Doug’s Rant: Twitter Stickers, Photos on Social, Apps Chase Apps

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 […]

The Doug and Ally Morning Show on Periscope!

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 […]

Doug’s Dubious Debut in Sales

I’ve been in sales of some sort for a long time. Almost 25 years actually. I took a long and winding road to get to Frameable Faces Photography where I’ve spent the last seven years with Ally and this is by far the most fun “job” I’ve ever had. It doesn’t feel like work at all most of the time. For years working in a corporate environment I always dreamed of the day when my clients would actually come to me […]

Senior Pictures With Style, Beauty, and Elle-gance!

Our session with Elle definitely produced senior pictures with style, beauty, and Elle-gance!!! This was technically our fourth time photographing Elle – once with her family a couple years ago, once for her spokesmodel session, once for the mural in our window (sometimes I forget to count that) and now her senior pictures! Anticipation for this session was high, and Elle certainly delivered! To Heritage Park We Go… Heritage Park served a couple of purposes on this day. Not only […]

Doug’s Rant – Why Is Social Media “So Quiet”?

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 […]

Doug’s Rant – Why You Should Care About “Google My Business”

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, […]

A Dream 5 Years and Counting!

Yes that status was 5 years ago! It’s hard to believe… Ally’s dream of having a real studio of her own has become a reality and we love doing this together. Humble Beginnings Those who were around us and the mall back then might remember that this really started off as an experiment of sorts. The mall had several vacancies but tenants were starting to move in which at the time was really bucking the trend – this was right […]

Facebook First Aid For Brands – How To Survive The New Changes

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 […]
