You're in the exact right place.
If you're ready to create better work, charge higher prices, and run a profitable business that fits into your life...
You are not the problem.
You’ve put in so much time and effort.
You've invested in courses and workshops.
You know you are capable of more than you're seeing right now.
And you really want make this job work — you love making your clients happy, you want a job you can actually enjoy, and the flexibility it offers is a game-changer when you have a family.
But you still feel stuck.
It’s tough to book clients consistently, and you know you’re undercharging. You feel great about some sessions — but others fall flat.
The education you invested in didn't move the needle enough.
Editing takes forever, because you can’t quite nail the look you’re aiming for.
You may be burned out, and even considered quitting... but you can't imagine sacrificing time with your children or going back to your old job.
Friend, I see you. I have been you. I have so much empathy for struggling photographers because I know exactly what it feels like.
I mean it! The frustration you feel isn’t because you lack work ethic or talent — it’s because no one has clearly shown you the process for real, sustainable growth.
Without a clear process, growth feels jumbled and confusing — where do you start? What comes next? There are unending things to improve and each is competing for your attention.
It's overwhelming and frustrating, and it's really hard to to get good results without good strategy in place.
I spent many years of my photography journey struggling a lot. It was so hard to book clients, I couldn't contribute enough to my family's income, and I battled crushing self-doubt. I often considered returning to my former career in software, but I desperately wanted to be at home with my babies instead of back in the office.
When I tell my students I understand how tough this industry can be, it's because I know it firsthand. None of this came easy for me.
Life pushed me to a point where I had to be all in or all out with photography, and I was terrified, but I chose all in. I committed to do and learn all of the hard things to make my business work. It involved countless late nights, insanely long work weeks, and battling fear of failure. It was really tough.
But I learned some amazing things along the way:
1. I was actually capable of building the business I had dreamed of (including a six figure income).
2. Even better? I learned that growth is all about strategy, and it's completely repeatable.
Finding success made me wish more than anything that I could go back in time and give some encouragement and wisdom to my younger self, so those years of struggle could have instead been years of confidence and growth. Obviously, I can't do that — but I've been able to do something so much better:
"I would never be where I am now without Hannah!"
— Meredith
"I cannot IMAGINE having not done this for my business, and I only wish I could go back and guide my burnt-out self to this course much sooner."
— Courtney
"Without Hannah’s guidance it would have taken me years to get where I am now."
— Lorenza
You’ll learn to create the art you’ve been dreaming of, because you deserve to be proud of the work you offer. And you’ll build a profitable business that fits into your life, with the flexibility you crave and sustainability you can depend on.
With comprehensive online course content, biweekly group calls, and individual reviews & support, you will have not just the information you’re looking for, but the support you truly need to succeed long term.
"Unbasic Creatives truly is the best course I have ever taken."
What Unbasic Creatives will do for you:
2. You will build a brand that gets you recognized + booked (not price-shopped).
"Joining Hannah's mastermind was a decisive turning point for my business! Under her guidance, I refined my skills, expanded my knowledge, and experienced a transformative journey that elevated my photography, brand and website to new heights." — Rachel
"I cannot recommend Unbasic Creatives enough - trust me, it’s worth every penny and more. I can see the difference in my work and all the work from the other incredible women who’ve taken Hannah’s course in the past. Make the investment - you will reap all the rewards!" — Annie
“My bookings have definitely increased and I'm doing more of the work that I love. I’ve also been able to raise my prices and make a more sustainable income for my family. I can confidently say that this was the best decision I've made for my business and I am so grateful to have been a part of this program.” — Andrea
3. You will be able to charge much higher prices and book more clients (and earn your investment back many times over).
“My inquiries have TRIPLED, and I've been able to up my session prices to numbers I could have only dreamed of (with plans to keep upping them!). Hannah helped me do what I felt was almost impossible, and somehow made it feel easy.” — Courtney
"I just raised my prices by $200, and I had three bookings this week alone. So wild! I would not be here without you!" — Tate
"I am now confidently charging what my work truly deserves to be sustainable. This mastermind has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact it has had on both my craft and my business." — Rachel
4. You will have clear, confident direction so that you can continue to grow your business and your skills (long after the program ends).
"I knew I needed something like this to continue to grow as a photographer and have support along the way, but being very early along in my business I was hesitant about the financial commitment. However, I would do it all over again, 100%. I would never be where I am now, excited to grow my business and the growth that I've made, without Hannah. She has been incredible to work with and I would recommend her to any photographer." — Meredith
"Hannah guided me through every step: planning model calls, building my new website from scratch, selecting images for my portfolio, social media strategy, and so much more... Having completed the program, I can honestly say I feel deeply confident in the work I’m producing and equipped with the tools to continue growing and building the business I’ve always wanted." — Lorenza
"It was hands down one of the best investments that I made in my life — not only because it created the business that I dreamed of but also for the way it developed me as a person. " — Tate
"For the first time in 12 years of business, I feel like I am right where I am supposed to be." — Courtney
1. You will learn to actually create the images you've been dreaming of (even at your toughest sessions).
"I wanted the natural, emotive and connection-filled images of family that I saw other photographers producing, along with the consistency of great edits every time. I truly feel like I have accomplished that, and I could not have done it without Hannah’s incredible course and guidance. I’m confident in using my profiles and presets in a way I never was before, and shooting in different conditions and experimenting with light in ways I only dreamed of." — Annie
"My edits, the way I shoot, where I shoot, how I direct… everything got an upgrade. A big one... I am so proud of my work and the galleries I am returning to my clients." — Courtney
"Hannah’s guidance has helped me make vast improvements when it comes to my session flow, editing, and the quality of my client galleries... Just the other day I revisited some of Hannah’s session flow modules and felt 10x more confident heading into my next session than I otherwise would have." — Kristen
I created comprehensive yet streamlined content just for this program. From lighting and editing, to client experience and blogging, and everything in between — learn at your own pace. After all, you get lifetime access!
Every other week, our group meets for a video call. This time is incredibly valuable and full of learning, growth, and important conversations. It's also a fun time to build community and connect with other creatives. Miss a call? Don't worry, they're recorded!
This program is all about your success! You get individual reviews of your portfolio, website, pricing, and social media, all with action steps for how to grow next. In addition to our live calls, you also have lifetime access to support in our private online community!

>> This program is incredibly comprehensive — but don't let that word make you nervous.
Comprehensive does not equal complicated.
I have spent countless hours creating content that is impactful yet very straightforward. It’s essential that we cover the many aspects of artistry and business, because we are both artists and business owners. Growth requires a wide range of knowledge.
But I’m a super busy mom with no time for long, rambling videos or fluffy course content. I'm also a former software engineer who gets excited about making complicated things simple. That's what you'll find here:
let's chat. (promise, this isn't scary!)
complicated things made easy. practical, no-fluff content. and help in *all* the areas you need.
Unbasic Creatives is built for real, busy, crazy life.
Yes, It Really Works
“I would never be where I am now...”
I knew I needed something like this to continue to grow as a photographer and have support along the way, but being very early along in my business I was hesitant about the financial commitment. However, I would do it all over again, 100%. I would never be where I am now, excited to grow my business and the growth that I've made, without Hannah.
“This mastermind has been nothing short of remarkable.”
The insights shared as well as her invaluable feedback helped me refine my artistry, leading to a substantial increase in my pricing. I am now confidently charging what my work truly deserves to be sustainable.
“I cannot recommend Unbasic Creatives enough - trust me, it’s worth every penny and more."
I can see the difference in my work and all the work from the other incredible women who’ve taken Hannah’s course in the past. Make the investment - you will reap all the rewards! Thank you so much Hannah!

FAQs
Unbasic Creatives includes SO MUCH. You get lifetime access to an entire online course with lessons on directing families, indoor and outdoor lighting, editing, shooting film, my secrets for success at every session, pricing, social media, your website, SEO, plus templates and cheat sheets and more. You can go through these at your own pace, but I've outlined the ideal way to work through the content so that you're set up for real success.
This program also includes live group coaching calls every other week, individual portfolio, pricing, & brand reviews, and personal support in between calls. I am here to help you succeed — it truly is my greatest passion!
This program is designed as a 12-month experience, but it only requires a 6 month commitment. Beyond the first 6 months, coaching is only a month-to-month commitment, and is offered at a discounted rate.
Most students prefer the yearlong experience, because it fits well into real life — there is zero overwhelm, and I can walk alongside my students through all the seasons of business and through so much growth. I consistently hear how great it is to have a full year of support!
But other students are in a position where they have the availability to hustle hard, and that's great too. My priority is my students' success — and a great experience along the way. This program is intended to fit into your life and your goals. And if you're expecting a baby during the program, no problem — maternity leave is encouraged!
That's completely up to you! This program is designed to work around your busy life, on your timeline, and to be a support - never a stress. My students never feel that the program takes up a lot of time, but instead feel that it helps them prioritize, streamline, and put their energy into the right tasks. It will relieve your stress, never add to it!
Great question! I know this will help you because growth is teachable and repeatable. It doesn't happen by luck, but by strategy and intention. It has worked for me, as well as countless other students! But don't take my word for it — check out tons of detailed reviews from students who have worked with me!
Your level of experience does not matter! Yes, you do need to be well-versed in the essentials (like how to operate cameras, etc.), and to have some experience working as a photographer. However, some of my students have been in business more than a decade, and are working through major shifts in their work or are finally committing to making their business truly profitable. Others are very new to the industry, and haven't even created a website yet.
Because there is so much individual and community support, this program genuinely works for photographers of all stages - the only requirement is that you're ready to grow.
It's never too early to build a healthy foundation for your business. And with lifetime access to the online content, and the patterns I teach you for continuous growth and repeat level-ups, you'll be able to use this program to grow for many years to come.
Every call is recorded and available for replay! The live calls are incredibly valuable because you get to talk through your questions/thoughts directly with me. I limit my number of students in my program, so you'll ALWAYS get time to speak directly with me. But if you can't make it, don't stress: it'll be available for you to rewatch at your convenience. My students love watching calls they missed - and they calls that occurred before they even joined - because it turns out that most photographers are dealing with very similar challenges. The discussion that stems from another student's question is usually very relevant to the entire group.
This program is an absolute STEAL. All of the different services and components add up to over $22,000 - and no, I'm not exaggerating at all. All of this is offered at a genuinely affordable monthly cost, and that cost decreases after your initial 6 month commitment if you choose to stay longer in the program.
Your monthly investment in this program should be very quickly earned right back with the changes you'll learn to make and the amount you'll be able to raise your prices. My goal is for you to earn much more from Unbasic Creatives than you ever put into it — and my students experience this consistently.
All of the details are available upon appplication!
Absolutely not! My students' choices in pricing structure span the spectrum. Some offer products and collections, some are all inclusive. It completely depends on personal preference and your local market. There is no 'one-size-fits-all' and what works in one city may not work at all in another.
The point is to become profitable with a business that you enjoy and that works in your area!
Oh my gosh, A TON. Hear it directly from my students (tons more reviews here):
- "Hannah’s mentoring has been life changing for me (and I’m not even done yet)." Lindsay
- "I am about halfway through Unbasic Creatives, and I cannot sing enough praises about it." Eunice
- "I've not even officially completed the course and my inquiries have TRIPLED, as well as being able to up my session prices to numbers I could have only dreamed of last year (with plans to keep upping them!)" Courtney
But this is super important, so listen up: my program is not just about the time you work with me. It's about the entire future of your business. I will teach you growth patterns and skills so that you are fully equipped to continue growing year after year. (It's part of why I offer lifetime access to my online course content!) While many of my students have grown beyond what they dreamed of before our 12 months is even up, I want to be clear that the biggest payoff from this program will happen as you continue to implement your knowledge for years to come. You'll learn how to grow and level up again and again, and the payoff will be exponential.
So this program is going to be awesome. But it's also just the beginning. Build the right foundation, and your trajectory is going to be so much better than you could ever have anticipated!
Easy! Click here, and fill out the info form. I will send you over all of the additional details & answer all of your questions as quickly as possible, within 1-2 business days.
This is not a process to evaluate whether you are 'good enough' for the program in any way whatsoever. This process is simply to make sure this program is a truly great fit for your needs!
If you'd like to get to know me more before joining, and dig deeper into next steps for your business, you can book a strategy call with me before joining. These calls are $97 and 45 minutes long, and we'll discuss where you're at and what needs to happen next for you to reach your goals. There is no obligation to join Unbasic Creatives after a call, but if you do, 100% of the cost will be credited toward your tuition.
I'm Hannah.
I've been a family and newborn photographer since 2014, and I have a passion for equipping other photographers to succeed.
I spent several years running a business that, quite honestly, crushed me. I never felt good enough. I never had enough clients. I never made enough money. I was alone, and I really didn't know where to go next. Often, I wanted to quit.
Thankfully, the story didn't end there: I made major changes to my business and transformed it, and raised my session prices above four figures (with no IPS or sales!). Not only did my art flourish and my business thrive - so did my family. I went from contributing modestly to our family, to providing generously.
It didn't happen overnight, but it DID happen. And I am absolutely over the moon that I get to teach other photographers to thrive - on a much faster timeline and with none of the pain!
