Mad about Maddie is what we are! We actually have been at least since her spokesmodel session back in April and so we were excited to get her in front of Ally’s camera again for her senior pictures! We had great weather and we focused mainly on location for this day so we headed out with Maddie and her mom Lisa to make it happen!
Mad About Maddie
First we went to a private beach that they had access to:
Okay she’s adorable.
From there we headed to a fave dock of ours for a few and we have some fun behind the scenes on this from Facebook Live!
…and one of the results!
Love it. And we’ll also give a shout out to Francie Fruitman on the fantastic makeup!
We bounced around West Bloomfield a little where we got this image with Maddie surrounded by natural beauty!
Oh, and Maddie LOVES bumblebees…. ok not really. Haha! Some more behind the scenes on that…. from Instagram LIVE:
We’ll leave you with one more of Maddie just being super cute.
And there you have it – we’re mad about Maddie – again! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

YES it’s time for the Class of 2020 Spokesmodel Panorama…..RAMA!!! This is our third annual post like this, and while these are NOT professional photos, they are a fun behind the scenes way of representing what we’ve been up to with our new crew over the last few months in panoramic style!

Now that we’ve completed all of our 10 spokesmodel sessions we can start rolling these things out – so fun! And what a great crew we have this year….
Yes we went to some of the usual spots including studio sessions early when the weather was still freezing, but we also went to a few new ones including a couple locations in Ann Arbor and we also have spokesmodels from Clarkston High School and Ann Arbor Skyline this year! A first for us! So in no particular order, here is your class of 2020 panorama…..RAMA!!!

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!

Here we are rolling along into the class of 2020 spokesmodel sessions and we’re staying at Walled Lake Northern for this one as we say hello to Dana!!! Dana is a legacy since her older brother Nick had one of the most epic senior sessions of all time, so we are thrilled to have her and her awesome mom Paola back to the studio! Dana is totes adorbs and we had some more new backdrops to play with so let’s get to it…
Doin’ The Spokesmodeling Thing With Dana!
We started out with this very cool distressed wood backdrop and Dana rocked it – love her outfit choices too – there are no major rules on that. It’s all about what you like and your style!
Beautiful!
We also have some fun behind the scenes from our time with Dana and Paola – first from Facebook Live:
And here is the result from the pink damask with the floor setup – we love the way this turned out!
Love!
Next we have this mottled olive which also looks fantastic!
Dana is adorable.
We have some more behind the scenes too and this one was fun on Instagram Live as one of our spokesmodels from the class of 2014 Emily Brent showed up in the livestream – Emily was Dana’s camp counselor! So fun – Dana’s reaction is priceless!
And here is the result we’ll leave you with on the fiery red fabric backdrop…
And there you have it! The class of 2020 is already rocking it and we hope you enjoyed the highlights of our session with Dana!

It’s that time of year when we start photographing our new spokesmodel crew and it’s weird to say that the Class of 2020 is on its way! Wow… This is always a fun time for us because this is our team that we assemble each year to represent our studio and what better way to start it off than with Sedona whom we’ve known pretty much her whole life and some new backdrops in the studio!
Sedona Kicks of the 2020 Spokesmodels…
This isn’t Sedona’s first time on this blog either – we (our event photographer Angela) photographed her bat mitzvah a few years back and man does time fly. She did a fantastic job on this session and she’ll be representing us at Walled Lake Northern High School. So let’s get to the photos shall we?
This is the first of three backdrops we used for the first time on this day and we love the olive earth tones here with the burnt orange top – Sedona looks awesome!
We also have some behind the scenes fun too – we like for you to see how these go and catch the vibe if you will – we have fun here! If you’re not having a little fun then what’s the point right? First we have the Instagram Live replay…
Now let’s take a look at a couple more backdrops and outfits!
So cute! Ripped jeans, barn door – got a little of that rustic country feel going! Love the way that looks.
That white-washed wood is another new one and Sedona was slaying the game at this point!
Let’s get in one more behind the scenes vid for a little more fun this time from our Facebook Live:
We’ll leave you with this one on our black backdrop:
Just a nice simple pose to finish it off – Sedona is a rockstar! And there you have it! Look for more spokesmodels coming your way over the next couple of months – we are so excited for the 2020 crew!

For Ethan’s session we decided to get a little academic you could say, and Ethan got an education out of it…..in senior pictures! We headed up to the University of Michigan to get some photos around campus and both of Ethan’s parents Stacy and Paul joined us. We love spending time in Ann Arbor and it’s really picturesque so it made for a great setting! Let’s get to the highlights!
Ethan Gets An Education
Ethan started with a formal look and he’s looking ready for college here!
What a stud.
We also have some fun behind the scenes first from our Instagram LIVE:
At this point Ethan changed to a slightly more casual look for a couple more photos around campus:
Ivy covered walls are cool.
Here we are with the law quad as a backdrop framing our guy:
At this point we headed to the Arb for a more natural setting and we fired up the Facebook Live for some more behind the scenes action:
And we’ll leave you with one more in the natural setting:
So cool! Ethan got his education in senior pictures alright and he passed with flying colors! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with him!

A happy Hannah happening was what we had in downtown Detroit on this senior session! We go back to high school with Hannah’s mom Robyn so this was one of those surreal sessions for us and it was certainly one to remember! Hannah’s dad Glenn came along as well and we had a blast. As for Hannah we just have to say that she has this fun and infectious personality that totally draws you in – just a cool and nice girl who isn’t afraid to have a good laugh! We loved working with her and she had an amazing session, so let’s get to the pics!
Happy Hannah Happening in the D
Hannah decided on Detroit so we spent all of our time there, and we started on Belle Isle where we got the cool skyline photo that we love!
Okay she’s adorable.
We also have some fun behind the scenes for you first from the replay of the Facebook Live broadcast:
We grabbed a few more photos on Belle Isle too – first on the red bridge up close and personal with our girl:
That backlight is kickin’!
And we also went back to the graffiti bridge – here’s some more behind the scenes from Instagram:
….and the result:
Love it!!!
We made a location change to Eastern Market to finish up the day and found a few awesome murals – here’s one of them to leave you with:
A happy Hannah happening indeed!!! 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!

If you ask us to name a fun, smart, adorable senior whose session was ablaze with awesomeness we would surely say it’s Absolutely Abby! Love this girl. We’ve also known her dad going back to high school and beyond and she’s a friend of our Lacey so this was another session with many elements lined up to make it a success. Abby’s mom Dana joined us as well and we decided that we kinda like her too like a lot. So let’s get to it…
Absolutely Abby
We started off in the studio first on the clean and contemporary white background for this sweet close up of our girl:
Love it!
We also have some fun behind the scenes action for you as we usually do – first with the replay of our YouTube Live broadcast with the “black and blowy” set up:
How fun is she?
And the result….
So glam!
Ablaze With Awesomeness
At this point we headed out on location on a perfect summer afternoon where our lighting and our conditions overall were just perfect! Here are a couple from the nature preserve in West Bloomfield…
Love that shot… and actually we have a little more behind the scenes fun this time from our Facebook Live replay:
Love Abby at the end of both of those! LOL!
And we’ll leave you with one more from the location:
Ablaze with awesomeness – absolutely Abby!!!! We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day with her!

Yes Ben is back! You may remember Ben from his spokesmodel photos representing the class of 2017 back in May, and now it’s time to share some highlights from his senior session – what was cool about this session (aside from Ben himself and his mom Gina who is a friend of ours) was that like the previous senior we just posted it was marked by a new location for us. We had heard about Shiawassee Park in Farmington and driven past it over the years but we never thought to shoot there. Well we can say now that it’s really nice and this was a great first for us!
Ben Is Back…
Don’t let the title mislead you by the way – Ben never “left” and we see Ben a lot actually, but this is his return to the blog and it starts with this shot in Farmington Hills:
Cool huh? What a cool dude.
We also have plenty of behind the scenes fun from our day and while we are focusing on the location photos from the session here we also spent some time in the studio which you can see from this replay of our Periscope broadcast. You can download the app and follow us there at this link, or you can just watch from Twitter at this link – either way be sure to follow us at @FrameableFaces!
Meanwhile we mentioned Shiawassee Park before and now it’s time to share a couple of photos from that location. First with this neat spot at a bridge over the creek…
So awesome!!! Ben and our daughter Lacey are pretty close friends so we know Ben pretty well and we were having fun at this point! Ben is a cool guy too – he’s a pilot! Yes – of planes…!
Here’s another, this time close up:
Here is the other behind the scenes broadcast we have to share – this time from Facebook Live!
Moving right along we left Shiawassee and headed to a blue door Ally had in mind, and we’ll leave you with this one…
Dig it.
And that’s it! Ben was back and in a big way – awesome times and a great session with this guy. We hope you enjoyed the highlights of our day!
