beautiful, artistic, athletic – a quintuple threat, and we actually broke this session up into two days because we had some specialized strategies laid out to capture what we wanted, so let’s get to the highlights!

Smokin’ Session With Taylor

Okay so actually the smokin’ part happened on the second day.  The first day we started in the studio and we’ll start there:

Taylor

So cute!

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

At this point we headed outdoors to Birmingham where our favorite little tree was in full Pure Michigan mode!  We only get this tree in the fall for a short window each year so we are always so excited when we do!  Here’s a little more behind the scenes from Facebook and we have to give props to Taylor who was a real trooper because it was quite chilly…

We also got some yellows and oranges – all the Pure Michigan feels!

Taylor

LOVE that one – the sweater was perfection for this photo.

Now for day two.  We headed over to the track at Detroit Country Day where Taylor’s peeps were practicing – cheerleaders, football – she had an audience!  And we had a WARM evening which was great.  We’re obsessed with how these came out with a little off camera flash combined with some incredible natural lighting…

Taylor

Wow right???

Now for the SMOKIN’ part…  and first one more behind the scenes video from Facebook:

And the smoke:

Taylor

Oh yeah…..

And there you have it!  A smokin’ session indeed with this young lady, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Bree In The D! Detroit Vibes With This Beauty for Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

Bree gave us a day to remember in Detroit with a spectacular session in the city!  We’ve known Bree’s mom Heather for many years and we had a blast with the two of them!  Bree is a class of 2021 senior at Walled Lake Western and she’s a multitalented girl – smart, nice, athletic and beautiful!  The whole package.  Let’s check out some highlights of our day with her!

Bree In The D!

So actually we’re going to start in the studio where we began the session before we headed downtown with this photo against the black backdrop:

Bree

Love it!

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

At this point it was time to head to Detroit!  We spent some time on Belle Isle where we got this next one – we just love the willows there:
 
Bree
Gorgeous!
 
Next stop, the Riverfront…  and we have more behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

What a great look with the off camera flash, the Detroit River and the Ambassador Bridge in the background!
 
Last stop, Eastern Market where this nighttime photo with one of our favorite murals is just the bomb diggity…
 
Bree
So cool, and Bree really rocked it!  
 
And there you have it!  Bree in the D indeed with awesome Detroit vibes!

Autumn With Arnav (and TAZZ) On An Incredible Day At Mill Race!

by
No Comments

Arnav is all grown up – and a fine young man he’s turned out to be!  We’ve known him since he was about 10 and we hadn’t seen him for a while so we were pretty happy to get the call from his dad Ash for senior pictures!  It was a family affair with Ash, mom Shama and PUP TAZZ!!!!!  Tazz got into the act as you’ll see below, and in the meantime let’s get to the highlights with this class of 2021 senior at the International Academy on an incredible scene of Pure Michigan fall colors at Mill Race Historical Village in Northville!

Autumn With Arnav!

Mill Race Village is definitely one of our favorite new spots to photograph now that we have a permit – there’s so much to work with there!

Arnav

That’s a handsome dude right there…

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

Arnav

We have pumpkins…. lol!

And check out these Pure Michigan colors!

Arnav

So cool!

At this point we headed back to the studio for a few – we got some great photos of the family together and as we’ve mentioned we plan to publish a separate blog post highlighting some of our seniors with their families where they jumped in this year…  here’s the scene this time from Instagram:
