The CREATIVE BEHIND THE CAMERA & THE STRATEGIST BEHIND THE BIZ.
I’m Hannah — a brand photographer and creative strategist based in Central Illinois, serving service-based business owners who want their brand to feel intentional, elevated, and scroll-stopping.
I help entrepreneurs show up confidently online with imagery that doesn’t just look good — it works. Because your photos should support your goals, attract aligned clients, and grow with your business.

more than a photographer
I didn’t start this business just to take pretty photos (although I love that part).
I built Always Flourishing Photography because I kept seeing talented business owners struggle to show up confidently — not because they weren’t good at what they do, but because their visuals didn’t reflect it.
Over the years, my work naturally evolved beyond photography into strategy, guidance, and support. Today, I help clients think through the why behind their brand, not just the visuals — so every session feels purposeful, calm, and aligned.
Whether you’re a solo service provider, growing personal brand, or expanding team, my goal is always the same:
to help you show up feeling confident, clear, and proud of your business.

what sets my work apart…
When you work with me, you’re not just booking a photo session — you’re gaining a creative partner who understands branding from both a visual and business perspective.
✨ Strategic brand photography designed to support your marketing, launches, and growth
✨ Guided planning so you never wonder “what do I wear?” or “what should we shoot?”
✨ A calm, supportive experience that puts you at ease in front of the camera
✨ A photographer who understands service-based businesses because I run them too
✨ Imagery created to be used — on your website, social media, emails, and beyond
I’ve built multiple creative businesses from the ground up, and I bring that real-world experience into every session.
Rooted in Community
Community isn’t just part of my brand — it’s who I am.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me:
Co-hosting the Founding Females Peoria Meet Ups
Supporting local small business owners
Running my rental photo studio, The Studio on Sampson
Being a cheerleader for my community
I believe business is better when it’s built together, and I’ve made it my mission to create spaces — both online and in person — where creatives feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to grow.

my life outside of photography
I’m a mom, a big believer in slow mornings, meaningful connection, and doing business in a way that leaves room for life.
When I’m not behind a camera, you may find me…
treasure hunting at the thrift stores
chasing sunsets in our jeep
at the local coffee shop with my daughter
traveling in our camper
All because I am building my businesses to give me time freedom. I never joined the 9-5 life and I am proud of that.
