    In this episode, we go all the way back to the beginning... before the business, before the brand, before the camera ever clicked. I’m sharing the real story of how I found myself, claimed my power, and built Hannah Rachael Photography from the ground up. This is about the messy middle, the big dreams, the breakdowns, and the breakthroughs that led me to create a business rooted in art, self-worth, and liberation. If you’ve ever wondered where it all started, this chapter is it.

  • The Chapter Where We Almost Quit Before We Even Started

    The Chapter Where We Almost Quit Before We Even Started
    2025/05/13

    Welcome to our very first episode of The Next Chapter Is Hers

    ... and trust us, it almost didn’t happen. Between mic malfunctions, rebooting mid-sentence, and three hours of tech support, we hit every roadblock possible. But we showed up anyway, messy, raw, and real.

    In this episode, we (Hannah & Heather - yes, we’re sisters!) open up about what finally pushed us to launch this podcast after months of resistance. We talk about people-pleasing, perfectionism, growing up 10 years apart, and how boudoir photography helped us heal more than we ever expected.


    Whether you're feeling lost, late, or like you're rebooting in the middle of life, we want you to know that you belong here.

    Welcome to the next chapter, main characters. 🎙✨
