I held out against the idea of doing an email newsletter for a looooonnnnnnnnggg time. I wanted no part of it. I thought “who wants to get another email in their folder” and I was feeling pretty good about our social media and online marketing as it was. So let’s go through my thought process – how and why my opinion changed and what led me to start an email newsletter. A Little Side of SPAM with your email perhaps…? […]
Yes we care-a ’bout Cara and we have for a few years now!!! She’s a legacy spokesmodel – technically her brother Ben is still a spokesmodel for the current class of 2017 while Cara is representing us for the upcoming class of 2018! It’s funny because while Ben and our Lacey are really close friends, Cara and our Tony claim they are the “better version” of Ben and Lacey…. haha! As for Cara herself this is a girl with great […]
Inner charm, outer beauty, inner beauty, outer charm – all of it – Charity channels it! Charity is another North Farmington Raider which is always a bonus for us as fellow Raider alums and we had a fantastic session with her! Charity had to be a champ because it was chilly out – really chilly (how many words can Doug squeeze into this blog post that begin with “ch”?). But she stuck it out and delivered some pure awesomeness in […]
Here we go moving right along with the upcoming class of 2018 as Sami spokesmodels and slays! We are pretty excited for Sami as we are with all of the members of our new crew so far, and with this session we are particularly excited because we ventured out to a new location we’ve never been to and boy was it worth it! Ally had the idea to give Mill Race Park a try in Commerce, and what a cool […]
This was truly a special delivery in more ways than one. You may recall our “Nikon Girl” Angela’s maternity session here on the blog, and if you’ve been following her story you may already know that Ally was there to photograph the birth of Angela and Cam’s beautiful baby girl Aubrey… here is the photo essay from our YouTube channel from that amazing day: 6 days later marked Aubrey’s arrival in the studio for her newborn session and it was […]
When we say we’re kicking off our class of 2018 spokesmodels we actually mean we’re kicking it off! With a kicker – a female kicker! We are thrilled to have Olivia representing our studio and this is always an exciting time for us as we start to look towards the upcoming senior class which we’ll start photographing in earnest this summer. Some our favorite people of all time and very close friends started out as spokesmodels going all the way […]
As you know social media is my thing. I spend the majority of my time creating content to put out online for our studio and other businesses from time to time. I train people on how to use social media and very often the photography business leads to discussions about branding with our clients who come here for professional headshots to market themselves. So it makes sense for me to write articles on the things I learn about smallbiz marketing […]
This month we decided it was time to go back to school! Because like, we really miss college. Okay well not exactly – we embarked on the 2017 Frameable Faces Campus Tour which was our third one! We did campus tours back in 2013 and 2015 – not necessarily by design although the bi-annual approach may work going forward. We’ll see since they are pretty darn fun. You see we love our high school seniors and we miss them […]
Okay so let me explain… Many of you know our event photographer Angela aka “Nikon Girl”. Angela has been with us since she walked into the studio on February 11th, 2011 asking if we were looking for a photographer. She was still a photography student then but she had her little portfolio with her and Ally saw something in her photos, so we kidnapped her that very day and took her on location with us. She just fit. She’s always […]
This isn’t the first time I’ve written about our daughter Lacey on this blog. She represented our studio this year as a senior spokesmodel and we already did one epic session with her in downtown Detroit. This time around it’s her senior session and it’s a good thing I’m writing this post because if Ally tried she’d probably be an emotional mess. It goes fast – really fast, and here we are – it’s been 17 and a half years […]
