About Me

Hi, I’m Hannah — photographer, creative partner, and your behind-the-scenes strategist.

I’ve spent the last 7+ years behind the camera, building a career rooted in storytelling, trust, and visuals that actually work. But before all of that, I was a kid growing up in the Detroit area — watching America’s Next Top Model reruns on YouTube and pausing the screen every time Nigel Barker appeared just to figure out how he made his images click.

From a young age, I was drawn to movement, expression, and the many emotions possible to express through visual forms. Ballet was my first creative language — and eventually, photography became the next. I shot my first paid session as a high school sophomore, and never really stopped. Over the years, I’ve photographed everything from senior portraits to commercial campaigns, and my work has been published in Bello Magazine and Mob Journal.

In 2019, I had the chance to attend Coco Rocha’s Model Camp as a student photographer — an experience that sharpened my posing direction and deepened my understanding of what truly elevates a portfolio. That same mindset continues to shape my approach: whether you're building a brand or booking agency work, I’m always thinking about what the image needs to do — and how we get you there.

Since then, my career has taken me from Michigan to the mountains of Idaho and Utah. I’ve been married for two years to my favorite person, and we’re currently preparing for a new adventure in Latvia for the Fall/Winter Season.

When We Work Together

You’re not just hiring a photographer. You’re getting a creative partner with a deep respect for craft, communication, and visual storytelling that feels like you. I’ll guide you every step of the way — from wardrobe and location ideas to lighting, posing, and considering how your images will actually live in the world. Whether they’re going in a frame, on a feed, or in front of an agency, they should do something.

I work with clients who value visuals that reflect vision — people who want more than standard, and are in it for creative work that lasts.

If that’s you, I can’t wait to connect.

XOXO Hannah Bethany
