A Stunning Breakaway Senior Session In Hockeytown With Morgan!

by
No Comments

A breakaway in hockey is when a player has the puck and an open skating lane to the net with no one in front of her.  That’s how we felt with Morgan on her senior session – nothing stopping us and nothing stopping this girl!  Morgan is one of our spokesmodels for the class of 2019 and we were looking forward to this session – especially since Little Caesars Arena is her team’s home ice and we were able to get on the ice for a few photos!  But more on that later…

A Stunning Breakaway Senior Session…

Morgan’s mom Jodi joined us for an overall epic day in Detroit which started on Belle Isle.  We really thought we might be in trouble with the weather but that day was pretty much do or die scheduling wise and it started to pour on the way down.  Uh oh….  BUT – lo and behold it stopped when we got to Belle Isle and there wasn’t another drop from the time we started photographing Morgan!  Let’s start with this amazing new angle of the D as the backdrop for this stunning image of our girl!

Breakaway Senior

WOWWWWWWW.  Such a cool image and Morgan looks fantastic!

Here’s one up close and personal:

Breakaway Senior

At this point we headed over to Eastern Market to get some murals and we fired up the Instagram LIVE for some behind the scenes fun:

And here’s a cool mural shot with Morgan’s reflection in the water from the day’s rains…

Breakaway Senior

Just love that one…

Now it was time to head over to Little Caesar’s Arena and with a little assist from Red Wings Zamboni legend and building manager Al Sobotka we headed on down to the practice ice where Morgan’s team the Little Caesar’s 19U Girls AAA plays.  Here’s the fun behind the scenes from Facebook Live!

And we’ll leave you with this fun photo from the ice!

Breakaway Senior

Okay actually we’ll leave you with the Snapchat story from the day because it’s just too good…. including the fiery setup in the studio after a stop at Chili Mustard Onions for lunch!  So much to cover – too much to cram all of it into a blog post!!! Lol…  

And there you have it – a stunning breakaway senior session with Morgan in Hockeytown indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

It’s Madi Madness! A Super Fun Senior Session That We “Crushed”!

by
No Comments

So how about some Madi Madness?  Madness in a good way – as in madly great photos of a madly great girl…  What a sweetheart and her mom Teresa is a delight as well!  We actually met Madi months ago here at the studio when she popped in with our son’s buddy and current spokesmodel (and current Madi boyfriend) Josh, and we liked her instantly – she’s hard not to like.

Madi Madness

We had a game plan that focused mainly on outdoor location photos in Birmingham and we even had the pup join!  But first let’s start with just Madi with this beautiful closeup:

Madi Madness

 
Gorgeous!
 
We also have some fun behind the scenes first from the replay of our Instagram Livestream:
 

And here’s where the session temporarily went to the dogs – say hi to Ollie!

Madi Madness

Love a smiling pup!

At this point we headed over to downtown Birmingham where we took this classic pose by Madi’s request – and she rocked it!

Madi Madness

We fired up the live video one more time too – this time on Facebook Live:

And we’ll leave you with one more cute pose with the lamppost:

Madi Madness

Love it!  And we love Madi Madness!  We hope you loved the highlights of our day with her!

Oh wait….  our friend Aaron Norvell has a hashtag he’s promoting on Instagram called #IJustCrushed – we got in on that as a little bonus for you… hehe…

We’re excited to bring you another cameo from Chloe here on our blog!  Chloe is representing our studio as a spokesmodel for the class of 2019 at Birmingham Groves and she’s the third and final Frameable Faces senior of three sisters in this family!  Chloe is closing a chapter you might say…and while she might be last she’s certainly not least!

Chloe Makes Another Cameo

For Chloe’s session her mom Krista accompanied us to Birmingham where we got some natural settings and some city settings – we’ll start with the natural first…

Another Cameo

So pretty!!!

We also have some behind the scenes fun from the session – first with the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast:

At this point we headed over to downtown Birmingham where we got some great stuff!  Like this…

Another Cameo

And this….

Another Cameo

We also have some behind the scenes from the Instagram Live we did as well:

And we’ll leave you with one more photo:

Another Cameo

A little patriotic flair on that one – she was born on the 4th of July after all…!  And there you have it – another cameo from Chloe and it’s a fine one!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our morning with her!

Classifying Claudia’s Closeups as Clearly The Cat’s Pajamas!

by
No Comments

Alliteration runs wild as we’re classifying Claudia’s Closeups as Clearly The Cat’s Pajamas!!!  They are indeed and we’re not surprised.  Claudia has represented our studio as a spokesmodel this year at our beloved alma mater North Farmington High School and we couldn’t be prouder.  She’s really “put her best foot forward” – more on that in a sec.  The truth is we do love this girl and we’ve been so happy to get to know her and her delightful momma Sandy.  We have a ball when we’re hanging out with these girls.

Best Foot Forward

Meanwhile Claudia achieved a little fame this year – well part of her did.  You see, our school now has a tradition that has become well known and even covered in the online media such as Mashable which involves dressing up as hilarious characters for their student IDs and these shenanigans tend to go viral.  Here’s the screen shot from the Mashable article which saved Claudia’s as the best for last…..

What an ID!!!!   LOL….so hilarious.  Nice work Claudia!

Meanwhile we wanted to get some photos of not just Claudia’s foot, so we headed out on location to a few natural settings on a nice sunny day armed with a few wardrobe changes and here are the highlights!

Claudia’s Closeups

Closeups

Wow!  Claudia looks amazing in the meadow!  We have some fun behind the scenes action for you as well, 

And another result from the preserve:

CloseupsStunning…

At this point we moved to another location where we saw (and avoided) a bee’s nest about the size of a large watermelon…. whoa.  But we got more great photos – all of Claudia’s closeups from this day as we stated in the title were the cat’s pajamas…

Closeups

We also have more behind the scenes fun this time from Facebook:

 

And one last photo from our day:

Closeups

Just beautiful!!!

So there you have it – classfying Claudia’s closeups as the cat’s pajamas was clearly on point – wouldn’t you agree?  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Jeremy’s Jam – A Killer Senior Session With A Kick!

by
No Comments

Wow – Jeremy’s senior session was the jam – an epic day that took us from their home on the lake all the way down to Detroit for some Eastern Market Mustang Mural Madness and back to the studio for some pics with a KICK!  What a day…  and what a family!  Love these guys and they joined us too!

Jeremy’s Jam

After a brief start at the homestead with a few extended family photos we headed to downtown Detroit and the Eastern Market neighborhood for a couple murals, but this was no ordinary senior-with-a-mural shot – okay none of them are “ordinary”, but this was a mural Jeremy and his parents had their eye on – a huge Ford Mustang, and a perfect spot to park Jeremy’s Mustang in front of!  SO COOL – here’s a little video of us getting the shot and it took a little trial and error to get the lighting right but Ally finally found the spot for the off camera flash which you can see on the ground in this video…

…and here’s is the killer result!

Kick

Love that photo!  A first for us of its kind…

We also grabbed another mural photo up close with Jeremy here – also a first with a mosaic wall we had been wanting to use for a while (we’ve already been back since):

Kick

Love it!

Session With A Kick

After a stop at Pie-Sci for the best Pizza in Detroit we headed back to the studio to finish things up and we started with the yearbook photo and then a few more formal pics…

Kick

Looking sharp!

Next we got some soccer gear going – we love sports photos especially when they’re on FIRE!  Here’s some more behind the scenes fun this time from the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

And one of the fiery results (which almost burned down the studio…lol):

Kick

Another first – with the flaming ball on the foot!  Jeremy’s Jam was a session of firsts and we got a real KICK out of it indeed!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Elan Epitomizes Character On His Senior Session – He Has It and He IS It!

by
No Comments

We love this kid – he’s been a buddy of our Tony for years and he’s a great kid – and he’s a character in a good way.  Thinking about him can make us smile – Elan epitomizes character, as in he has it and he IS it!  We’ve spent plenty of time with his mom Julie over the years too – in the bleachers at swim meets, football games and even in her chair at her office (she’s our dentist)!  These guys were the first to call us for the class of 2019 so we had this on our radar and our calendar for a long time and we had fun…!!!

Elan Epitomizes Character…

We did a combo of studio and location work with Elan and we’ll start in the studio:

Elan Epitomizes

Now that’s a dapper dude…

We also have some fun behind the scenes action – first with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:

At this point we headed out on location for a few – first with a cool textured wall that we like, and some photos just look good in black and white like this one!

Elan Epitomizes

Next we wanted some natural settings so we’ll finish with these:

Elan Epitomizes

Digging the flannel!

We also have the behind the scenes Snapchat story for you here with a few fun filters too…

And we’ll leave you with one more up close and personal!

Elan Epitomizes

And there you have it!  Elan epitomizes character and it comes through in the photos!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Ally Photographing Ally! Does It Get Any Better For A Senior Session?

by
No Comments

Ally photographing Ally is about as good as it gets.  Especially this Ally since her mom Teri was inspired by our Ally to use the name Ally for her daughter!  So with this senior session the circle of life is complete!!!  Haha…  Ally is also a legacy here since we photographed her sister Julia, so a fun day was definitely in store and a fun day we had.  Let’s take a look at some of the highlights!

Ally Photographing Ally

We had a great game plan simply because summertime in West Bloomfield is beautiful and we had a great day for it.  We focused on location photos, starting out bouncing around a couple of natural settings like this one:

Ally Photographing Ally

Love it and Ally looks beautiful!

Of course we have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook Live (the video might be choppy – we’re not sure why):

There’s a bog we like as well that during a certain window of time is covered with algae and it looks really cool as a backdrop:

Ally Photographing Ally

Pretty nice huh?

At this point we headed to a lake to finish up and the session went to the dogs…

Ally Photographing Ally

Love when the pets jump in!  That’s Black and White Baby Joe!!!

We also have the Snapchat story from the day for some more behind the scenes action:

We’ll leave you with this final photo of Ally getting in the water!

Ally Photographing Ally

Love it.  And love Ally photographing Ally!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Taking Over Detroit For Senior Pictures With The Jack Attack!

by
No Comments

It’s time for the Jack Attack!!! As in Jack’s senior pics in Detroit where we had an epic day!  Jack is a legacy here which is always fun since we photographed his big sis Kylie too a couple years ago!  With Jack we hit a bunch of spots including some Pie-Sci Pizza which is becoming our go to – we love hanging in Detroit!  Jack’s mom Kelly joined as well, so let’s get to the highlights shall we?

Jack Attack in the D

We started out at Belle Isle and we used the fountain with a new angle that we haven’t used before for a really cool photo of Jack with the fountain way in the distance…

Jack Attack

Love this – pretty sure we’ll be doing this again – it will be known as “The Jack” shot.

We also have some behind the scenes first from the replay of our Instagram Live broadcast:

We also grabbed a photo of Jack on the red bridge that we really like there before moving on to get some murals…

Jack Attack

At this point we headed over to the Eastern Market to get some photos of Jack with some murals and we discovered this huge one of some of Jack’s favorite hip hop artists – we’re including it here as an extra for fun – Jack is small in the photo but the whole thing is pretty sweet – check it out:

Jack Attack

And here we have some behind the scenes this time from Facebook Live before we get to a couple more photos:

Fun right?  Okay two more photos:

Jack Attack

Lots of great spots to photograph in the D…

Jack Attack

And there you have it – the Detroit takeover with the Jack Attack!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

A Million Kilowatts of Awesomeness With Kaitlyn On Her Senior Session!

by
No Comments

Kilowatts are units of energy and it’s an appropriate word to describe the awesomeness that is Kaitlyn.  She’s a bundle of infectious personality and energy and we just LOVE her.  We’ve said this before but we’ll say it again – she’s one of our all time favorite people and we couldn’t think of anyone better to photograph on Ally’s birthday!  Kaitlyn and her mom Sara even brought us Yummy Cupcakes to celebrate!

Kilowatts

What’s funny is the timing of this has me (Doug) writing this on MY birthday which has me smiling too!  Kaitlyn is representing our studio this year as a spokesmodel at Bloomfield Hills High School at our son Tony’s suggestion and he was spot on with that recommendation.  We had an epic spokesmodel session with Kaitlyn in Detroit and we couldn’t wait to get her in front of Ally’s camera again!  But could we top it???  A million kilowatts of awesomeness with Kaitlyn would suggest a resounding YES!!!

A Million Kilowatts Of Awesomeness With Kaitlyn

The last time Katilyn was here we got some studio stuff along with the Detroit pics and this time we decided to spend all of our quality time outside for some natural scenery – of course we upped the ante a bit which we’ll get to but we’ll start in the meadow:

KilowattsSo beautiful with the pop of color!

We also have some behind the scenes fun starting with the Instagram Live replay where you can see I had a little fun with Sara – and who by the way is totally delightful which comes as no surprise as Kaitlyn’s mom.


 

As a little bonus here is a bit of twitter trolling from the video above… hehe….

Kilowatts

LOL.

At this point it was time to add some KILOWATTS OF AWESOMENESS to the session.

Kilowatts

Wow.

And if that weren’t enough, we finished with Kaitlyn IN the water!!!  First here is the behind the scenes replay of the Facebook Live broadcast:

And now….. well we’ll let these speak for themselves.

Kilowatts

Just stunning!

Kilowatts

One of our favorite sessions ever.  We’re going to include the Snapchat Story here too while we’re at it:

So there you go…  such a wonderful day and fantastic session.  A million kilowatts of awesomeness with Kaitlyn!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

by
No Comments

Twin baby sisters are such a special treat especially when they’re newborns!  Emma and Elena came to the studio with mom and dad Elyse and Erik and they were so adorable!!!  They were very easy to photograph too – they spent most of the time sleeping which is perfect for photographing newborns.  So let’s get right to the preciousness!

Twin Baby Sisters Are Twice As Nice

We’ll kick it off with this one of the two holding hands in black and white!  So connected.

Twin Baby Sisters

Beautiful.

Twin Baby Sisters

Okay how awesome are they?

We also have some fun behind the scenes from the Facebook Live replay – check it out:

Now for a couple of individual photos:

Twin Baby Sisters

So precious…

And one last one – it’s a tricky photo to get but when you can make it work the results are priceless!

Twin Baby Sisters

And there you have it – twice as nice indeed!  We loved having the girls here and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our morning with them!
