Saving The Best For Last? Leah Puts The Icing On The Class of 2021 Cake!

There is always the possibility that we could still have another class of 2021 senior come along, but we think this is the final one, and Leah is the perfect senior to put the icing on the proverbial 2021 cake!  She was the first spokesmodel we photographed after we came out of the initial lockdown last year, so it seems fitting that she returns to put an exclamation point on the class!  We’ve known Leah and her family forever and they were actually one of the very early posts on this blog 13 years ago!  We’ve all come a long way lol…

Leah Puts The Icing on the Class of 2021 Cake!

Meanwhile we headed to Birmingham with Leah and her awesome mom Emma on a breezy day to make some more magic:

Leah

We will always love the fire escape pic and Leah rocked it.

We also have some behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Okay so we’re going to SLIGHTLY throw Leah under the bus here:  She was not sold on this pose.  Ally kinda cajoled her a bit we’ll say, and lo and behold – it’s AWESOME.  And Leah LOVES it.  Hehe…

Leah

Right?

Okay next we put Leah in the barrel.  We love this spot and we have some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

Leah

We’ll leave you with one more, and this one is a STUNNER.

Leah

Great one to finish on, and if this is the last photo of the 2021 class we’ll move on with a smile on our face.  This class went through plenty of adversity and from our experience they didn’t let it deter them.  This photo says it all for us.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Leah!

Going Bree – Yond With a Two Part Senior Session Spectacular!

Bree is one of those seniors who is mature beyond her years – this graduating senior from Farmington Central is a girl who knows what she wants and had plenty of ideas for her session which always impresses us!  Her parents are a delight – both Jackie and Trent – they’re very cool and we’ve laughed plenty with them throughout this!  

Bree – Yond Beautiful

Bree wanted two different looks on two different days and she was out in front of the Spring senior rush we get every year so we had the flexibility to do it – and both days were in the studio so let’s start with “straight hair day”!

Bree

Pretty in pink!

Next Bree changed into the grey suit – nice look!

Bree

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook Live:

Day 2

Time for the braids (and Myla the pup)!

Bree

Haha!  We LOVE when seniors bring a pet to the studio.

And here we have a little more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram Live!

It’s Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine For These U of M Grads Of The Class of 2021!

We had an incredible day in Ann Arbor with our Lacey and 15 of her housemates who are all graduating this Spring from the University of Michigan!  We have photographed high school seniors up on campus before but this was a first for us and we have two more groups coming up for sessions just like this one!

Meanwhile these girls and this graduating class as a whole has been through plenty with the pandemic.  Lots of uncertainty, lots of virtual classes, lots of adapting and overcoming, and as you’ll see because it comes through in these photos, they did just that.  They are all proud and resilient Wolverines and we’re especially proud to call our Lacey one of them – especially one of this crew!  This was a real treat for us to spend the day with them capturing them in their caps and gowns and their maize and blue!  A day we’ll never forget, and we have the fun highlights here for you!  GO BLUE!

It’s Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine

We started at the Law Quad which is a very popular spot for obvious reasons – the architecture and the whole look is spectacular.

What a crew!

We took a ton of photos and we also livestreamed a little – here’s some behind the scenes from Facebook Live

One more from the same spot all in the pastel dresses – such a great look!

Michigan Wolverine

We also took individual photos like this one of our Lacey!

We are so proud of her!!!!

Okay at this point we headed over to Michigan Stadium after a change of outfits for a few pics and some fun at the Big House!

Michigan Wolverine

So much fun, and now it was time to break out the champagne and smoke bombs……

Haha!!!🥂

Michigan Wolverine

LOVE.

Next stop – the Student Union and we have a little more behind the scenes this time from Instagram Live!

Wow.  What a journey for us, these girls, and their families!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of such a special day for us!  Leaders and best.  FOREVER GO BLUE!!! 〽️💙💛

Let These Recent Seniors With Family Members Make You Smile!

Through it all – through this challenging school year we still had a fantastic “part 1” of the Class of 2021 senior pictures!  We say “part 1” because there are always a few spring seniors and we figure there may be a few more than usual this year (fingers crossed) because 2020 was……..2020. 

Generally when we post highlights of our sessions we focus on the senior but we do have family add-ons available and sometimes family members – maybe just a sib or a parent or a pet jumps in, so we thought we’d gather a handful of these and give them their own blog post!  Lots of love in these images!!!

Seniors have Frameable Family Members!

No commentary – just family!  We LOVE these peeps!

Family Members Family Members Family Members

And there you have it!  Wonderful families we’ve enjoyed spending time with over the past year!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

A Maddie Takeover in Detroit for Senior Pictures!

We had a Maddie takeover in the D!  You’ve seen Maddie on this blog before as a spokesmodel representing Mercy High School for the senior class of 2021 and her return was epic!  Yes it was a little cold but we literally had downtown Detroit to ourselves early on this particular Saturday morning and we made the most of it! 

Maddie Takeover In The D

We started over by the Fox Theater which is appropriate since Maddie is into theater herself!  Check it out:

Maddie Takeover

Cool huh?  She’s a box office star to be…

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Next we headed over to The Belt which was also empty and got this photo:

Maddie Takeover

Okay she’s adorable.

Next stop: the DIA!

Maddie Takeover

Love it!

We have more behind the scenes too – this time from Instagram:

Andy, Birmingham and Cool Senior Pictures – Easy As ABC!

Andy is a legacy senior in the class of 2021 at West Bloomfield High School – we photographed his sister Jordyn a few years ago and we were looking forward to another hangout with mom Rebecca and the younger sib!  We had plenty of fun and the results are great, if NOT surprising!  Easy as ABC!

Andy, Bham, Cool Pics – easy as ABC

We spent the whole session at Quarton Lake which is actually pretty easy to do – there’s plenty to work with there like the dock for starters…

Easy As ABC

Great photo!

We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook Live:

And here are a couple more pics…

Easy As ABC

Andy’s looking great!

Loving this one in black and white too…

Easy As ABC

Pretty cool…

Here’s the TikTok from the day…

Brady Brings His Best To Birmingham For His Senior Pictures!

We first met Brady in his consultation with his mom Lisa over Zoom and we liked them both right away.  Not sure going into this that senior pictures were the largest object on Brady’s radar, but he’s a great kid, and he was willing to go into it with an open mind.  As it turned out he went beyond that – he definitely had fun, we had fun with him, and the results are fantastic!  So let’s get to it!

Brady Brings His Best

We met on location in Birmingham at Quarton Lake and our conditions were just fine.

Brady

Good looking dude!  We love his hair.

We didn’t spend a ton of time at Quarton Lake because we wanted to focus on city pics so we headed downtown for these next couple and we have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook too:

And here are a couple results:

Brady

This next one we really love:

Brady

Great smile on this guy!

We have a fun TikTok here for you that ends in the studio which we headed back to for a couple more:

@frameablefacesVery cool session with Brady – the trifecta!🙂🏙🍂 ##seniorpictures ##ClassOf2021 ##FrameableFaces ##seniorpics ##MetroDetroit ##photoshoot ##uofdjesuit♬ original sound – Frameable Faces

And we’ll leave you with a studio highlight!

Brady

And there you have it!  Brady brought his best for sure, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

A Smokin’ Senior Picture Session With Taylor – Literally!

Wow.  Let’s just say we’re pretty DARN excited to share these highlights from Taylor’s senior session…. We fell in love with both Taylor and her mom Charese pretty much immediately.  You can just tell when you connect with your people, and we laughed our butts off on this session – we just had a blast and the results, well….you’ll see.  Meanwhile Taylor is a senior at Detroit Country Day and she’s adorable.  Funny, smart, beautiful, artistic, athletic – a quintuple threat, and we actually broke this session up into two days because we had some specialized strategies laid out to capture what we wanted, so let’s get to the highlights!

Smokin’ Session With Taylor

Okay so actually the smokin’ part happened on the second day.  The first day we started in the studio and we’ll start there:

Taylor

So cute!

We also have some behind the scenes – first from Instagram:

At this point we headed outdoors to Birmingham where our favorite little tree was in full Pure Michigan mode!  We only get this tree in the fall for a short window each year so we are always so excited when we do!  Here’s a little more behind the scenes from Facebook and we have to give props to Taylor who was a real trooper because it was quite chilly…

We also got some yellows and oranges – all the Pure Michigan feels!

Taylor

LOVE that one – the sweater was perfection for this photo.

Now for day two.  We headed over to the track at Detroit Country Day where Taylor’s peeps were practicing – cheerleaders, football – she had an audience!  And we had a WARM evening which was great.  We’re obsessed with how these came out with a little off camera flash combined with some incredible natural lighting…

Taylor

Wow right???

Now for the SMOKIN’ part…  and first one more behind the scenes video from Facebook:

And the smoke:

Taylor

Oh yeah…..

And there you have it!  A smokin’ session indeed with this young lady, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Autumn With Arnav (and TAZZ) On An Incredible Day At Mill Race!

Arnav is all grown up – and a fine young man he’s turned out to be!  We’ve known him since he was about 10 and we hadn’t seen him for a while so we were pretty happy to get the call from his dad Ash for senior pictures!  It was a family affair with Ash, mom Shama and PUP TAZZ!!!!!  Tazz got into the act as you’ll see below, and in the meantime let’s get to the highlights with this class of 2021 senior at the International Academy on an incredible scene of Pure Michigan fall colors at Mill Race Historical Village in Northville!

Autumn With Arnav!

Mill Race Village is definitely one of our favorite new spots to photograph now that we have a permit – there’s so much to work with there!

Arnav

That’s a handsome dude right there…

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Arnav

We have pumpkins…. lol!

And check out these Pure Michigan colors!

Arnav

So cool!

At this point we headed back to the studio for a few – we got some great photos of the family together and as we’ve mentioned we plan to publish a separate blog post highlighting some of our seniors with their families where they jumped in this year…  here’s the scene this time from Instagram:

Cool Fall Colors With Chris and a Senior Session Snowboard!

The Pure Michigan Fall Colors have been stunning this season – that isn’t unique per se since they are always nice this time of year, but the colors have lasted a bit longer this year and the senior sessions have been spectacular.  Chris’s session is no exception!  He’s a Class of 2021 Laker from West Bloomfield High School and we got up and at ’em for a Saturday morning in Birmingham before we returned to the studio for a few pics with his snowboard.  Let’s take a look at the highlights!

Cool Colors With Chris and a Snowboard!

We’ll start with the location photos in Birmingham where we met Chris and his lovely mom Louise!

Stunning shot right?  Love the slight profile look…

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook Live:

Here are a couple more:

Nice!!!  Love that Pure Michigan look…

At this point we headed back to the studio to get a few indoors and that’s where Chris broke out the snowboard!  We have a little more behind the scenes from the studio on Instagram:
