VDSA sessions



At Hannah Kate Photography, I believe every family deserves beautiful photos—and a photography experience where their child is understood, supported, and celebrated. 🤍


I’m not only a photographer; I’m also an occupational therapist, with experience working with children of all abilities and support needs. I understand that sitting still, looking at the camera, following directions, tolerating new environments, or interacting with an unfamiliar person may not come easily—and **that’s okay**.


These sessions are designed specifically with the special needs community in mind. There’s no pressure for perfect smiles or perfect behavior. We can take breaks, move around, explore, use sensory supports, follow your child’s lead, and give them the extra time and patience they need to feel comfortable.


My goal is simple: to create a safe, flexible, judgment-free experience where your child can be exactly who they are—and to capture the beautiful, genuine moments that make your family yours.

Testimonials

We had such a wonderful experience working with Hannah! She was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout the entire session. She made everyone feel comfortable and never made us feel rushed, which made such a difference when working with our son who is very camera shy. She even sent a video of herself the day before introducing herself to my son so he would know her face when he saw her the next day.


Communication was also excellent from start to finish. She was responsive, clear, and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. The entire experience was relaxed and fun and we absolutely love how our photos turned out.

Testimonials

We were given the sweetest opportunity to work with an occupational therapist who is also a photographer, and she did AMAZING with Jaden! 🥹📸💙


Before we even met, she sent Jaden a little video introducing herself and showing him her camera so he could get familiar with her and what she would be doing. I thought that was such a special and thoughtful thing to do for him. 🥰 She was so quick to connect with him, so sweet, patient, caring, and just knew exactly how to interact with Jaden and meet him where he was.


This was such a wonderful opportunity, and I’m so thankful she chose us! We haven’t had pictures done in quite a while, so it meant so much to have these special memories captured. ❤️
