When you Google the meaning of a Ruby the first thing you see is that it’s a “high energy stone” which makes sense for this Ruby because she is comfortable on a stage. And we’re comfortable with this Ruby because for starters she’s a legacy Frameable senior here – we met her a couple years ago when her sister Zoe was here. Besides, she’s got that hint of snark that we love, and we had fun with her on her senior session as we officially kicked off the new class of 2018 sessions!
Rolling With Ruby…
We rolled down to Heritage Park with Ruby on a very muggy and warm day – but it was dry which was all that mattered since there was a brief downpour overhead at the studio right before we headed out. Ruby’s mom Elyse joined us as well and we love her too – actually you’ll see her doing a little “guest hosting” of the behind the scenes livestreams a bit further down this post – a reprise since she did that two years ago too! So now let’s focus on Ruby who looked great and did a fantastic job for these photos!
Love that photo! Great one to start with…
As mentioned we also have plenty of behind the scenes fun – starting with a YouTube Live broadcast getting ready to shoot at Heritage Park… You can SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel here!
Here is one more in the black dress close up – LOVE:
Just gorgeous…
We went with a couple outfit changes on location and we have more behind the scenes for you this time from Facebook Live:
Let’s take a look at one more by the barn door (Ruby’s choice on location) before we head back to the studio for a studio shot…
Fabulous!
At this point we were happy to get in the car, blast some A/C and get back to the studio where we got a few shots on the black background like this one here:
And there you have it! The Class of 2018 is officially underway! Ruby led us off in style and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

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!

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!

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!

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….
