BASSICALLY We Love Meg And Her Senior Picture Session!

BASSICALLY we love Meg and this session – it’s true.  What a sweetheart and a multiple threat!  A student athlete, a musician, beautiful on the inside and out, smart and nice.  The whole package, and we really enjoyed a wonderful day with her and her mom Carolyn in Birmingham!  Let’s get to the highlights!

BASSICALLY we love Meg!

Our conditions were awesome and the backlight on this first photo is perfect!

BASSICALLY

Beautiful!

We also played around with some studio photos by the way before we headed outdoors – here’s a little fun behind the scenes from those with some tennis flavor from Instagram:

As for why we’re spelling “bassically” with two s’s, here’s your answer…

BASSICALLY

How cool right?  Meg plays the double bass!  Here’s some behind the scenes with her instrument from Facebook!

Let’s get to a couple more outfits and highlights from Quarton Lake:

BASSICALLY

STUNNING.

And one more by the waterfall…

And there you have it – BASSICALLY it was a perfect day and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of Meg’s session!

Elise Is A Beautiful Momma To Be! A Classic Maternity Session!

Maternity sessions are wonderful and Elise’s is no exception.  Elise was brought to us by her sister Kayla for a session as a gift – so sweet!  Kayla was one of our seniors so it was really a joy to have her and her sis here to take these beautiful photos!

Let’s get to a few highlights!

Wrapping Up The Class Of 2022 Spokesmodel Sessions With Maya!

We’ve had a wonderful time photographing our newest crew of spokesmodels – the class of 2022!  And Maya is a great rising senior to finish with because she’s a NORTH FARMINGTON RAIDER!  You know we’re Raiders so we always have a soft spot for those who wear the brown and gold!  Ally has known Maya’s mom Melissa for years and we’re thrilled to have them on board!  We bounced around West Bloomfield to get some pics of Maya and here are a few highlights!

Wrapping Things Up With Maya

We started out at a fave spot of ours from the past that we hadn’t been to in a minute, and we found these pretty purple flowers to surround our girl:

Maya

LOVE IT!

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

One more from this spot with the barn in the background…

Maya

Gorgeous!

At this point we changed locations – our seniors can change outfits and locations multiple times during our 3 hour sessions.

Maya

And here’s one more on one of our local trails in the WB!

Maya

Here’s a little bonus fun at North Farmington – we will return there when Maya returns for her senior session, but we planned to go to Holland Field since she was just named to the Division 1 all-district team as the goalie and is currently the #1 ranked goalie in her league (she was actually a little sore from her last game on this session but you’d never know it), but there was a big event going on…. so we went to the front of the school to snap a few and here is the livestream from Instagram!

And there you have it!  A splendid way to wrap up the spokesmodel sessions – we are so thankful to have such a great crew of kids to represent our studio for the class of 2022!  Senior sessions will be coming your way soon on the blog and you should definitely book yours now!

Saving The Best For Last? Leah Puts The Icing On The Class of 2021 Cake!

There is always the possibility that we could still have another class of 2021 senior come along, but we think this is the final one, and Leah is the perfect senior to put the icing on the proverbial 2021 cake!  She was the first spokesmodel we photographed after we came out of the initial lockdown last year, so it seems fitting that she returns to put an exclamation point on the class!  We’ve known Leah and her family forever and they were actually one of the very early posts on this blog 13 years ago!  We’ve all come a long way lol…

Leah Puts The Icing on the Class of 2021 Cake!

Meanwhile we headed to Birmingham with Leah and her awesome mom Emma on a breezy day to make some more magic:

Leah

We will always love the fire escape pic and Leah rocked it.

We also have some behind the scenes first from Facebook:

Okay so we’re going to SLIGHTLY throw Leah under the bus here:  She was not sold on this pose.  Ally kinda cajoled her a bit we’ll say, and lo and behold – it’s AWESOME.  And Leah LOVES it.  Hehe…

Leah

Right?

Okay next we put Leah in the barrel.  We love this spot and we have some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram:

Leah

We’ll leave you with one more, and this one is a STUNNER.

Leah

Great one to finish on, and if this is the last photo of the 2021 class we’ll move on with a smile on our face.  This class went through plenty of adversity and from our experience they didn’t let it deter them.  This photo says it all for us.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with Leah!

Professional Headshots with Neighbors Kane Mostyn Insurance Agency!

We are taking a slightly different approach with this blog post!  Here’s the background:

Ben Clevenger of Kane Mostyn Insurance Agency Googled photographers in the neighborhood and gave us a call – they are located right around the corner from the studio at 5777 W Maple Road, Suite 185 and they were launching a new website in the near future, so they needed updated photos of the team.  They hired us and they were a pleasure to work with!  As we got to talking about refreshing their online presence and their image we naturally got to talking about social media strategy and we are pleased to announce they are now also the newest client of M10 Social

Now normally when we share examples of our work we post a few right here on the blog, but in this case we aren’t going to do that.  First we’re sharing the behind the scenes TikTok we put together…. (please follow us there).

@frameablefaces#professionalheadshots with Kane Mostyn Insurance! 🙂📷 See them at kmiagency.net! #frameablefaces #Insurance #MetroDetroit #Photoshoot #Photographer♬ Business (55 seconds) – TimTaj

We also have some fun behind the scenes with Ben himself from Facebook:

We love the use of this one that we screenshotted from LinkedIn – you can see they got really nice feedback on it!

Kane Mostyn Insurance Agency

Now, we would indeed love to show you more of the photos, so here is the link to the “Meet The Team” tab and you can see how they look on their website which just launched!  

Be sure to follow them on Facebook and LinkedIn and look for some fun new content including an interview series with Doug, Ben, Michael Mostyn and Larry Silver that currently has the working title of “Insurance Hacks”!

Loving Lindsey in This All Studio Class of 2022 Spokesmodel Session!

Okay Lindsey is adorable.  Full of smiles and personality and she’s representing our studio for the class of 2022 at Bloomfield Hills High School!  We’ve known her family for many years and we had a blast with her in this all-studio spokesmodel session that included the first time with a new backdrop!

Loving Lindsey

Lindsey and her mom Stacy arrived with plenty of style in their suitcase, and it’s actually not uncommon to do entire senior sessions in the studio – we offer all studio, all location, or a combination of both – you can do just about whatever you want with your 3 hours!  Let’s take a look at a few highlights starting with the “black and blowy”!

Loving Lindsey

LOVE!  We also have some fun behind the scenes first from Facebook Live including a little telemarketing madness right in the middle of the session…. lol!

Next we broke out the pink and Lindsey changed outfits – our seniors can change their outfits as many times as they like.

Loving Lindsey

So cute!

Next we went with a green/gold backdrop we’ve never used before and we love the way this came out:

Loving Lindsey

That pink dress just pops off of that backdrop!  We also have some behind the scenes from this one on Instagram Live:

Going Bree – Yond With a Two Part Senior Session Spectacular!

Bree is one of those seniors who is mature beyond her years – this graduating senior from Farmington Central is a girl who knows what she wants and had plenty of ideas for her session which always impresses us!  Her parents are a delight – both Jackie and Trent – they’re very cool and we’ve laughed plenty with them throughout this!  

Bree – Yond Beautiful

Bree wanted two different looks on two different days and she was out in front of the Spring senior rush we get every year so we had the flexibility to do it – and both days were in the studio so let’s start with “straight hair day”!

Bree

Pretty in pink!

Next Bree changed into the grey suit – nice look!

Bree

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

Day 2

Time for the braids (and Myla the pup)!

Bree

Haha!  We LOVE when seniors bring a pet to the studio.

And here we have a little more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram Live!

Rikki In The City – Splendid Spokesmodeling For The Class Of 2022!

Rikki in the city doesn’t rhyme, but it has a ring to it, and this session should ring out across Frameable Faces nation!!!  Hehe….  it really was fabulous.  We’re off to a darn good start with our class of 2022 crew and this was a session of firsts for us.  A couple new spots for us in particular that we really love!

As for this senior-to-be we really love her too – she’s a Bloomfield Hills Blackhawk like our kids were, and her mom Lauren is North Farmington Raider just like me and Ally were!  Rikki is a delight and she slayed the game as we say on this session in Detroit, so let’s get to the highlights!

Rikki In The City

We started at the DIA – people were out taking photos and everyone was happy and friendly!  Here’s a highlight:

Rikki

As always we have some fun behind the scenes action from the session – first from Facebook Live:

Shortly after and an outfit change later we found new spot #1 – we took a different route than usual and noticed this amazing wall – LOVE it!

Rikki

Okay Rikki is adorable.  This girl is going to change the world… and we have more behind the scenes fun this time from Instagram Live

Next we headed to a grungy alley and by this time you could say we were smokin’….

Rikki

Last but not least it’s another new spot for us – a random friendly dude pointed us to a bench down a path by the water and voila!

Rikki

Beautiful!!!  That’s a good one to end on for now, although the TikTok is pretty cool too…..okay we’ll add it:

@frameablefacesWhat. A. Day. w/@rikkiaronoff for her spokesmodel sesh!🥰🏙 ##FrameableFaces ##ClassOf2022 ##Detroit ##photoshoot ##MetroDetroit ##Photography ##SeniorPics♬ original sound – Frameable Faces

And there you have it!  Rikki in the city was pretty….awesome.  We hope you enjoyed the highlights and we can’t wait to get Rikki back in front of Ally’s camera again along with the rest of the upcoming class of 2022!  Call us at 248-790-7317 to book your senior session today!

Kamari Kicks It Off For The Class Of 2022 Spokesmodels!

Kamari kicks it off in style in these highlights from our first high school senior spokesmodel session for the rising class of 2022!  If you know us at all you know how giddy with excitement we get around this time of year.  Yes we’re starting a little later than our pre-pandemic schedule, but the craziness of the last year has us even more ready than usual to be photographing seniors again (if that’s possible)!

Meanwhile Kamari is not a stranger to Ally’s camera – she was here when she was little for family portraits (wow has our blog come a long way since then…haha) with her parents Jahmal and Kimberly and big brother (and former Frameable senior) Jaden!  

Kamari Kicks It Off

Kamari will be a senior at Mercy High School this fall and she is completely adorable just as she’s always been.  We started with just a pic or two in the studio before we headed out on location.  Many of our senior sessions include both studio and location photos… here’s a simple one on the white background.

Kamari Kicks

Yasss – the first 2022 senior photo!

Okay let’s head outside where Kamari continued to slay the game….

Kamari Kicks

Oooh one of our fave spots at Quarton Lake!  We also have a little fun behind the scenes action from Facebook!  Make sure you’re following us there! 

Next Kamari broke out the hoodie – how cute is she?

Kamari Kicks

We also have some more behind the scenes this time from Instagram Live – make sure you’re following us there too!  Just make sure you’re following us everywhere…. links are below at the end or up at the top of the website!

Kamari Kicks

That could be our fave…. hard to say – they’re all fantastic!  When Kamari kicks it off she does it in style!  We hope you enjoyed the highlights from our day with her and we can’t wait to photograph and share more seniors from the class of 2022!  Book your session now!
