Statesville, North Carolina Family and Portrait Photographer

Your family is a gift

Your home and the role you play in it are priceless. The love you share and the life you’ve built are invaluable parts of your story. As a photographer, I’m here to honor that—to showcase your unique voice through a seamless, elevated portrait experience. One that reflects the heart of your home and preserves the portraits of people you love, because they MATTER.

hi, i'm

HANNAH

Connecting with people is my passion and photography is my means to do that. I believe that there is a reason you want to document the special moments in your life- to remember in vivid color the people you know and love. I strive to photograph that real connection, while also giving you those pretty portraits to hang on the wall.

My desire for your session is that your family will have a top quality, wonderful experience, while walking away with a tangible, heirloom style artwork that you can treasure for generations.

I guide my clients through the entire process from outfit planning, to location, having a framed custom wall art piece, and planning a legacy album design. Just weeks after your session, your home will be filled with the memories of your sweet time together!

Imagine your little ones, years from now, curled up beside you on the couch, flipping through your portraits. They’re not just looking at pictures—they’re remembering you. The love, the laughter, the way you cared for them. These moments won’t be buried in a digital cloud; they’ll be real, tangible, something that lasts.

This is why we print. Because your session isn’t just a collection of images—it’s a testament to your family’s story, one that is uniquely yours and truly priceless. The love you pour into your family deserves more than a screen. It deserves to be held, seen, and cherished for generations.

Kind Words

WE LOVE HANNAH!!!! She photographed our wedding and has done photos for our growing family since and… WOW. Not only is the final product of the photos just perfection, but the whole experience with her is SO fun, comfortable, and an overall enjoyable experience. You will feel like you are laughing with a friend instead of posing for photos. She puts so much love into what she does and you can tell when you get your photos back! 5,000 stars!!

-Jared and Abigail Stebbins

Let's talk about extended family sessions. It's more than just a photo shoot—it’s a time for you to hit pause on a season that’s already slipping by. 🕰️

Let's admit it- it's a very rare moment where everyone is in the same place, at the same time.
The grandparents who built the legacy.
The grown-up siblings who now have little ones of their own.
The toddlers with their craziness and happy giggles.
All the roots… and all the branches of the family tree.

Your family tree is growing and evolving.
And when we capture it—those in-between, real, beautiful moments—we're not just creating images.
We're creating a recollection: the kind of memories that hang on walls, sit in albums, and are passed down through generations.

One day, these portraits will be the reminder of how it felt to all be together. 🤍

Trust me, I get it- as a mom of two wonderful (but rambunctious 😜) boys, one of my first thoughts is always, "But how are my kids actually going to act during photos?" Here's the good news. They don't have to be perfect. Today I'm sharing a few tips when bringing your sweet littles:

📸 Let kids be kids.
The wiggly, giggly, snack-loving energy? That’s exactly what we want to capture. Perfection isn’t the goal—connection is.

👣 Let them lead the way.
Sometimes the best shots come when we follow their curiosity. If your toddler wants to explore or your preschooler wants to twirl 47 times, we’ll roll with it. Those genuine moments are where the magic lives.

🤗 Love on your kids.
Hugs, snuggles, nose kisses—pour on the affection. That closeness translates into the most heart-melting images.

🍭Treats are your secret weapon.
A few (non-messy) bribes go a long way. Think m&ms, fruit snacks, or a promise of ice cream afterward. I won’t judge 😉

🖼️ We knock out the posed shots early.
We start with the must-have family portraits while everyone’s still fresh—then we can relax and have fun.

Your job? Just show up and love your people.
We’ll guide the rest and turn your family's unique story into something you truly treasure 🎨

✨ From digital to tangible- why?- because a mother's love deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered. ✨

This album isn't just a collection of pictures- it's proof that you were there. Holding. Loving. Guiding. Being the heart of your family.

Your little ones won't scroll through a hard drive years from now. They won't gather around a screen to swipe through lost files or forgotten folders.

But they WILL sit beside you, turning thick pages, tracing their fingers over the moments that mattered the most. They'll see YOU- the love, the laughter, and the care you provided.

This is why we print. Because the love you give deserves more than a screen. It's too precious. As a society we should honor the care a mother gives- treasuring it, giving it the recognition it deserves, and preserving it for generations to come.

Hello hello! It's been a while since I introduced myself around here, and shown my face! 🙈

I'm Hannah, a professional family, motherhood, and portrait photographer since 2016. I grew up in Statesville, NC but I married a Texan! We have two crazy active boys and most of my days are spent chasing them or playing trains or dinosaurs (or cleaning house- let's be honest 🤣🧹🧽.)

I love connecting with people and getting to know YOU, and photography is my means to do that. Every season of life is important, and you deserve to have documented memories.

Recently I've transitioned into offering heirloom prints, wall art, and legacy albums. The most treasured artwork in my home are the images of my husband and my two precious little boys. Every time I walk by them, I smile and remember how good God has been to me. My goal for our time together is that you will walk away with a tangible product so that you can enjoy them in the same way.

My experience includes me acting as your guide from the planning of your session until you hold your images in your hands. Life is busy, and I want to take the preserving of your session off your plate.

I'm grateful to each of you in my little corner of the internet and I cannot wait to SERVE you in the best way that I can. You can click the link in my bio to see my website and to see more details about what I offer! 🤍

Expecting mamas! I get this question all the time! 🤰🏼 When should you schedule your maternity photos?✨ Let's break it down:

📆 When to inquire: As early as 12 weeks- your second trimester! This ensures availability and gives us time to plan the perfect session!

📸 When to take them: The sweet spot is 28-34 weeks (or 7-8 months)- when your bump is showing beautifully, but you're also still feeling comfortable.

My goal is to create something truly special for you and your little one during this incredible journey. 🤍 Your maternity session isn't just about photos- it's about capturing the love, anticipation, and beauty of this season in a way that your family will cherish forever.

🗨️Send me a message to chat and we'll create something meaningful together! 👏🏻🥹

Two whole years with this little boy.
✨Truly where does the time go. ✨

You are smart, fearless, strong, kind, loving, and my sweet sweet snuggle buddy. I'll love you forever Levi Tucker Diggs. It is an honor to be your mommy.

My desire is to SERVE you in the BEST way, and this year, I realized that I wanted to not only help my clients document their family's life, but also preserve their memories in a tangible way.

As a busy mom of two, I know that while you really wannntttt to print out all of your online images, you simply don't have the time (or the energy -let's be honest 😅.) My goal is to simplify everything for you. Your memories deserve to have a space on the wall, and it's my goal to help you do that. 🤍

I'll walk you through every step of the process, from deciding where to hang the art in your home, what size you will need, or what album will suit you best. Our frames and albums are of the highest quality, and I hope your children will want to see these for years to come.

Let me offer you the best service and get those memories off your screen and into your home. 🤍✨🖼️

✨2025✨ This year has already brought about so many new things, but one of my goals is to focus on capturing your memories while also preserving them with heirlooms that you can feel and touch.

While I love all the art hanging in my home, my favorites are the pictures of my wedding, my kids, and my close family members. I see them every day and I am reminded of the JOY they bring to my life. I'm reminded of who they were and who they are now. I'm thankful for their smiles and their sweet personalities.

I want the same thing for you. I want your family and the time you spent together to be remembered, seen, and felt. I want these photos to well up thankfulness in your heart for your people.

I'm now offering matted prints, wall art, and legacy albums for every session you have with me. 🤍 I'll be presenting more on this very soon, but if you've already had a session with me and your photos have lived in their online gallery- reach out! I'd love to get those beautiful images where you can enjoy them every single day.

The happiest of snow days from my little corner of the world. ❄️🌨️

This doesn't happen much around here so we take full advantage when it does. So far, we've eaten a (LOT) of snow, made snow angels, and had snow cream. Today we will make a snowman!⛄👏🏻😁

The best part is experiencing things like this with my children for the first time.

What memories do you take from your childhood snow days? ✨

I cannot even believe these were my sweet little boys just a few years ago. They have grown so much and everything has changed. Hope can be hard to see when the year has been so hard. But we rejoice in the fact that Emmanuel has come! He dwells with us. He is the light. ✨

From the Diggs family and HD Studio we wish everyone the Merriest Christmas! 🎄

✨Family photos you can feel ✨

Portrait sessions are very daunting (especially if you have kiddos 🙈.) I won't pretend it's not. But my goal for your session is for you to feel relaxed, at ease, and to be able to easily connect with the ones you love.

#charlottephotographer #charlottencphotographer #charlottefamilyphotographer #charlottefamilyphotography #charlottenc

I hope your photos mean *more* to you 20 years down the road than they do today.

I hope your photos cause you to look back and see the good and the hard seasons of your life.

I hope your photos grow in value and become heirlooms as time moves forward.

When I photograph your family, I am not just in it for the present, but for the future. Your family should be treasured through each and every season and my heartbeat is to connect with you and showcase images that reveal just how precious your time is with your people.

The sweetest garden party for four little women. 🤍 If you know Sydney, you know that these photos not only show her beautiful family but encapsulates who she is. She champions God, her home, and prioritizes her mission to mold and train the precious hearts of her four daughters. Her home IS her mission field and I was delighted when she asked me to photograph them in their garden where they do life every single day.
•
I've said it before, but having an at-home session will mean more to you than other locations because it is your HOME. It's where you grow, learn, and change. And it is the place where your greatest memories happen. SO please please please invite me to your homes and to your gardens. It would be my HONOR to photograph you in the place that means the most to you.

Memories in the making. I don't want to miss them. I love love love being at home with my family and doing what I can with what I have

#ncfamilyphotographer #ncfamilies #ncfamily #ncfamilyphotography #hickoryncphotography #statesvillencphotographer

In June, I had behind the scenes work along with a newborn session. The idea of summer is carefree with lots of freedom (like this picture) but often it's busy, and hectic, and unhinged. But I am thankful for this season- in all of its barefooted, wild glory.

What I'm trying to remember is- even though it's cliche- is to take in the little moments. The instances (like soaking wet clothes, the sunshine, and tired but happy smiles) that turn the wild and crazy schedule into that sweet memory. Because let's be honest- our life will really never slow down. Not in winter, not when the kids get older, and definitely not next week. Training my mind to abide in the quiet and rest in the midst of chaos is what God is working on in me through each and every season.

Psalm 91:1–2 (ESV): He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
