My name is Hannah Preissler. I was born and raised in Giltner, Nebraska and I am currently living in Columbus, Ohio. (Nebraska friends don’t worry, I will be spending the summer of 2025 in Nebraska photographing all of my clients’ lovely events!) 

In May of 2024, I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a Bachelor of Journalism. I majored in Sports Media and Communication and was a pole vaulter on the track and field team. I will forever cherish my time at Nebraska and all the opportunities I was given during my four years in college. 

Since moving to Columbus, I’ve started working as a barista at Crimson Cup, where I make coffee and chat with customers every day—a combination I love!

In my free time, you’ll often find me sipping coffee (of course!), reading a good book, spending time outdoors, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. My dream is to one day open a photography studio with my own coffee shop next door in the same building.

Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I first picked up a camera around the age of eight, mostly capturing nature and animals. In 2010, my mom and I went on a photo safari through Yellowstone, an experience that deepened my love for photography, especially landscape shots. There was something so peaceful about wandering with a camera, taking in and capturing the beauty of God’s creation. Over the last couple of years, I found myself drawn to portraits, discovering the joy of capturing people’s unique personalities and stories.
