Behind the
Adventure Lens
Where Stories Meet Adventure
Hi, I’m Hannah — a photographer, mom to three young boys, an outdoorsy adventurer, a type-A planner, and a lifelong memory keeper.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: life moves quickly, and the moments we live — big and small — are worth remembering. Photographs have a way of turning fleeting experiences into something tangible, something you can return to again and again.
How It All Began
For me, adventure and photography have always been closely linked. Long before kids, my husband John and I traveled to fifteen countries together, always dreaming up the next place we wanted to explore. Travel made the world feel bigger and smaller all at once — full of possibility, perspective, and story.
When we had our first child, we wondered if that chapter of adventure had come to an end.
Instead, we discovered something unexpected: with a little persistence and flexibility, adventure doesn’t disappear — it evolves. Exploring the world as a family became not only possible, but deeply rewarding. Seeing places through our kids’ eyes changed the way we experience both travel and everyday life, and adventure became one of our family’s core values.
My Approach to Photography
That same mindset shapes how I photograph people.
Photography sessions don’t need to feel stressful or performative to be meaningful. I focus on creating experiences that feel easy, relaxed, and enjoyable, where you can be present and simply be yourself. I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, but the real magic happens in the in-between moments — movement, connection, laughter, and quiet pauses.
Whether we’re documenting family life, a relationship, a milestone, or an adventure-inspired session, my goal is always the same: to capture how this season felt, not just how it looked.
What adventure Means Here
Adventure doesn’t have to mean going far or doing something extreme.
Sometimes it’s traveling somewhere new.
Sometimes it’s stepping outside your routine.
Sometimes it’s simply choosing to slow down and be present together.
Through both my photography and this space, I want to encourage people to embrace experiences — to step into life with curiosity and confidence, and to preserve the memories that matter most along the way.
Let me tell your story.
Whether you’re marking a milestone, documenting everyday life, or capturing an adventure — big or small — I’d love to do it with you.
Your life is an adventure. Let’s capture it together.
