Welcome to Hannah Layne


Welcome to Hannah Layne Photography! I'm Hannah, a photographer based in the beautiful San Francisco East Bay Area. My journey into photography began during my career in marketing and communications, where I discovered a passion for editing images to align with corporate branding. That passion quickly grew as I started capturing my own branding shots.


After becoming a mom, I had a revelation — I was always behind the camera and never in our family photos (and to be honest, I still often am not!) This sparked a deep desire to offer affordable family photography to my community because I believe every family deserves to have their cherished moments beautifully captured. I’m here to help you create lasting memories with images that reflect the love and uniqueness of your family.


Do you have a kiddo with autism or ADHD? No problem! Working in the autism space myself, I know the unique approaches to make the most out our session while still capturing everything that makes your kiddo unique. Reach out to me with any questions about how we can make this a positive experience for everyone.


I keep my prices affordable by managing all bookings personally, versus through a program, having slightly extended turnaround times to accommodate my full time career, and only offering limited availability. But if you're flexible, I promise I will provide you and your family some beautiful memories.


In addition to family photography, I also offer corporate and professional headshots, event photography, branding sessions, and commissioned landscape photography. Whether it's capturing your business image or a special moment, I'm excited to work with you to create stunning visuals. Let's capture something beautiful together!


"Hannah was extremely supportive and her creative eye led to some great photos. I was nervous to put myself in front of the camera but her warmth and enthusiasm immediately put me at ease. She made me feel confident and beautiful in a vulnerable moment and I couldn't be happier with the end product."
