Hi! Thanks for checking in to learn more about me! I am Hannah, owner of Hannah Jo Watkins Photo. My pronouns are she/her.

The term 'camera enthusiast' doesn't even begin to touch who I am! When I'm not exploring the world through my lens, you'll find me in the vibrant, bustling Metro Detroit, my home! A city that's as diverse and dynamic as the images I capture. My love for photography started back in middle school when my mom gifted us a small digital camera for family vacations. Little did she know, she was igniting a passion that would define my life. I found it thrilling to immortalize moments and began taking portraits of my friends in high school. Capturing their smiles, their quirks, and their personalities was exciting and fulfilling in a way words could never describe.

But hey, I'm not all camera and no play! I'm a board game aficionado, and nothing beats a night of friendly competition. Whether it's the strategic 'Phase 10', the hilarious 'Cards Against Humanity', or the classic 'Monopoly', I'm game for it all! My current favorite is National Parks Monopoly! And when I'm not indulging in board games, you'll find me on the pickleball court. If you've never tried it, it's a mix of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, and it's an absolute blast!

At the end of the day, however, my favorite pastime is simply spending time with my beautiful fiancee Leah and our adorable dog, Winifred. Their love and support are the driving forces behind my work, and they are my biggest cheerleaders. Leah, especially, is a great model when I want to experiment with new photography techniques!

So, here I am, ready to capture your moments, your stories, your realities. Ready to offer you photographs that will bring you joy for years to come. Because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Capturing moments in time that you can look back on with a smile. So, whether it's portraits, events, or just scenic shots you're after, I'm your photographer, ready and excited to work with you!
