Ah yes, Spring is in the air and so is college graduation!  This has become such a fun time of year for us and if this first crew of the 2024 college grad season in East Lansing is any indication it’s going to be a fantastic one!!!  We also lucked out with the weather – it was a beautiful sunny morning on campus!

2024 College Grad Pics with Spartans!

Let’s get to some highlights – how adorable is this group?

There are plenty of spots around campus to use – some of them iconic and some of them spur of the moment!  The Sparty statue is obviously pretty iconic…

Here’s a little behind the scenes from the bridge by the stadium…

Next is one of those spur of the moment pics – when you see a prime spot for this fantastic five to sit and the sun is hitting just right?  Spectacular!!!

No Comments
As we mentioned in our last post we spent plenty of time on campus this spring – in East Lansing and Ann Arbor and now it’s time to highlight the Wolverines we photographed from the Class of 2023!!!  These sessions are a blast – whether it’s in the Big House or popping champagne at the law quad we are always happy to be a part of these great moments for these college grads.  GO BLUE and let’s get to it!
 

Go BLUE and Go Wolverine Grads!

We’ve got several groups to share some highlights of – we’ll start with this crew at the law quad!

Wolverines
 
And we have some fun behind the scenes too from Facebook!
 

Here’s one of Mikaela solo whom we’ve known forever….

Next up another solo session and with a former Frameable senior Lexi!

Next group of Wolverines – this fabulous crew of young ladies also containing a former Frameable senior Chloe, and we were so happy to meet these girls – they were a delight!

Wolverines

@frameablefaces Such a great group of Wolverine grads! 〽️💙💛🎓🍾 #GoBlue #FrameableFaces #universityofmichigan #Photoshoot #Grads #CollegeGrads #ClassOf2023 #MGoBlue #Champagne #CapAndGown ♬ original sound – Frameable Faces

Last but not least come the dudes at the Big House!!!  This was a blast – even with a major rain delay which “forced” us into the locker room for a few pics, and a shout out to our uber talented photographer friend Susan Adams for the collab on this one – we’ve worked with her a bunch of times and she’s awesome.

Wolverines

Go Blue guys!

Here’s some behind the scenes from the Big House:

Here’s a group shot from the locker room:

When the weather cleared up we finished up on the field…

Spartans Will, and We Will (and did) Photograph Them!

by
No Comments

Spring time is fast becoming one of our favorite seasons for the studio because of all the college grads we have been photographing, and this post is one of those extra special ones for us – we’ll get to that at the end… 😉

Spartan Strong and Spartans Will, So Sparty On!

Listen, we are more than aware having been a part of it ourselves with our son Tony that the Spartan graduating class of 2023 arguably went through more adversity than most graduating classes in the history of our country.  They were the class who was sent home as freshman for the pandemic lockdown, and then as seniors they endured the trauma of the mass shooting tragedy that took the lives of three fellow Spartans on campus this year.  As a group and as a community they persevered and came out strong on the other side, bonded and united together and ready for the future.  We are just happy we got to celebrate some smiles with a handful of them to focus on the overall great experience that each one of them ultimately had in East Lansing.

So here are a few images of a couple of the groups we photographed on the banks of the Red Cedar!

First up: Rachel, Elyssa, and Maggie!

Spartans

Adorable!  And now it’s time to really celebrate!!!

Spartans

Haha…

Next group… Ellie, Leah and Kailee!

Spartans

Gotta get the pic with Sparty…

 

Professionally we don’t want to show favorites.  Personally this next senior is our all time favorite…. we saved him for last.

OUR TONY!!!

And with his adorable girlfriend, Willa!

Spartans

We’re soooooo proud of him.

And there you have it!  Spartans will indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of a few of our sessions in East Lansing!

by
No Comments

This crew of Spartan Grads were a total blast to photograph on a perfect day in East Lansing!!!  Two of them we had photographed before – Marlee for headshots and Lilly was a Frameable Faces senior!  The rest of their pals were delightful and it was a fantastic day, so let’s get to a few highlights!

Spartan Grads Sparty On!

We started by the stadium…

Beautiful Spartans!

Next we headed over to Sparty himself and we have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Haven Returns As A College Grad & A CHEF With Friends & Fam!

by
No Comments
Okay we LOVE Haven.  Some of our seniors kinda become our “extra kids” over the years and Haven is one of them so whenever Haven returns it makes us happy.  We love her and her family!  Haven along with her sister Jubilee were both spokesmodels for us back in the day and it’s great when seniors come back for college grad portraits!  Haven is now a chef and she came in for some pics with a few of her peeps and members of the family!
 

Haven Returns

Let’s start by cookin’ up some magic with Haven in the studio:
 
Haven Returns
LOVE!
 
As a side note we went live on Facebook TWICE to stream some behind the scenes and both times the footage disappeared from Facebook when we finished.  GRRR….  Oh well, the photos tell the story!  We’ll include an extra one to make up for it!  Here’s another one of just Haven with cap and gown in the studio on the simple white backdrop…
Haven Returns
One more from the studio this time with Jubilee and a couple friends!
Haven Returns
At this point we headed to Haven’s home to get a few outdoors and this one is so cool – you see, Haven, Jubilee AND mom Beverly have all received degrees pretty recently, so we had them all together in caps and gowns and tossing the caps!
 
Pure joy – such a happy photo!
 
And we’ll leave you with one more of Haven by herself:
 
Haven Returns
GORGEOUS GRAD!!!!!!
 
Ah yes, what a day.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with them and we are so proud of Haven!

It’s Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine For These U of M Grads Of The Class of 2021!

by
No Comments

We had an incredible day in Ann Arbor with our Lacey and 15 of her housemates who are all graduating this Spring from the University of Michigan!  We have photographed high school seniors up on campus before but this was a first for us and we have two more groups coming up for sessions just like this one!

Meanwhile these girls and this graduating class as a whole has been through plenty with the pandemic.  Lots of uncertainty, lots of virtual classes, lots of adapting and overcoming, and as you’ll see because it comes through in these photos, they did just that.  They are all proud and resilient Wolverines and we’re especially proud to call our Lacey one of them – especially one of this crew!  This was a real treat for us to spend the day with them capturing them in their caps and gowns and their maize and blue!  A day we’ll never forget, and we have the fun highlights here for you!  GO BLUE!

It’s Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine

We started at the Law Quad which is a very popular spot for obvious reasons – the architecture and the whole look is spectacular.

What a crew!

We took a ton of photos and we also livestreamed a little – here’s some behind the scenes from Facebook Live! 

One more from the same spot all in the pastel dresses – such a great look!

Michigan Wolverine

We also took individual photos like this one of our Lacey!

We are so proud of her!!!!

Okay at this point we headed over to Michigan Stadium after a change of outfits for a few pics and some fun at the Big House!

Michigan Wolverine

So much fun, and now it was time to break out the champagne and smoke bombs……

Haha!!!🥂

Michigan Wolverine

LOVE.

Next stop – the Student Union and we have a little more behind the scenes this time from Instagram Live!
