Joe and Kelly Derocher have been working together in the photography business since 1988, and thus have developed a strong partnership in creating photographic images for their clients. Each contributes his or her own personality and talents, creating a complementary working relationship that results in lifelike photographs. This skilled partnership allows Joe and Kelly to create photographic experiences that lead to long-term relationships, with their clients calling Photographic Visions "our family photographer."

Having started his photography career in 1981, Joe Derocher has more than 20 years of photographic experience. Joe worked for a large custom portrait studio for many years before starting Photographic Visions. Joe's work has earned many awards, including the Detroit Professional Photographers' Association "Photographer of the Year", many blue ribbons in competition, top honors in the state of Michigan, and the coveted Kodak "Gallery Award". His images have traveled in the prestigious Loan Collection exhibit, have been published in the Professional Photographers of America Loan Collection, and have been displayed at Kodak's pavilion at Disney's Epcot Center. Although the awards are prestigious, Joe's greatest satisfaction comes from pleasing his clients.

Kelly Derocher is also an award-winning photographer, having been in the photography business since 1988. Kelly adds a "woman's touch" to photographs, with an eye for detail and artistry. She truly enjoys photographing people, finding that each wedding, family, or child is a unique photographic experience. Kelly most recently received the Award of Excellence for her wedding album entered in the Detroit Professional Photographer's Association 2004 wedding album competition.
