About Your Photographer
Hi! I’m Hannah Ellis, a two-time Mississippi State graduate whose photography journey actually began by photographing my friends graduating from MSU. Since then, seniors have remained such a special part of my business.
After spending so much time on campus, I know the best spots, the best light, and all the little details that make an MSU session special. I even pause most of my other scheduling during November and April so I can focus on my seniors during their busiest season.

Your Senior Booking Process:
Additional Important info
⁰ᨵᩥ⁰ Rain policy- If there is a chance of rain on your date scheduled, we will collaboratively work together on adjusting time or rescheduling to a date that fits your needs better, but I am sure to hold enough space during
grad season to prepare for rain checks!
⁰ᨵᩥ⁰ My turn around time will always be before your graduation date. In the case we have to schedule close to grad time, I will always send out sneak peeks within 48 hours of your session! (Normal turnaround time can be 3-4 weeks, just for reference!)
