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 […]
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 […]
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? […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
You’ve heard the saying “Boys will be boys”? These guys were no exception! But they were completely and totally adorable! Lots of laughs and LOTS of personality! Mom was a bit worried that we wouldn’t “get anything good” from this session and she warned us before the session that the boys might give us a hard time. But since we’re complete “professionals,” we were able to get some awesome expressions! You know how we do it… silly words and of […]
If you’ve ever met Doug, you’ll know that he’s a total music freak. There are very few people our age that can even come close to his eclectic tastes and can have the level of music knowledge to have a conversation about it. And then came these guys….. When we met “M”, we knew that she was an exceptionally cool, down-to-earth girl. Then when we had the photo session and she came in with bags, yes BAGS, of clothes for […]
What a fun family to be able to photograph! From the moment we met S, we knew it was going to be a fun one! There are lots of fun stories that have come out of this session, and when we say that we laughed and laughed…we really did! C and S are some seriously amazing sisters with an amazing dad. Brilliant, beautiful and so freakin’ funny!!! This family kept Ally on her toes with their fun antics, awesome […]
We ordered up a perfect day for this session with a family we’ve known for a long long time, and it was a blast! The boys had a lot of fun clowning around (which provided for some hilarious outtakes) and we had so much fun photographing them. We were actually the first people to randomly bump into them on an Ann Arbor sidewalk minutes after they got engaged years ago, and now they are a complete family!
