Sammy is a future chef in the making – the dude can create some serious culinary concoctions and he knows quality when he tastes it so you know if he has any say at all in the menu at his bar mitzvah that it’s gonna be gooooooood – a scrumptious soirée! And in this case the food didn’t disappoint! We know because we were there – as guests, because Sammy is our nephew! Ally did indeed take a few photos […]
This post is just a fun quick one about our day at the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair! As photographers we appreciate all things visual, as admirers of art we appreciate all things creative whether visual or otherwise sensory in other ways, and as Frameable Faces we celebrate living a life you would want to celebrate – one you would want to remember and capture. We think strolling through an art fair fits into what we do here in plenty […]
Yes we are smitten by Sophia! She’s a sweetheart and we had a fantastic senior session with her this week! There’s a fun backstory here as her mom Rebecca found us on Periscope while watching our Doug & Ally Morning Show, and it’s always fun when we connect with people who tune in from close by so we can meet them easily in person. And one more funny tidbit here – I saw Sophia the day before her session at […]
When you Google the meaning of a Ruby the first thing you see is that it’s a “high energy stone” which makes sense for this Ruby because she is comfortable on a stage. And we’re comfortable with this Ruby because for starters she’s a legacy Frameable senior here – we met her a couple years ago when her sister Zoe was here. Besides, she’s got that hint of snark that we love, and we had fun with her on her […]
An exchange I had on twitter yesterday got me thinking… Of course I often go to football for analogies because I have a background there, so as a former player and a football “purist” I may enjoy comparing statistics for fun, but I would never play “fantasy football”. I never have and never will. I actually like statistics – I do. I’ll even use them from time to time in debates about teams and players and who was better. […]
We get excited when Shaista brings back the whole crew! We started photographing her kids shortly after we opened our studio space here in the Orchard Mall and they are just an awesome family – great kids and much fun to have around. The wrinkle this time was that Shaista brought her husband Shabbir to get the whole family in the photos! There’s a little story here – we’ve known Shaista and the kids for years but we never met […]
So much has been going on in the social media world this past week (Periscope Monetizes) or so – or at least it seems this way for us. I’ve got a few topics to cover with a few tips and of course a couple of observations and opinions…. Let’s get to it, starting with the major headlines for this post… YouTube Gets LIVE We had heard about YouTube livestreaming for a while but weren’t sure if it would be on […]
This has been a year of many changes for us here at Frameable Faces and this story is a big part of it. Personal change with our daughter Lacey going off to college in a week (!!!) and our switch to a mostly plant based lifestyle, along with professional change with a bit of diversification for the studio with Ally teaching photography classes, adding more focus to photo restoration to complement our portrait work and me taking on a couple […]
Photo Restoration is one of our favorite things to do – to help people restore and reclaim their history! We also like the stories behind the photos we get to restore, and in this case Jason shared some background on the photo he sent us of his grandparents which was pretty badly damaged. Jason (aka @LionCrownz) found us by tuning in to our Periscope broadcasts and you can join in on the fun there as well by following us at […]
I got a phone call from Carlos looking to set up a photo session on pretty short notice…..for his twin one month old boys! I knew Ally would be pretty excited since we’ve had plenty of babies in the studio and plenty of twins, but no twin babies! We had time available the following day which was exactly 30 days from Harrison and Henry’s birth so it seemed like the planets were aligning! And what a session! Are twin boys double […]
