Hi there, I’m Hannah.
I love taking photos and meeting new people.
My fascination with colors, design, and composition began with a love of film. I grew up in a family that loved movies. My parents showed me movies that had interesting screenplays, fun soundtracks, and beautiful cinematography.
The first time I can remember thinking “Hey, images are cool. I want to know how to do this,” was in middle school watching O’ Brother Where Art Thou. I would pause the movie so that I could look at the scenes as still frames. The way that movie so perfectly captured the raw beauty of the American south kickstarted my interest in photography.
I bought my first film camera in high school and started photographing my friends and family whenever I could. I went to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia to pursue my BFA with a focus in photography. Learning about photographers like Sally Mann and Emmet Gowin in college inspired me to develop my portrait photography career. After getting my degree, I headed back south to New Orleans.
New Orleans is one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been and it was a dream of mine to pursue photography there. I worked for a couple of photographers in New Orleans, then took the plunge and began my own business.
In 2019, I moved back to my hometown Memphis, TN where I continue to build my business, adding weddings, ‘porchtraits’*, and interior shoots to my book of services.
*During the pandemic, I offered family ‘porchtrait’ sessions to photograph families in front of their homes in a safe way.
a few things:
I’ve watched the entire Sex & the City series over 20 times
I love a good porch cocktail
I’m very into games (board games, cards games, you name it)
Some might say I’m a Professional Karaoke Singer
I could listen to Jagged Little Pill on repeat
I’m a sucker for a good Christmas Movie

“Being photographed by Hannah was an absolute joy. From booking the session, to location selection, to the actual shoot, Hannah made it easy and fun. We received our photos so quickly and were blown away by how many quality shots she got of us. She makes it seem effortless, but she is truly just that good.”

"She truly captures our personalities."
“We love Hannah! She always does such an amazing job making us feel comfortable and is so fun to brainstorm locations with. Hannah has photographed many major family milestones for us; from our maternity shoot to our first holiday photos and her work always turns out better than I could have imagined. Hannah captures the personality of our family and we have her photos framed throughout our home! We are so lucky to have Hannah as our family photographer and can't say enough good things about her.”

"Hannah is extremely collabortive."
“Hannah did a phenomenal job capturing my Little Rock, AR design project. She traveled and still arrived promptly, was extremely collaborative and suggested interesting ways to capture some of my favorite details of the project. Truly an amazing experience and I can’t wait to work together again!

"She's a magician with a camera."
After having a baby, I knew that I wanted special family moments and milestones professionally documented. My husband and I are both pretty awkward in front of a camera. Hannah is a true magician with a camera, but her best trick is making you feel confident and carefree being photographed. We plan to use Hannah for as many family photos as we can in the future!”

"Hannah makes you forget you're being photographed!"
“I am extremely camera shy, but love photos of my children and feel that it is important to document them as they grow and change. Hannah has a way of making you forget you are even being photographed! She was fun and made everyone laugh throughout the whole session. We cannot wait to book her again!”
