New Kids on the Block

Brighton Mine Ranch

The Brighton Mine Ranch is a wonderful venue for Senior and Family Photos. From the picturesque ponds, there are three to choose from, to the country lane that winds through the property with a windmill off to the side, a real buckboard used to take milk into town, a 1946 International truck, and the best of all….the 1959 Red Corvette. When you make your appointment you must specify the Ranch as your choice for location.

The Industrial Age

Sunday, September 12th, is Industrial Day at First City Photo. Make your appointment for that day, and we will meet you at this special place designed to make your senior photos uncommonly good. We will disclose location once appointment is secured! Make your appointment today for one of the eight appointments available.
