The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Absolutely!! I am Metro Detroit Based and work out of two different preferred studio locations in Downtown Rochester, or Romeo Michigan.
BUT love traveling near or far!!!!
I love to absorb new places and new culture so .
So please don't hesitate to ask for travel for sessions or travel packages for weddings!
How long have you been doing this?
I had a camera in my hand since I was super little, always capturing the family moments at gatherings.
Highschool I was in yearbook, newspaper and journalism photographing all things for the school publications/mediums.
I graduated and while in college set on going in to medical; I was taking it more serious amongst family and friends for there special moments. But I slowly started to lose my interest in college and took a break. Working full time at a diner, photographing on the side self teaching myself more, and newly engaged. I finally found the hidden joy in photographs going through my wedding planning and how I could make this a career.
2018 the year I got married is the year I officially launched Hess Image & Co.
