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

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!

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!

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!

We started by the stadium…

The Frameable Faces 2013 Campus Tour! First stop… MSU!

We have been saying for a long time that it would be fun to visit our seniors when they go away to college, so this year we launched the first annual Frameable Faces Campus Tour! We started out with a trip to East Lansing to visit our Frameable Spartans, and we had a great time!

Frameables at "El Az"!

As usual this get together centered around food.  We arrived on campus and picked up Lainie, Jessica, and Chelsea at their apartments/dorms and headed over to El Azteco which is a Mexican dining favorite at Michigan State for the famous Topopo Salad.  We had lots of laughs and it was great to catch up!  If you enjoy a good salad and you haven’t had one of these you are missing out….

Two Topopos! Yum!

We then walked a few blocks over to Insomnia Cookies – one of the best concepts ever.  Cookies served warm and even delivered until 2:45 AM – wish we would have had this when we were in college….

The Insomnia Cookies didn't last long...

 

Each one of these girls were responsible for some our best “iconic” shots of all time – Lainie actually IN the water with a dress on, Jessica in the snow in a white dress, and Chelsea on the pink background on a huge canvas that hung in our studio for a long time.  Three of our all time favorites!  All in all it was a great night and we hope to do this every year!  Next stop, Ann Arbor….!
