BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT 
Hannah

Ever-focused on light and the thrilling art of creation; found in the perfectly, imperfect moments of real life.

My goal every time I pick up my camera is to create an atmosphere that invites my subjects to show up as their honest and truest selves allowing me to capture the feeling of this irreplaceable moment in time. Storytelling is at the heart of it all, and being entrusted to capture that for my couples will forever be one of the greatest honors.
