MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER BEHIND THE LENS
Hello! My Name is Hannah Blanchette
I got my start shooting in SLC, Ut at a busy family owned studio. I relocated to Corpus Christi, TX in 2019. Over 10 years of baby whispering, toddler wrangling, crowd controlling, camera calisthenics, and a whole lot of trial and error has really allowed me to grow into my own personal style. Documenting the same families for years taught me that a personal connection is the foundation for great portraits. I strive to make every session a fun and relaxing experience that will show in the photos I capture.
"Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures."
My Story
Love for Photography, Passion for People. This motto was written by my mentor, my sister, Sasha. I adopted the mantra as I moved forward with my career and my own studio. She built her business on the foundation that a genuine connection was the building block to great photos. The experience of the session affects the outcome. I carry that with me. My goal is to offer an experience that will be memorable. By creating a beautiful experience, I create beautiful pictures. I truly care about the people I photograph, and I truly care about my art. Every image, every session is an expression of myself. I don't just take photographs, I make photographs. The difference between the two is a fraction of a second. I look at people, I watch for their unguarded moments, the essence in between, that ray of light peeking through the clouds. That's when I know to press the shutter. That's when I know I have something special. I get excited every time I bring an image to my computer and turn it into a piece of art. My life's story is told through my photographs. And I'm so thankful for every opportunity to share it with the world.
FLASH GIVES BACK
Currently, I am donating my services to 100 Women of The Coastal Bend, a local, philanthropic group of women who meet quarterly, contribute locally, and connect personally to benefit deserving charities in the Texas Coastal Bend. Their goal is to donate a minimum of $10,000 every quarter to local causes. They are an amazing group of women who are making a big impact in our community with their work. I am proud to use my skills to help forward their cause.
My Beautiful Family
I married the love of my life in 2004 in Salt Lake City, Utah where we both grew up. By 2005 we welcomed our first healthy baby boy. Two years later we completed our family with the birth of our second son. Over the years we have enjoyed traveling, playing music, learning, laughing, crying and loving together. In 2019 we relocated to the coast. We travel back home to Utah as often as we can to enjoy time with our very extensive extended family. Every new day brings adventures and blessings. This life is a gift, and I spend each day in gratitude.
