Paige is turning the page – from high school to college out in Boulder as a Colorado Buffalo and what’s crazy about that is that makes TWO of our spokesmodels for the class of 2019 who are attending Colorado in the fall, as Kaitlyn is as well! Hmmm…. Ally and I may have to include Boulder on a new Frameable Faces campus tour to visit these awesome young ladies! Ha! But I digress….
The point here is that we’ve loved our time with Paige and her mom Maxine – we had a great spokesmodel session a year ago now, and we picked up right where we left off this time around.
Paige Turns The Page
We started on location at Quarton Lake in the morning while the sun was low although we had a little cloud cover which can always work to your advantage as well:
Stunner!!!
This was a hard session to narrow down the results from – it was pretty perfect… we did have some fun with the behind the scenes as usual – first with Facebook Live:
And here’s a couple more from outside…
Pretty Paige In Pink!
And one more just flat-out gorgeous photo…
At this time we headed back to the studio to close it out with a few on the white background and we have a little more fun behind the scenes this time from Instagram:
And one of the results:
Paige looks confident, in control and well – ready to turn the page!!! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our session with her!

I tweeted today that if survive, survival, and thrive are all words then so should thrival be one. Emma was forced into pure survival when she was diagnosed with cancer, but these days since she beat it we would say she’s into THRIVAL. What an inspiration she is! She’s been our friend for years, and her family has all appeared on this blog before. But this time was a little different…
Dropping a Boudoir Bombshell…
We’ve been doing more boudoir lately as you may have seen and in this case Fox 2 Detroit was coming to the studio to do a feature on it. We had a live model ready but she had to cancel so Ally was in a bind and she called Emma, basically telling her she needed her to get ready and come to the studio to pose for sexy photos on television!!! Emma is a beauty and she was game – maybe because she didn’t have a ton of time to think about it!
But what ensued was more than we all bargained for. Ally frankly didn’t give a ton of thought to the fact that Emma was a survivor when she called her. It wasn’t about that at all, and yet when Emma got in front of Ally’s camera and slayed, it became a really empowering and flat out awesome moment. To hear Emma tell us how this put some of her story into perspective to see herself this way after having gone through such intense sickness when she didn’t look “healthy or sexy”. It was a powerful moment for everyone at the studio including the crew from Fox 2. Boudoir takes the story in directions you don’t expect sometimes and the results here are…..well, WOW.
Emma Inspires
Now keep in mind this isn’t a typical boudoir session since we did it here in the studio which can be a little….limiting. But we have some highlights to share on the black background and they still sizzle:
Gotta love a girl in a guy’s dress shirt and not a whole lot else…. 😉

Let’s bring on Blake!!! Blake is our newest spokesmodel for the class of 2020 representing the Birmingham Groves Falcons! We actually met Blake and his mom Ellory officially together for the first time on a face time call and we laughed a lot even with Blake being a little under the weather at the time so we knew this would work. We are running close to the end of the junior year so we were happy to luck out and get great weather to get a session in with some location photos at the Franklin Cider Mill, but we also started with some photos in the studio so we’ll begin with those:
Bring On Blake…
We kept these simple on the black backdrop and we’ll show one in color here….
….and one in black and white!
Blake was a piece of cake to photograph – Ally commented that he’s a natural – a photogenic dude!
We also have some fun behind the scenes action first from Facebook Live:
At this point we headed over to the Franklin Cider Mill which is actually a great place for pictures when it’s off season – such a classic place and they were very happy to let us take photos there when we asked them permission a few years back. It’s very typical for our seniors to do a combination of studio and on location images…
Love this shot…
We have another behind the scenes vid – this time with the raw feed from our Instagram livestream:
And we’ll leave you with this one at the tree that we really like:
And there you have it – Blake BROUGHT it!!! Good kid – we’re happy to have him and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

What is sexy? Well lots of things… confidence, beauty – inner and outer beauty that is, attitude, looks, smarts – all of these things can be sexy no doubt.
What about pregnancy?
YES. SOOOOO sexy!!!!!!
A beautiful woman carrying a child – a nuturer, a protector with that bump is absolutely sexy and a boudoir photo session is a perfect way to capture that. Lindsay owned it in front of Ally’s camera and we are thrilled to share the results! Boudoir sessions can be done a number of ways – in the intimate setting of someone’s home, here in the studio depending on how far we go (think nudity), or even outdoors in nature! Obviously we don’t publish photos from all of our boudoir sessions, but with Lindsay’s permission we have some photos at her home and outdoors and we’ll highlight a couple of each here!
First we’ll start in the bedroom:
Allure of Anticipation with Lindsay…
BEAUTIFUL!
She looks incredible…
And let’s take a look at a couple outdoors:
If you’re thinking about boudoir remember these photos are for you first and foremost, but they’re obviously fun for your partner too! They’re sure to spice things up. 🙂
Lindsay looks fantastic and thanks to her for letting us show off these fabulously spicy photos! The allure of anticipation indeed!

Dehko is on the rise and they were here in the studio for some updated headshots… If you like techno you need to get on these local DJ brothers Sam and Jordan who really bring it! Just having them here was hype enough – we had a blast with these guys!
Dehko Drops The Beats

Now let’s check out a few highlights from the photos! First the dynamic duo on the black:
Looking good…
We also have some fun behind the scenes action from the shoot – first from Facebook Live:

Adin is a really good kid – we enjoyed hanging with him a lot on our spokesmodel session for him as he represents the class of 2020 for Frameable Faces at Frankel Jewish Academy! Easygoing, personable and really smart, we are really happy to have him on our crew! We photographed him in the studio as well as on location which is pretty typical for our seniors and we have a few highlights for you, so let’s get to ’em!
Taking Aim At Adin
We started off in the studio with a somewhat dressy look on the black background and these came out quite nicely:
Good lookin’ dude!
We also have some behind the scenes fun first from the studio from the Instagram livestream we did:
At this point we headed outside to get some location photos… first on the steps:
And we have more behind the scenes from that set up on Facebook Live – take a look!
And we’ll leave you with a couple more outdoor photos of our guy!
You just know a genuine smile when you see one – this kid has it and we also like that pop of color in the background!
And one more…
Love that wood background – textures are a lot of fun to work with!
So there you have it! We took aim at Adin indeed and we’re looking forward to his return for his senior session along with the rest of the class of 2020 which is starting SOON! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

Miss Cheryl is one of our faves and she’s known by that name to many in the community from nursery school days when she taught so many children including ours! So when Cheryl called to say she wanted to bring her crew in we were so excited! Everybody did a great job and we were able to capture some fantastic photos – memories that will last them a lifetime!
We kept this pretty simple with the white backdrop – a nice clean and contemporary look…
Such great expressions – a happy crew!
Just the grandparents with the grandkids… such a classic photo!
And now a couple with the family units…
Adorable!!! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of the family fun! It was a delight having them here!

Ava is a character and we are huge fans. We had so much fun with her, and her photos? OMG. She’s a pro – tons of style and sass and the day we spent with her and her mom Stacie whom we went to high school with was one we won’t soon forget! A great time in Detroit and we can’t wait to do it again on her senior session. We are pleased to have her representing our studio at Bloomfield Hills High School for the class of 2020! Let’s get to the photos…
All About Ava
Our plan was to go to Belle Isle first and this was where the adventure started… the ramp to get onto I-75 south from I-94 was closed so we ended up heading in the opposite direction which put us right by an industrial center where we have taken some images before so we figured while we were there we would get a few….
And wow. Right off the bat Ava was in the zone – what a gorgeous image.
After a little time there we headed back down to our original destination and…..they were setting up for the Grand Prix. Ugh! No worries – we still got our skyline image that has become popular for Detroit sessions and we have a little fun behind the scenes from our livestream on Facebook:
And here is the result:
Detroit and Ava vs. Everybody!
Next we headed over to Eastern Market to get a few photos on a particular wall that we love (after a lunch break at Chili Mustard Onions – YUM).
As you can imagine we had a really tough time narrowing down photos from this session… Ava looked fantastic!
We also have more behind the scenes this time from the livestream we did on Instagram!
Last but not least after bouncing around the D a little more we made it back to the studio for a few photos on the black backdrop (most of our seniors do a combination of studio and location for their sessions) and we’ll leave you with this stunner…
Great one to end on! We were all about Ava that day indeed and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Jordan is a jewel indeed – she came highly recommended from one of our spokesmodels in the class of 2019 and now she’s leading the way at West Bloomfield High School for the class of 2020! We really liked Jordan and her parents Jessica and Doug from the first moment we met them at the studio and we were able to get outdoors for some location photos for her spokesmodel session in Birmingham! We’re excited to share a few – Quarton Lake is a great spot and very popular with our seniors for a reason.
Jordan is a Jewel
We actually started in the studio and got a few images on the black and we love this one so we’ll start with it:
Love it!!!
Now let’s get to Quarton Lake for the location photos – it was really windy which was a bit of a challenge but there were moments where the wind worked in our favor too so let’s take a look…
Really pretty with the backlight and Jordan’s hair getting a little assist from the breeze! We also have some behind the scenes fun first from Facebook Live:
The Spring buds on the trees were just coming in as well which gave us a little pop of color…
Gorgeous…
Moving along taking advantage of different vistas and a few outfit changes which is typical for our senior sessions…
Love that one – framing Jordan nicely!
And we’ll leave you with one more behind the scenes vid from Instagram…
And there you have it! Jordan was a jewel that day and she IS a jewel! We are thrilled to have her representing our studio and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!

Not to be taken too literally or seriously, this title (referring to a cheer with a long history) refers to how chilly it was the day we went outside to photograph Maddie’s spokesmodel session and how COOL calm and collected Maddie was despite the cold! Maddie is another Walled Lake Northern Knight and the other nights were both indoor sessions, so we (okay I) really wanted outdoor photos. And despite me ruining my shoes by stepping in a mud puddle and the wind blowing over a tripod and breaking a photo umbrella I’m still glad we did it, because the photos are great Indeed, and well, dang it it’s SUPPOSED to be warmer by now! So yes, it’s cold out here, there must be some Maddie in the atmosphere! Haha…
Maddie in the atmosphere
Maddie’s mom Lisa joined us for the day and we actually started in the studio – we haven’t featured much of our fun furniture yet for the class of 2020 so we wanted to get some of that done too. So even though the setup was all about the outdoor shots, let’s start with the studio:
So adorable!!! We call that chair “The Throne” and Maddie rocks it with the yellow top on the white backdrop!
Next we moved to the black couch with the black backdrop and we fired up a livestream on Facebook for some fun behind the scenes! Take a look:
And the result:
Love it!
Now let’s get to those outdoor pics! They really came out great and this is typical in that many of our seniors will do a combination of studio and on location photos during their session.
So cute! And we also have more behind the scenes fun from the livestream we did on Instagram:
And we’ll leave you with one of those as our last image for now:
So pretty! And there you have it – it was cold out here but it was because Maddie was in the atmosphere! We hope you enjoyed the highlights!
