I am based in Northern Virginia and photograph families, couples, maternity sessions, newborns, and weddings throughout Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington DC. Some of my favorite locations include Loudoun County, Harper's Ferry, Shenandoah National Park, Bluemont, Leesburg, Alexandria, Fairfax, and Washington DC. I am also available for destination weddings and travel worldwide.

Yes! I am a Northern Virginia photographer serving families, couples, and wedding clients throughout Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Arlington, Alexandria, and surrounding areas. My photography style combines cinematic storytelling with natural, candid moments to create timeless images.

Absolutely. Every session includes location guidance based on the look and feel you're envisioning. Whether you're dreaming of mountain views, open fields, forests, lakes, urban settings, or an in-home session, I'll help you choose the perfect location in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, or Washington DC.

Hannah From Earth has a photography style that is cinematic, candid, and film-inspired. Rather than relying heavily on stiff poses, I guide you through movement and natural interactions that create genuine moments. The result is a gallery filled with authentic emotion, beautiful light, and timeless storytelling.

Your wedding photography experience should feel just as good as the photographs themselves. I want you to feel comfortable, cared for, and completely present throughout your day, not like you're constantly being pulled away to pose for photos.

From our first conversation to the final gallery, I take the time to understand you, your relationship, and what matters most to you. On your wedding day, I offer gentle direction when you want it, step back when you don't, and keep things relaxed so you can actually enjoy the people and moments you've spent so much time planning.

Whether you're getting married in Virginia, Maryland, Oregon, or somewhere completely new, you'll have a photographer who is there to document your story while making the experience itself feel effortless.

The goal isn't just beautiful photographs. It's a wedding experience where you get to be fully present, and photographs that let you relive it all afterward.

You can expect a sneak peek gallery within 72 hours of your wedding. Galleries are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks for portrait sessions and up to 6 weeks for weddings.

The best light for outdoor photography is typically during golden hour, which occurs shortly after sunrise or before sunset. Golden hour provides soft, flattering light that creates the warm, cinematic look you see throughout my portfolio.

Your session is designed to feel relaxed and enjoyable. Rather than placing you in stiff poses, I guide you through prompts and movement that encourage genuine connection. This approach allows me to capture authentic moments and natural emotions.

Yes- absolutely. I’m based between Oregon and Northern Virginia and currently photograph weddings in both areas. I’m also available for travel and love working with couples in new locations.

For portrait sessions, I book within about 30 miles of the DC area. If you’re not sure if your location falls within that range, just reach out and ask.

For weddings, I keep travel simple and transparent and will go over everything upfront so there are no surprises.

I like to keep things straightforward and focused on what actually matters. Wedding packages include a set number of hours of coverage and a fully edited online gallery where you can download and share your images.

Portrait sessions include the session itself, guidance on planning (outfits, timing, and location), and a curated gallery of edited images.

You can find more details on my pricing page, or I’m always happy to walk you through options and help you decide what fits best.

Yes, and this is a big part of how I work.

My approach is centered around making things feel natural, not stiff or overly posed. I love capturing photos that feel like still frames from your favorite film, cinematic, emotional, and real.

During portraits, I use simple prompts or “tasks” instead of traditional posing. I’ll give you direction like walking together, talking, fixing a dress or suit, or just interacting naturally. It keeps things moving and helps me capture the in-between moments that feel the most genuine.

I also always make space for a few classic, timeless shots where you are looking at the camera. I will guide you through those so you never feel unsure of what to do.

For the most part, I take a more documentary style approach during weddings, letting real moments unfold naturally while gently guiding when needed so nothing feels forced or unnatural.

The goal is always the same. Photos that feel cinematic, emotional, and true to you.

It really depends on the look and feel you’re going for, but I’m always happy to help you choose. I spend a lot of time photographing in both Oregon and the DC/Northern Virginia area, so I can recommend locations based on scenery, lighting, and how busy they tend to be.

Whether you’re drawn to mountains, water, open fields, or something more urban, I’ll help you find a spot that fits your style and photographs beautifully. And if you already have a meaningful location in mind, I’m always up for that too.

We roll with it. Some of the most cinematic, emotional photos actually happen in less-than-perfect weather.

If it’s just light rain, I’m always down to embrace it with umbrellas or covered spots. If the weather is truly not workable, we’ll adjust plans and find an alternative that still feels beautiful and natural.
