Hello
I hope you all love this awkward close up of me. Anyway, my name's Hannah and I'm a photographer from Minnesota! I recently graduated from the University of Michigan, where I studied art & design. Photography has always been an integral part of my life, and I began booking clients when I was in early high school. I absolutely love photography and feel so lucky to be doing this as my job! <3
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if I want a
longer session? ​
According to my pricing model, model, you can keep going and book as many hours as you’d like.
​
How do I pay?
I do ask for a $100 deposit to prevent no shows. This needs to be paid upfront and goes toward reserving your spot on your calendar and preventing no shows. I will hold your spot for 1 week after I send the invoice. The rest of the payment needs to be completed in order to receive your edited gallery. I will send an invoice via Quickbooks to your email for all parts of the payment.
Does my session time include driving time?
Your total session time does NOT include driving time between locations as long as the distance is less than 30 minutes. It generally does not include the time it takes to change outfits. However, I try to time the sessions with the lighting, so if you take an excessively long time to change, it will start to eat into our time. Please do not plan on re-doing make-up or hair during these outfit changes beyond slight touch ups.
​​
Can I bring a guest to
my session?
Guests are absolutely welcome at the shoot! I just ask that they avoid directing or posing the senior, as what I see through the lens can be quite different than what’s visible to the eye. I totally understand wanting everything to go perfectly; we’re on the same page there. If you notice something small, like a hair out of place or a twisted skirt, feel free to speak up. Otherwise, I need to be the one guiding the session to ensure the best possible results.
Where will I change
my outfit?
Outfit changes will generally occur in your car, or public restrooms. Please plan accordingly.
​
Where can the shoot
take place?
I am based out of the Western Minneapolis suburbs. Anything beyond a 30 minute drive from this area may be subject to additional fees to cover the cost of travel and time lost. I have a handful of recommendations for this area. If you need help selecting locations, please let me know!
​​
What do we do if the weather is bad?
I promise to make the most out of your session, cloudy or sunny, beautiful photos are possible in all kinds of weather and some of my best work is done with overcast skies. If conditions are safe and workable, I ask that we stick to your originally scheduled date. My calendar fills quickly, and rescheduling can be very difficult during busy seasons. For these reasons, I can no longer offer complimentary rescheduling for cloudy conditions. Thanks for understanding and trusting me to capture something special no matter what the skies are doing!
​
Why are the 2024 prices different from the 2025?
This is my full-time job, and I pour everything into it — not just during sessions, but behind the scenes too. Because I only have a short season to take on work, and because demand has grown, I’ve adjusted my pricing to reflect the real time, effort, and care that goes into each client experience.
Thank you for supporting a one-person business and respecting the work it takes to make this sustainable.
