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!

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!

Gettin’ It Done In Detroit With Jake For Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

What a great day we had with Jake – and he’s a legacy – the youngest of three Frameable seniors!  This dude has personality to burn, and he brought plenty of style and fun to the proceedings.  We started in the studio before we took over Detroit…. so let’s get to the highlights!

First we went with the jersey theme – the teams and swag that mean so much to this guy.  Check it out:

Jake

Cool huh?  We also have some fun behind the scenes from this shot on Facebook:

Now it’s time to highlight the time in the city:

Gettin’ It Done in Detroit with Jake!

First we headed to Eastern Market for a few murals:

Jake

Looking good!

Next we got this cool pic of Jake with the Eminem / D12 mural in the background.  So cool…

We headed over to the belt for a few as well and here’s the behind the scenes from that on Instagram:

We had a dandy of a day indeed in Franklin with Dalia and her mom Marla with a Pure Michigan feel!  We love photographing seniors at the Franklin Cider Mill (and eating a few – okay a lot of donuts)!  So let’s get to some highlights!

A Dandy with Dalia

As I mentioned we started at the Franklin Cider Mill so let’s see a couple of those:

Fire and Detroit Muscle – Jacob’s Senior Session Had It All!

by
No Comments

Fire and Detroit Muscle – now there’s a couple of elements that don’t suck for a senior picture session and Jacob crushed it for his portraits!  We had a great time with this guy and his parents Scott and Jenny – plenty of laughs and the results are fantastic.  Jacob is a West Bloomfield Laker and a well rounded dude.  We’ll show you!

Fire and Detroit Muscle with Jacob

We started in the studio – Jacob is a cellist – not the first one we’ve had from this class of 2022 and he is on the ski team – we focus on the skiing for this highlight – a little fire and ice if you will?

Detroit Muscle

So cool!  We also have some behind the scenes from this segment on Instagram:

Alexandra Brings The Fam For Some 18 Month Portraits On Location!

by
No Comments

Alexandra is a pro at this point – she’s been growing up in front of Ally’s camera and we’ve loved all of it!  This time around Alexandra brought her parents for a family photoshoot on location and of course she rocked it.  Kim and Adam did pretty alright too!  Lol…

We haven’t been to this spot in a while so it was nice to get back there for this session.  Let’s get to the highlights! 

Alexandra Brings The Fam

First we have Alexandra and her mommy…

Alexandra Brings

LOVE!!!!!!

Alexandra Brings

Like…..could she be any more adorable?

We have some fun behind the scenes as well from Facebook:

…and now the daddy’s little girl pic:

Alexandra Brings

She is so yummy.

Alexandra was now ready to steal the show for the grand finale in her wagon!

Alexandra Brings

OH. EM. GEEEEEEE.  She is SO CUTE.

Great one to end it on for now, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Alexandra and her parents!

A Symphonic Session of Senior Pictures With Jonah!

by
No Comments

Yes this was a symphonic session indeed, because Jonah is a composer!  An extremely talented young man who attends Interlochen, we hadn’t seen him since he was a little boy and we were thrilled to have him at the studio with his cello for his senior pictures!  I (Doug) used to play the cello in my high school orchestra so I’m obviously a fan of the instrument, and we are now pretty big fans of Jonah.  We’ve known his parents Andy and Dana forever and Dana joined us on his session, while we saw Andy back at the house for a couple pics by the piano!  Good times.  Let’s get to the highlights!

A Symphonic Session!

We started in the studio…

Symphonic Session

The master musician!  You can actually check out Jonah’s website here!  We also have some fun behind the scenes first from the studio on Facebook:

At this point we headed out on location for a couple over by the WB library:

Symphonic Session

Handsome dude!

We also got a few with a little nature… here’s one:

Lindsey In Her Own League With Her Senior Pictures!

by
No Comments

We’ve had great luck with Lindseys throughout the history of the studio…. some of our favorite people to photograph have been Lindseys!  We’re here to tell you this one has continued the tradition, put her stamp on it and perhaps even upped the ante – Lindsey in her own league if you will!  We LOVE this girl. 

You’ve seen Lindsey on the blog before as a spokesmodel representing this current class of 2022 and we were pretty excited to have her back in front of Ally’s camera again and to hang with her and her mom Stacy, so let’s get to the highlights!

Lindsey In Her Own League!

Her Own League

WOW.

We also have some behind the scenes first from Facebook:

You can tell we were having a blast!  Lindsey just fits – she’s one of our peeps no doubt and a total sweetheart. 

Time for an outfit change…

Her Own League

LOVE the white.  She’s totally adorable.

We also have some behind the scenes from Instagram in the “barrel” that we love!
