I’m known for photographing “Real” people (as opposed to  professional models) for businesses brochures and ads, keeping it real.  I enjoy working with people, helping them relax, be comfortable in front of the camera. It’s the best way to make them look their best.

I was talking with a friend of mine in the next county, that photographs weddings and portraits. He was telling me how busy he was with high school seniors . So I looked at the studios in Oakland County, and found that while some are very good, many are just not at the level that I would want my kid’s pictures to be, even though the prices they were charging for them were substantial.

Now I’m not opposed to paying for quality, but I expect great quality for my money. It’s only reasonable to expect experienced, professional services, when hiring someone to do a job and to do it better then one could do for themselves.  With so many Newbies, SMACs (soccer moms and camera, no offense, Mom), Uncle Harrys, hanging a shingle and calling themselves professionals,  I saw an opportunity.  I decided to take my 25+ years of professional photography experience and design a new studio dedicated to raising the bar in quality and services to the High School Senior Picture market, thus Highlights Studios.

I’m building a new website as well, http://www.highlights.net/.
