Because when you become your own biggest believer, everything else follows: the dream clients, collaborations, and opportunities that belong in the universe only you can create.
Cinematic photography isn’t about chasing the light or aesthetics alone. It’s about holding space for what truly matters: the sacred connection between two humans, the feeling in the moment, and the privilege of showing them their world through your eyes.
For them, cinematic photography is art.
For you, it’s a reminder of your why — to take a deep breath, create from the heart, and come back home to yourself.
LOVE THIS FOR YOU LOVE THIS FOR YOU LOVE THIS FOR YOU LOVE THIS FOR YOU
Growth isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about staying curious, present, and showing up for yourself even when the path ahead feels hazy.
You haven’t fully grasped cinematic shots—because you haven’t experimented with different techniques
You struggle to expand your portfolio creatively—because you’re not attracting your ideal clients
You no longer feel genuinely excited about your work—because every shoot feels the same: boring and predictable
P.S. No judgment here.
Because I've been there and I know exactly how you feel.
You can’t quite nail a signature editing style—because your edits always look or feel somewhat “off”
You revert to basic, old posing techniques—because it’s easier to stay in your comfort zone
Before transitioning to my cinematic storytelling approach, my work felt dull, inauthentic, and lifeless.
I started attracting clients who valued my art and non-cookie-cutter approach. I was no longer burnt out because I LOVED and was deeply excited by the work I was creating.
But when I finally mustered up the faith and gave myself permission to overhaul my style—it changed my business, and in turn, my ENTIRE LIFE, in ways I never would have known.
I even went viral all because of it!
You don’t need my permission, but I’m here to tell and SHOW you that it’s possible to break the mold and create art that you’d want to display on your own walls!
IT CRUSHED ME...
Imagine creating art that’s as emotionally addictive + INSPIRING for you as it is for your clients,
When you collaborate with clients and other creatives who share your vision, new ideas and opportunities will spring up like wildflowers, allowing you to nourish and water your creative garden.
You’ll have fresh, Pinterest-worthy content on tap, ready to flourish throughout your portfolio, website, and social feeds.
Imagine waking up every day excited to create—when you're creating from a place of joy and authenticity, the work becomes something you want to do, not something you have to do.
This is about reimagining what success looks like—not pushing through exhaustion, but thriving in a space where your creativity can flourish freely.
The best films are often the ones that invite us into new worlds, unapologetically original and inspired. They’re evocative, exciting, and daring, like nothing we’ve seen before.
When you trust and lean into your innate creativity rather than being distracted by what everyone else is doing, you’ll allow your unique signature style to emerge and shine.
Wouldn’t it be so dang marvelous if your inbox was full of your biggest fans, and you could focus on lining up all the new bookings rather than the constant icky “selling”?
When you’re genuinely excited to create and LOVE what you do, your energy becomes infectious, magnetizing dream clients who are already sold on you.
Best money I have every spent for my photography, and I’d do it again all for the experience you receive from Hannah.
"I have taken a lot of education courses in my years of photography and Hannah’s course blows them out of the water. This course answered so many of my questions and helped with my problems I needed to achieve the cinematic style of photography. The continued education of her course is another example of why this course is the best. I have never taken another course where there is so much help from the creator, zoom calls to answer all questions periodically and a group chat where we can all help one another as well as share our work. Hannah herself is sunshine in human form. I can’t thank her enough for sharing her time, knowledge and passion with us. "
Hannah is the best educator I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from.
"Hannah is simply amazing! I’ve taken both of her courses, and it is hands down the BEST money I’ve ever spent, and I’ll continue to give her my money because you can’t beat her genuineness, and just yearning to truly help other creatives. Her videos are so in depth and just make you think unlike you’ve ever thought before! Hannah is the best educator I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from."
THIS course is truly unreal! It provides the perfect foundation for anyone looking to DIVE inTO the art of cinematic imagery.
"The lessons are insightful and practical, blending creativity with essential skills. Hannah's passion for storytelling shines through every module, making the learning experience both inspiring and engaging. You can tell how much work she has put into this course and the true devotion she has to being an authentic storyteller. This course is exactly what you need to elevate your craft and bring your artistic vision to life. Highly recommend it to anyone ready to take their work to the next level, regardless of where you're at in your journey."
First of all, let me preface this with i'd watch/ buy ANY education content Hannah puts out!!
"I knew this would be no different, and I was right. Hannah goes into depth with passion about how she works with her clients and the space they’re working in. It kind of feels like you were almost in the space with them and you’re watching her work like a fly on the wall. She teaches you how to be intentional with everything you’re given to set up your clients story and how to capture it. You won’t regret buying this and I can guarantee that about anything else she puts out! :)"
Since I’ve gotten this cinematic course I’ve learned so much!
"Hannah has been absolutely amazing. Since I’ve gotten this cinematic course I’ve learned so much! I’ve been able to take my time and not feel rushed to go through the whole thing. Hannah has truly been so sweet and amazing and always so willing to help and answer any question any of us have. Also she takes the time to set up zoom calls monthly and I absolutely love it!! Thank you Hannah!"

This isn’t just another photography course—it’s the only one rooted in the study of CINEMA. I’ve taken the storytelling techniques that filmmakers use to evoke emotion and create visual masterpieces and adapted them specifically for photographers. No one else is teaching this blend of cinematic principles with photography. This approach will set your work apart and elevate your craft in ways you never imagined.
This course is my heart and soul. It’s everything I’ve learned in my years as a photographer, poured into one elaborate guide. I spent over a year creating it, meticulously breaking down every concept, tip, and technique that I’ve used to build a successful career. From the moment you pick up your camera to the final product you deliver—there’s no stone left unturned.
Whether you're beginning your journey or years into it - this course is for EVERYONE. No matter your style, every photographer should have the ability to tell a story that moves people. Storytelling is the soul of photography—it’s what makes your work unforgettable and deeply felt.
I get it, investing in yourself can feel scary. I know because I’ve been there—I was stuck at a 9-5, struggling to make ends meet, and it wasn’t until I made the switch to this cinematic style that everything changed. Now, I’m fully booked with dream clients and finally living the life I once thought was out of reach. You deserve the same. Invest in your art, in your future—you won’t regret it.
In short, I’m a storyteller who’s fallen in love with documenting humans in their purest forms. Perfectly imperfect, raw, and genuine people who exist in their own beautiful way, all on their own. They don’t need me to tell them how to exist; they just do, and it is really dang marvelous.
Inspired by the cinema’s power to connect us as humans beyond the boundaries of language and culture, I’ve spent years immersing myself in a TON of movies and endless YouTube tutorials to craft poetic imagery.
Like you don’t wanna know the number of hours, days, and weeks (and still counting…) I’ve spent lost in this wild and wonderful rabbit hole. More like 24/7/365. Basically, interpreting the art of cinema through photography has become my whole personality, LOL!
That’s why I’m beyond honored that you’re here and ready to pour your own storytelling magic into the world.
