Hi, I am Hannah HAnsen
Hi, I’m Hannah, a self-taught photographer with a passion for storytelling, spontaneous adventure, and the beauty of real connection. My loved ones describe me as fun-loving, energetic, free-spirited, and creative, and I bring each of those qualities into every session. Whether we're exploring the outdoors or sharing quiet moments in a cozy space, I use those traits to help you feel relaxed, seen, and celebrated. I believe the best photos come from genuine connection and real emotion, and my goal is always to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera.
 
 
I feel so lucky to do what I do. getting to witness and capture real moments of love, joy, and connection. Being part of these special stories is truly a privilege. Every session reminds me how powerful and beautiful love is, and I’m grateful to help preserve those memories that last a lifetime.
My story
My passion for photography began when my family got our first “family camera.” Eventually, the Rebel T3i became mine, I took it everywhere. Whether I was capturing my basketball games, horses at the barn, or just the landscapes around me, that camera never left my side.
It was my first true outlet for creative expression, and it sparked something in me. Still, I never imagined I could pursue photography professionally. I’d heard the old saying, “If you turn your hobby into a job, you’ll end up hating it,” and it held me back. But I’ve learned, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
When my childhood friend’s mother-in-law asked if I’d photograph her friend’s wedding, I was hesitant, to say the least. She reassured me they just wanted a few photos, nothing too serious. That day ended up pushing me far beyond my comfort zone, and in the best way possible.
After that, my beloved camera became more than just a hobby, it became the foundation of a business. A business that allows me to capture the raw beauty of life and connect with incredible people along the way.
when I'm not behind the camera
 
family
 
Most of my days are spent with my little crew; my husband and our two pups, who keep life full of love, chaos, and plenty of laughs. It’s a bit of an odd couple: a giant, fluffy Great Pyrenees and a spunky French Bulldog, but somehow they’re the perfect pair. Total besties and two peas in a very mismatched pod.
 
 
Thrifting
 
Hand me a coffee and drop me off at a thrift store, pure happiness. Some of my favorite finds (including a few quirky antique cameras now proudly sitting in my collection) have come from treasure hunting through secondhand gems.
 
 
Hiking + Camping
 
Cardio might not be my superpower, but hiking still has my heart. There’s just something about being out in nature that hits the reset button, quiet trails, fresh air, and that peaceful feeling you can’t quite explain but always remember. Add in a cozy campsite, starry skies, and a crackling fire, and I’m in my happy place.
 
 
TRaveling
 
“Catch flights, not feelings?” Why not both?
Traveling is my ultimate happy place. It lets me soak up new cultures, meet amazing people, and chase beautiful light in places I’ve never been. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, connection, and creativity, all rolled into one.
