Photography has been a constant in my life. It was in a darkroom when I was fifteen that I learned how to process film. Your first smell of “fixer chemical” is quite memorable. I borrowed a friend’s Canon SLR and fell in love with the entire process of taking photos on film� the moment with emotion, the anticipation for how it would turn out, the developing film, and watching my image magically appear. To me, it’s always been art.

Fast forward and a lot has changed, but I still have a Canon in my hands. Now it’s fully digital and mirrorless, but it is still creating art. Since picking up my first Canon, life has changed a bit. I married my handsome high school sweetheart that has become even more refined with age. I am proudly a boymom to the three cutest blond boys.

After ten years of teaching high school English and taking photos on the side, I leaped running Hannah Ruth Photography full-time. Leaving the classroom meant leaving some of my favorite people� high school seniors. So anytime I have the opportunity to work with seniors, it just feels right.

My greatest pride as a photographer is working with return clients over the years that become more like family. There is something so special when I can help encapsulate memories from an engagement, then a wedding, and a family session later on for the same couple.

You will typically find me shooting in natural lighting; I am particularly obsessed with the glorious golden hour when the sun casts a romantic glow around any subject in its path.

I am simply Hannah—lover of Jesus, wife, mommy, teacher, friend, and photographer. Join me anytime as I chase beautiful sunsets and beautiful moments.

Love, Hannah Ruth
