Hi, I’m Hannah - a wedding and lifestyle photographer in New York City and beyond.
Before you get to know me as a photographer - here is a little about me as a person.
It's me, hi (:
Originally from the south, (I have called New Orleans, NC + SC my home) my husband Kyle and I recently relocated to New York City and we could not be more excited for this chapter! We're big homebodies, and are really enjoying exploring our new home with our two dogs Enzo and Ricky. When we aren't at home with our pups we love traveling and exploring new places, currently we're working our way through all the national parks.
I am a (mediocre) runner, an occasional concert goer, and usually the loudest person at family game nights. I have big big emotions - and I am a hopeless romantic at heart + I will 100% cry at your wedding. I'm a big Swiftie, a very shameless dog mom, and I love a good documentary.
I am a big fan of speaking openly about mental health + therapy. I am a passionate in advocating for human rights. I am a big believer in being a good human, showing compassion + remembering that we are all just out here doing our best.

Who I am as a photographer:
I have loved photography most of my life, I don’t really remember a time when I didn’t have a camera in hand. My passion for photography and my purpose in preserving memories took on a whole new meaning a few years ago after losing a person who I loved deeply. What I know to be true is that life is too short, and one day the people love will leave this earth and all we will have to remember them by are the photographs that they are in - and the memories that those photos bring back. The magnitude of my job + the role that I play in creating those photos for my clients is never lost on me. It’s an honor to do what I do, and I take great pride and responsibility in it - your memories are safe with me.

How I approach storytelling:
I have a photojournalistic approach - while still taking the time to make sure we get the “formal” photos that are important to you. On wedding days I like to take a step back and give you space to be you so that true candid moments can be captured. I consider photography to be the art of observing - observing the little details, the in between moments, and the moments that unfold around you without you even knowing. But don’t worry - I won’t leave you hanging to figure it out on your own. I will still be guiding and prompting you throughout your session - but always leaving enough space to let you be you.
We might be a good fit if:
- you want a photographer that is deeply invested in you + your photos - not just someone who shows up and takes photos
- you want a more laid back + candid approach vs a production of over-posed moments.
- the moments captured are more important than a "perfect photo"
- you like my style of photography, my edits and you can truly envision yourself in my photos
