We have traveled all around the country and there are a lot of cities we love. My family is originally from New York and I love it there. I love the big city and it really is an incredible place – endless things to do, see and eat. We love Chicago – we have close friends there and it’s a short drive – a ton to do there too. We love D.C. with its monuments and history. Atlanta and Philly […]
Such major sweetness graced us in the studio a few days ago! Meet Princess V! She was 8 days old and all yumminess!!! AND she brought in her two big sisters, too! We were lucky enough to photograph Little Miss L’s newborn photos about 2 years ago – and to say that J and K make some GORGEOUS babies would be a serious understatement! But then again, look at them!! I guess that’s what happens when you have a beautiful […]
For those of you old enough (NOT minors for starters) we thought we would try to make a case for boudoir photography with a blog post, but then a quick search of the web turned up this MUST READ article which makes the point better than we ever could… Yes You Are Beautiful… These sessions are so much fun and memorable. We think the most important point is that boudoir sessions are for YOU! Oh, and yeah – if you […]
Those of you who have been on location with us have very likely met Reflecto. He’s our sometimes rogue, somewhat snarky, and quite often arrogant reflector. He is really a character and while sometimes he gets a little out of line he’s definitely never boring, so we thought we would sit down for an interview with Reflecto and find out what’s on his mind…. FF: Let’s get right to it – it’s been said that you are a sometimes-rogue, […]
Have we mentioned we love our high school seniors? It lights up our day when they come back to visit and as I’m writing this it’s the day before Thanksgiving which means many of our past seniors are home from college! Current Michigan State student and former spokesmodel (not to mention North Farmington Raider alum) Hannah Iwrey spent the morning here with us yesterday and I snapped a droid photo of her and Ally before she left. Affectionately known here […]
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 […]
