Here we go with the Class of 2019 Spokesmodel Panorama…..RAMA!!! We did this last year and this is just our fun way of stacking these behind the scenes iPhone panoramic photos that Doug took during our spokesmodel sessions. There’s something cool about the way the scope of a panoramic photo can capture and distort a scene in a weird and wonderful way! These are not “professional” photos by any stretch and are not meant to be taken too seriously, but they are a fun way to recap our last few months with our Class of 2019 crew as we head into senior season!
This year’s sessions took us to the usual haunts as well as a new one or two… burned out buildings, majestic theaters, trails and parks, and of course the Frameable Faces studio! We have such an outstanding team representing us this year for the class of 2019 and so in no particular order, here is your panorama…..RAMA!

When we asked our son Tony who is a junior at Bloomfield Hills High School who did he think would be a perfect spokesmodel at his school – a girl who is nice, social, well liked, smart and fun with a little extra online influence perhaps, the first name he spoke was Kaitlyn. He was spot on! This girl is amazing. Sharp, sweet and with an infectious laugh like no one’s business, she is perfect! And her spokesmodel session was perfect too! It wasn’t easy – while the light was great the wind was not. It was windy as all get out down in the D which can pose a challenge for a girl with long hair, and it wasn’t exactly warm either, but Kaitlyn still rocked it and produced some of the images that we know will prove to live on as Frameable iconic photos. So let’s get to it!
Detroit Takeover With Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn’s mom Sara is a delight as well and she came with us down to Detroit where we started off on Belle Isle as we frequently do when we head down there. The first photo we’re sharing here is the best Detroit Skyline photo we’ve taken and all it took was recognizing that we needed a different vantage point than we’ve used in the past! We couldn’t be happier with how this looks…
Gorgeous Girl!
Now we did a livestream on Instagram but were unable to record it – however we think Kaitlyn’s Snapchat story was just as good so this time we’ll start with that for some of our fun behind the scenes…
An outfit change and here we are with another closer up with our girl…
At this point we headed into downtown to the Belt Alley and got this awesome photo with these vibrant colors!
Here we have some more behind the scenes fun with our Facebook Live Video replay from the Belt – as you can see Tony actually came along with us on Kaitlyn’s session and they took a few photos together which will surface soon….. 🙂
At this point we made one more location change, heading over to some of the more ratchet areas of the Eastern Market for a little urban decay which makes for great photos! We’ll leave you with this one…
Love.
And there you have it – a spectacular spokesmodel Detroit takeover with Kaitlyn! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with her and we cannot wait to do it again for her senior pictures soon!!!

Zinging around the woods with Zach on an unseasonably warm late fall day is our idea of a good time! Zach is a fun dude – he’s a buddy of our son Tony too so he passes the test for full approval – haha… We are also actually distant cousins with Zach so we’ve known his mom Liz forever too so we knew this would be a fun day.
Zinging around the woods with Zach
We headed over to the woods behind the West Bloomfield library and found a pathway that we had never taken before, and wow what a cool spot! The forest floor was coated with fall leaves and we got some great stuff, so let’s get to it shall we?
Zach chilling among the tall trees!
We also have some fun behind the scenes action as we usually do. Snapchat is being weird but we have our Facebook Live broadcast which is a lot of fun! Take a look:
And now let’s get to the rest of the highlighted photos:
Just relaxing on a log – we were having a pretty chill time.
And we’ll leave you with one more!
Good stuff – Zach looking good up close and personal!
And there you have it – we zinged around the woods with Zach and got some fantastic shots! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Ben’s senior session in the big D was totally bomb indeed. We are photographing seniors in Detroit more and more these days and Ben is a buddy of both of our kids – it’s kinda cool this year for us with some of our seniors because this is the class in between our 2 and Ben we’ve known for a while so it was a ton of fun. Ben’s mom Erin is great too – she came along and we laughed a lot on this session!
Senior Session In The Big D…
We started on Belle Isle which is pretty typical for us when we head down to Detroit and we’ll pick up the action there with the fountain in the background:
At this point we headed over to The Belt alley to get a few more shots and we have some behind the scenes fun from the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:
…and here is one of the resulting photos:
We then made another stop over by the Eastern Market to one of our favorite empty buildings for a little urban decay vibe (even though Detroit is very much “un-decaying” and coming back strong these days).
Ben – totally Bomb!
We headed back to the studio at this point for a fiery finish to the session – totally bomb! Here’s the fun behind the scenes action from the YouTube Live replay:
And the killer result!
Bad dude right there….
And there you have it – Ben’s session was totally bomb indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Oh Olivia we love ya!!! We have loved this senior pretty much since we met her – she’s cool, smart, athletic, nice, pretty on the inside and out – the whole package! You may remember that she kicked off the spokesmodel sessions for the class of 2018 with some shots that have already solidified themselves as iconic shots in Frameable Faces lore!
Oh Olivia!
So needless to say we were excited to get her in front of Ally’s camera again this time outside in a gorgeous setting and the results are stunning as we knew they would be! Since we were exclusively in the studio the first time around we went totally on location this time joined by Olivia’s awesome mom Liz, and……wow!
Love it – the blue shirt and the blue eyes!
We also have some fun behind the scenes for you – first from the replay of our live broadcast from Facebook Live:
At this point we focused on some of the pretty colors we found – plenty of purple, green and yellow goldenrod like this one:
Love that – and that lighting is perfect! Olivia looks amazing.
We also have more behind the scenes from our replay of our YouTube Live broadcast – such a cool spot on the bridge…
And the sublime result…
What a session… and we’ll leave you with this one last photo:
Amazing!!! Oh Olivia we love ya for sure!!! And we hope you all enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

As promised we present Part 2 of yesterday’s Twin Senior highlights!!! Yesterday the focus was on Hallie, and today it’s Shoshie FO SHO!!! Haha! Loving the results from the day we spent with these two and their mom Caryn – we laughed a lot that day and the girls were rock stars!
Shoshie Fo Sho!
The focus for both girls was the summer style portraits on location in a natural setting so today will be more of the same awesomeness, and we’ll start with this one on the edge of the Quarton Lake dock in Birmingham:
She looks great! A little backlight and great conditions that day too!
The next pose shows a playful side of Shoshie – much fun!
Love it!
We also have the behind the scenes live stream from Facebook for you – the YouTube Live broadcast is in Hallie’s post.
With twins we have plenty of time to roam around and hit different spots and here’s one of Shoshie in the stream…
Love her reflection in the water too!
One more of Shoshie close up….
So pretty – and one of the girls together in the water….!
So adorable!!!
So there you have it! Twin seniors, twin blog posts, twin highlights – double the fun, and we hoped you enjoyed the photos!

Twin seniors are a delight to photograph for lots of reasons. One example off the top is for starters there is usually no problem with getting comfortable being in front of the camera because they have each other to laugh with and take the edge off. Now to be clear it’s not that there’s usually a problem with that – we have a consultation ahead of time to meet our seniors, get to know them, and design the session around them and their style, but with twins there’s that added connection between them which usually makes for much fun. Now, throw in the fact that we already know Hallie and Shoshie (they are friends of our Lacey) and that they’re smart, hilarious and adorable and we’ve got a winner of a day! We’ll call this part 1 and focus on Hallie first, and then we’ll give Shoshie her own blog post – in alphabetical order (plus Hallie is older) – ha! But we’ll be sure to sneak in a twin shot too…
Hello To Hallie
We focused exclusively on location for the girls in Birmingham, and their mom Caryn came along. We had lots of laughs, good conditions outside and the girls did a fine job! Let’s take a look at Hallie who was game to jump right in if you see what I mean… lol!
Love the in-the-water shot!
Next we have this fantastic close up:
One nice aspect of summer sessions at Quarton Lake is that there’s plenty of wild flowers to be found and they make for a gorgeous shot like this one of Hallie:
Beautiful!!!
We also have some fun behind the scenes from our live broadcasts – we’ll show one of those here from YouTube Live and you’ll just have to check back for Shoshie’s highlights to see the video from Facebook Live (although it’s not hard to scroll and find on our page).
And we’ll leave you with one more of Hallie…..
….and one of the twins together!
So there you have it! An awesome day with these girls and Hallie rocked her photos! So did Shoshie – stay tuned…..!

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!

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!

Not that he would be anyway for any reason, but no – Joseph is no joke! The guy called and scheduled his senior session himself – he came in earlier in the school year to do his yearbook headshot just under the deadline and we planned out the rest together. So right off the bat he showed some responsibility that not all high school seniors display. Plus he’s just a soft spoken but plenty cool and confident dude and we enjoyed hanging out with him a lot.
Calm, Cool & Confident – no joke…
We started out in the studio and went with the blue / grey background which we really like. Here’s an up close and personal shot of our guy in a snappy casual look:
Now just because Joseph handled the plans for this session doesn’t mean that his mom Eleanor wasn’t involved – she came on the session and she got into a couple shots! She’s a sweetheart and here’s a nice one of senior and mom together!
How cute are they?
Okay now it was time to head outside for some location photos at Heritage Park in Farmington Hills, and we did a little behind the scenes on Facebook Live while we were there…
It was a little chilly but the lighting was fine and we got a couple of great photos… First on the rocks – and we’re digging the pink shirt!
We’ll leave you with one more against the picket fence – you can see the confidence with this young man!
And there you have it – Joseph is certainly no joke and we were glad to have him at our studio! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him and Eleanor!

When we say we’re kicking off our class of 2018 spokesmodels we actually mean we’re kicking it off! With a kicker – a female kicker! We are thrilled to have Olivia representing our studio and this is always an exciting time for us as we start to look towards the upcoming senior class which we’ll start photographing in earnest this summer. Some our favorite people of all time and very close friends started out as spokesmodels going all the way back to the graduating class of 2009 and we’ve already become fast friends with Olivia and her mom Liz. But first let’s back up a bit to the fall of 2015 in the bleachers of Bloomfield Hills High School…
“Check It Out! How Cool Is That?”
Our son Tony plays football at BHHS and when he first went out for the team as a freshman we were at one of his games sitting in the bleachers. The freshman team was down on the field and they play before the JV so the JV came up into the bleachers to wait and watch until their turn came. Ally being a nervous mom saw the size of some of the sophomores walking past and then….Olivia comes walking by in her pads and Ally and I said to each other “Check it out! How cute is she? And how COOL is that?” There were no girls on the football team to speak of back in our day. You see it more now but it’s still not that common and we think you need to be a pretty cool girl to be able to hang on a team of guys, and be a kicker where all eyes are on you every time you take the field to begin with!
Needless to say our wheels started turning back then as they often do when we’re on the lookout for spokesmodels. So flash forward to the varsity banquet at the end of Tony’s JV season a couple months ago and there is Olivia looking stunning, so we texted a couple people during dinner to ask about Olivia and we were given the thumbs up. Ally makes a break for it. So creepy right? Like, “we’ve had our eye on you for years and we want you to be a spokesmodel for our studio”!!! Haha! But we still had to see if she was actually interested, meet her and her mom at the studio and make sure it was a fit for everyone. So sure enough Olivia called and said she would be interested and when she and Liz arrived we fell in love with them immediately. Such sweethearts both of them!!!
Kicking Off With Olivia…
While we may be kicking off the proceedings we should also mention that Olivia plays lacrosse and she’s nice and she’s smart – she’s the whole package. But before we get to the beast part we started off with the beauty part of the session…. First we’ll share this one on the brown backdrop – we find the brown to be a great option to go with pink – a good color combo for this year.
We actually played around with a few different backdrops and combinations as we usually do with our spokesmodels and you can see some of the behind the scenes fun here… Let’s start with the replay of our Snapchat story from the day which ends with the “squad selfie”! 🙂
Next we have the replay of our live Periscope broadcast – if you aren’t following us on Periscope and want to join in the fun and be a part of our shows download the app and follow us at @frameablefaces, or you can watch from your browser and/or on Twitter too!
Now let’s take a look at some of the photos we did on the black backdrop. First we have this relaxed and fun shot on our black couch – black on black anything looks cool when it’s lit properly and we are looking forward to more of our black couch which is still a relatively new addition here on the black background.
Plenty of Beauty right? Now time for beast…
What’s fun about these next couple of shots is that it was actually hard to get Olivia to keep a straight face, because as much of a bad ass as she is, she’s actually very humble and sweet and she was giggling. Haha!
How awesome is that shot??? The football / lacrosse mashup!
Let’s take another look at some behind the scenes fun with more live video this time from Facebook Live:
And now one more lit photo in beast mode….
AWESOME! What a way to be kicking off the class of 2018 spokesmodel sessions! Much more to come from our new crew which is starting to shape up to be a very strong class! We hope you enjoyed the highlights from our time with Olivia! Stay tuned….
