Playing it kool with Kyliel is just what we did when he came to the studio for his senior pictures. He is a unique kid in a good way – soft spoken, plenty of style and a great look. He came in with his grandmother who is just a sweetheart and she told us his story – this young man has overcome plenty of obstacles and for his family they look at him as a real life Superman! Indeed, Superman’s […]
For those of you who don’t follow social media news closely there has been a lot going on in the last couple weeks after what I thought was a relatively quiet period. Periscope was officially launched for the iPhone and it is going to change the world again in my opinion, much like Facebook, twitter and some of the others have. As usual things are moving fast and it’s exciting, so here is what you need to know (so far) about […]
Why is social media so quiet lately? It just doesn’t seem to me that there has been a lot going on. Let me explain. For a few solid years there it seemed like it was the “golden age” of major platforms – such as: Facebook Pages switched over to “likes” from fans in April 2010 a month after we set up the Frameable Faces page. Instagram launched on October 6th, 2010 and we joined it in May of 2012. Pinterest launched in April […]
It’s been a while since I “ranted”. We have had a very busy summer photographing seniors and planning and celebrating our son’s bar mitzvah so all I have been really able to think about for blogging is keeping up with sharing our wonderful seniors of the class of 2015. There are plenty of seniors to come as we are just getting started with a whole new round of “fall color” seniors, and we will also be sharing some bar mitzvah […]
It seems that you should care about Google Plus and now the new “Google My Business” after all, especially if you are a small business owner. Google’s social media network (they prefer to call it a “layer”) has been around since June of 2011. Google Plus is not as popular as Facebook but it’s still Google and it’s not going anywhere. Does this mean you have to participate and get immersed in yet another social media platform? Not quite. However, […]
Relay For Life West Bloomfield 2014 was another successful and meaningful day for Team Frameable Faces! This year we set out with a goal of raising at least $1500 to fight cancer and we are happy to say we reached our goal! Our friend and member of our team Kelly Taylor who manages the Orchard Mall joined our family for the team lap at the beginning of the day in the photo above. This year’s theme for Relay was “Relaywood” […]

Photogenic is defined as “suitable for being photographed: likely to photograph well”. It seems about half of the people who come to Frameable Faces warn us that we are going to have a tough time with their session because they are NOT photogenic. Usually we just tell them we can’t help because we just don’t want the burden of trying to make such bad looking people look good. It’s probably hopeless right? WRONG!!!!!!! Some people will go on and explain […]
