Alena Attains Autumn Awesomeness On Her Senior Session!

You may remember Alena from the beginning of the year in her spokesmodel session when she began to represent those North Farmington Raiders for our studio?  Well we upped the ante attaining Autumn Awesomeness for her senior session!  You remember back when it was Autumn right?  As of this zero-degree writing it seems so loooooong ago….  but I digress.  Let’s reminisce and revisit our day with Alena!

Alena Attains Autumn Awesomeness…

Alena’s mom Mindy is also a North Farmington Raider alum just like us and we’ve known her for many years so we love being with them and this day was no exception.  Since Alena’s spokesmodel session was all indoors during the winter we spent most of our energy this time on location in Birmingham and that’s where we’ll pick up the action.

Autumn Awesomeness

Yes!  Could her hair be any more perfect for a fall shoot?  We also need to give a shout out to Mandy Rose Studio for the always fantastic job on Alena’s hair and makeup (Michelle on hair and Mandy on makeup)!  Actually let’s even kick it up another notch with this one:

Autumn Awesomeness

Wow.  So pretty!  And let’s take a look at some of our fun behind the scenes action from the shoot, first with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

Okay now let’s get to the fun urban stuff – industrial walls, streets and the like!  We headed over to another location for these and did another wardrobe change.

Autumn Awesomeness

Love it!  This has been one of our favorite walls for a long time and guess what – we’re not telling where it is!!!  Haha – we don’t own the wall so if you figure it out we won’t be mad lol…

Meanwhile we have some more behind the scenes fun with our YouTube Live replay – check it out and please hit the “subscribe” button to our channel while you’re there!

We will leave you with this last photo for now of Alena stopping traffic!  Haha!

Autumn Awesomeness

Wow right?  Alena slayed on this session and we attained Autumn Awesomeness indeed!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Lots Of Fun And Laughter On Lexi’s Lively Fall Senior Session!

Lexi had a lively fall senior session indeed – there was lots of fun and laughter because she’s just so funny!  She’s gorgeous, smart, nice and all that but she definitely made us laugh a lot.  You’ll see how much fun she is in the behind the scenes videos below.  Meanwhile she’s a legacy here since we photographed her older sister Helene several years back (before we were writing blog posts for each senior) and we were happy to have her parents Robyn & David back to the studio!

Lexi’s Lively Fall Senior Session!

Like her sister, Lexi waited until we had the pretty Pure Michigan fall colors and since we scheduled a morning session we went out on location to do those first – we’ll pick up the action there:

Lively Fall Senior

How amazing is that shot….?  She looks awesome surrounded by all the Pure Michigan fall leaves!

We also love this close up with the brick:

Lively Fall Senior

At this point we went over to nearby woods behind the West Bloomfield library and here is the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast behind the scenes – it would actually be great to have Lexi back to the studio to co-host some other livestreams – she’s hilarious!

….and here is the result:

Lively Fall Senior

Fantastic!

At this point we headed back to the studio for some photos where we went live again this time for some fun on YouTube:

…and one more from that red paper backdrop:

Lively Fall Senior

Gorgeous!

And there you have it!  A lively fall senior session with Lexi indeed – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Nominating Nora For Nabbing A Perfect Senior Session!

In the category for Nabbing A Perfect Senior Session we are nominating Nora!!!  Holy moly – everything about this one is fabulous.  We’ve known Nora going back to elementary school days in the Magnet program at Roosevelt Elementary with our daughter Lacey, and she was always a sweetheart of a little girl then.  Now that’s she’s a senior she’s still the same sweetheart, just all grown up and more beautiful than ever!  We were so happy to have her here and we had so much fun with her and her mom Rajaa!  We’re pretty excited to present these sneak peeks…

Nominating Nora…

 We started out in the studio and we’ll highlight one of those photos first with the white outfit on the white backdrop.  White on white or black on black both look really nice if you light them properly!Nominating Nora

Great right?

We have some behind the scenes fun for you as usual – first from the setup above in the studio on Facebook Live:

For the location part of the session with Nora we started with a return to Orchard Lake at a spot we hadn’t photographed in years to get a photo with the lake in the background and here’s the result:

Nominating Nora

Spectacular!

Here’s some more behind the scenes – this time at the lake on YouTube Live:

At this point we had another stop to make – this time over behind the West Bloomfield Library and the light was perfect!  These next two photos Nora was really in the zone.  This first one in the meadow with the slight haze and the backlight on her hair…

Nominating Nora

…breathtakingly beautiful!!!  Wow.

And this one with Nora just relaxing up close and personal….

Nominating Nora

Awesome.  You can see why we are nominating Nora for nabbing a perfect senior session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

We Know You Will See The Allure Of Liz’s Lovely Senior Session!

The allure of Liz’s lovely senior session is strong indeed because it’s um…..awesome!  We are big fans of this girl – she has an artist’s point of view as an aspiring photographer herself and we really enjoyed photographing her!  The only problem is that we’re a Canon shop and she shoots with a Nikon – ha – but that just proves how much we like her that we still let her into the studio and even took a photo of her with her camera which you’ll see below!  Liz’s mom Marion came along for the fun, Liz looked amazing and we are excited to show you these highlights so let’s get to it…

Allure Of Liz’s Lovely Senior Session

We started out in the studio and here is a good time to give a shout out to Mandy Rose studio for the makeup – a fantastic job as usual.

Allure

Love that setup with the damask backdrop and the wooden floor!  And love Liz’s style!

We also have some fun behind the scenes here first with the replay of our YouTube Live broadcast getting the photo above!

While we were in the studio we let Liz break out her Nikon and we took this fun photo:

Allure

So fun – a girl and her camera and a girl after our own hearts!!!

At this point it was time to head out on location in Birmingham where we had a great day and where we captured this next photo – stunning really…

Allure

Wow.  Absolutely gorgeous.

Here’s another behind the scenes replay from the day this time from Facebook Live:

  And here is a final shot which comes from the replay above:

Allure

Adorable!!!

And there you have it – we’re pretty confident you get the allure of Liz’s lovely session after seeing these sneak peeks!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

A Dazzling Day In Detroit With Dani For Her Senior Pictures!

We gushed about Dani plenty when we blogged about her spokesmodel session and after knowing her for about 6 months as she’s represented the studio for the class of 2018 we can say with certainty it was all justified.  We LOVE this girl and we definitely had a dazzling day with her in Detroit!  Her mom Diana came along for the fun and as you’ll see it was a session to remember.

Dazzling Day With Dani

Many of the highlights of this session ended up being in The Belt which we’ll get to, but we started out on Belle Isle and captured this stunner:

Dazzling Day

Wow – dazzling right?  I also have to say that I’ve been playing around with the new Snapchat filters on my iPhone for some of the behind the scenes stuff we put on our Snapchat stories and I think this one of Ally capturing the photo of Dani above is worth including here – like a cool little painting…

Meanwhile we have the YouTube live broadcast replay from Belle Isle as well for you here:

Now let’s head over to The Belt in downtown Detroit where we captured some real winners!

Dazzling Day

Love it – and here is the behind the scenes Facebook Live broadcast replay that goes with that shot:

Her outfit seemed to be just perfect for the colors there too….

Dazzling Day

We also went to an art gallery there that rotates installations of different mediums and we’ve been lucky enough to be there when they invited us in to take photos.  That’s where this last one was captured:

Dazzling Day

So cool!  And there you have it – a dazzling day in Detroit with Dani indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Closing In On Absolute Clearcut Cuteness With Chloe!

Hmmmm….. how to achieve absolute clearcut cuteness…?  Let’s see:

1 – Very smart sweet cute senior

1- Awesome Family

1- Perfect Day for shooting

Several – Undefinable intangibles that just make everything seem to work

Meet ahead of time, mix all ingredients together and serve!

Yep – the recipe worked.  We definitely closed in on absolute clearcut cuteness with Chloe.

What was kind of fun was the parent trade off that happened!  Chloe’s mom JJ and her dad Adam had just slightly overlapping schedules and so JJ was with us for some of the day and she “handed off” to Adam to hang out with us for the end of the session!

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

So we started with a little bit of studio work which yielded this photo on the white background:

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

We love that one – just cool confident and chill!

At this point we headed out to Birmingham for location photos and we started at Quarton Lake where we got this stunning close up:

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

Wow!

We also have some fun behind the scenes for you starting with the replay of our YouTube Live broadcast – be sure to subscribe to our channel to tune in to future broadcasts!

We also headed into downtown Birmingham to get some city photos like this one – this photo is one that has one of those undefinable intangibles that we mentioned in the recipe above.  We had no idea that the shadow of me holding “Reflecto” our reflector would form a big heart until we saw the result!

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

So fun!

And we also have more behind the scenes fun here from the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

 

And one more photo to share from the top of one of the parking structures – cool shot here…

Absolute Clearcut Cuteness

Absolute clearcut cuteness indeed!

And there you have it – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Chloe!!!

We’ve Got Much Senior Picture Magnificence With Madelin!

We’ve got much senior picture magnificence with Madelin and we’re excited to share some of it!  Madelin is a Frameable legacy since her brother Nathan was here a couple of years ago, and what’s funny is that while Madelin’s mom Tracy and her sister Nora both joined us on this session, Madelin herself played the “mom role” on Nathan’s session making sure he was on point – so this wasn’t her first rodeo so to speak – ha!  Meanwhile we’ve known Madelin since she was born – her dad is an old college teammate of mine so sessions like these are always a little surreal for us – in a magnificent sort of way…..

Magnificence With Madelin

With this session we spent the entire time on location on a perfect morning the last day of August and we started at Heritage Park in Farmington Hills:

Madelin

Off to a great start!  Madelin looks great and we love that spot on the rocks…

We also have some fun behind the scenes action from the session like we always do – first from the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

Moving right along we have this one of Madeline with a little help from a gentle breeze! 

Madelin

…and one more from Heritage Park up close – LOVE this one:

Madelin

The lighting, the smile – it all came together for that shot for sure – there’s that magnificence we’re talking about!!!

Madeline will be pursuing her education and softball career at U of M Dearborn – so cool!  We wanted to get a photo to reflect that so at this point we headed to a local softball diamond…  here is the behind the scenes from our YouTube Live broadcast:

And the result:

Madelin

Go Blue!

And there you have it!  Senior picture magnificence with Madelin!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!
