This was Bethany’s second session with me, and this empowering birthday session was a gift to herself. Um, yes, please! I cannot think of a better birthday gift than to honor your body like this. 

Bethany came into my studio confident and with a vision of her own. She is the first client I’ve had who brought a blunt to smoke and the images are STUNNING. I invite all my clients to feel free to be themselves in the space we are creating together, and I LOVE that she took that to heart. 

After her session, Bethany reflected on how connected she felt to her body and how “the effects on your body, mind, and soul after a session are so beneficial.” I am HERE for that kind of reaction to a shoot. I want to celebrate a deep connection to self and admiration of what our bodies represent with each of my clients. 

If you are ready to find connection with your body, to celebrate your sensuality and creativity, and to discover new confidence in yourself, reach out and let’s work together. Like Bethany said after her empowering birthday session, “take the risk, book the session!” I can’t wait to see you in my studio.

What made you choose us for your session? 🙂

I just knew I had to come back again! The first session happened because I was approached by you, but the second one was the first time I booked you by myself! And what better day than my 28th birthday to do it hehe.

What were you the most nervous about coming into your session?

I booked my session in November 2021 and was SO excited to come in for my birthday session after waiting a full year so I can honestly say I was not nervous about a thing. Hannah and Kara create a space that is SO welcoming and inclusive, I feel fully capable of allowing myself to be genuine and free.

How do you feel now that you’ve completed the session?

I feel truly myself which is such a relief after going through a weird patch in mid-Nov. This session just snapped me back into something I had pushed off, focusing on myself. I think having my session on my birthday was the best gift I’ve ever given me! I feel proud to know that my body has made it another year around the sun and I was so lucky to be celebrating with Kara and Hannah, two people I love fiercely. The after effects on your body, mind, and soul from a session are extremely beneficial because they stick with you. You feel confident and connected to yourself when you see a new side of yourself. Two weeks later, I am still feeling as incredible as I did on the day of the session! I cannot wait to book again soon.

What was your favorite part of the session?

I am honored that I was the first one to bring in the blunt! Weed has healed me in many different ways and I am very thankful that Hannah let me include it into the session. The pics were UNREAL.

What, if anything, could have been improved about your session?

The literal only wish I have looking back is having a Twix waiting for me at the end LOL! I was high and HUNGRY! But seriously, wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Do you have any advice for people looking to book their own session?

I wish there was a way to let people feel how amazing it feels after your session! Because if people knew how incredible it felt to be THAT connected to yourself, everyone would be booking themselves a shoot ASAP. Seeing yourself in a different light can be scary or uncomfortable. But that is truly the best part! Take the risk, book the session!

Would you recommend us to a friend?

Absolutely. In fact, I can’t stop telling everyone I know!

Read Bethany’s review here:

I highly recommend booking Hannah for a session because the images she creates are pieces of art that you’ll treasure forever. Hannah’s photography is such an artistic form of photography that celebrates the human body through sensuality, beauty, and genuine love. Hannah is an inclusive and emotionally intelligent individual with an amazing eye for creativity. If you’re looking for a person to trust and guide you through stepping out of your comfort zone for a session, you have found the BEST person to do it with.
