Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Northstar Photography and Design is an award winner for photographers in 2019.

If you are looking for a photographer who will personalize your next photo-shoot, look no further than this award-winning company!

Northstar Photography and Design has received many overwhelmingly positive reviews across six different verified sites with an average rating of 4.91 stars, earning them an impressive Rating Score™ of 99.07 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for ranking as one of the top 10 photographers and one of the top 100 businesses in all of Michigan!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“[They] made my senior photos look amazing! They’re both beautiful people who made me feel comfortable right away. I usually do not enjoy being photographed, but this experience was a lot of fun. My mom and I were invited to the studio before the shoot so that [they] could learn more about me. This allowed my personality to actually show in the photos. Northstar truly is a wonderful studio, and I highly recommend it.” – Tiaha J.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Northstar Photography and Design is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Photographer

We were excited to learn all about how Northstar Photography and Design has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with company owner, John Tree. The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Northstar Photography and Design stand apart from their local competitors. With 30 years of photography experience, John says that one of the most important things to keep in mind is to focus on the individual and personalize every experience.

Building Success Through Personalisation

Northstar Photography and Design has used radio, direct mail, Instagram, and Facebook to help market their business, but they have found that face-to-face interactions have been their most valuable form of marketing. John says that Facebook and Instagram are valuable in showing the company’s personality.

We know that there are many businesses out there who could benefit from some expert advice from this award-winning company. Here’s what John has to say to them:

“You have to really make a commitment to yourself that you’re going to be committed to making everybody happy. I will go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy”


Congratulations to Northstar Photography and Design for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to John for taking the time to speak with us!
