About
My passion is working with others to bring ideas to life and capture the special moments that we hold so dearly.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I reside in Washington. Art has always been an important part of my life and photography has always been a passion. I began with graphic design and have made many logos for bands and brands, including my own band’s album art over the years. I primarily work in Adobe Suite and am proficient with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro, to name a few. I have even directed and edited a couple of safety videos for The Home Depot in which I have received awards from the Regional Vice President of the Pacific Northwest. As you will see in my portfolio, I don’t just take traditional portraits. I bring something a little different to the table than your typical photographer. I add art and creativity to a project to make it stand out from anything else.
If you are interested in getting some professional-looking photos, get a website going for your new business, or need an updated logo, contact me down below.
Let’s make something memorable!
What People Are Saying
“If anybody out there needs a website built I highly recommend Derek Hemenway. This guy has jumped through hoops for me to get everything I wanted on my new site just the way I wanted it. Class act A++++. I will also add that he is very reasonable on prices I would have spent more going through other companies and I doubt I would have recieved the customer service that derek gave me. Thank you Derek!”

“I hired DHP to do grad photos for my son. Derek was professional and very helpful with suggested locations and ideas for the photos. I had many pics to choose from and they turned out great. I recommend him to all my family and friends..”
— Mary Lang.
“Hey, Nikki_marie_modeling here! Working with Derek and Cameron were a blast. They had me laughing and feeling at ease in no time. They were professional and had alot of great ideas. Derek, the photographer made sure I was fed by ordering pizza which was a bonus! I am excited to work with them again in the near future. The vision was achieved!.”

After getting vaccinated, it still took me a mo’ to feel ready to “enter the world.” So when a friend of mine called for a model for a photoshoot, I offered. Totally hoping they would choose someone else 😂.I was SO nervous y’all!! Taking photos of my own self is always the absolute worst part of this gig for me. Insecurities, amirite?Here’s the thing, the right photographer and team make *such* a huge difference. Having a clear direction, feeling relaxed, and most importantly having FUN with it!! I’ve not had that experience before in almost every other photo of myself on this feed.So, if you’re in the Southwest WA region and you’re looking for an amazing photographer, please do check out @hemenwayphotography. I’ll be posting more photos that were taken in the following weeks. They’re so good, I legit got emotional.
