Photos by Kes, founded in 2008, is based in Kansas.
We have a staff of two: Dale Kesterson Hingle and Heather (Jewell) Johnson.
Dale Kesterson Hingle received an Argus box camera as a gift at the age of 7, which started a life-long love of photography. (She’s been taking photos for over 50 years now.) She, in turn, gave her daughter, Heather Johnson, a camera at approximately the same age – and discovered that there must be a gene for photography! They became professional photographers in 2008 and now accept photography assignments both separately and as a team.
From Dale:
Heather and I turned professional after hearing horror stories about the cost of wedding photos. Since 2008, we have (together and separately) photographed weddings, reunions, generational portraits, family barbeques, as well as anything interesting that wanders by our lenses. This site finally gives us a place to showcase our work, and we do have selected photo prints available. No gathering is too small or unimportant for a consultation – or if you simply want to update that family photo for your next holiday card – and we do travel when we can (within reason, of course).
If you are interested in one of the prints or have an event coming up,
please get in touch with us using the Contact Us page!
