THE FACE BEHIND THE CAMERA

Hi, I’m Robert Boos — photographer, storyteller, husband, and dad, based in Clarkston, Michigan.

I’m a Marine Corps veteran. I served from 2000 to 2004, and those years shaped how I see the world: show up, pay attention, and don’t miss the moment in front of you. After the Marines, I spent a few years finishing school and figuring out who I was. Then I found photography, and I knew I’d found what I was meant to do.

Family is a big part of why I do this. I met my wife, Jodi, at a bowling alley, and we’ve been together about ten years now. She has two sons, and we’re grandparents to two granddaughters. Watching the boys grow up and seeing our granddaughters change so fast taught me how quickly these moments pass — and why it’s so important to capture them while they’re here.

I photograph weddings, seniors, and families across Southeast Michigan. My approach is simple: a little gentle direction when you need it, then I step back and let the real moments happen. The best photographs aren’t always the ones where everyone is looking at the camera. They’re the ones that bring you right back to how it felt to be there.

Now that you know a little about me, I’d love to learn about you — and capture your story.
