City Photos and Books, Inc. offers portrait photography that goes beyond traditional studio settings. They photograph on location so that the photograph has more meaning.
City Photos sets itself apart from others by personal service, high-quality images, exciting locations, and creative photo processing. The goal is photographs that have a timeless quality.
Black and white images are a significant component of the photographer’s work. Considerable time is spent individually inspecting each image and processing it to offer the highest quality result. Blemishes are retouched at no additional charge. The personal attention given to each customer, 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 or engaged couple spends time in a local downtown district, it makes sense to take photographs there. Part of the photo process is seeking out interesting and unusual locations with the client.
For special events such as weddings and parties, the goal is to use a photojournalism style of photography. This creates a relaxed setting, producing photos of authentic moments in time, rather than a fully staged production.
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 Ernest Seaholm High School, Birmingham Wylie Groves High School, Bloomfield Hills Andover High School, Bloomfield Hills Lahser High School, Brother Rice High School, Cranbrook, Detroit Country Day School, International Academy, Marian High School, Novi High School, Rochester Adams High School, Rochester High School, Rochester Stoney Creek High School, Roeper School, Troy Athens High School, Troy High School, Royal Oak High School, and West Bloomfield High School.
