Fashion and Style With Eleganza Boutique and The Beauty Lounge!

It was definitely “Haute” in the studio yesterday as we collaborated with the girls from Eleganza Boutique for images that will appear in their new catalogue!  Eleganza is a neighbor of ours down the hall here in the Orchard Mall.  They’ve been in business since 1986 and it is a fabulous LOCAL independent boutique.  Eleganza provided the fashions and the models while hair and makeup was provided by The Beauty Lounge – a fantastic salon also here in the mall!

Check Out The Hook While My DJ Revolves It… and Check Out This Fun Family Session!

Ice Ice Baby….  Ice Ice Baby….  All right STOP!  Collaborate and listen.  Ice is back with my brand new invention.  Something grabs a hold of me tightly.  Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly.  Will it ever stop? Yo – I DON”T KNOW!!!!!! But that song has been going through our heads here at the studio since our photo session with the G family.  🙂 When M, S and their sons walked through the door, we knew we were going […]

Facebook First Aid For Brands – How To Survive The New Changes

I wrote a guest post back in May for The Collective where I echoed the predominant thinking about how your blog (and website) should be the center of your online universe since you own them, as opposed to your pages on Facebook and Twitter that you don’t own.  You don’t know what might happen with those sites and you can’t control it.  Well something indeed happened to Facebook… Money changes everything. The short version is Facebook went public, it didn’t go […]

Frameable Faces and Politics? They Don’t Mix and Probably Shouldn’t For Your Business…

In this election season politics dominate our airwaves as well as our social media feeds.  In my view it’s generally not a good idea for a business to share their political opinions.  We’ve seen many examples of businesses doing this and the controversy that follows.  Chick-fil-A is a recent high profile example that comes to mind and I also found an interesting article that examines the politics of retailers and the potential impact on their brands. Frameable Faces and Politics? […]

Class of 2013 Frameables! Part 2

Back in September we posted some Class of 2013 Frameables and promised that there would be more to come, so as promised here is Part 2!!!  What a great year this has been and the fall colors of Michigan have been beautiful!  We have enjoyed each senior who has come through our doors – more great sessions, great stories, great friendships being built.  Our sometimes-rogue reflector “Reflecto” has even been moved to start tweeting largely because of the fun he’s […]

Frameable Faces For Seniors! “Behind the Scenes” – Picking Up Proofs

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – we LOVE our seniors!  Photographing seniors is one of the most enjoyable things we do.  Ally and I both enjoyed high school and we attended North Farmington High School together.  While we knew each other and I was only one class ahead of her, we did not date until after college (it’s actually a fun story).  Because we went to high school together and only live a few minutes away […]

“Life Began” With Facebook And Today Is My 5th Birthday!

October 3rd, 2007.  A glorious day – it was the day I came into the world………of facebook. That makes today my 5th birthday and I am celebrating with this blog post.  Facebook wasn’t my first exposure to social media but it was the site that changed everything for sure.  Taking a little trip down memory lane I was able to see the days I became friends with my best friends from my previous uninformed, boring, non-connected life.  The early days […]

Our Top 8 Wipeouts… Doug vs. his shoelaces. […]
