Capturing Cara has become plenty fun for us here – she is a current spokesmodel for the class of 2018 so you may have seen her here before on her spokesmodel session, and she rocked her return! Cara’s brother Ben was a Frameable senior as well and parents Gina and Kenny round out a great family! Gina came on the session with us and we knew we’d be in for a fun time as long as the weather held up […]
We are on a roll with those West Bloomfield Lakers right now and these sessions have been killer! But more importantly these seniors have been awesome and Justin is no exception. Justin brought the whole fam-tourage with him and everyone had fun. Actually Justin’s mom Christin had been to the studio for her own shots a while back so this was a fun reunion of sorts. Justin was still in the thick of preparing for the football season at “The Swamp” […]
Yes we are huge fans of Lauren and her mom Gabrielle, and it’s been so much fun having Lauren represent our studio as a spokesmodel for the class of 2018! Her spokesmodel session was truly epic and we spent much of it in Detroit at the old Michigan Building and around Eastern Market. It was one of those sessions that sticks out for sure – just awesome. So we had a slight dilemma – we loved exploring around Detroit and […]
How to build a senior….. Hmmmmm. Well we’d start with some nice, add some smart, toss in a dose of passion, maybe some good looks (but that’s an optional ingredient), and we’d wrap it in a great family before we pop it in the oven to bake. And hey look! It appears we would build Nick! Nick is a guy you just want to be around – just an all around good dude who is smart and dedicated as all […]
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. […]
Recently I wrote an article here on the blog comparing and contrasting live streaming platforms to help people make some informed choices on which platform to consider between Facebook Live and Periscope for different types of strategies. It’s a solid piece if I do say so myself and I enlisted 4 people in the social media / entrepreneurial game I respect to include their take. That article is still on point and relevant, but this is basically a part 2 digging into […]
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 […]
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 […]
