It’s time for the Class of 2018 Spokesmodel Panorama…..RAMA! Haha – so when we were photographing our high school senior spokesmodels throughout the winter and spring of junior year I was playing with my iPhone to grab some behind the scenes panorama photos. These are not “professional” photos by any stretch since I’m not the photographer here for starters…. Ally is. But they are kind of cool and fun so let’s stack them all together and see what we come up with shall we?
It’s a fun way to recap these photo sessions with this awesome crew – in the studio, in the snow, in old crumbling buildings, in a park, two at a time, with moms in the background, with wardrobes sprawled all over…. we’ve had so much fun! Panoramas sometimes give you a distorted view along with the scope of the whole scene, and sometimes it looks like Ally is shooting in a completely different direction (but I can assure you she’s not)!!!
The Class of 2018 Spokesmodel Panorama RAMA!
Sami
Olivia
Nick
Cara and Alena
Zak
Emily
Jordyn
Lauren
Dani
Fun right? Just a fun and interesting way to revisit these sessions and we hope you enjoyed our Class of 2018 Senior Spokesmodel Panorama – RAMA!

We’re dwelling on Dani here, and we may just have saved the best for last here with our 2018 spokesmodel crew… Okay well maybe that’s not totally the case because we love this whole crew so much, but Dani is awesome and we had already hung out with her for dinner at Chipotle before we photographed her so that just proves already how special this girl is to us!
Dani is another one of these superseniors who is sweet, smart and seriously focused on all the right things. She’s a well-rounded student athlete and such a sweetheart – and she comes with a great mom too! Diana is really great and she came on Dani’s session with us. Needless to say we had a blast!
Dwelling On Dani…
We spent a brief time in the studio first on the black background with this super cute outfit:
Love it!
After just a few shots in the studio we headed out on location to the West Bloomfield trail network and a couple of different nature preserves since the conditions were really nice and we fired up some live video for some behind the scenes fun – first on Periscope and if you want to download the app and follow us there at @FrameableFaces you can do it at this link. If you want to just follow our broadcasts from Twitter you can do that too here.
Here’s a full length photo outside – Dani was killin’ it!
We also need to give a shout out to Jordyn Popour from Detroit Glam for the fantastic job on Dani’s makeup, and we will be offering Jordyn’s services on sessions this year so ask us about it when you book your session!
Let’s take a look at one more behind the scenes broadcast from Dani’s session shall we? This time from Facebook Live…
Here’s one more sneak peek from the session for y’all….
So there you have it – dwelling on Dani was well worth it, and we can’t wait to get her back in front of Ally’s camera for her senior pictures along with the rest of the class of 2018! We’ll leave you with the fun Snapchat story from the day!

Join us with Jordyn won’t you? This was a fun springtime spokesmodel session to be sure – we usually start with the new crew of spokesmodels in the studio because it’s winter, and don’t get me wrong we love those! But it’s also nice once the weather starts to break to get out to some of our fave locations and shoot outside and this was our first time back to Quarton Lake in Birmingham in a while.
As for Jordyn, we are pretty darn excited to have her in the new class of 2018 spokesmodel crew. She’s a friend of our daughter Lacey’s and Lacey has good taste. Jordyn is great and her parents are really cool too – it’s fun when both parents are available to come on the session with us! So let’s get to a few of the sneak peeks from our day…
We started in the studio on the black backdrop:
ADORABLE!
We also have plenty of behind the scenes fun for you as usual and here is the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast – be sure to like us on Facebook and you can tune in to future broadcasts there!
Here is one of our well known black and blowy shots – Jordyn rocked it!
This would also be a good time to give a shout out to Jordyn Popour of Detroit Glam for the hair and makeup which she did here in the studio – remember that, because we will be collaborating with Jordyn in the future to offer her services for our senior sessions!
Springtime Spokesmodel…
At this point it was time to head out to Quarton Lake in Birmingham which is a popular spot for our seniors!
We started at the spot we call…..”the spot”!
I mean….. so great right?
Here’s some more behind the scenes this time from the Periscope broadcast. If you want to join in the fun on Periscope you can do it by following us at @FrameableFaces here or you can also just watch from Twitter here.
And here’s a fun last photo for now – Jordyn is clearly having fun here!
And there you have it! We’re glad you joined us with Jordyn for a Springtime Spokesmodel session! We are looking forward to photographing her and the rest of the class of 2018 starting next month! We’ll leave you with the fun Snapchat story from the day!

Zak is a cool kid and this isn’t the first time he’s been in front of Ally’s camera… not his first Frameable Faces rodeo so to speak. You see he was here with his parents for a family session – that would be his parents who were married ONE DAY before we were! So we have something in common with these guys and we knew Zak would be a good representative for the class of 2018 crew, so were there any problems getting some killer shots with this guy? Zip, zilch, nada!!!
Problems For Zak? Zip, zilch, nada!
Zak is an athlete, playing hockey at Orchard Lake St. Mary’s so we started in the studio with his cool letter sweater – there’s something classic about a letter sweater that we love to photograph for senior pictures and we’ll start with this one:
Awesome!
Of course we have some fun behind the scenes action from the session starting with the replay of our Periscope broadcast! If you want to join in on the fun – especially on the Doug & Ally Morning Show T-F (& sometimes S) sometime between 8:30 – 11 AM EST along with various other photo sessions like Zak’s below you can follow us at @FrameableFaces at this link, or if you want to watch the broadcasts from Twitter you can do that too.
We also headed out to the OLSM campus for the outdoor photos and captured some great stuff… locations like this and Cranbrook for example are great for sessions IF you have permission to photograph there. We started with a little more formal look at the grotto.
Looking great…
This next shot is a unique one for us in the tower at the top of one of the buildings! Check it out…
Great shot of Zak there.
We also have more behind the scenes for you at that spot with the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast we did:
We have one more sneak peek photo for you with Orchard Lake as a backdrop – love this one…
So as you can see there were NO problems on this session with Zak – zip, zilch, nada!!! We hope you enjoyed the highlights! We’ll leave you with the Snapchat story from the day!

We are loving Lauren’s likeness in Detroit! Actually I think we’re just loving it on our blog period – Lauren continues to prove why we are so excited about our class of 2018 spokesmodel crew! She came highly recommended and we could tell why the moment she and her mom Gabrielle walked into the studio. We just totally connected with them right away and that’s really how it’s been so far with this group. We were giddy about getting her in front of Ally’s camera and this session was scheduled to take place a couple days after we discovered the Michigan Building downtown with one of our current seniors. There was much more we wanted to explore down there as well as getting over to the Eastern Market for some murals so we had a great plan since Detroit has become more and more popular for senior sessions with the city’s much heralded comeback.
Loving Lauren’s Likeness…
As I mentioned our first stop was at the Michigan Building where we got a pretty cool angle of the amazing and decaying ceiling as a backdrop to our girl – check it out:
So cool!
As always we have some behind the scenes fun for you to show a little bit of the session and how we captured some of these photos. First we have the Periscope replay – if you want to join in the fun at @FrameableFaces on the app you can do that here or if you simply want to check out the broadcasts from Twitter you can do that too.
We also wanted to get over to Eastern Market and do a little mural exploring – these have also become very popular for our seniors in Detroit. We just love being down there – Detroit is so cool…
Lauren is looking great – ripped jeans are a cool look in the city too!
Let’s look at a little more behind the scenes fun, this time from Facebook Live:
Here is a look at a couple more photos… First we’ll show one more from a mural at Eastern Market:
And lastly here’s a closer photo with this half crop… also a very popular shot with various walls for us:
So yeah… we were loving Lauren’s likeness in Detroit and we hope you enjoyed the highlights! We can’t wait to get her back into the studio for her senior portraits soon! We’ll leave you with the fun Snapchat story from the day!

We nominate Nick to be next! We knew we were going to nominate him for a while since his sister Emma was a spokesmodel for us and we love these guys! Emma even came along with their mom Teresa for the session and it was just like old times!
Meanwhile Nick is a bad dude – he’s a nice guy, smart, a heck of an athlete and just really an all around winner. He’s been a delight to have around already and a great representative of our studio! He is a football and baseball player and has plans to compete at the next level, so we had plans to incorporate the sports into the session because we love to show off the fun approach we often take with our student athletes for senior sessions!
We Nominate Nick…
We started out on location on a mid-March day that saw Metro Detroit get a nice snow dump which actually made for a nice opportunity for winter shots since it wasn’t really that cold. Here’s a full length shot…
Pretty cool huh?
Here’s another one a little bit closer up with a half crop of our guy:
What a stud.
Of course we also have plenty of behind the scenes starting with the replay of our Periscope broadcast where Nick got some snow dropped on his head and took some good natured ribbing from the audience! Haha… You can follow us and join in the fun on Periscope at this link or tune in on Twitter at this link.
At this point it was time to get back indoors for the studio shots…
As you know we like to play with fire here….
We also have a replay from the behind the scenes broadcast on Facebook Live in the studio for you…
We have one more from the studio for you for now… not to be outdone by our other senior spokesmodel football player Olivia, here’s a fierce one to end on!
We will leave you with the Snapchat story which is always fun – you should follow us there too and snap us back from time to time at this link!
And there you have it! You can see why we nominate Nick and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day! Hopefully this gives you yet another taste of what options we have for senior pictures for guys!

Yes we are all in with the idea of Alena representing our studio as a spokesmodel for the high school class of 2018! She’s another North Farmington Raider and her mom Mindy was a Raider too just like us! Her dad Loren is a Buckeye but it’s okay….. we still like him (haha). Mindy and I go way back having grown up in the same neighborhood and I’ve always been a fan of hers so it’s really great to have this family in the fold! Good people!
Alena and our Lacey are friends as well and when we met for Alena’s consultation we knew right away that this was going to be fun and we were right. This session was fantastic – it was all in the studio and we played around with multiple backgrounds and colors. Red hair is always fun to put on different backdrops and I swear we have had well above the 1-2% of the population average of redheads here at the studio! Needless to say Alena upheld the tradition in fine style, and with that said let’s get to the photos!
All In With Alena
We started on the blue/grey backdrop to kick it off…
Wow! Yeah Alena looks great and this session rocked…
We also have plenty of behind the scenes fun as always starting with the replay of our live Periscope broadcast – you can follow us on the app and join in the fun at @FrameableFaces at this link or you can just check the channel out on twitter here.
The next backdrop / wardrobe change we have to share is Alena in all black against the rich purple paper backdrop with the dark wood floor – it’s a winner with this playful pose!
Here is the Facebook Live replay where we were shooting on the purple – how fun is this girl by the way? You’ll see in the broadcast!
This next shot is amazing – this patterned backdrop is just perfect with Alena’s hair – we love this…
And let’s leave you with one more black and white full length stunner on the white backdrop…
And there you have it – you can see why we’re all in with Alena – we are thrilled to have her represent our studio at North Farmington for our amazing class of 2018 spokesmodel crew! We hope you enjoyed the highlights and we’ll leave you with our snap story from the day from our YouTube channel…

Yes we care-a ’bout Cara and we have for a few years now!!! She’s a legacy spokesmodel – technically her brother Ben is still a spokesmodel for the current class of 2017 while Cara is representing us for the upcoming class of 2018! It’s funny because while Ben and our Lacey are really close friends, Cara and our Tony claim they are the “better version” of Ben and Lacey…. haha!
As for Cara herself this is a girl with great style and she is a total sweetheart! We’re pretty excited to have her as we continue to gush about our new crew – it just gets better and better with each spokesmodel session. With Cara we stayed in the studio and kept it pretty simple, and while we love all the results we’re particularly excited about how Cara looks on the damask background in the black and white outfit she wore for it. But we’ll get to that in a bit – for now let’s start on the black background…
We Care-A ‘Bout Cara…
The criss cross applesauce on the stool is so fun – it’s a great way to kick this off!
Of course we also have plenty of behind the scenes fun for you starting with the replay of our Periscope live broadcast – you can download the app and be part of the fun on your mobile or desktop at @FrameableFaces at this link or you can just watch from Twitter here.
Moving right along we have this super pretty three quarter length photo of our girl… this would also be a good time to give a shout out to Jessica Quinn for hair and makeup at Salon Matisse – great work!
…and one more in this fun outfit that is ALL Cara in the crouching pose… super fun and super cool:
Before we get to the damask sneak peak let’s go back to the live behind the scenes action this time with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:
And there you have it! You can see that we really care-a ’bout Cara and we can’t wait to get her back in here for her senior pics later this year! Meanwhile don’t forget to sign up for our fun weekly email newsletter by clicking here!

Emily is our first North Farmington Raider of this upcoming class, and as we expect from Raiders she emits excellence – spokesmodeling excellence and plenty of other kinds too! She plays the oboe, and she’s involved in a couple of organizations – smart, funny, talented, beautiful – a multiple threat! We haven’t known Emily long, but we became instant fans when she first came to the studio for our meeting – of her and her mom Jennifer – and we are thrilled to have Emily representing the studio!
Spokesmodeling Excellence…
This session was entirely in the studio as the rain was falling outside, and we love these. For the spokesmodel sessions there is no pressure to go outside and we can try out some new things in the friendly confines of the Frameable Faces studio! We started out with the black background for this one…
Such elegance – she looks fantastic!
We also have plenty of behind the scenes footage from the day starting with the replay of our Periscope broadcast. You can follow us and join in the fun of future broadcasts by getting the app and following us at @frameablefaces here or you can just watch from Twitter!
Next we went with the simple clean white background which is always a winner for this relaxed close up of our girl…
Spokesmodeling excellence indeed…
Next we broke out the red paper backdrop which we love for its richness and we captured a candid and playful Emily here… so fun!
Emily Emits…
At this point we broke out the metal which emits a little reflection of its own, but Emily clearly overpowered it for this next series and we experimented a little here – different angles for a couple of the shots, we flipped over the floor mats to give a stark black floor to add to the industrial look and we added a filter to the finished product – this setup will be known as “The Emily” going forward and here is some of the behind the scenes from the Facebook Live broadcast. As you’ll see things started getting “crazy” at this point! We had double broadcasts going as Emily was live with her own peeps on Instagram and Jennifer was directing some poses for Emily – we had a blast!
LOVE this result….
We’ll leave you with the Snapchat story of the session which we have posted on our YouTube channel…. fun!
And there you have it! Emily clearly emitted spokesmodeling excellence on this day, and we cannot wait to get her back into the studio for her senior pictures later this year! Love her! We hope you are enjoying the continuing highlights of our amazing crew for the upcoming class of 2018!

Here we go moving right along with the upcoming class of 2018 as Sami spokesmodels and slays! We are pretty excited for Sami as we are with all of the members of our new crew so far, and with this session we are particularly excited because we ventured out to a new location we’ve never been to and boy was it worth it! Ally had the idea to give Mill Race Park a try in Commerce, and what a cool spot! The Huron River, trails, a bridge, a covered bridge, graffiti – this park has it all, and all the features are in close proximity to each other. A real gem!
Speaking of gems, Sami is surely one herself. We’ve known Sami for a few years as well as her mom and dad and she is a real sweetheart – everyone has nothing but the nicest things to say about Sami! She’s not only sweet and adorable either – she’s on debate team, Peer Corps, and she dances too! She looked beautiful and the weather was crazy warm – 60 degrees on February 23rd!!! And yes – that was yesterday as of this writing! Ally was pretty excited to go through these and she grabbed 4 to edit so we could rush this out onto the blog and send out in our weekly Friday newsletter which you can sign up for here. So with a quick shout out to the girls at Mandy Rose Studio for Sami’s makeup and hair let’s get to the location shots where Sami spokesmodels and slays shall we?
Sami Spokesmodels and Slays….
So the first landmark we came across was this cool bridge and that’s where we started:
Love it!
We also have plenty of behind the scenes fun from the session for you to check out. First the replay of our live Periscope broadcast – you can join us on Periscope to be a part of our broadcasts here or you can just follow and watch from twitter as well!
There are some great remains from the Commerce Roller Mill which dates back to the 1840’s so we played around with them for some shots – here’s one…
When we were researching this location there was mention on the website of a covered bridge so we (Sami actually) found it and we fired up another Facebook Live broadcast…
…..and here is a resulting photo from the bridge! “Sami’s bridge” going forward since she pioneered it which is how we roll here at Frameable Faces. Actually the whole park is Sami’s…. lol.
How cute is she?
Okay now we have one more shot to share – Ally loves this one of Sami just being adorable looking over her shoulder with more ruins in the background…
We also did a few shots in the studio and you take a look at the behind the scenes fun below! Sami will ultimately be able to share some of these on her own but we wanted to focus on the location for this post since it was a new spot for us!
We’ll finish it off with the Snapchat story we posted from the session – be sure to follow us there too!
So there you have it! We now know when Sami spokesmodels it’s surely something special and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her! She’ll be back on this blog and in the window of our studio – we’re not through with her yet!!! Lol!

We also need to give a shout out to Jordyn Popour from 
Let’s take a look at one more behind the scenes broadcast from Dani’s session shall we? This time from 
And there you have it! We’re glad you joined us with Jordyn for a Springtime Spokesmodel session! We are looking forward to photographing her and the rest of the class of 2018 starting next month! We’ll leave you with the fun 
Lauren is looking great – ripped jeans are a cool look in the city too!
