HANNAH!!!! you’re amazing! You did an excellent job capturing our family. Georgia ended up getting real sick that evening so I was sure the whole shoot was botched with her looking so sick and the dang horse. BUT did amazing and made the most of it. Thank you!!!! - Ashleigh

You are incredible!! These are so special thank you so much for capturing such a special time in our lives. Let me know when they are all uploaded. I don’t know how I am going to pick! - Sally

Thank you so much for capturing these beautiful photos of my family. We aren't use to others taking our pictures but you made the experience incredibly comfortable, natural, and easy. Hudson enjoyed every second being outside with you. We look forward to working with you again soon. Happy holidays! - Nichole

Thank you sooo much! We are still looking at them all but I wanted to thank you for capturing so many great moments with our kiddos. Still can’t believe our son was so wild AND you still managed to capture us 😊. - Amber

Thank you so much Hannah!!! I have to admit, Landon and I looked at each other afterwards and said there's no way you could have gotten good ones. Jack was moving a mile a minute, and Claire was extra bashful. Of course we were wrong and this gallery is filled with precious moments. You are the best!!! - Heather

Hannah,

We are blown away by all these photos. What you did was magical. The studio, garden, and florals were stunning and you took the most special pictures of my family. We are so grateful and appreciative that we got to participate in this event to kick off your studio. I am sure this studio and garden will be the backdrop of so many fun and creative shoots. You are so talented and have always been so wonderful to work with. Thank you for all that you did to capture this sweet season in our lives! 🥰

Aww Hannah these are breathtaking!!! You always capture the beauty in our family even when the kids are super energetic and running around. Thank YOU for hosting such a generous and thoughtful event for your clients and inviting us into your beautiful studio. From the delicious cookies and wonderful make-up and hair service you provided, to these amazing photos, we can’t thank you enough and are so grateful for you! Excited for the rest of our sessions with you as Danica gets older. Also excited for my sister and her family to see you and your blooming garden this Saturday :)

Thank you again!!! - Tina

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE.  As always. You are so so talented my friend. Thank you for these treasures! - Delbarr

Oh my goshhhhhh stop!! You are so freaking talented these are perfect 🥺 Absolutely love them! I was really afraid we didn’t get many good shots because Windsor was so antsy but you were so good with her and you caught SO many good moments! Pirates booty and all! Thank you so soooooo much! One day we’ll have to do a session again with the new babe too!! - Hailey

Hannah! Oh my, these are so incredible! I can’t believe these are only sneak peaks. I literally teared up looking at pictures of Ella and Oliver. You captured them so beautifully! Thank you so much! - Megan

It was so nice officially meeting you and having our pictures taken. I been following your pages for years and have always wanted you to take our pictures. We are so excited! You made us feel so comfortable! Probably the best photography session we have ever had. I cannot wait to see the pictures. - Morgan


Our time with Hannah was absolutely incredible! From the instant we met her outside the car she made us feel comfortable and excited for our session! Her personality lit a smile on our grumy toddlers face. She knew exactly how to capture magical moments all while our busy little girl wanted to be independent and play. We were at ease and enjoyed the entire experience! Our pictures will decorate the walls of our home and be cherished for a lifetime to come! Hannah’s talent is indescribable and as a photographer myself, I aspire to be half as gifted as her! - Meghan

 

I AM ACTUALLY DYING RIGHT NOW. These are the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever had!!!! Oh I cannot wait to get these printed once I figure out which ones. I will never be able to decide. You have such a gift Hannah!!!! I know I will cherish these forever. - Allison


Hannah! I adore these, thank you so much! I will cherish these images with my sweet girl forever! Thank you for sharing your gift and talent with us, these mean so much to me! - Kate


Hannah with The Cottonwood Collective is the absolute best! She’s so easy to work with, very patient with small children, and always delivers special photographs that you’ll truly love forever. She has such a great eye for capturing the prettiest light and will go the the extra mile to get the perfect shot! I recommend her to friends every chance I get because I know there’s no one else who compares when capturing life’s most precious moments. 

My family recently moved to Houston, and I tried using some local photographers, but they never turned out quite as well. So when I had another baby, we planned a special trip back to Dallas to have Hannah capture our family in the way that only she can. It was the best decision, and we can’t wait to come back and see her next year! - Katie


Seriously the prettiest pictures I have ever had taken! Love these so much. Thank you💕 - Cami

Hannah!!! I love these so much!!! How am I ever going to choose my favorites?! I can't wait to frame them around the house. Truly, thank you so so much!! And yes, photog meetup this summer! We'll make it happen :) Thanks again! - Liz


A sneak peek?! There’s more?! Oh my gosh my heart is bursting I love these so much! Can’t wait for the rest! Will definitely be requesting to print some! They are beautiful! Thank you! - Krystal 

Thank you so so much Hannah!! These are absolutely beautiful! I’m not sure how to pick which ones to print they are all sooo good! Thank you also for making this such a smooth and stress free session :)  - Nicole

These look awesome!!! I never ever thought I would get these back this fast and they look amazing!!!!!! Made me cry! So so special. Happy Mother's Day to you!!!!!! Thank you so so much Hannah. They're perfect and we enjoyed our time with you! ❤️❤️ - Ashley


These are so gorgeous! You did such an amazing job capturing our family! I can’t stop looking at them! Can’t wait for the rest. Thank you so much! :) - Audrey


Oh Hannah! These are absolutely beautiful. I cannot believe you captured all of these amazing moments despite two busy toddlers.
Thank you for saving the day for us. We adored working with you. I will be in touch for more photos soon because I know these babies grow too quickly. Lindsay


Hannah! THANK YOU!! Aww wow the pictures are gorgeous! They're perfect for spring! That was such a fun first studio experience for us! I'm so glad you suggested this. I especially love the photos of the ones with Eli holding Stella on the floor. You always know how to get them to stay still which is amazing! We already can't wait to see you again in a couple of months :) Thank you again!  - Tina


We are in love with the photos!! Thank you SO much for capturing this sweet time so beautifully!! You were so great to work with! Will definitely be reaching out for updated family photos through the years! - Laura Penn

 

We were just looking through these again to order prints and I wanted to tell you how much Jacob and I love these photos and how grateful we are to have worked with you! We hope to work with you again in the future. :) Thank you so much! - Emily


Hannah!!! OMG!! You are UNreal. These are amazing — I am over the moon excited! I have never seen Rosie Bea react so positively to ANY person before. She absolutely lit up with you and it was so fun to see. Normally she gets really shy and sucks her thumb the entire time, but she LOVED you, as did we all. You were wonderful - cannot thank you enough!!! - Tara



My entire family absolutely loves working with Hannah at The Cottonwood Collective! She has such a natural ability to engage with my family while also capturing the most stunning images. She is joyful, encouraging, and always such a positive person to be around. My children are drawn to her and she has an effortless way of making them smile. We could not be more thankful for our friendship with Hannah that has grown over the years as she’s beautifully captured some of the biggest milestones of our lives! We love you Hannah! - Roberts Family

The pictures are gorgeous, Hannah! I love love love them. You are such a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with you again in the near future. - Susan



We’re obsessed with these already!!!! Love them so much!! Thank you for sending a sneak peek over, I can’t handle some of the solo shots of Willa!! I already know I’m going to have such trouble picking out our favorites!!! - Kerry




Just wanted to send a quick note to say, thank you so much for the sneak peek photos - we are LOVING them all!! My mom is over the moon and sending all kinds of emoji texts about each photo, haha! Thanks again! - Maureen

We LOVE the photos! Thank you sooo much!! We look forward to taking pics with you every year from now on :) Thank you again for being so wonderful with the kiddos and capturing their joy! - Lee Family

We had such a great experience taking maternity photos with Hannah! Our original session was postponed a couple of times due to inclement weather and Hannah was flexible with working with us to reschedule our session. Hannah gave great direction posing us, and though it was an overcast and windy day, she was able to capture the perfect windblown look with great lighting. We are so pleased with how our photos turned out and we have already scheduled our newborn session. Can’t wait to see how those turn out as well! - Kylie
