Jeremy & Chella…..and One On The Way!

by
No Comments
This is starting to happen more and more but it will NEVER get “old.”  We’re talking about former seniors having babies!!!  Jeremy has always been one of our favorites and it’s no surprise that now his wifey Chella is too.  They are a joy to be around and they are expecting – so we were honored to photograph their maternity session here at the studio and had a blast doing it.  We’re thrilled to bring you the highlights!
 

(Soon to not only be) Jeremy & Chella

Chella
Chella looks so radiant!  Ally thinks it’s a boy because Chella looks so beautiful (a girl would “steal” the beauty” lol)!
 
Time for Jeremy to jump in…
 
Chella
So much love!
 
And now for a smile from the happy parents-to-be:
 
Chella
Awesome.
 
And we’ll leave you with this silhouette:
 
Chella
 
These two will be amazing parents and we can’t wait to meet the baby!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with them!

So here we go with Part 2 of the Trina and Trisha show!  Lol – we posted cousin Trina’s highlights yesterday and now it’s Trisha’s turn in the senior spotlight!  A chilly morning in Detroit ended in the studio and we have awesome photos from each.  Trisha is a class of 2023 senior from Cass Tech and she’s totally adorable – we had a great time with these girls so let’s get to more of the highlights!

Class Of 2023 Senior Petrina Perfects the Senior Picture Thing!

by
No Comments

We were so happy when Petrina called us for senior pictures – she was here once before for a photo session with a crew of friends for Elona’s sweet 16 pics and she is a total sweetheart!  Not to mention she brought her cuz Patricia with her for a double senior session (Patricia was also at that first shoot) so we got to have double the fun – the Trina and Tricia Technicians show – as in Cass Tech Technicians!  More on that in the next post…  For now we focus on Petrina and her amazing pics, so let’s do this.

Petrina Perfects The Senior Picture Thing!

We have to give Petrina her props because it was cold.  Like really cold, and you would never know it – she was a total pro!  Let’s start at the DIA:

Petrina

And how about one of the cousins together…

BEAUTIES!!!

We have a little behind the scenes fun in a TikTok of some highlights too!

@frameablefaces Petrina perfects the #seniorpictures thing! 🥰🎓🏙️ #FrameableFaces #SeniorYear #ClassOf2023 #Photoshoot #photography #Photographer #MetroDetroit #Detroit ♬ original sound – Frameable Faces

Jillian’s session of senior pictures was definitely a journey – we hit a few secluded spots and made some real magic in Detroit on a day we won’t soon forget with this West Bloomfield class of 2023 senior and her mom Frances!  We had so much fun and we’ve been looking forward to sharing these highlights so let’s get to it!

Sara is a star indeed – very comfortable in front of the camera and we’re big fans!  She just oozes charisma, and she’s nice, smart – all the things!  Okay we’re gushing but it is what it is, and she’s a North Farmington Raider to boot just like us!  We went to Detroit with Sara for some spokesmodel pics as she is representing our studio for the class of 2023 and the results are epic.  Let’s get to the highlights!

Sara is a star

Our first stop….well, we may keep where the first stop was to ourselves hehe….

Next we have a couple from Belle Isle – love this one…

Violet Brings The Violet Style To Detroit As Only They Can!

by
No Comments

Violet came to the studio with their mom Polly and we didn’t know what we were in for – Violet had very strong ideas about what they envisioned for their senior pictures – a goth approach to the makeup and a very specific look.  So when Violet showed up the day of the session we were stunned at how cool their look actually was, and much credit goes to Yasmine at Mandy Rose for the makeup – as a matter of fact she posted a little video of Violet’s face before they left to come to the studio…

Reaching An Even Higher Level With Lauren Back In Detroit!

by
No Comments

Yes we are huge fans of Lauren and her mom Gabrielle, and it’s been so much fun having Lauren represent our studio as a spokesmodel for the class of 2018!  Her spokesmodel session was truly epic and we spent much of it in Detroit at the old Michigan Building and around Eastern Market.  It was one of those sessions that sticks out for sure – just awesome.  So we had a slight dilemma – we loved exploring around Detroit and they wanted to go back for Lauren’s senior session.  Hey we’re always up for a Detroit session since there is so much going on down there and so many amazing places to shoot.  The question was could we possibly top what we already did down there?  Hmmmmm….  Could we reach an even higher level with Lauren?

Reaching an even higher level with Lauren…

Ally predicted that we would indeed be able to kick it up yet another notch.  And frankly I was confident too – we usually do.  We suggested Belle Isle which hadn’t been on Lauren’s radar but she trusted us.  Besides there was a little discussion around whether a beach shot might be nice – we had never used the Belle Isle Beach.  So we set out with plenty of possibility and adventure in the air and the results?  Well…… see for yourself.

Higher Level

Great one to start with right?  Love the framing of our girl with the vines!

We also have plenty of behind the scenes fun as usual with some live broadcast replays (excuse my raggedy voice – I was recovering from being pretty well under the weather for a few days).  First we went live on YouTube.  If you want to tune in to other broadcasts be sure to hit the red subscribe button at our channel!

We ended up spending a ton of time on Belle Isle – some shots at the fountain, a few at the willow tree above, and a few over by the conservatory including this colorful one with all the pretty flowers surrounding Lauren!

Higher Level

I also had a little fun of my own with the pano feature on my iPhone – just for fun here is one at the conservatory that I thought was kind of cool…

Higher Level

AMATEUR iPhone panoramic photo for fun!

Next we headed around to the other side of the island to the beach which we pretty much had to ourselves and this turned out to be a great call!  Here is the fun behind the scenes Facebook Live broadcast replay where Gabrielle even took over for a few minutes as guest host as I struggled a little with the wind trying to reflect some light on our subject!

And here is one of the fantastic results.  LOVE this of Lauren…

Higher Level

So yeah…. awesome stuff at Belle Isle!  But we weren’t done….

To The Belt!

The Belt is a very cool alley in downtown Detroit where we’ve taken photos several times and Lauren had her eye on it so we headed over there for a few and we found this ultra cool art gallery there.  They let us come right in and shoot, and sometimes these unplanned things prove to be major highlights!  I took another pano while Ally was setting this one up…

Higher Level

Another AMATEUR iPhone panoramic photo for fun!

And here is the result!!!

Higher Level

Wow right???

What a day – we actually finished it up with lunch at Johnny Noodle King and it was the perfect end to a day we won’t soon forget as we indeed reached a higher level with Lauren in our Detroit return!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

Wow – Jeralyn Is ONE, And What A Year It’s Been Photographing Her!

by
No Comments

Boy does a year go by fast…  this story is one of the more epic tales in Frameable Faces lore to be sure and we continue to tell it here.  It started with an “emergency” maternity session phone call from Nick and Jen that you can read about here.  Another photography studio’s mistake became the start of a friendship for us and some memorable moments with Jeralyn (who was once known lovingly in the Frameable Faces community as the “sharting baby” because of a hilarious little poop mishap during her newborn session that you can see and read about here)!  Now Jeralyn is ONE and she returned to the studio for an adorable photo session from which we want to share a few images with you!

Jeralyn Is ONE!

So we have some great stuff to show you here.  We love doing “baby plans” where our peeps come in for maternity, newborn, 6 month, and one year photos because we get to be a part of such a wonderful and exciting year, and then at the end we get to put together some stages – like a “watch me grow” storyboard!  Like this:

Jeralyn Is ONE

Newborn, 6 months, and one year!!!

So much fun – perfectly displayed on a wall printed to 10″ x 30″ in a frame!

As for the rest of the one year session here are some of the other highlights…

Jeralyn Is ONE

How beautiful is she?  Loving the hair…  🙂

Jeralyn also likes blocks.  Who doesn’t like blocks?

Jeralyn Is ONE

Actually props in general are fun…

Jeralyn Is ONE

We also have some fun behind the scenes (of course)…  let’s start with the replay from Facebook Live:

At this point we broke out the sari that we used for all three sessions as you saw above in the storyboard – so pretty as the backdrop for this adorable close up!

Jeralyn Is ONE

LOVE the thumb…

What’s great about our Periscope replay is often when people say you should photograph the parents being silly trying to get the kids to smile……well we got Jen at the beginning of this broadcast.  Haha!  If you want to join in the fun on Periscope download the app and follow us at @FrameableFaces here or if you just want to check it out from Twitter you can do that here.

The last thing we’ll leave you with you could say is the coup de grâce from this session…

Jeralyn Is ONE

Just all around cuteness with the one year expressions!  So yes Jeralyn is ONE and it really has been a delightful year photographing her!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights!!!

Cami Was CAMI-RA Ready In An Epic Senior Session in Detroit!

by
No Comments

Cami was certainly “CAMI-RA ready” for her senior session takeover of Detroit!  We’re very punny here at Frameable Faces.  This was an epic session not like any before it and you’ll see why in a bit.  Meanwhile let’s talk about Cami.  We’ve known this girl for a long time and we actually photographed her brother Kyle for his senior pictures, but our relationship with Cami goes way back before that when a party favor from a Cami birthday party in the form of a music CD mix became the standard in the Cohen mini van for a good chunk of our kids childhoods!  The “Cami Disc” was awesome!  We still talk about it from over a decade ago…  We’ve known Cami since she was 3 and she and our Lacey were in dance class together at Studio A the year it opened, so this girl has always had a special place in our hearts.  She’s got it together too – she plans to be a nurse!  We really had an amazing day with her and her mom Bonnie!  

Cami was CAMI-RA Ready…

We started in the studio for a couple of quick photos with the plan to spend the majority of our time downtown.  Here’s one on the black background before we head out on location…

Cami

Definitely Cami-Ra ready!  She looks fantastic!  

Of course we have plenty of behind the scenes fun and here is the replay of the first Facebook Live broadcast from the studio!

Heading to Detroit!

At this point we packed up and headed downtown for what was supposed to be a trip to Belle Isle and then maybe Eastern Market for some murals and whatever else we might find… well that didn’t happen.  Okay well Belle Isle happened – and we love this red bridge there!

Cami

Beautiful!  The lighting was great even if it was a little chilly…

Meanwhile there would be no Eastern Market for us on this day…  Instead Ally had seen one of our clients post a few pics of an old theater downtown that is now a parking garage – the Michigan Building.  It’s like a post-apocalyptic scene in there and Ally thought this would be a cool spot – Cami was sold immediately so we went down there, and WOW.  Ally’s jaw hit the floor when we walked in – so cool!

Here’s the behind the scenes broadcast from Periscope.  You can follow us there at @FrameableFaces at this link or see our broadcasts on Twitter here! 

Here’s one of our results from the theater…

Cami

The first shot of its kind for us but certainly not the last…  

We were enamored enough with the place that we broadcasted once more on Facebook Live where you’ll see how we improvised with our minivan headlights (shout out to Bonnie for working the lighting from the cockpit lol) as we started to lose some light and the last shot we’ll leave you with came out really cool…

And here is one of the photos from that setup:

Cami

Love it!!!  Yes Cami was Cami-ra ready and we were ready to make some magic which we did on her pioneering session!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day, and we’ll leave you with the Snapchat story from the day complete with the squad selfie at the end!
