Testimonials
“First off, HIGHLY recommend. On time, friendly, on schedule and keeps you on schedule! Her and her 2nd shooter didn’t miss a thing. I told her my now husband and I had different styles of photography and she captured both our styles perfectly! I told her I wanted to capture all the little details that people forget, that make the day, and the little moments, little looks we give each other etc. she captured our love so well in her photography. Beautiful photos, great quality and we will be booking all life things with her. She’s a good one! And she was so fast getting photos to us!”
-Samantha Koehler
“Hanna took my fiance and Is engagement photos and I wouldn't change a thing. She is so good at her craft, the photos are beautiful. My fiance and I are not picture takers and really had no idea what we were doing, she gave direction that made us feel comfortable and produced beautiful pictures. I would recommend her to anyone.”
-Aley Calvert
“The experience we had with Hanna was an absolute 10/10! Not only were our engagement and wedding photos absolutely breathtaking, but the support she administered throughout was exceptional. She helped us to feel comfortable and any crazy ideas I had for photos, she brought them to life! We shared so many laughs throughout the whole process, even with the weather being super cold during our engagement photos, we had such a wonderful time. And don’t even get me started with the help we received the day of the wedding. Every. Single. Detail. Was captured on my wedding day. Even things I can look back on now and say, “OMG, I forgot I had that on or I forgot we did that!” She also offered assistance for things not even picture related because she was so wonderful. So, if you’re having second doubts? Please don’t. You won’t regret it. ❤️”
-Chanell Joyner
“Hanna does an amazing job! Getting your pictures taken can be awkward, but she did a great job of putting my husband and I at ease while we waited to see her vision come to life. She truly has an eye for photography, and she’ll be my first call when i’m in need for a photographer from now on! :)”

“Hanna is truly a phenomenal photographer and makes a vision come to life. She did so good on my husband and I’s engagement photos and wedding photos. She’s so sweet, and never makes you feel awkward, but makes you feel at ease while taking your photos. She will be my go-to photographer when I need photos done now 😊”

She works so well with all ages and personalities. And you can tell she’s always looking for the next best shot so she can capture all the important moments! She’s a great and honest person, you couldn’t hire anyone better.”

She thinks outside the box for backgrounds, poses, and locations. If you're typically not comfortable being in front of a camera, she is a reassuring hype woman! She's come a long way and her talent is always evolving and improving ✨️”

Hi! Im Hanna White! I am a momma of a 3 year old son and about to be a momma of another sweet baby boy! I love spending time with my family and friends. I am a small town gal now living in the City of Springfield! I grew up always bringing my camera with me wherever I went. Photography has always been a part of my life and now I have the privilege to work alongside with the most amazing clients (I hope you're one of them!). I have always been wildly obsessed with capturing the love I see between couples & families. Then 3 years ago when I had my firstborn, I had an unnecessary difficult birth experience which ultimately led me into the world of working alongside my doula friends. Spending hours reading, listening to evidence-based information on birth. I now have the privilege to have an amazing midwife with my second son on the way. As I continue to learn and grow with this knowledge…so does my photography. I have truly fallen in love with more than just photographing weddings. Supporting mamas by respectfully documenting their birth space is what makes my heart feel full and happy. Whether it’s your wedding, family pics, or birth that brings you here today-Im glad you came and would love to chat! Reach out by email hannawhitema@gmail.com or fill out the inquiry form below and I will get back to you soon! Thank you! -Hanna
