I’m Hannah — a mum of three and the photographer behind HB Photography in Exeter. Family photography is my heart and my focus: I specialise in creating natural, story-driven portraits that celebrate the everyday connections between parents, children and extended family. My work is about more than posed pictures; it’s about capturing the tiny details and honest moments that will mean the most in years to come. My approach is gentle, flexible and child-led. Whether we’re shooting in my warm studio, at your home where your family feels most relaxed, or out at one of Devon’s beautiful locations, I aim to put everyone at ease. I know how unpredictable little ones can be, so I use calm, patient direction and fun prompts to coax genuine smiles and interactions — the sort of images that feel real and alive. I also photograph newborns and baby milestones as part of a family story: from those sleepy first weeks to the cheeky cake smash and splash sessions that mark birthdays. Safety and comfort are my priorities with babies — I take time to settle them, work around feeds and naps, and always create a relaxed atmosphere for parents too. For maternity clients I offer studio and in-home options to capture that special, expectant glow alongside the rest of your family story. What sets HB Photography apart is a blend of empathy, experience and a storyteller’s eye. As a parent myself I understand how fast life moves; I love helping families freeze those fleeting moments so they can be treasured forever. My sessions are collaborative — I’ll guide wardrobe choices and locations if you’d like, but I also listen to what matters to you so the final images reflect your family’s personality. After the shoot I carefully edit images to bring out warmth and emotion, delivering them through a private gallery so you can choose the prints and keepsakes that suit you. If you want natural, heartfelt family portraits in Exeter and across Devon, HB Photography offers a friendly, professional service that puts your story first.
