What a year (so far) it’s been for our Class of 2019 seniors! We decided to go back for the first time and create an EPIC recap video of the best of the Class of 2019 Senior Snapchat Stories for you! We know not everyone has Snapchat, and even if they do they may not have caught all of our stories throughout the senior season so here we go…
The Class of 2019 Senior Snapchat Stories
This video makes us smile the whole way through – it’s about 15 minutes long and includes everyone we shared highlights of publicly throughout – from Detroit to Ann Arbor, Pontiac to New York, summer, fall and winter, with plenty of wildlife, laughs, squad selfies and other shenanigans – but most of all our SENIORS!!! We love these young people and there are still more of them to come so there will likely be a part 2…
Enjoy!

We love our seniors as you know, and we’re always really impressed with seniors who take the initiative to call the studio themselves and set up their own session! This is not a knock on the seniors whose parents make the call, but we love when we can hear the confidence and eloquence of a young person who can handle themselves so well right off the bat! This was the case with Anika, and that first impression was just the tip of the iceberg. She is such a sweetheart! Anika is also the number 1 ranked tennis player in the state of Michigan and is leaving this month to embark on her journey to play tennis at the University of North Carolina! Doug’s Godfather played football at UNC back in the 50’s so we’ve always had a slight affinity for the Carolina Blue and White and now we’ll have a personal connection there with someone whose career we are excited to follow!
Anika Serves Up An Ace
As for her senior session it was one to remember – both her parents Pat and Sushma joined us for her day and they are both delightful – we had a lot of fun – and the photos? Just awesome – an ACE of a session for sure and you could say we “LOVE” this girl – see what we did there? Let’s get to the highlights!
We’ll start in the studio on the black…
Beautiful!
We played around with the white background too – so many options and it has been hard to narrow these down for this blog post… In the meantime we have some fun behind the scenes first from the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast in the studio:
At this point we headed out to the tennis courts for some location photos and we had some really cool Michigan fall colors in the background for a tennis setting which was pretty neat as Anika donned some UNC gear:
Servin’ and slayin’….
We also have some behind the scenes fun from the tennis court at West Bloomfield High School from our Instagram livestream – take a look:
From there we headed over to Birmingham and these next two are both closeups but they’re just too good – so instead of choosing we’re leaving you with these two… one on the dock at Quarton Lake:
And one with a change of wardrobe and a natural background – awesome!!!
Anika served up an ACE of a session indeed, she’s got the ADVANTAGE for life, and we LOVE her for sure! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with her!

Oh deer…. hehe. I think we’ll just leave that here and we’ll come back to it later.
Meanwhile we had a delightful day with Detroit Country Day senior and future Central Michigan Chippewas field hockey player Meg and her mom Jennifer on a memorable senior session first here at the studio and then on location! We’ll start in the studio:
Senior Session Memories With Meg!
The white backdrop is just a nice simple and contemporary look and Meg rocked it…
She is adorable.
Fire up Chips! No Really – FIRE UP!
We’ve had a run on accomplished athletes for the class of 2019 which has us thinking about making college sports updates for former Frameables a thing going forward, and Meg is going to be continuing her career in field hockey at CMU as we mentioned before. So let’s FIRE up Chips! Like, for real…
First a little behind the scenes of what we mean from the Facebook Live broadcast:
And the result!
Don’t mess with Meg…
At this point we headed out on location to get some photos in a natural setting and we had a great day for it:
Wow!!! And that backlight….
We have some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram…
And the photo in the leaves…
Oh DEER….
Meanwhile here’s the oh DEER part. We have never seen a more friendly wild deer than this one who just came over and chilled with us. Licking Meg’s hand and just hanging out for a few pics. We were blown away – Meg said it was the coolest thing she thinks she’s ever done. It’s a bonus photo and here it is…
Meg the deer whisperer! We’re including the Snapchat story that has a little of this captured on video – so fun!
Oh DEER! And there you have it – an experience we’ll never forget and a senior we won’t forget either! We expect big things from this girl and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Soccer senior sessions and Fall sessions are cool, and with Josh we got both! Josh is a legacy and soccer runs strong in his family as we found out when his brother Jake came in a few years ago, and we love this family so we knew Josh would be a good dude – he was the only one we hadn’t met yet!
Soccer Senior
We started in the studio where Josh’s mom Shari joined us for the fun! We broke out the fire for this first pic – check it out:
So dope.
We also have some fun behind the scenes action from that image from the Instagram Live broadcast we did:
At this point we headed out for some fall colors as they are really cool here in Michigan when the leaves start to turn… It was a pretty chilly day but as we (or at least I) say it’s ALL mental! Lol…
Pure Michigan! Josh looks great!
We have some more behind the scenes from that photo as well – this time from Facebook Live:
Let’s leave you with a couple more – first in a relaxed pose:
And one last photo… don’t try this one at home…hehe.
Awesome – fire, fall and a soccer senior – what could be better? Josh is a great kid who is going to go far, and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our time with him!

Zinging around the woods with Zach on an unseasonably warm late fall day is our idea of a good time! Zach is a fun dude – he’s a buddy of our son Tony too so he passes the test for full approval – haha… We are also actually distant cousins with Zach so we’ve known his mom Liz forever too so we knew this would be a fun day.
Zinging around the woods with Zach
We headed over to the woods behind the West Bloomfield library and found a pathway that we had never taken before, and wow what a cool spot! The forest floor was coated with fall leaves and we got some great stuff, so let’s get to it shall we?
Zach chilling among the tall trees!
We also have some fun behind the scenes action as we usually do. Snapchat is being weird but we have our Facebook Live broadcast which is a lot of fun! Take a look:
And now let’s get to the rest of the highlighted photos:
Just relaxing on a log – we were having a pretty chill time.
And we’ll leave you with one more!
Good stuff – Zach looking good up close and personal!
And there you have it – we zinged around the woods with Zach and got some fantastic shots! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

You may remember Alena from the beginning of the year in her spokesmodel session when she began to represent those North Farmington Raiders for our studio? Well we upped the ante attaining Autumn Awesomeness for her senior session! You remember back when it was Autumn right? As of this zero-degree writing it seems so loooooong ago…. but I digress. Let’s reminisce and revisit our day with Alena!
Alena Attains Autumn Awesomeness…
Alena’s mom Mindy is also a North Farmington Raider alum just like us and we’ve known her for many years so we love being with them and this day was no exception. Since Alena’s spokesmodel session was all indoors during the winter we spent most of our energy this time on location in Birmingham and that’s where we’ll pick up the action.
Yes! Could her hair be any more perfect for a fall shoot? We also need to give a shout out to Mandy Rose Studio for the always fantastic job on Alena’s hair and makeup (Michelle on hair and Mandy on makeup)! Actually let’s even kick it up another notch with this one:
Wow. So pretty! And let’s take a look at some of our fun behind the scenes action from the shoot, first with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:
Okay now let’s get to the fun urban stuff – industrial walls, streets and the like! We headed over to another location for these and did another wardrobe change.
Love it! This has been one of our favorite walls for a long time and guess what – we’re not telling where it is!!! Haha – we don’t own the wall so if you figure it out we won’t be mad lol…
Meanwhile we have some more behind the scenes fun with our YouTube Live replay – check it out and please hit the “subscribe” button to our channel while you’re there!
We will leave you with this last photo for now of Alena stopping traffic! Haha!
Wow right? Alena slayed on this session and we attained Autumn Awesomeness indeed!!! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Photographing Jordyn was a pure delight – you might even say being with Jordyn had us jumping for joy! Well maybe not literally jumping but certainly figuratively because she is just such a sweetie and a pleasure to be around! Her mom Rebecca joined us on a fine fall Michigan day and she’s a lot of fun too! The results speak for themselves so let’s take a look:
Photographing Jordyn…
We started out in the studio on the white backdrop and we love Jordyn in the powder blue with the white chair! Great one to start with…
Next we moved to the black backdrop and we fired up the Facebook Live for some behind the scenes fun! Take a look:
And here’s a shot on the black in a new outfit!
Love that!!!
At this point it was time to get outside on location and we made a stop over behind the West Bloomfield Library for a little pop of fall! She looks so pretty!
At this point we headed over to our last stop over at Orchard Lake where we fired up the YouTube Live this time for a little more behind the scenes fun! Take a look!
And we’ll leave you with one more photo of Jordyn chillin’ out on the dock:
And there you have it! Photographing Jordyn had us jumping for joy and now you know why! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Lexi had a lively fall senior session indeed – there was lots of fun and laughter because she’s just so funny! She’s gorgeous, smart, nice and all that but she definitely made us laugh a lot. You’ll see how much fun she is in the behind the scenes videos below. Meanwhile she’s a legacy here since we photographed her older sister Helene several years back (before we were writing blog posts for each senior) and we were happy to have her parents Robyn & David back to the studio!
Lexi’s Lively Fall Senior Session!
Like her sister, Lexi waited until we had the pretty Pure Michigan fall colors and since we scheduled a morning session we went out on location to do those first – we’ll pick up the action there:
How amazing is that shot….? She looks awesome surrounded by all the Pure Michigan fall leaves!
We also love this close up with the brick:
At this point we went over to nearby woods behind the West Bloomfield library and here is the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast behind the scenes – it would actually be great to have Lexi back to the studio to co-host some other livestreams – she’s hilarious!
….and here is the result:
Fantastic!
At this point we headed back to the studio for some photos where we went live again this time for some fun on YouTube:
…and one more from that red paper backdrop:
Gorgeous!
And there you have it! A lively fall senior session with Lexi indeed – we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

We love getting to know our seniors and on a nice fall day with those Pure Michigan colors outside we got to know Nadia a little better on her senior session! She’s a total sweetheart – and what better day to photograph her than on her birthday!!! Nadia’s mom Cherish joined us as well and we had a lot of fun with her too as you’ll see in a sec. Meanwhile it was a little chilly that day (although that’s all mental as we like to remind our seniors – ha) but the conditions were still just fine for photos and we focused on location shots so let’s get to ’em:
Getting To Know Nadia
Love that shot with the steps as the backdrop!
We also have some fun behind the scenes for you starting with the replay of our Facebook Live broadcast:
And let’s take a look at a couple more…
Looking super cute in the hooded vest and you can see some hints of fall in the background as well as in this close up below…
A nice pop of color with the scarf too! We also have a little more behind the scenes this time from the Snapchat story from the day:
Fun with those snap filters! Now we’ll leave you with one more:
She looks amazing and nicely framed with some Pure Michigan fall leaves!
And there you have it – getting to know Nadia was wonderful and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Lo and behold it’s Logan! One of those surreal sessions for us since we’ve known this dude since he was a baby… he’s also a legacy here since his big sis Aria was one of our seniors last year (not to mention little sis Sedona had a Frameable bat mitzvah too) and this fam is one we’re very close with so this made for a fun one!
Lo and behold it’s Logan!
Meanwhile we were rained out twice for the location part of his session which was really the majority of what we had planned so we broke it up into two different days. Logan’s mom Rachel came along and she and Ally did plenty of giggling getting Logan to laugh and smile…hehe… So let’s start with a studio shot on day one:
Bad dude.
We also have some fun behind the scenes action starting with the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast from the studio:
Now let’s pick up the action on day 2 on location with some “Pure Michigan” colors!
Looking good!
For the behind the scenes on the location shoot we go to the snap story from Snapchat since there were some funny moments there…. lol!
And a couple more results:
How about that awesome Pure Michigan Color as a backdrop!!!
And we’ll leave you with one more…
And there you have it – lo and behold we made it happen with Logan even if we had to split up the session! We hope you enjoyed the highlights!

So dope. 
Next we moved to the black backdrop and we fired up the Facebook Live for some behind the scenes fun! Take a look:
She looks so pretty!
