We Are Elated With Ellery and Her Senior Portraits!

by
No Comments

Elated With Ellery indeed – that’s how we feel about this girl!  We had such an amazing day with her and her mom Jennie and these results are incredible!  It was just comfortable – lots of laughs and they just feel like our people, and Ellery is such a sweetheart.  Smart, athletic, funny, adorable, nice – the whole package, and we’re pretty psyched to present highlights of this class of 2025 West Bloomfield Laker on our blog.  Let’s get to it:

Elated With Ellery

Let’s start in the studio with a little of the black and blowy glam!

Elated With Ellery

Okay she ROCKED this.

Shout out to Lisa Beth North of North Star Luxe on hair and makeup!  We also have a little fun behind the scenes from the studio with Ellery in her letter jacket:

At this point it was time to head out on location for a private spot!

Elated With Ellery

LOVE it.

Elated With Ellery

Okay she’s adorable.

And for the coup de grace – perfect lighting and perfect evening to get in the water to finish it off!  First some behind the scenes from Instagram:

Wow!

And now you see why we are elated with these results, and with this senior!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with Ellery!

Photographing Zane (and Reign) Was Definitely Our Gain!

by
No Comments
Zane is a total character.  He has so much to say and he’s right at that 2 year old stage where you don’t totally understand ALL of it and yet you do at the same time and he’s about as cute of a little guy as you’ll see.  He and his mom Angel and his pup Reign were here for his pictures since he just turned 2 and there were plenty of laughs!
 
Parents will usually say “my two year old won’t sit and pose for two hours” and we always reply “we know, which is why we need two hours!”  Haha – and the not sitting and posing parts are often some of the parts we remember the most.  And yet the results of the session are what last – and these will certainly last…  Zane is a star!  And in all seriousness he did a really great job.  He was a joy to have here and Reign the Bernese Mountain Dog was so much fun to have here too.  Let’s get to the highlights!
 

Photographing Zane!

Zane
Love the bandana!  What a little stud!
 
Now remember the not sitting and posing part?  Who needs sitting and posing???  How great is this pic?
 
Zane
Okay let’s get Reign into the act…
 
Zane
This has to be one of our favorites of all time.  Remember we LOVE Bernese Mountain Dogs and have a canvas of one on the wall of our studio that we photographed years ago.  Reign was such a sweet pup, and we love Reign and Zane smiling together for this one!
 
Okay now for a sweet ending… another one that reminds us of a classic canvas that has been in our studio since right when we opened, and Zane updated it with the big lollipop like a pro!
 
Zane
LOVE.
 
As I said,  Zane and Reign here was our gain!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with them!

Brooke Breaks New Ground On Her Senior Session!

by
No Comments

We’ve been at this senior picture thing for a long long time now, so when a senior comes to us with a new location in mind that we did not know about we get pretty darn excited.  That’s just what Brooke did and so yes, she breaks new ground with this session – a new chapter in Frameable Faces history!  We name spots for seniors who pioneer them so this particular nature preserve will be Brooke’s spot from now on.  We had much fun with this Class of 2025 BHHS Blackhawk and her mom Lisa on this beautiful summer day and we’re excited for you to see these highlights!

We actually started in the studio with a few pics on the black background like this one:

Brooke Breaks New Ground

Gorgeous!

Okay let’s head out…

Brooke Breaks New Ground

 

Brooke Breaks New Ground

A nature preserve we haven’t been to?  YES!  Brooke looks beautiful surrounded by the flowers and we’ve got some behind the scenes, first on Facebook:

Time for another outfit:

Brooke Breaks New Ground

We love what Ally calls the the “big happys” like that one!

We changed locations and outfits again for some fun at Quarton Lake for the last hour – here’s some more behind the scenes from Instagram:

Alan and Myndi Get Married! A Divine Day In Detroit!

by
No Comments

It was an honor for us to photograph Alan and Myndi on their wedding day!  We don’t photograph a ton of weddings but we do enjoy them when we do, whether it’s our event photographer Angela, or once in a while Ally may jump in to do it as a favor to someone we have a past relationship with.  With Alan and Myndi we took a few at the house for the first look and with the kids, and a unique opportunity for portraits at Orchestra Hall that we are sharing here!  Let’s get to the highlights!

Alan and Myndi

As mentioned before we started at the house…  First the lovely bride!  Shout out to Francie Fruitman on the makeup!

Myndi is stunning!!!
 
And now for the first look of the day for the about-to-be-newlyweds!
 
Alan and Myndi
They look pretty happy…  🙂
 
The kids jumped in before we headed downtown (you may even recognize a couple of them from this blog):
 
 
These next couple portraits were so much fun to create – you don’t get the backdrop of Orchestra Hall every day…
 
Alan and Myndi
Spectacular!!!
 
And we’ll leave you with this one on this classic staircase for the classic story of two hearts joining together!
 
Alan and Myndi
And there you have it – a divine day indeed!  We wish Alan and Myndi well and we were honored to be a part of it!

Allie’s Encore (Again) – A Beautiful Summer Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Allie’s encore (again) is an encore (again) because you could say that Allie’s spokesmodel session was kind of an encore already from when she was in here YEARS ago as an adorable little tot.  Click on that to see the pic we added at the end of the blog post of little Allie with her little sis Lily!  So CUTE!

So here is the next encore – the senior pics encore now that she is indeed a class of 2025 senior at Frankel Jewish Academy.   This encore includes highlights from a fantastic day with Allie, and her mom Jenny joined us on location in Birmingham.  We love them both and we’re excited to share – LFG.

Allie’s Encore (Again)

Allie’s session was all outdoors and we really didn’t stray too far from one spot.  Lots of flowers in bloom and plenty of nature to work with.  Here’s outfit #1:

Allie's Encore
Okay she’s adorable.
 
Outfit change time for this closeup!
 
Allie's Encore
Gorgeous.  And a shout out here to NorthStar Luxe by Lisa Beth North on the hair and makeup!
 
And of course we have behind the scenes fun – first from Facebook:

Outfit change!  And flowers!!!

Allie's Encore

Love that one!

Allie's Encore

We love Allie’s laugh!  Smiling while I’m typing!
 
And there you have it.  Ally’s encore (again) was a winner – we could photograph this girl all day.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of her session!

by
No Comments

Dana and Melvin’s family has changed since they were last here….. there are more of them and the kids are all so grown up!!!  It’s been a long time and we were so happy to have them back – they had a short window together before some moved on to other endeavors, summer plans and the like, so this was a great snapshot in time (pun intended)!  Much fun indeed and plenty of laughs during this session with the crew, so let’s get to it:

Super Seven

 

Super Seven

The Oakland U Golden Grizzly Grads Enter The Blog!

by
No Comments

We had a fantastic college grad season this year and we added a couple of schools!  In addition to Michigan and Michigan State we went to Grand Valley, and now the TRIPLE Gs – the Golden Grizzly Grads of Oakland U enter the blog!  We’ve got the two varieties of on campus session with Johnathan along with a more traditional in studio headshot of former Frameable Faces senior Jenna!  Let’s start on campus:

Johnathan at Oakland U!

We’ve known Johnathan for quite some time and his mom Carla and I go back a few decades so this was a ton of fun for us to spend an afternoon on Oakland’s beautiful campus!

Here’s one of our guy at his home base up there – the school of engineering and computer science!

Oakland U

We even went live on Instagram for a little behind the scenes fun!

Jenna Makes Her Return

As for Jenna, we LOVE when we get to photograph former Frameable Faces seniors for their college graduation.  Jenna’s senior session was memorable and it seemed like yesterday…  For her college grad pic she wanted a traditional cap and gown portrait in the studio!

Oakland U

We can’t wait to watch these two take on the world, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!

Costa Coasts Onward As He Celebrates Graduation With The Fam!

by
No Comments

College grad sessions come in three “flavors” you might say.  Sometimes it’s just the individual college grad, sometimes it’s a crew of college grad friends, and sometimes it’s one grad with their family.  We have to say each approach has their own merits and they are all a lot of fun for us.  These highlights are of the grad-with-family variety and what a great family!  The Sideratos family is a delight.  Maria and Nick, with daughters Melina and Katie, and the man of the hour and a future veterinarian – Costa!

Costa Coasts Onward

Now “Costa coasts” isn’t meant to say he didn’t work hard, but we thought it had a fun ring to it for a young man who knows his calling and as animal lovers we love that he’s going to be a vet!

Costa coasts

This family knows the score – Go Blue!

Costa coasts

Going out with your school winning three straight conference championships and a national title is a pretty good way to go out…

From Michigan Stadium it was time to head to a couple other spots on campus…

Costa coasts

This crew was having fun!

And one more close up of our guy:

Costa coasts

That’s a confident and proud Wolverine!

And there you have it!  Costa and his family are awesome and we’re honored to have them on our blog.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!
