Hi, I’m Hannah! Lu is a shortened version of my middle name, Lucretia. this is where my business name Lu's Lens Photography comes from.

I’m going into my 10th year of photography and have photographed everything people have trusted me to capture: weddings (76 of ‘em!), families, pets, boudior, events, proposals… you name it. but now that I have a family of my own, i’ve leaned entirely into family photography. it brings me so much joy to snap the meaningful moments that are so fleeting in parenthood.

I graduated from Northwood University where my degree taught me how to run a successful business.  But how do you successfully capture a beautiful photo?  Well, I tell stories. I want to hang out with you. be a fly on the wall while directing, playing games, and Becoming BFF's with your 3 year old.  I connect,  I photograph, and make memories.  There's no teaching that. I'm a natural light photographer who will drag you out of bed at 6am for a beautiful sunrise session, or walk around your home and lead you into the beaming sunset rays.

 
 

Real. Raw. Authentic.

I want to give that to you.

 
 

“Hannah is an AMAZING photographer! Our engagement shoot was STUNNING! And our wedding was nothing short of amazing! She was professional, organized and our entire family and wedding party loved her! Our sneak peak brought tears to my eyes and I’m counting down the days until we get all the shots! I can not say enough about her!!!”

“We could not be more happy with how our photos turned out. Not only did she make us look like a Wedding dream, even though it was 100 degrees out, she also was on top of everything to make sure our day went smoothly and we were on schedule. My guests and wedding party raved about her. She is extremely sweet and kind and is always available to answer any and all questions. My husband and I would highly recommend her!”

“I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we enjoyed our session with you. As you know, planning a wedding can be stressful, but we have an added layer of not knowing how people are going to react to two brides. Often it's not intentional at all but it's the little things that can take away the feeling special (like getting the pronouns wrong over and over while amber was dress shopping). I had no doubt you would do a great job but you really made us feel special and beautiful. So thank you for just treating us like any other couple. So excited for next year.”

“Hannah captured our wedding perfectly! She’s not only a talented photographer but also has a very fun and bubbly personality that makes you feel like you’ve known her for years! I hope to have Hannah capture photos for us in the future”
