Those of you who know us here know that we wouldn’t “Josh ya” – right? Okay well maybe we would and actually that’s what we’re doing in this post right now! We bring to you….Josh! We have known Josh for a long time and he and our daughter Lacey have been friends for years. We also photographed his older brother Matt for his senior portraits so a little reprise with their mom Gayle was in order and we had a lot of fun and laughs as expected!

Time To Josh Ya…

We had a game plan to do some photos in studio and some on location so let’s start in the studio with the formal look on the grey backdrop!

Now that’s a fine looking dude.

We also have plenty of behind the scenes live video for you on replay! Here is the first of a couple Periscopes we did – this one in the studio. If you don’t have Periscope and you want to join our shows and participate you can download the app and follow us at @FrameableFaces here and if you have twitter and just want to watch from there you can do that too.

Josh is a hockey player too so he changed into his Little Caesars jersey for this next one:

Nice!

At this point it was time to head out to Heritage Park for some location shots and some more live video! First again with Periscope.

Here’s one of the location photos which came out quite nicely – Josh was a breeze to work with!

One more live video this time from Facebook for some more behind the scenes:

And one final photo up close with our man of the hour…

Sweet! So there you have it! We decided to Josh Ya and we don’t feel bad about it one bit. We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Haven Is A Fashion Maven Which She Proved On Her Senior Session!

September 28, 2016

by Doug Cohen

No Comments

Haven is indeed a fashion maven and she proved it on her senior session. Let me explain:

Some posts just write themselves…. We’ve had awesome style and fashion from our seniors this year and with Haven we were not surprised – she has represented our studio for the class of 2017 as a spokesmodel (just like her sister Jubilee did) and we love this girl! I thought it might be fun to rhyme Haven with maven and when I punched it into a Google search “fashion mavens” showed up right in the definition. Done deal!

Haven Is A Fashion Maven…

So we started this session with the always fashionable cheer uniform – ha, and I don’t mean that sarcastically at all. Haven actually had some great stuff in store for the location part of the shoot, but as for the studio we love us some purple, black and silver when it comes to those Bloomfield Hills Blackhawks!!! Whoo hooo!!!

And while we’re here in the studio here is the replay of our live Periscope behind the scenes broadcast! If you want to follow us from your smartphone and be a part of the shows in the live chat you can do that here, or if you just want to watch from twitter you can do that here.

Next we’ll head out on location and check out this next photo – Ally was particularly impressed with the accessorizing, the boots, the whole thing!

We have another fun Periscope broadcast from the location too – here ya go…

Here’s where we found out how strong Haven’s hashtag game is…haha – well, we’ll just let the picture tell the story….

How great is that top? Haven walked out with the #slay on and we knew she meant business! Love it!

Here’s the Facebook Live broadcast from that moment!

We’ll leave you with one more fabulous photo from the day…

Spectacular! We had such a great day with Haven our fashion maven and we hope you enjoyed the highlights from our day with her!

Transformation Tuesday Senior Session Post Starring Ian!

September 27, 2016

by Doug Cohen

No Comments

So this isn’t exactly the traditional Transformation Tuesday type of thing you might be used to when you see a Transformation Tuesday. But it happens to be Tuesday as I’m writing this, and we saw our own transformation starring Ian, so I’m going with it. The fact of the matter is when Ian came in for his consultation he seemed relatively shy and quiet. Granted he didn’t know us and might not have been completely sure of what he was getting into with senior pictures, so it’s totally understandable. But when we tell you that the guy who showed up for the photo shoot didn’t seem like the same dude we’re not kidding. A self assured ready-to-roll stud showed up that day and he kicked ass. Sorry (not sorry) for the pseudo profanity but that’s the only way to accurately describe it.

Starring Ian…

So let’s get to the photos which include some studio work as well as some on location – studio first.

So, not to be cheesy but seriously – you can see it in his eyes. Confidence.

And now how about a little behind the scenes fun? First with our little 6 second vine overview…

@ianm1229 did a fantastic job on his senior session!Loved it! #DetroitSeniors https://t.co/QUqXn5z9as

And here we have the replay of our live Periscope broadcast from the studio. If you aren’t following us on Periscope and would like to tune in and be a part of the show in the live chat you can do it here, and if you just want to watch from twitter you can do that here!

And here’s another studio photo for you this time in black and white…

Heading Out…

At this point we headed out to our location portion of the session and we dodged a couple raindrops but it was all good. We’ll start with this cool photo on the West Bloomfield trail network:

Ian is rockin’ it as you can see…

We also have another Periscope replay from on location:

And we’ll finish with one more close up photo of our guy:

So there it is – you didn’t see the “transformation” part but we did and it was really cool. We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day starring Ian!

Jake Was The Symbol And The Superhero Of This Senior Session!

September 24, 2016

When Jake came in for his senior consultation with his mom Jen we proceeded to have a fun and healthy debate about superheroes. Now actually I’m not really a superhero guy and I quickly found out that I was pretty overmatched, but I think I hung in there…..kinda. In any event Jake is clearly inspired as millions are by superheroes – Batman and Iron Man in particular. So I went searching around and found this awesome quote from Batman Begins:

I think this quote is appropriate for this photo session for a couple of reasons… For starters I think this whole idea applies to photographs in general. Photos can preserve a moment, a person – they can be everlasting. That’s part of the appeal of what we do here whether we’re making new photos or restoring old ones. Senior pictures capture such a cool time in a young guy like Jake’s life! So hold on to that thought for a minute and we’ll come back to it…

Jake The Superhero!

Let’s start with the Batman inspiration in the studio for our first sneak peak…

Awesome.

Here’s the behind the scenes vine from the day….

#Batman was in da house! @FishkindJake pulled off the cool #silhouette too! https://t.co/auJAlbKpzg

— Frameable Faces (@FrameableFaces) September 9, 2016

We also did plenty of broadcasting that day on Periscope and Facebook Live. Okay maybe we went a little crazy – I’ve actually done a collab with Jake’s mom Jen who is also known as Princess Pinky Girl online so she’s a natural on camera as was Jake! Much fun! If you haven’t downloaded Periscope yet you can do it and be a part of our broadcasts here or you can just watch on twitter here.

First in the studio:

Next it’s the first of our location broadcasts at Heritage Park:

And here is one of our shots of this fine young lad in the great outdoors…

Let’s see a little more of our behind the scenes from Facebook Live – we actually spent a lot of time cracking up on this session… Jake is a funny dude.

And here we have a shot of Jake chillin’…

Lastly I want to bring it back to that Batman quote from earlier. Here’s where it ties it all together….

Bruce Wayne said as a symbol he could be incorruptible. He could be everlasting. That’s what we achieved with Jake on this last photo which was a first for us, and an idea that Jen brought in. It’s a silhouette that captures the spirit of being a senior – with your life ahead of you. Incorruptible. Everlasting. Arms up to the sky! This photo could be anyone. You can’t necessarily tell it’s Jake, and yet it IS Jake. A symbol – and a powerful one at that….

So cool….

Here’s the behind the scenes of us creating that photo!

And that’s the story! Jake was the symbol and the superhero and we will always remember this session! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

The Doug and Ally Morning Show on Periscope!

June 18, 2016

by Doug Cohen

4 Comments

Hey Now!

That’s usually how we start our morning show with those Larry Sanders Show / Howard Stern inspired words, and off we go….

The Doug and Ally Morning Show!

We have been broadcasting live on Periscope since April 2015 and somewhere along the way the “Doug&Ally Morning Show” became a thing. It wasn’t planned. It was early on an October morning, we weren’t doing much here at the studio and we thought it would be interesting to jump on Periscope and see who was up! We don’t officially open until 10:00 AM anyway. Turns out a lot of people were happy to see us on and someone made the comment that it’s like a morning show… We thought that sounded fun so we kept doing it and here we are 8 months later going strong with the morning show “officially” Tuesday through Fridays from sometime around 8:45 or 9ish until 10 or 10:30ish. It starts when it starts and it ends when it ends….

A Life Of Its Own…

Meanwhile many things have happened along the way that have become regular occurrences / features on the show… One of the most well known guests is an amazing caricaturist from the UK named Rich Nairn (@RichNairn on twitter and Periscope) who has been known to join the show and tweet doodles based on what’s happening. He sketches them in black and white but he made a color one which has become the official artwork for the show and will be available on T-Shirts (and maybe coffee mugs) very soon!

The phrase “You shut up, you shut up, and you shut up” has been an inside joke in Ally’s family which originated with her dad and it has become a common phrase on the show… haha! Notice the Periscope hearts going up the side to the right! Here are a couple more of his from the show….

One morning we were discussing some pretty chaotic events at home in the hours before we came to work. Ally woke up in the middle of the night with a spider crawling on her face, and I stepped in cat poop that one of the cats brought up from the basement litter box as a “trailer”…. Next thing we know Rich is commenting “tweet tweet” which usually means he’s posted a doodle and……

Here’s one more that we’ve featured before on the blog but it’s worth repeating. We had a photo session with a newborn baby and at one point during the session we wanted to get some naked baby photos which are precious…..when the following happened – watch the following vine:

Holy CRAP this was an awesome baby session!!! ‍‍❤️ https://t.co/rLREc3Bg73

— Frameable Faces (@FrameableFaces) May 4, 2016

So we were talking about this session and then Rich tweeted….

He really is amazing – he cranks these out in minutes…. Check out his fantastic work at his website The Artful Doodler!

Fun With The Feed!

I noticed that the thumbnails that show up in the Periscope news feed are sometimes amusing because they capture candid expressions of the person broadcasting and they refresh every few seconds, and so “Fun With The Feed” was born – with it’s own logo, jingle and everything! No one knows when one of these might happen (nor do they know if they’ll be the next victim…).

Here are a couple of our favorites…

@Amrit Singh has an awesome beard so we thought we’d help him show off all angles of it. Meanwhile the guy is awesome and has been doing some amazing humanitarian work in the UK helping with the refugee crisis. We met him in San Francisco in January at the Periscope Community Summit (now called Summit Live).

We also got our friend @Jaxsology with some awesome expressions – she is a really talented singer and a total comedian – one of our favorite scopers to be sure…

Ally and I do our cheesy intro ONCE per show followed by a tour of the studio where we talk about what we do and one of our Peri-friends Nelma – @BeachBabyC actually called in and narrated the tour on speaker phone one morning! Nelma has dubbed our living room “The Parlor” which is a great name for our little meeting area with our clients! We have call-ins to the show every now and then including a certain ridiculous telemarketing company who calls ALL THE TIME to try to give us great insurance rates on our 2013 Acura… Um, we’ve never had an Acura. After asking them a dozen times to be placed on their do not call list we decided to turn the tables… Take a look:

Many of our friends have their own special entrance when they show up on the show including Erick “@making_money23” Gary – all hell breaks loose when he shows up. There is no real rhyme or reason to who gets an intro or why – they just kinda happen…

So join us! There are plenty of features like “the coffee test” and spontaneous shenanigans that happen on the show and you can be a part of it just by tuning in and commenting! We have a ton of fun and we love our international community who joins us literally from all corners of the world (Russia, Malaysia, Israel, UAE, Brazil, Serbia, Japan, Australia, UK, Spain, France, Morocco, Venezuela, Turkey, India, Pakistan, Ukraine, Germany, The Netherlands, Nigeria, just to name some) every Tuesday through Friday morning (and sometimes Saturday) for the Doug&Ally Morning Show!!!
