I'm Hannah Ruth!
Beach photographer, coach + the girl who used to be terrified of beach sessions!

Born on Cape Cod, now living + photographing on the sunny beaches of South Carolina.

I’ve been a Myrtle Beach beach photographer for 12+ years, and trust me — I did NOT walk onto the beach knowing what I was doing.

I struggled with harsh light. I second-guessed my settings. I didn't always know where to put people. And when the weather changed? I panicked.

But after photographing hundreds of beach sessions, I learned how to read the light, work with whatever the beach gives me, and create bright, natural portraits consistently.

Now I teach other photographers how to do the same — without taking 12 years to figure it out.
