Hey there! I’m Hannah! A little bit about me – I’m a photographer based in Spokane, WA. I’m OBSESSED with natural light and those beautiful & silly candid moments.

I’m the loud introvert, with wild brown hair, who while taking your photo will squeal and freak out behind the camera because of how cute y’all are! You can always count on me to laugh at literally any joke you say and to always always (ALWAYS) be down for an ice cream or a trip to Home Goods. I’m an avid cleaner and firm believer of a to-do list. If you really want to know me, know that I am an Enneagram Type 6 (aka a hardcore Loyalist). Creating is my life. It’s what gives me purpose – which is why I’ve coined the phrase “LIVE TO CREATE” as my life motto.

I have a deep LOVE for adventure in the outdoors. On a random day, you’ll find me hanging out with my husbabe Cam (pictured below!) and our pups Honey (dachshund) and Ibis (blue heeler). We love to spend time mountain biking, skiing, hiking, climbing, you name it! We own a Sprinter van and love to travel and see the world a mile at a time. Don’t let that fool you though, I also love pop culture, am a huge Swiftie, keep up fiercely with my own nightly 5-step skincare routine, and am a total homebody. Life’s about balance, right?!

If you’re in the Spokane area, shoot me an email and let me take you for ice cream or a coffee because believe me, I want to meet you!

approach

weddings

Here’s the thing – you do this deal once, I do it all the time. My approach about the wedding planning process – I’ll use my expertise and your authenticity to make planning your wedding day feel easy. I help create a timeline for the day of. If questions or concerns arise, I’m always a phone call away and happy to help. I’ll be your cheerleader and bestie leading up to the wedding. That way, when the big day arrives, our bond will help capture the authentic love between you two.

My approach to the wedding day is capturing the candid moments that happen in between all of the big parts of the day – which is why I never set my camera down. I love capturing moments and not just focus on posing. I’ll watch the way you move, laugh, and share quiet moments with one another. In those seconds, I’ll capture the tenderness of your embrace, loving glances, and perfectly imperfect details.

For formal bridal photos, I’ll position you, suggest a prompt, and capture the moments that follow to keep you at ease. It’s a good mix of making sure you’re looking incredible while also letting moments unfold.

sessions

I want every client who books me to know that my goal is to give you so much more than pretty pictures. While I guide you, I focus on capturing the true essence of your love and connection. This could mean fits of giggling, passionate kisses, long hugs or something totally different! Whether it’s your first time in front of a professional camera at your engagement session, holding your little one close during a family shoot, or a maternity session you booked to capture the current season of your love – I only expect one thing from you: an open heart.

I’m here to help you open your heart to me, my camera, and most importantly, your loved ones. I’ll offer wardrobe advice and send you a list of beautiful Spokane locations to choose from. I’ll tell you at the start of your session to not be afraid to break a pose and kiss if the mood strikes or to let out a deep belly laugh if you feel one coming on. Every story is unique, and I’ve been hired to capture your love in its most authentic form. Whether that’s deep & passionate, quiet & tender or loud & playful, I want you to give me exactly where you’re at in this moment in time.
