Hi, I’m Hannah Mae, the photographer behind Memories by Mae.
Photography has always been about more than just images to me. It is about preserving the moments that pass quickly but mean the most. The quiet in-between moments, genuine laughter, and the connection between people are often the memories we want to hold onto.
When I am not photographing sessions, you will usually find me exploring new places, spending time outdoors, or planning my next adventure. I believe the best photographs come from real moments and authentic connection, and it is an incredible privilege to document those moments for others.
My goal is always to create an experience that feels relaxed, enjoyable, and meaningful so the photos we create together reflect the memories behind them.
Hello, I'm Hannah Mae
My style is inspired by natural light, beautiful landscapes, and authentic emotion. I focus on creating images that feel effortless and timeless while still staying true to the moment. Rather than stiff posing, my sessions are guided in a way that encourages movement and interaction so your photos feel natural and genuine.
I am especially drawn to locations that feel meaningful. That might be a beautiful outdoor landscape, a place that holds memories for you, or somewhere new that we explore together. Travel and nature have always been a big source of inspiration for me, and that influence shows up in the way I approach photography.

my inspiration
Whether we’re walking cobblestone streets in Paris or standing barefoot in a lavender field, I approach each session with presence, calm, and intention. I believe in soft direction over stiff posing, organic movement over perfection, and thoughtful edits that preserve the mood of the moment.
Each gallery I deliver is crafted not just for now, but for the years ahead—for the day you forget the way your partner looked at you mid-laugh, or the way your child’s hand fit into yours.
The Experience
Have a story to tell? I’d love to capture it. Let’s begin with a simple note.
