WHERE THE HEART
GROWS GREEN PHOTOGRAPHY
Hannah Mayo




H
i I’m Hannah.

Like many artists, I fell in love with my craft young. Some of my favorite memories are piling into the car with my best friend, headed to a shoot. We’d take turns directing and photographing each other, rush home to edit, and share the results with the world. Then we’d do it all over. Rinse & Repeat. After college, I was given the oppor- tunity to shadow a wedding photograp- her who helped me hone my passion. (Tae — if you're reading this, I owe you my life.) What just started as shadowing turned into being a second photographer, which turned into booking my own wedding clients and by the Grace of God, the creation of Where the Heart Grows Green.
Greens have always inspired me — the way light filters through leaves, how nature holds space for both softness and wildness. There’s a Latin word, verdant, that means green, growing, and lush — exactly what I want my work to feel like. Green, as in your natural self and the natural rhythm of a moment. Growing, as in growing your love, your family, or a dream you’re chasing. Lush, like something full of life, full of color, full of you.
You inspire me.
It’s my promise to document your moments — big and small, that make your story yours. I love both directing a creative vision and quietly observing natural rhythms. The big smiling group shot matters just as much as your grandfather’s tear or a whispered secret between you and your partner. If you’re looking for a blend of directed editorial photographs and raw, emotional candids- I’d love to work with you.
