A Sportin’ Bar Mitzvah Celebration With Ari!











We have always been fans of photographing folks in traditional dress no matter the ethnicity – all of the colors are so beautiful! And when the family’s beauty inside and out matches the beauty of the clothing? Perfection! We are big fans of Happie and Bertram and their family and we were able to capture them at the studio as well as on location – we’ve been looking forward to sharing these highlights!
Let’s start with the studio photos and a couple different looks beginning with casual:
What a delightful and gorgeous crew!
From casual to formal…
Love that family hug!
Now we go from formal to traditional! Here’s the first combo from the behind the scenes on Facebook:
And the next one on the purple…
BEAUTIFUL!
Let’s now share one on location at the house with the extended crew to finish it off…
Love it – family is a great topic for finishing off 2022 on the blog! We hope for the happiest and healthiest 2023 for all of you and we’ll see you soon! We hope you enjoyed the Happie / Happy highlights of our time with this fabulous fam!
When Jonathan’s mom Bucci walked into the studio to say she needed senior pictures for her son we had a good feeling right off the bat – some people just bring the good energy and this is a family that is loaded with it. And as for Jonathan, we were really impressed with this guy! A student-athlete, a West Bloomfield Laker and an all around good kid. His senior session was a winner and the fam jumped in for a few portraits as well, so let’s get to some highlights!
Looking good Jonathan!
We actually hit a few spots around West Bloomfield and here’s a little fun behind the scenes from Instagram at Orchard Lake:

And then Bucci, sister Meena, and dad John jumped in for the family pic – what a crew!
We’re fans.
Back to the main man…
Representing those Lakers!
We actually have more behind the scenes of some action shots on the trails – Jonathan runs cross country and track!
Erma turns 90 only once, so when her family gathered together to celebrate her it was really special! We were thrilled to be a part of their weekend with these amazing family portraits! You couldn’t have ordered a more perfect day either over the 4th of July weekend and we met them at Tam-O-Shanter Country Club for the proceedings… let’s get to a few highlights!
Let’s talk about Erma for a second – what a character! She’s so funny – she kept saying we had to pay her to take her picture – haha! You’ll get a feel for how much fun we had with her and her wonderful family with multiple generations on hand in this behind the scenes livestream from Facebook:
And here are a few highlighted photos – we mixed it up and took photos of each family unit and lots of combinations!
What a crew!!! Happy Birthday Erma! We wish you many more with your wonderful family!!!
We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with all of them!
Ibrahim turned a month old and brought his parents to the studio for one of the most adorable photo sessions of ALL TIME! He along with his dad Ibrahim and his mom Cynthia make up one of the cutest families you’ll see – they had matching “mom”, “dad” and soccer baby shirts and we just had so much fun with them… So let’s get to some highlights!
This session was all in the studio and Ibrahim was really a perfect subject – no meltdowns – he didn’t even poop while he was here! Such an alert and mellow little dude!
Is there anything more beautiful than when a baby makes three?
We also have behind the scenes first from Facebook – and as you can see our neighbors Toyology Toys down the hall came through with a little soccer ball!
Next we have a couple with just mom and just dad…
LOVE that little jersey!
Love this. Such love in this portrait!
Here’s the fun behind the scenes TikTok:

Turning one is pretty cool. Theo should know – he just did it. And he brought his brothers and parents to the studio to celebrate the milestone with some portraits – and some balloons – and a CAKE SMASH (which by the way wasn’t the first time for this family)! Let’s take a look at a few of the highlights shall we?
That’s a happy dude!
Now let’s bring in the big bros!
One more of the main man before we get to the smash…
Now here we’ve got some behind the scenes from the cake smash on Facebook:
And the yummy result!
That face!!!
Well there you have it – a smashing good time with Theo indeed! We hope you enjoyed the highlights!
Melyssa was once known (and still is as far as we’re concerned) as the “Frameable Faces Fairy” and she’s a legend here! She and her family have become friends of ours over the years (here’s a throwback to a session of Melyssa and her sisters) and she recently brought her THIRD child to the studio – almost-6-month-old Kollyns! Hard for us to believe! And Kollyns is such an adorable smush. We loved having her here and we need to show you these highlights!
Simple and scrumptious – we’re going to let these photos mostly speak for themselves.
That smile!!!
She’s awesome. We also have a little fun behind the scenes from Facebook:
You gotta love when you get a crew that genuinely enjoys being together like these peeps. Especially when some of them have their own things going on, kids at different levels of school all the way up to college, and indeed this was attempt #2 to get them all in for the session – and it worked!
As for who they are – Alex and I go way back as teammates at Michigan, and he brought his beautiful wife and all the kids here for a memorable afternoon! Pretty excited to share these so let’s get to it:
We’ll start with everyone in a classic black and white look:
Stunning group!
We also have some fun behind the scenes from Facebook:
We broke it down into a bunch of different combinations and we’ll share a few of them here – first just the kids:
Next just the daughters….
…and finally just the dudes!
Love the way these turned out and it was so great to have my old buddy here with his family! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with them!
Is there anything better than Ezra? As in photographing Ezra so soon after he arrives in the world? Not much. We love newborns and we have to say that this newborn set the record for shortest and easiest newborn portrait session in Frameable Faces history. Ezra was a champ – no meltdowns, lots of sleeping – just a mellow little dude and he was a joy to photograph.
Oh – and his family… they’re also a pleasure including his big sis Izzy who was so sweet and helpful! Parents Stephanie and Kevin have a great little family going here, and we’re here for it all day – to share these wonderful highlights, so let’s get to them!
Let’s start with the classic family portrait!
Love that!
We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:
And how about one more on the black background with big sis!
Adorable!
Now for a little focus on the main man for his first professional portraits:
OMG. A beautiful sleeping baby boy!
We also have some more behind the scenes from Instagram:

And we’ll leave you with one more:
Awesome.
What a morning with Ezra and the rest of the family! We loved it and we hope you enjoyed the highlights!
Alexandra is a pro at this point – she’s been growing up in front of Ally’s camera and we’ve loved all of it! This time around Alexandra brought her parents for a family photoshoot on location and of course she rocked it. Kim and Adam did pretty alright too! Lol…
We haven’t been to this spot in a while so it was nice to get back there for this session. Let’s get to the highlights!
First we have Alexandra and her mommy…
LOVE!!!!!!
Like…..could she be any more adorable?
We have some fun behind the scenes as well from Facebook:
…and now the daddy’s little girl pic:
She is so yummy.
Alexandra was now ready to steal the show for the grand finale in her wagon!
OH. EM. GEEEEEEE. She is SO CUTE.
Great one to end it on for now, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Alexandra and her parents!
