The City of Rochester is using photos from our Rochester, Michigan Photographs book and calendar on the City's new web site. The City of Royal Oak Downtown Development Authority's web site also has and continues to feature one or more of my photographs from my Royal Oak books.

Portraits of High School Seniors and Families

City Photos and Books, Inc. is pleased to announce that it now offers portrait photography in the metro Detroit region.  Our goal is to capture people in comfortable clothes and familiar surroundings. If the location has meaning to the client, the photographs will have more relevance and create a lasting memory.

City Photos sets itself apart from others by personal service, high-quality images, exciting locations, and creative photo processing. The goal is for our photographs to have a timeless quality.

Black and white images are a significant component of the photographer’
s work. Each image is individually inspected and processed to provide the highest quality result. Blemishes are retouched at no additional charge. The personal attention given to each client, from creative processing to the quality composition of the images, produces photographs that are classic.

Typical photo session locations include downtowns, parks, and back yards. If a high school senior has great memories spending time with friends in a local downtown district, it makes sense to take photographs there.

The portrait service of City Photos and Books, Inc. is priced using a simple, easy-to-understand approach. There is no forceful salesperson pressuring clients to buy packages they don’t need. The photo experience is designed to be relaxing and enjoyable.

For senior portraits, students from the following high schools are expected to be part of our initial coverage area: Birmingham Seaholm High School, Birmingham Groves High School, Bloomfield Hills Andover High School, Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School, Brother Rice High School, Cranbrook, Detroit Country Day School, Farmington Harrison High School, Farmington High School, International Academy, Marian High School, North Farmington High School, Novi High School, Rochester Adams High School, Rochester High School, Rochester Stoney Creek High School, Roeper School, Southfield High School, Southfield-Lathrup High School, Troy Athens High School, Troy High School, Royal Oak High School, and West Bloomfield High School. Many additional locations will be included.
