Photographer.

I feel that my story is one of creative hobbies and passions. My childhood consisted of budding craft business start-ups, attending drawing and calligraphy classes, and competing in sewing competitions. During this time, I couldn't get enough of design and color, how brush or pen met paper to create "art." In high school, I was gifted my first camera, and I began documenting my home life with at-home videos and portraits of friends. It wasn't until the loss of someone close to me at age 17, that I quickly realize how important it is to document your loved ones and real moments. It was around this time that I explored film photography for the first time.

My artistic journey continued at Northern Arizona University where I majored in visual communication with an emphasis in graphic design. I continued my education to a Masters in Anthropology (the study of culture). My experience during my masters included managing two innovation labs. During 2019-2020, My team and I explored how virtual reality and esports positivity influenced education and engagement among students. All through these years, photography has stayed as a lasting love in my life. Since 2016, the camera has been instrumental in telling my story as well as the stories of others.

Let me help document the real moments.

The day after my now husband asked me to marry him, I sent Hannah a message and asked her to photograph my wedding. Having seen previous shoots showing Hannah's natural style, I couldn't wait for her to shoot at our wedding! Hannah has the ability to capture moments during the day that last a mere second, yet have such great sentimental value as we now look back. As a person, she is the definition of energy and enthusiasm, and this is all brought out in her work. We honestly could not recommend her more!

I can’t speak enough about Hannah’s work. Hannah is the most talented, creative, and easy-to-get-along with photographer we have used. She did an amazing job and we love how the pictures came out. We are excited to use her again for our complete family pictures, coming up this fall.
