Guided by a desire to witness rather than idealize, Hanna documents life as it unfolds: weddings, births, families, bands, festivals, small businesses, and community events. Her images trace the texture of real life — its mess, its magic, its quiet truths — without resorting to artifice or cliché. She seeks to make the invisible visible, to validate the beauty and complexity of everyday existence.

At the heart of her practice is self-documentation: photographing her own life as an act of observation and validation, a way to explore what it means to pursue a creative life amid the demands of parenthood and making ends meet.
