Sal is a smashing young lad to be sure. We were excited to get this call since we have photographed many members of Sal’s family before including his two older siblings, but this was our first time photographing Sal. And….we got to do it ON his first birthday! What an honor to be able to spend some time with someone on their very first birthday!!! That’s about as good as it gets. We photograph plenty of first birthday sessions but […]
A is for awesome, astounding, admirable, amazing and it’s also for Abby and the A game she brought to her senior session which had a little of all of those aforementioned and appropriate words when describing the results. Haha – see what I did there? The whole relationship started off in hilarious fashion when Abby and her mom Sharon walked into the studio for the first time and busted us doing our zany “Sir Doug & Lady Ally” Periscope act […]
Ryan’s session is the first official senior guy session for the class of 2017 and he definitely led the way in style! We have known Ryan for a long time but not well – one of those things where we’ve known his family and more specifically his mom Jodie going back to high school days. We photographed him before when we did family photos for them, but this was the first time we really hung out with Ryan for an […]
Where do we begin with Taria and her EPIC senior session in the city – the city of Chicago that is!!! Okay let’s start with Periscope – impossible not to start there… We met Taria’s mom LaTannya on Periscope about a year ago and loved her right away. She’s hilarious and we started hanging out in each other’s broadcasts which led to a visit to our studio when she was in Detroit with her sweetheart of a daughter Taria! That […]
There is always something special about our first official senior photo session of a new class – we love photographing seniors and the first session signals so many things for us – new friendships, a new summer, and tons of fun! Mikaela was no exception on all three fronts – great girl (and great mom Jill), great summer day, and lots of fun! A Session of Firsts… Not only was the session fun but it represented some true firsts for […]
Yes it’s been a while since I’ve posted a rant! Let’s do this…. Twitter Stickers You may have seen Twitter’s recent announcement about the new “stickers” feature which allows you to add emojis and other things to your photos. Fortune points out the obvious play on Twitter’s part to keep up with Snapchat with a headline that gives the new feature a positive spin. Meanwhile the Wall Street Journal is completely and inexplicably oblivious to the chasing of snapchat with a slightly-less-than-flattering headline […]
Hey Now! That’s usually how we start our morning show with those Larry Sanders Show / Howard Stern inspired words, and off we go…. The Doug and Ally Morning Show! We have been broadcasting live on Periscope since April 2015 and somewhere along the way the “Doug&Ally Morning Show” became a thing. It wasn’t planned. It was early on an October morning, we weren’t doing much here at the studio and we thought it would be interesting to jump on […]
You have probably seen the canvas of the beautiful little dancer on the wall by my desk in the studio if you’ve spent time here at Frameable Faces. That’s Elona – one of our favorite little cuties in Frameable Faces history! We love when she comes by to visit every now and then – she is one of the brightest kids we know and she never ceases to surprise me with her insights every time we have a conversation. So […]
When Dena came to the studio and we started chatting we discovered that we had a couple things in common. A couple mutual friends, sons similar ages – stuff like that. The usual fun stuff. So we got to discussing the session during the consultation with the usual details, what to wear, what color backdrops and those sorts of things. We looked at Saturday May 21st as the date for the session and she said that’s cool – it’s the […]
We are excited for you to meet Alan! We were certainly excited to meet him once we got the call that he would be “bringing” his family with him to the studio 5 days after he entered the world! We had a session scheduled for that Saturday afternoon but nothing in the morning so it worked out nicely. With newborn babies you have a short window where they are still newborn and the earlier they can come to the studio […]
