About the Photographer

My name is Hannah Burkholder

I've loved photography for as long as I can remember. From a young age, people noticed my "creative eye," and their kind words nurtured my confidence. However, it was the loss of my father that truly shaped my connection to photography. He left me his camera, and through that lens, I discovered the power of preserving memories. It quickly became more than a hobby; it became a way to hold onto the moments that matter most.

​

Carrying that camera everywhere, I fell in love with storytelling through images. Over time, I realized this wasn’t just a passion; it was my purpose. To honor that purpose, I pursued certifications in Digital Photography, Portraiture, and Composition. My work was recognized in the 2023 C1M Academy Art Exhibition, which was an incredible milestone that motivates me to continually push creative boundaries and grow as an artist. Photography has taught me to savor life’s fleeting moments and to always look for the beauty in the everyday.

​

When I’m not photographing, you’ll likely find me exploring scenic trails, tackling DIY projects, or enjoying live music at concerts with friends. Although, I do tend to document those moments too! At home, I dedicate my life to my two playful and very spoiled cats, Arlo and Estie,  who never fail to make me smile.
