WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING
About their experience with Hannah at her Dover, NH studio...
Boudoir session can be exciting- and nerve wracking! Can you tell me how you ended up choosing our studio, and why?
One reason for your studio was how different and gorgeous it was. I everything from the gorgeous plants(I am a plant girl) to velvet couch to the breathtaking mural that is so unique but yet could go with any look. I also loved how the pictures were presented. Like a work of art. A look into someone's soul. You have this way of capturing someone's personality and emotions. How has this experience affected your self image? I was really nervous, like up really early pacing nervous. I did not have ANY outfits until I booked the session. This is truely something I've never done before or even imagined myself doing. I struggle alot with my body. The way I look at myself is not always kind. But now I see someone who has accomplished so so much in her lifetime and even more in this past year. Someone who can love pieces of me that others have told me not to love. Tell us about seeing your pictures for the first time! How did you feel? I was honestly speechless seeing my photos for the first time. I rarely even take selfies so this was definitely out of my comfort zone. But sitting in a comfortable safe place and looking at them and admiring all the steps it took for me to get here. I felt badass. I felt like I've never seen myself THAT way before. A woman whose posing WITH CONFIDENCE in lingerie. It was me. Seeing photos of myself feeling sexy, strong, and filled with self love was an experience I'll never forget. And will always look back on. What would you say to someone who's on the fence about a boudoir session with Hannah? Doing Something new is always scary. I was like shaking nervous. But honestly I have NEVER felt more confident. I truely never saw myself as sexy or someone with the "right" body type to do this. I was always ashamed of my body. But now I'm seeing myself in a whole new light. Everything was a positive experience from the initial phone call to the actual shoot. And seeing my photos for the first time was so empowering. It has TRUELY changed the way I see myself, it gave me that confidence boost. It gave me that push to love myself. So if you are someone who has done this before, believe me you have never worked with someone as amazing and loving as Hannah. And if you have never done anything like this, a session with Hannah is one of the most empowering loving experiences and she helped me in literally every way possible preparing for this. This is something I will never regret doing. Is there anything we could have changed (in any part of the your experience!) to make this better for the next woman in the studio? Nothing. Thank you so much. I honestly dont even have words to thank you enough. |
I have admired Hannah's talent and passion of photography and was so excited to do a boudoir session as I knew this was something that would do wonders for my confidence.
This experience made me discover how relaxed I am in my own skin and celebrating my body made feel so empowered, sexy and confident. (On seeing her pictures for the first time) Not only excited but I felt so proud of myself for embracing myself and doing something that could be very nerve wrecking for most people Nothing about it was scary at all, Hannah made me feel so comfortable and encouraged me throughout the session which felt great. -C.J. 
I chose to do this session because a friend was doing one and was insecure. However this ended up being a empowering experience that has changed the way I view my body. I’ve had a positive body image for a few year but still recognized a few things I don’t care for. I now realize there’s no reasons not to love those parts!
I have never felt as beautiful as I look in my photos and my confidence is through the roof! (On seeing her pictures for the first time) I wanted to cry. I felt a self love that I didn’t know exist. I didn’t know how beautiful I am. Other forms of photos like selfies, or group pictures from a night out didn’t let my natural beauty and personality shine. You never get to see yourself from another persons point of view. We judge our self off of little glimpses that we catch with poor lighting, no make up, bad angles and assume that’s all there is to see. So not true. Just do it. It’ll change your life. Every woman has doubts in their mind about their external appearance and Hannah’s use of lighting and posing techniques will make those doubts disappear. "I came across you on Instagram and first off I was in love with your style, but it was the way you spoke about the women in your photos that won me over. You were so genuine and focused on confidence and beauty. You tell such a story with your work, it wasn’t just let me take some sexy pictures. And when we spoke for our consultation, your energy was so my speed. You were sweet and funny and I instantly felt like we had been besties forever and I knew you were “the one” I wanted to shoot my pictures!
It definitely has made me see myself in a different light. Seeing myself up on the projector in my pictures for the first time was crazy.. I was uncomfortable at first but then shocked at what you captured. I felt like I looked beautiful! As someone who has struggled with weight issues in recent years, truly loving how I looked in a picture was a totally new experience for me. It motivated me to continue to work on myself, but also made me stop in my tracks and appreciate the body that I have and see beauty in it. I firmly believe every woman should do this at least once. It is so empowering and fun!" -Abby |
"This experience definitely made me feel more confident. I have struggled with my self image since I was a child. Not only have I dealt with my own negative thoughts about myself but I also have dealt with negative comments from others that have damaged my self esteem. I was terrified to do a session with a complete stranger but you made it less terrifying . You made it fun and comfortable for me. After seeing your work I felt beautiful. I have never seen a picture of myself and thought I looked great up until now. I can final! l finally see the sexy side of me that I didn’t know existed. Thank you they are struggling with confidence or body image issues this experience could help view themselves in a positive way. I want others to feel the way I felt after my shoot. The overall experience was amazing and empowering. I will be doing another shoot in the future."

"I have trusted Hannah with the camera since high school. (side bar- that was 10 + years ago- now that's trust!!) She’s always had a great eye and is always thinking outside the box. We were able to combine our ideas and create the most memorable photos. She is so open to trying new things whether it’s location, poses or even using fun props in the photos. I felt very comfortable and it’s always a great time with her because she’s always boosting up the energy during our sessions. Costume changes are always fun for me — mixing and matching outfits for the photos. Being able to be myself was the BEST part. The reveal session is always the most exciting part. Hannah does a wonderful job displaying every angle, lighting, pose and all the littlest details that were captured during the session. She really listens to you and wants what is best for you whether you’re ordering an album or just wanting prints. I highly recommend Hannah as a professional photographer. I cannot express enough how talented she is behind the lens. She pays attention to detail and understands her clients’ requests/needs. She is one of those people that will go far and beyond to capture the perfect moment."

"I need to be comfortable in my body at any stage in life. This was another step towards confidence and accepting the physical scars that life has left and still feeling like I am good enough and powerful! I love your work, your honesty and knowing how to handle someone who may have some hang ups and working together to get past them. I look at the pictures am honestly in shock that that could be me! They are amazing and slightly surreal. Already been speeding the gospel of empower boudoir ❤️"
