Here we go with the Class of 2019 Spokesmodel Panorama…..RAMA!!! We did this last year and this is just our fun way of stacking these behind the scenes iPhone panoramic photos that Doug took during our spokesmodel sessions. There’s something cool about the way the scope of a panoramic photo can capture and distort a scene in a weird and wonderful way! These are not “professional” photos by any stretch and are not meant to be taken too seriously, but they are a fun way to recap our last few months with our Class of 2019 crew as we head into senior season!
This year’s sessions took us to the usual haunts as well as a new one or two… burned out buildings, majestic theaters, trails and parks, and of course the Frameable Faces studio! We have such an outstanding team representing us this year for the class of 2019 and so in no particular order, here is your panorama…..RAMA!

I’ve always said when a senior calls the studio themselves and sets up the appointment for their own senior pictures that it’s impressive. Not a HUGE thing per se, but it’s usually an indication that they can take some initiative and get things done and we were impressed with Zaire from the start. What a great kid – even called ahead on the day of the session to let us know he might be a few minutes late, and when I said don’t sweat it he said it was important to him to apologize. That says a lot! As for his mom April she’s great too – she has just a little going on with Zaire’s graduation coming up AND Zaire’s sister graduating from college out of state – she’s stressed! But there’s NO stress here at Frameable Faces! Especially when we’ve got such a great senior to photograph and a great day in Pontiac to do it!
In The Zone With Zaire…
Now we will say that we started briefly in the studio to get a few photos on the grey in Zaire’s suit, and while these turned out just fine we’re only going to show you the fun behind the scenes replay of the Instagram live from our YouTube channel because we just love the location photos so much!
Good times and the dude was looking dapper!
To Pontiac
To Pontiac we went and Zaire kept the nice clothes on for the first set of photos where we got this result:
One of our faves from the session for sure…
At this point we went more casual:
We like the reflection in the glass on that one…
Same outfit, different sidewalk!
We also have more behind the scenes fun with the replay of our Facebook Live video at another cool spot… take a look!
And here is the cool result!
Love that one!
So as you can see we were indeed in the zone with Zaire and had a fantastic time with him – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

We love our seniors, we love our spokesmodels, we love THIS crew of class of 2019 spokesmodels that we’re wrapping up, and we LOVE the last one……because he’s OURS!!! Say hello to our son Tony!
Tony!
Tony will be a senior at Bloomfield Hills High School, he plays football and he’s active in BBYO – we’re pretty proud of him and it’s really hard for us to believe he’s going to be a senior already. We did this once before with Tony’s sister Lacey and now we’re at it again! Let’s take a look at a few of the pics from his spokesmodel session! We’ll start with one in the studio on the grey paper:
Love that boy.
That was really about all we did indoors – at this point we headed out to Birmingham to get some more photos, and we also fired up the livestreams to get some behind the scenes fun… first with Facebook Live:
And here are a few results:
Now that’s a bad dude.
Here’s one a little more smiley…
We relocated to a few other spots as well and here is some more behind the scenes from the Instagram Live replay on our YouTube channel:
We’ll leave you with this one serious and edgy portrait of our boy…
YEAH!!!
And there you have it! It’s a wrap on our class of 2019 spokesmodels and Tony finishes it off in style! We’ve been so proud to present this crew and there will still be more to come from them! The rest of the class of 2019 seniors will be on the way soon and we can’t wait to get started! We hope you’ve enjoyed our highlights with all of them and with Tony!

We love springtime seniors! The majority of seniors take their pictures with us throughout the summer and fall but we always get a handful after the winter is over, and when the trees are just starting to bloom it makes for some great scenery! With Joshua we had good weather too and his mom Gail joined us for some fantastic photos on this senior session junket with Joshua!
First an experiment in the Studio…
Before we share the location shots we actually started in the studio, and Ally has been playing with her lighting, so with our big soft box on the other side of the studio she positioned Joshua in front of it for a high key white background instead of our usual white vinyl backdrop and we got this result – pretty cool!
Here’s a little behind the scenes snippet from this experiment from Facebook Live – check it out!
Now let’s catch up with our location day…
Springtime Senior Session Junket
We stayed in and around West Bloomfield where there are plenty of awesome spots like this one that we call “the slab”.
Just chillin’
The other thing that’s cool about Spring seniors is they usually know exactly where they’re going in the Fall. Sometimes they do in the previous Fall but sometimes they don’t yet… For Joshua he’s going BLUE and wearing Maize!
For the last photo Joshua put on a pink shirt which always makes Ally happy – Ally loves the guys in pink and we have more behind the scenes fun here on the Intagram Live replay from our YouTube channel:
And here is the result!
Good looking dude!
And there you have it – our senior session junket with Josh! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

So far we have highlighted 8 – count ’em – 8 senior spokesmodel GIRLS from the upcoming class of 2019. So now it’s time for the 2019 spokesmodel GUYS – Josh and Tony who are buds and bad dudes. Today the focus is on Josh who is a Walled Lake Central Viking, a lacrosse player and potentially a future attorney…
We had a pretty hilarious and productive day with Josh and his mom Amy and we got some great photos indoors and on location so let’s get to ’em!
2019 Spokesmodel Guys – Josh
We started on location in the morning. Morning sessions begin outside while the sun is lower in the sky… Here’s a simple seated photo of our guy…
At this point we relocated and went live on Instagram for some behind the scenes fun! Here’s the replay from our YouTube channel!
And here’s a close up result:
Handsome dude!
Back to the studio…
Now it was time to get SERIOUS…. Suit and tie time!!! We often photograph our formal guys on the grey paper – we just like the way it looks.
At this point we went live again – this time on Facebook for some more behind the scenes:
And we’ll leave you with the photo that could be the consensus favorite – lol…
How great is that?
Josh was a great jump-off point for the class of 2019 spokesmodel guys! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our morning with him. Tony will close it out next….

Chace is our latest senior from the class of 2018 as we get into our last batch of Spring seniors for this class, and he’s a North Farmington Raider so he’s alright by us by default!!! The strong silent type, we had a lot of fun working to pry some smiles and laughs from him along with his parents Erica & Chet and it turned into a memorable day for sure. You could say we were Chace-ing smiles from this guy and we got ’em!
Chace In The Studio
We actually had an on-location plan for Chace but due to some scheduling and weather issues we changed gears and focused on indoor photos – which we are fine with – you’ll see that the results inside or out can be fantastic! We started out with a formal look on the grey paper background:
Sharp looking dude!!!
Here’s another one up close and personal…
We also had a little fun with some livestreaming on Facebook Live – and while you’ll see Chace isn’t the type that looks for the spotlight, the results from his session as you see already are great!
At this point we changed it up a little with a couple casual looks:
Loving that one in black and white!
Next we changed to the white background to end the session and here’s a fun chilled out portrait that we’ll leave you with:
Nice!
So there you have it – we were Chace-ing great photos and we got ’em! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Chace!

We are in awe of Audrey! We were certainly awed by her on her spokesmodel session – what a cool human. We actually have so much in common with this family it’s scary… They’ve rescued a bunch of cats – so did we and we still have a couple of them. Audrey’s dad is in a band. So is Doug. They don’t eat meat. We don’t either…. It just seemed like the planets aligned for us to meet them and Audrey’s mom Michelle is as cool as Audrey – the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Audrey herself is a sharp cookie with personality to burn – we gotta say we think we really recruited well for this year’s spokesmodel crew!!! With Audrey we are also extra excited because she’s our very FIRST Troy Athens Redhawk!!!
Awed By Audrey
So Audrey came ready to roll on a day where the weather forecast kept changing. It was supposed to be a total rainout, and then it wasn’t, but then it did rain, but then it stopped….. sheesh. We were prepared to just go all studio but as you’ll see we did make it outside in the end. We’ll start with the studio though on the black background with the black couch which is a look we love – especially with Audrey’s contrasting blonde hair:
Love that one!
Next we broke out our grey fabric for the first time with this class of 2019 spokesmodel crew. We have two greys – the paper and the fabric and we like both a lot. We also did a little behind the scenes livestreaming for this part on Facebook Live – take a look by clicking on the video below!
And here is one of the grey background results…
Stunning.
Dodging the Downpour
Just before Audrey and Michelle arrived at the studio it was pouring outside – we can hear it from the roof above our studio when it comes down hard. We thought we weren’t going outdoors at all. But then it stopped and the forecast was showing only “cloudy” with 5%-15% chance of rain the rest of the day. So we went out. Right when we got to our location it started raining again and we decided to wait it out for a little bit as we saw our opportunity slipping away…. we were in two cars and we had a group text going…
Hehe….
But lo and behold just when we were about to call it a day the rain stopped! We sprung into action and got a couple more gems – we even got in another livestream on Instagram!
Here’s our fun behind the scenes Instagram Live which skips a little because the signal wasn’t great…
We’ll leave you with one more from outside – we were happy to get these because Spring is finally arriving and there’s a little color out there now….
And there you have it! We were certainly Awed by Audrey – we can’t wait to get her in front of Ally’s camera again for her senior pictures!

We are so thrilled with Paige – we totally connected on her senior spokesmodel session and she is just one of our peeps. That’s it. She just is – she totally fits in and we feel like we’ve known her forever. Her mom Maxine? Same way. We just had so much fun, and so Paige is definitely FRONT PAIGE NEWS for our studio as far as we’re concerned and she is representing Frankel Jewish Academy for the senior class of 2019!
Front Paige News
It’s always funny with the spokesmodel sessions when Ally says to me beforehand “okay I don’t want to go too crazy today” because we don’t need a ton of photos for these sessions in order to get some images out into the scene for the upcoming senior class, and yet that’s often what happens. Very often we just fall in love with our spokesmodel crew and Ally can’t help herself – this session with Paige was a marathon and we probably would have been happy to go longer! We started in the studio so we could get a few photos on our red paper and the silver metal setups. First the red with the full length:
Beautiful!
Next we brought out the silver metal… and we started a Facebook Livestream with Facebook Creator for some behind the scenes fun! Click on it and check it out!
And here is one of the results…
Heading Out
At this point we headed outdoors to get a few photos on location and first we returned to an old graffiti wall we haven’t been to in quite some time… this yielded a real winner! LOVE this one:
We made one more stop over by the West Bloomfield Library for a few and we did a little Instagram livestream for some more behind the scenes fun – take a look from our YouTube channel!
And we’ll leave you with this last one outside…
Beautiful with the backlight and the off camera flash! Definitely front PAIGE news indeed, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our awesome day with her!

Chloe is the third senior we’ve “borrowed” (hehe) from this family to put in front of Ally’s camera after sisters Alayna & Emily, but the third time is a charm since she’s the first spokesmodel from this fam! All these girls are delightful so it’s not a surprise that Chloe is carrying on the tradition so well, it’s just cool that we get to photograph her twice! Today we’re highlighting a few images from her spokesmodel session and the great day we had with her and her mom Krista as she represents the Birmingham Groves class of 2019!
Third Time’s A Charm….Named Chloe
We wanted to get a few photos in the studio first so we went with the black and blowy which we are doing with every spokesmodel…
Love that…
Next we broke out our pink backdrop which usually makes a couple of appearances in each senior class and we have some fun behind the scenes on this one from Facebook Live!
And here’s a pink pic:
Yassssss.
At this point we headed outside – first to one of our favorite nature preserves for a few photos on a set of flat rocks we call “The Slab”:
And we have more behind the scenes fun from this part of the session from our Instagram Live – this is the raw video without comments from our YouTube Channel.
The last photo we’ll share was at the end of the session and involved a little adventure – a passerby suggested we walk about a “fifth” of a mile down the pathway to a “decking” with a great view. It was more like a mile, we wouldn’t say it was a “decking” even though we’re not totally sure what a “decking” is supposed to be, and it wasn’t much of a view. We were a little salty. BUT – we still got a couple of amazing photos on the trail and this one is definitely one of our favorites from the day!!!
Wowsers! Just stunning….
And that’s a great one to finish with! The third time was definitely a charm with Chloe and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

It’s a blessing to have both of your grandmas and Noah brought them both to the studio for his 3 year old portraits! Noah is a ball of energy and we had a lot of fun! Noah’s mom Jen was here and she’s been here a bunch since one of her older daughters Emily has represented our studio this year for the high school senior class of 2018 – so we love these peeps!
Noah and the grandmas
So let’s get to a few of the highlights! First with the grandmas!!!
So CUTE!
Awesome.
We also have some super fun behind the scenes action from Facebook Live – we got cut off in the middle but it’s still pretty great.
Now how about a couple of the big man himself…
Love this in black and white.
Oh – and almost forgot – like the title says, Noah decided that this photo session needed MORE COWBELL!!! Don’t all sessions need a little cowbell? Hehe…
Yes!!! A fun and special session indeed! We hope you enjoyed our time with Noah and his grandmas!
