Bruw-ing A Stellar Senior Session With Max-imum Results!

by
No Comments

So of course this title is a play on words right?  Well it’s because this stellar senior session features Max and he’s been here in the studio before….with his coffee beans and his cold BRUW filter which is his very own company!  This enterprising young entrepreneur is getting it done and you can check out his website along with a few photos by US at www.bruw.net!

Stellar Senior Session…

But here we need to get to the task at hand and that’s the highlights from Max’s stellar senior session!  Max’s mom Susan accompanied us and even his dad Dave came by for a bit on location!  We started out in the studio so let’s begin there with a formal shot of our guy on the grey paper background:

Stellar Senior Session

Niiiiice!

We also have some behind the scenes fun for you first with the replay of our live Periscope broadcast in the studio.  If you want to be a part of our shows there you can download the app and tune in at @FrameableFaces at this link, and if you just want to watch from twitter you can do that here.

Now it’s time to head outside where…

Fall colors were a-BRUW-in’

Yes they were!  Plenty of great spots to shoot right in and around West Bloomfield and that’s just where we stayed!  The first shot features more brick than oranges or reds but it’s cool!  Just Max chillin’

Stellar Senior Session

The next photo is a bit unique in that we don’t think we’ve used this chair on location before – it’s a neat photo with some of that “Pure Michigan” color in the background!  Here’s the behind the scenes of the shot from Facebook Live…

…and the result!

Stellar Senior Session

Pretty nice!

One more Periscope replay for good measure (we were having a lot of fun)….  lol!

And one last photo of Max – and just as the rain started to fall too…. good timing!

Stellar Senior Session

And there it is!  We BRUWed a stellar senior session with Max for sure, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

A Magical and Multigenerational Family Session (and 67 Years Of Marriage)!

by
No Comments

This is so awesome – Cheryl just popped into the studio asking if we could shoot here in a week if she could pull everyone together since everyone was in town, and we had an open time slot so it worked out!  And what a magical multigenerational family session it was!!!  Cheryl’s hubby, wonderful kids, and parents who have been married for SIXTY SEVEN years were all here and this was surely special.

Multigenerational Family Session…

These are always special really – such a cool moment to capture to have everyone here looking great and enjoying being in portraits together celebrating family, and we kept this one simple on the white background which always looks good.  We’ll start with the whole crew:

Multigenerational Family Session

Oh My Maya! Yasss This Senior Session Was Quite Memorable!

by
No Comments

Oh my Maya!  That’s what these photos will make you want to say out loud since Maya killed it on her senior session!  You may remember Maya’s spokesmodel session in Detroit from earlier this year since she represented our studio for the class of 2017, and we love when our spokesmodels return for their senior session!  You see, the spokesmodel session is kind of “our session” to try out new spots, backdrops, styles and trends, while the senior session is “their session” to do whatever they want!  In Maya’s case the plan was to get more of a fall session so we headed outside in October to do just that.

Oh My Maya!

Maya’s mom Julie joined us and we had a great time, but before we head out on location let’s take a look at a studio photo on the black background with Maya sporting her figure skating gear!  Very nice!

Oh My Maya

We also have some behind the scenes action for you from the day, first with a broadcast replay from the studio on Periscope – if you want to be a part of our shows there you can download the app and follow us at @FrameableFaces at this link, or if you just want to watch from Twitter you can do that as well here.

Now let’s head out to see the location shots, starting with this secluded bridge at Heritage Park where we spent our time… 

Oh My Maya

Gorgeous – the colors, the backlight, the senior!  🙂

Here’s another one at a different spot:

Oh My Maya

Conditions were just perfect and Maya looks fabulous!  Let’s take a look at some more behind the scenes this time from Facebook Live!

We’ll leave you with one more…

Oh My Maya

So cute!  And there you have it – oh my Maya!!!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights from our day with her!

Alison Arrives In Style For Some Senior Pics With Us In Detroit!

by
No Comments

It’s clear that Alison arrives in style as she did on the day of her senior session which took us all around Detroit! This included Belle Isle which we traversed and found a couple of new trails and spots there (that’s three senior posts in a row with new spots).  We also spent some time exploring Eastern Market and we even made a stop for a bite at one of Detroit’s many amazing local eateries – Parks & Rec!  So you could say we really killed it – a great day with great results!

Alison Arrives…

Alison’s mom Cindy came with us for our adventure and we had a great time!  We started on Belle Isle and our first shot is a new spot which will be known as Alison’s bridge from now on for our sessions down there!  Very cool…

Alison Arrives

We also have plenty of behind the scenes action to share – starting with a broadcast replay from Periscope!  You can download the app and be a part of our broadcasts by following us at @FrameableFaces at this link, or you can just watch from Twitter here.

After Belle Isle we headed over to the Eastern Market to hunt for some murals, abandoned buildings, and graffiti and we found a little of each!  Here’s one more broadcast this time from Facebook before we headed over there…

Over at Eastern Market we started out with this cool mural…

Alison Arrives

Love it!

We also headed back to what is becoming one of our favorite abandoned buildings down there for this photo:

Alison Arrives

Yasssssss Alison!

At this point after a pit stop at Parks & Rec for a little yummy brunch we headed back to the studio for a few more and we’ll leave you with one of those on the black background:

Alison Arrives

What a session, what a day, and what a senior!  Alison arrived in style for sure and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Ben Is Back And His Senior Session Was Another First For Us!

by
No Comments

Yes Ben is back!  You may remember Ben from his spokesmodel photos representing the class of 2017 back in May, and now it’s time to share some highlights from his senior session – what was cool about this session (aside from Ben himself and his mom Gina who is a friend of ours) was that like the previous senior we just posted it was marked by a new location for us.  We had heard about Shiawassee Park in Farmington and driven past it over the years but we never thought to shoot there.  Well we can say now that it’s really nice and this was a great first for us!

Ben Is Back…

Don’t let the title mislead you by the way – Ben never “left” and we see Ben a lot actually, but this is his return to the blog and it starts with this shot in Farmington Hills:

Ben

Cool huh?  What a cool dude.

We also have plenty of behind the scenes fun from our day and while we are focusing on the location photos from the session here we also spent some time in the studio which you can see from this replay of our Periscope broadcast.  You can download the app and follow us there at this link, or you can just watch from Twitter at this link – either way be sure to follow us at @FrameableFaces!

Meanwhile we mentioned Shiawassee Park before and now it’s time to share a couple of photos from that location.  First with this neat spot at a bridge over the creek…

Ben

So awesome!!!  Ben and our daughter Lacey are pretty close friends so we know Ben pretty well and we were having fun at this point!  Ben is a cool guy too – he’s a pilot!  Yes – of planes…!

Here’s another, this time close up:

Ben

Here is the other behind the scenes broadcast we have to share – this time from Facebook Live!

Moving right along we left Shiawassee and headed to a blue door Ally had in mind, and we’ll leave you with this one…

BenDig it.

And that’s it!   Ben was back and in a big way – awesome times and a great session with this guy.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

Quinn And Our Quest For Quality Locations On Her Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Quinn is a Qaracter (see what I did there?).  Haha – a character in the best way!  She’s smart, funny, unique and beautiful and she was totally into this session!  She made it a lot of fun to photograph her and her mom Linda is kind of awesome too.  We laughed a lot on this session and most notably for us we found several new spots to photograph in Birmingham that were right under our noses but we never noticed them!  Our quest was surely a success and we’re excited to share the highlights!!!

First in the studio…

We started in the studio but that doesn’t mean the photo we have here is any less uniquely Quinn – we hadn’t quite used this combination before with this floor, this chair, and the black backdrop…  Love this:

Quinn

The browns and earth tones – so cool!  She looks fantastic!

We also have our behind the scenes broadcast replays from our day – first on Periscope from the studio, and if you want to be a part of our shows there you can download the link and follow us at @FrameableFaces here, or if you just want to watch from twitter you can do that as well!

Quinn and our Quest…

Here’s where it even gets more fun – we headed to Birmingham for the location photos and Ally just happened to notice that there was actually a pretty cool fence at the edge of a parking lot we use all the time.  It’s perfect!  It’s “Quinn’s Fence” now since that’s how we roll – we name new spots after the senior who pioneered them!

QuinnAwesome.

Here is the broadcast from this portion of the session (kinda funny – a couple of Howard Stern Show references and a couple salty drivers…) this time from Facebook Live!

We also found another spot we walk by all the time – a door behind glass that gives a cool effect and, well – Quinn is just a pro….

Quinn

At this point we headed over to Quarton Lake (no not an excuse to get another Q word in here lol) to get a few more shots with what light we had left – the conditions were great and the lighting perfect…  Here is the Periscope replay:

…and here is the amazing result!

Quinn

So there it is.  A successful quest with Quinn indeed to produce a spectacular session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Sahana’s Senior Session Is Pure Sunshine And Splendor!

by
No Comments

Sahana’s senior session was pure sunshine and splendor and it comes as no surprise – we have known Sahana for years and we had been looking forward to the day when we would have her here as a senior!  She is a sweetheart and a talented violinist to boot.  We also love when we have the chance to photograph traditional clothing – in this case an Indian half saree which is so colorful!  So we have studio, sunshine, and certainly splendor so let’s get to it!

Sahana’s Senior Session…

Sahana’s mom Sandya came along for the session and she is wonderful too so we were in for a great day.  We started in the studio and went with a couple different outfits and backdrops.  We’ll start with the black background:

Sahana's Senior Session

Beautiful – and we haven’t even gotten to the “sunshine and splendor” yet!  Haha…

We also have plenty of behind the scenes fun from the live broadcasts we did that day.  First our Periscope broadcast from the studio – if you want to be a part of our shows you can download the twitter-owned app and follow us at @FrameableFaces at this link, or if you just want to watch from twitter you can follow us here:

Here’s one more photo from the studio on the white backdrop – loving the ripped white jeans on white look!

Sahana's Senior Session

And here is the Facebook Live broadcast from the studio before we head out on location…  🙂

Now it’s time to head out for the:

Pure Sunshine And Splendor!

First we have this wonderful close up – the conditions and the lighting were just right and Ally captured this gorgeous shot of Sahana!  Love that bit of backlight on her hair!

Sahana's Senior Session

We also had some fun with another broadcast outdoors on Periscope while Sahana was in the outfit above:

….and last but not least we have the colorful splendor of the traditional Indian half saree for this wonderful photo!!!

Sahana's Senior Session

So there you have it!  The pure sunshine and splendor of Sahana’s senior session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

With Sophia We Think We’ll Rename The Age The “Treasured Twos”!

by
No Comments

You’ve heard of the “terrible twos”?  Not even close – Sophia is clearly one of the “treasured twos”!!!  So adorable, plenty of personality and a little superstar in front of Ally’s camera when she came to the studio for her photo session with her delightful mom Michele!  We photographed her exclusively indoors here at the studio and we think you’ll melt when you see these photos!

Treasured Twos…

This is evidence for changing the name from terrible to treasured in our opinion and let’s start to prove why with this first photo in a half black and white tone… Treasured Twos

Those eyelashes!

We stayed with this backdrop for a classic look for a few more photos – here’s another:

Treasured Twos

How cute is she?

We also have some behind the scenes fun for you here – we broadcasted a little bit on Periscope as well as Facebook Live.  First let’s start with the Periscope replay.  If you would like to be a part of our broadcasts there you can download the app and follow us at @frameablefaces at this link, and if you prefer just to watch from twitter you can do that too by clicking here. 

And here is some more behind the scenes from the Facebook Live broadcast!

Now let’s get back to a couple more photos where we changed it up a little with a different backdrop first with our purple settee…

Treasured Twos

And we have one more to share with one of our fun little benches where Sophia is hanging out with a few friends…

Treasured Twos

She was having so much fun!!!  We loved this session with this “treasured two” and we hope you liked the highlights too!

Showing Off Some Senior Pics – Yes We Are Brandishing Brandon!

by
No Comments

To brandish is “to wave or flourish (a weapon) in a triumphant, threatening, or ostentatious way” and in this case we are brandishing Brandon – his senior photos that is, because Ally’s “weapon” is a Canon 5D Mark III, the photos are awesome, and so that does make this indeed a “triumph”!  At least we think so…  Haha!

We photographed Brandon’s sister Lindsey for her senior session a couple years ago (not to mention for years before that for her dance photos) and we’ve known Brandon for a few years so we were happy to get the call from his mom Michelle that they were returning!  Brandon is a great kid – soft spoken but driven and we enjoyed being with him a lot!  So let’s get to the photos…!

Brandishing Brandon

We started out in the studio on the black background and this first photo is great in black and white!

Brandishing Brandon

So cool…

We also have some behind the scenes action for you – here is the replay of our studio broadcast on Periscope – if you want to be a part of our live broadcasts there you can download the app and follow us at @frameablefaces at this link, and if you prefer to just watch from twitter you can do that here.

Now let’s continue to our location photos in Birmingham where we got some natural photos and some city photos – we’ll start with the natural setting…

Brandishing Brandon

There was a little chill in the air on this day but overall the conditions were fine and the lighting was great…  We broadcasted a little more at this spot, this time on Facebook Live, and it was around this time that Michelle had to run back to the van to get something – she had a little trouble with the car alarm and she caused a bit of a ruckus… haha!!!

One more by the stream…

Brandishing Brandon

Awesome!

At this point we headed over to downtown Birmingham to get some brick and textures where we captured this close up:

Brandishing Brandon

And there it is – brandishing Brandon – triumphantly as the definition suggests!  We think his session rocked and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

by
No Comments

Hey hey Haley!  We are excited to have this girl on our blog!  Another long time friend of our daughter’s whom we’ve known for years, Haley is a sweetheart and our families are friends.  So this was another one of those surreal sessions which seems to be a recurring theme this year….  lol!  This session was complete with several wildlife adventures and provided for plenty of hilarity and some hiccups – like actual hiccups!  But at the end of the day it was about the photos and it was about Haley so let’s get to the pics shall we?

Hey Hey Haley!

We started in the studio with one of our fancy chairs and the black background – love this!

Hey Hey Haley

She looks amazing!

We didn’t spend a ton of time in the studio but we do have a behind the scenes broadcast replay from inside that we did on Periscope – you can download the app and follow us at @FrameableFaces at this link or you can just watch from Twitter here.

Time to head outside…

Hey Hey HaleyWe love these types of photos in the meadow – we had just a hint of fall pop in the background and the lighting was really nice – the conditions were great that day!  We have plenty of behind the scenes from the location(s) too, starting with a broadcast replay from Facebook Live:

Before we get to the last couple of photos we are including here the Snapchat story from the session because, well…..it’s funny (remember I said something about wildlife adventures)!  Plus you’ll also see where the fam jumped in for a photo!  Stuart, Donna and Maddy!

Here’s another fab photo from outside…

Hey Hey Haley

Sooooo pretty!

One more broadcast…
