In A Pure Michigan Mood With Merrick For Senior Pictures!

We love being in a Pure Michigan Mood – when the fall colors are in full swing and we have a fun senior to photograph?  It doesn’t get much better than that, and Merrick brought his A game!  Merrick has been in front of Ally’s camera several times now going back to when he was little, and most recently as a senior spokesmodel for the class of 2023!  We headed out on a brisk fall day for this session and got some great stuff – check out these highlights!

Pure Michigan Mood with Merrick

We hit some spots around West Bloomfield starting with this one which is one of our faves:

Michigan Mood

Awesome!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from one of our favorite burning red fall trees on Facebook:

And here’s the result:

Michigan Mood

Spectacular!

At this point we planned to get a couple on the track since Merrick is a runner (he comes from a long line of runners) and all around great athlete!  We got some snow flurries which we used to great effect on this next one.  Merrick’s mom Melissa joined us for this series on location and we had a few laughs!  Merrick is a total badass…

Michigan Mood

You’re only cold in your head – it’s all mental!!!

At this point it was time to head back to the studio where we got a little more behind the scenes this time on Instagram:

And there you have it!  A Pure Michigan Mood with Merrick indeed, and that’s a good thing.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Fall At The Ford House With Some Maya Magnificence!

Okay it’s time for some Maya Magnificence!  This session was a first for us at the Ford House which we definitely recommend as a location for Fall Colors as you’ll see in these highlights below.  The staff was so helpful and accommodating and the grounds are, well…magnificent!  This session also was not a first for us though – at least not with this family since Maya is a legacy senior – her big bro Jeremy was a Frameable Faces senior 6 years ago (he’s married now!!) and we’ve known these peeps forever.  So a wonderful fall day with Maya and her mom / our friend Karen was one we were looking forward to!  Let’s get to some highlights of this class of 2023 West Bloomfield Laker!

Maya Magnificence

The entire session took place at the Ford House and the colors were POPPIN’!

Maya Magnificence

BEAUTIFUL.

Let’s give a shoutout to Francie Fruitman on Maya’s makeup, and we have some behind the scenes fun as well – first from Facebook.

Maya Magnificence

Stunning – and that Pure Michigan look!

Yes we’re hyped for Harper and her session which was quite epic – definitely a happening.  Harper is a class of 2023 senior at Cranbrook so that’s where we went for her session with her mom Elizabeth!  We’ve known them for a long time and we were plenty excited for this.  It didn’t disappoint.

Hyped for Harper

Let’s get to some highlights!

Gorgeous!

Of course we have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

And our first outfit change… Harper’s style is definitely on point.

Kylie Killed It For A Fantastic Fall Senior Session – Like For Real

Ally likes to make fun of me for always saying “So and so KILLED IT” when referring to our seniors.  But guess what?  I. DON’T. CARE.  If they killed it then they killed it!  And Kylie?  SHE KILLED IT.  I actually had a really tough time narrowing down what to highlight for this blog post.  Kylie is a Bloomfield Hills Blackhawk and a swimmer – and such a sweetheart!  Her dad Paul came for the consultation to help plan it and then her mom Whitney came to the session!  Great people!  So let’s get to some highlights:

Kylie Killed It!

 We started in the studio for the yearbook headshot but that was it – everything else was out on location and we got off to a great start with this photo!

Kylie Killed

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

At this point we headed over to the WB library where we got these:

Kylie Killed

Pure Michigan and a beautiful girl!

We love this one too:

A Little Fire, A Little Fall Flava With Faris On His Senior Session!

Faris is a legacy with big shoes to fill – his sister Nora‘s portrait has been hanging in the studio for a couple years from her senior session!  But we have to say Faris was totally up for the challenge and created plenty of magic on his own with some FIRE and some FALL FLAVA!  Great kid, great family – we were not surprised in the least.  Mom & Dad Rajaa & Elias are delightful and we have a great time hanging with them.  Now let’s get to some highlights!

Fall Flava & Fire with Faris!

We started on location and we were able to get some cool fall colors – mostly some shades of maize first in the background of the meadow…

Faris

 

Good looking dude!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from that photo on Instagram:

Faris

 

At this point we headed back to the studio where we went with some sports and some style… First the sports with a little West Bloomfield Laker pride – and the FIRE!!! ⚽️🔥

Faris

 

Here is some more behind the scenes of the fire on Facebook:

Lastly we’ll go with the formal look on the grey paper:

Faris

 

What a stud – what a session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Faris!

A Dandy of a Fall Day With Dalia For Senior Pictures!

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:

Dandy

She’s adorable!

Here would be a good time to give a shout out to Francie Fruitman on Dalia’s makeup!  Great job Francie!  Meanwhile here’s some behind the scenes first from Instagram:

Okay we’ll leave you with one more in front of a white barn door and this is a fantastic one to end on:

A Smokin’ Senior Picture Session With Taylor – Literally!

Wow.  Let’s just say we’re pretty DARN excited to share these highlights from Taylor’s senior session…. We fell in love with both Taylor and her mom Charese pretty much immediately.  You can just tell when you connect with your people, and we laughed our butts off on this session – we just had a blast and the results, well….you’ll see.  Meanwhile Taylor is a senior at Detroit Country Day and she’s adorable.  Funny, smart, beautiful, artistic, athletic – a quintuple threat, and we actually broke this session up into two days because we had some specialized strategies laid out to capture what we wanted, so let’s get to the highlights!

Smokin’ Session With Taylor

Okay so actually the smokin’ part happened on the second day.  The first day we started in the studio and we’ll start there:

Taylor

So cute!

We also have some behind the scenes – first from Instagram:

At this point we headed outdoors to Birmingham where our favorite little tree was in full Pure Michigan mode!  We only get this tree in the fall for a short window each year so we are always so excited when we do!  Here’s a little more behind the scenes from Facebook and we have to give props to Taylor who was a real trooper because it was quite chilly…

We also got some yellows and oranges – all the Pure Michigan feels!

Taylor

LOVE that one – the sweater was perfection for this photo.

Now for day two.  We headed over to the track at Detroit Country Day where Taylor’s peeps were practicing – cheerleaders, football – she had an audience!  And we had a WARM evening which was great.  We’re obsessed with how these came out with a little off camera flash combined with some incredible natural lighting…

Taylor

Wow right???

Now for the SMOKIN’ part…  and first one more behind the scenes video from Facebook:

And the smoke:

Taylor

Oh yeah…..

And there you have it!  A smokin’ session indeed with this young lady, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Autumn With Arnav (and TAZZ) On An Incredible Day At Mill Race!

Arnav is all grown up – and a fine young man he’s turned out to be!  We’ve known him since he was about 10 and we hadn’t seen him for a while so we were pretty happy to get the call from his dad Ash for senior pictures!  It was a family affair with Ash, mom Shama and PUP TAZZ!!!!!  Tazz got into the act as you’ll see below, and in the meantime let’s get to the highlights with this class of 2021 senior at the International Academy on an incredible scene of Pure Michigan fall colors at Mill Race Historical Village in Northville!

Autumn With Arnav!

Mill Race Village is definitely one of our favorite new spots to photograph now that we have a permit – there’s so much to work with there!

Arnav

That’s a handsome dude right there…

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Arnav

We have pumpkins…. lol!

And check out these Pure Michigan colors!

Arnav

So cool!

At this point we headed back to the studio for a few – we got some great photos of the family together and as we’ve mentioned we plan to publish a separate blog post highlighting some of our seniors with their families where they jumped in this year…  here’s the scene this time from Instagram:

Cool Fall Colors With Chris and a Senior Session Snowboard!

The Pure Michigan Fall Colors have been stunning this season – that isn’t unique per se since they are always nice this time of year, but the colors have lasted a bit longer this year and the senior sessions have been spectacular.  Chris’s session is no exception!  He’s a Class of 2021 Laker from West Bloomfield High School and we got up and at ’em for a Saturday morning in Birmingham before we returned to the studio for a few pics with his snowboard.  Let’s take a look at the highlights!

Cool Colors With Chris and a Snowboard!

We’ll start with the location photos in Birmingham where we met Chris and his lovely mom Louise!

Stunning shot right?  Love the slight profile look…

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook Live:

Here are a couple more:

Nice!!!  Love that Pure Michigan look…

At this point we headed back to the studio to get a few indoors and that’s where Chris broke out the snowboard!  We have a little more behind the scenes from the studio on Instagram:
