Hey – It’s Time To Celebrate A Few Headlining Headshots!

We love professional headshots here at the studio because we often get to help someone launch a new business, begin a new position, get honored with an award, get out there on the market (if you get our drift), or simply update their online presence – but regardless of the reason it’s always fun!  We have a few recent headshots to share with you here – one on the grey background and two on white, but we have plenty of options depending on what is required, and remember – if your car is older than your headshot you NEED a new one!  Hehe…

Marcie

Marcie is the new Regional President-Elect for Hadassah and she’s pretty excited for her new leadership role!  She’s perfect for it – we’ve known Marcie for years now and she’s a delight.  Congrats Marcie!

Headshots

Brooke

Brooke Allen is adorable – and you may know her voice from the last 5 years she spent on WWJ 950 – August 31st was her last day on the air and we are excited to follow her next endeavor!  We first met Brooke when she interviewed us for the West Bloomfield Civic Center TV show The Splash 4 years ago and we’ve collaborated with her a couple times since – we love Brooke!  You can follow her on Instagram!

Headshots

 

Jessica

Last but certainly not least is Jessica Seman whom we just met when she became a client for this headshot!  She’s a doll – she’s starting a business consulting biz and is in the process of launching her website as we speak!!!

Headshots

And there you have it!  Hope you enjoyed seeing these headlining headshots and learning about these ladies!  And of course, give us a shout if YOU need an updated headshot!

Kudos For Kaitlin – She Crushed Her Senior Pictures!

What a day we had with Kaitlin!  Forecast was slightly dicey but we were pretty sure it was going to be clear when we were on location and sure enough the conditions were perfect for this rising Walled Lake Northern Knight of the class of 2024!  This is kinda part 1 only because her twin brother Justin will be appearing here with his own session in the fall – he joined us for some of this so their parents could have a few of them together, but they are also getting their own days in the sun – so to speak hehe…  Kaitlin gets the pretty and Justin gets the city!  So let’s get to why the kudos for Kaitlin are justified shall we?

Kudos for Kaitlin

We had plenty of laughs as well on this day and mom Stacey joined us – she’s a delight.  But for all of the talk of weather we actually started in the studio for the yearbook pic and a few more poses so we’ll start there:

Kudos for Kaitlin

She’s adorable!

Okay let’s head outside to the Bham.

Kudos for Kaitlin

What a pic!!!

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Time for another outfit change – our seniors can change their outfits as many times as they like really – somewhere between 4-6 outfits is typically the sweet spot.

Kudos for Kaitlin

Love the colors and Kaitlin was having fun!  Let’s check out one more behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

Fiery Antics With Anthony and More on His Spokesmodel Session!

Bringing home the class of 2024 senior spokesmodel crew with the dudes!  Anthony crushed it – you might even say he was on FIRE!!!  We weren’t surprised – Anthony is a great kid and we go wayyyyyy back with his parents.  His dad John and Doug were football teammates at Michigan so we’re talking 35 years…  pretty surreal to have Anthony here representing the Catholic Central Shamrocks for our spokesmodel team!  His mom Lynne joined us at the studio for these epic photos – let’s get to them…

Fiery Antics With Anthony

Anthony is a student athlete and he works hard at his craft whether on the gridiron or in the shot put and discus circles (and especially in the weight room) and we wanted to capture that grit and badassery so….

Anthony

Like we said…..dude was on FIRE!!!

Here’s some fun behind the scenes as well first from Facebook:

After the flames died down we got to the business of capturing more angles of our guy’s personality of which he has plenty!

Anthony

Looking great!

Anthony

Smiling Shamrock!

We also changed backdrops to get a few on the white – our seniors typically try out plenty of different looks, backdrops, and locations too!  Here’s some more behind the scenes from Instagram:

Anthony
Awesome!  
 
Anthony killed it!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our session with him and we can’t wait for the class of 2024!  It’s practically here….

Building Entrepreneurship 2023 With BBYO Here At The Studio!

Building Entrepreneurship is a BBYO program that we have been involved with over the years – it returned last year in Detroit after a little hiatus and we were honored to participate!  BBYO is the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement aspiring to involve more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences, and both of our kids were very active in it while they were in high school.  We love to give back and anytime we can tell our story and mentor young people about business and careers we are game!  This year they came to us here at the studio and we were thrilled to host them!

Building Entrepreneurship 2023!

As we’ve said before we think it’s important to get young people to start thinking about viewing the world from a business standpoint – even if it’s just in terms of following their passions and looking at the social media platforms they are already on from a marketing and career standpoint.  Follow the brands and professions you like on Instagram for example in addition to your friends!  See how they operate, how they communicate to their communities.  It’s easy to learn plenty even if you aren’t sure what you want to do with your life!  The girls asked some great questions and some of them are clearly already thinking about their futures.

We have a little fun behind the scenes from Facebook:

After we told the story of Frameable Faces with some tips about how we grew the business and some advice mixed in we took a couple of fun group photos and put together this fun composite!

Building Entrepreneurship 2023

We loved hosting Building Entrepreneurship 2023 and we look forward to being a part of this wonderful program again next year!

Alright Alex!  This kid has talent, style and swagger!  He brought his sax and played for us in the studio on his senior session and he crushed it in Detroit as well – what a day!  We had a blast with this class of 2023 West Bloomfield Laker and his delightful mom Michelle!  We started out in the studio and that’s where we’ll start with the highlights…

Rose Shows Up All The Other Flowers In The Garden On Her Senior Pics!

Rose makes her second appearance on the blog in (appropriately) a GARDEN, and she showed up all those other flowers there – they didn’t stand a chance.  Rose is a class of 2023 spokesmodel for us and a senior at Walled Lake Northern, and we love her.  Her mom Sharyn and dad Alan joined us for a memorable day with great weather for the encore and she slayed the game which was not surprising, so let’s get to some highlights!

Rose Shows Up The Other Flowers

This was a brand new spot for us – let us know if you’re interested in using it – it will pretty much always be Rose’s since she was first…

Rose

Gorgeous!!!!!!

And a shout out to our neighbors down the hall The Beauty Lounge for Rose’s hair and makeup…

We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Rose

Okay wow…

Rose

And wow again – we love this photo – something about the little lean in her pose and that awesome smile.

A little more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram

A Second Time Around With Sasha For Senior Pics In Detroit!

The second time around with Sasha was as memorable as we knew it would be.  This future Arizona Wildcat has style to burn and she represented our studio for the class of 2022 as a spokesmodel for Frankel Jewish Academy in grand fashion!  We love this girl and her mom Kristine and we were looking forward to getting her in front of Ally’s camera again!  We spent the whole session in Detroit and Sasha slayed – of course…!  Let’s get to some highlights.

A Second Time Around With Sasha

We spent a lot of time in and around Eastern Market and here’s a fantastic highlight to kick it off…

Second Time Around

LOVE IT.  That gate is cool.

Second Time Around

And there are endless murals… and Sasha knew how to pick ’em.

We went a little “post-apocalyptic” on the next stop and here’s some behind the scenes from Facebook:

And the result:

Second Time Around

We love that shot!

We have some more fun behind the scenes from Eastern Market before we headed over to the DIA this time from Instagram:

Everything Was Coming Up Roses With Rose on Her Spokesmodel Session!

We became instant fans of Rose – it didn’t take long.  Actually we’re fans of Rose and her mom Sharyn whom we recently did a headshot for and we were with Rose at the BBYO Building Entrepreneurship event recently so we’ve become fast friends!  Rose is a character in the best way – she’s funny – and she’s smart, adorable, dynamic – all the things!  We’re thrilled to have her representing our studio for the rising high school class of 2023 at Walled Lake Northern!

Coming Up Roses

We spent a gorgeous day in Birmingham for her spokesmodel session which has always been a popular spot for our seniors, so let’s get to a few highlights shall we?

Coming Up Roses

Yes!  This was a new spot and angle for Ally and Rose nailed it.  We also need to give a shout out to our neighbors in the mall The Beauty Lounge for Rose’s hair and makeup!

Next we changed spots and outfits (our seniors typically change outfits several times for senior sessions) and we fired up the Facebook Live for a little behind the scenes fun!

And here’s the result!

Coming Up Roses

Gorgeous girl!

Another outfit change and….wow.

Coming Up Roses

This was the one that got Sharyn…  a really sweet moment when mom got emotional over her baby looking so beautiful.  I grabbed a pic with the iPhone…

Gets us in the feels…

Okay back to some more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram:

Oh but we’re not done… we have a little bonus…
 
Rose was posing for this next pic when THE most adorable little photobomber decided to join us – we asked and her mom said yes, so here you go!
 
 
Everything was coming up Roses indeed – Rose was making friends!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her as we look forward to the fast approaching senior season – we can’t wait to get her in front of Ally’s camera again!

Building Entrepreneurship With BBYO In Detroit!

Building Entrepreneurship is a BBYO program that we were honored to participate in recently in Detroit!  BBYO is the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement aspiring to involve more Jewish teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences, and both of our kids were very active in it while they were in high school.  We love to give back and anytime we can tell our story and mentor young people about business and careers we are game!

Building Entrepreneurship!

Ally did most of the presenting to this crew of young ladies at the Hilton Garden Inn in Detroit where I grabbed this pano of the room (with my iPhone)…

Building Entrepreneurship

We always think it’s important to get young people to start thinking about viewing the world from a business standpoint – even if it’s just in terms of following your passion and looking at the social media platforms they are already on from a marketing and career standpoint.  Follow the brands and professions you like on Instagram for example in addition to your friends!  See how they operate, how they communicate to their communities.  It’s easy to learn plenty even if you aren’t sure what you want to do with your life!

After we told the story of Frameable Faces with some tips about how we grew the business and some advice mixed in we took a couple of fun group photos… 

First with smiles…

Building Entrepreneurship

And then with some silliness… hehe…

Building Entrepreneurship

All in all it was a great experience for us with this fantastic group!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with them!

Her Royal Highness Princess Pinky Girl Graces The Studio!

Princess Pinky Girl herself (aka Jenn Fishkind) came to the studio for some updated photos for her website and we had a blast!  Jenn has really grown her brand with almost 5 million followers on her Pinterest page and a huge following of the fun, yummy and easy recipes at her blog.  You should check out her website and subscribe to her email newsletter – like immediately.  The girl knows a little something about branding so we were honored that she chose us to take hers to yet another level! 

Meanwhile this was such a fun session with candy, cupcakes and even a candy crown courtesy of our friend on the East Coast Ms. Candy Blog, and Jenn crushed it – she looked fabulous and we laughed a whole lot….  let’s get to a few highlights!

Her Royal Highness – Princess Pinky Girl! 

Princess Pinky Girl

Okay she’s adorable…

We have some fun behind the scenes from the session too – first from Facebook:

And we’re just bubbling over with joy over this next one…

Princess Pinky Girl

See what we did there…?

At this point we headed over to LaFata Cabinets here at the Orchard Mall – they’re our neighbors and they have a beautiful showroom!  A big thank you to them for letting us use their store!

Here’s a little more behind the scenes this time from Instagram over at Lafata Cabinets:
