Missions Trails Mini Session | The Schaub Family

Hannah Mann November 13, 2015

Sweet kids, a happy family, and a chilly fall afternoon.

Hey, friend!

I'm Hannah! I’m a film photographer and videographer in Boise, Idaho, where I’m raising three crazy little loves with my man and documenting love stories of all kinds in the most beautiful way. {Read more}

Instagram happenings...

We drove from Boise to San Diego in one shot today, which is a ridiculously long day for all of us, but these three did AMAZING - as in, so amazing I’m in disbelief. 🙌🏻 And now I’m SO excited to see family and friends and all of my clients, eat burritos and In-N-Out, soak up the warm weather and this gorgeous, hilly coastal city, and then return home to my quiet, peaceful, uncrowded #idahome. 🙃 😆

This was one of those photos that as soon as I saw it, I knew it would be a favorite for a long, long time. And 2.5 (or 3..?) years later, it still is! I’ve missed photographing couples during my time away from weddings (though it’s been a good and necessary time as well), and I really am eager to begin booking weddings and engagements again. So that being said, if you or someone you know is planning a 2019 wedding or elopement, get in touch! I’m available for travel as well, and would just love to capture one of the most meaningful days of your life! 💕

This afternoon I got a very sudden, very bad headache. The boys were playing in my room and I laid down and dozed off for just a couple moments (which is so rare for me, as I never, ever nap) before I was startled awake by Parker crying because he hurt his finger. I was still in that very confused, totally incoherent post-nap state (the exact reason I don’t nap) when a moment later I heard my phone ringing downstairs. On my way down to get it, still dazed and confused, I had one clear and oddly calm thought: Justin and Adelaide were in a car accident, and this was him calling to tell me. I picked up the phone and Justin said right away, “Adelaide and I were in a car accident.” And I told him, “I knew you were going to tell me that.” It was clear right away that they were both completely fine, for which I am obviously eternally grateful, and it was also very clearly all the other driver’s fault. Things like this are a stress for sure (especially since we’d just today spent a fortune on our other car with some needed maintenance), but that’s it; they’re a stress. The car will be fixed, Adelaide said she was “startled” and not scared (she’s always cool as a cucumber 😎😂), and life goes on. But what a strange afternoon, and one that leaves me wondering if I was given that knowledge before that call because I needed it (which has happened once or twice before), or if I’m just paranoid enough that anything could go wrong and I’d think in my half sleep that I already knew what was going to happen - you can be the judge. 😂 Either way, I said a lot of extra thankful prayers tonight for these two. #fuji400h

Your house doesn’t need to be perfect. It doesn’t need to be trendy or updated. It doesn’t need to be anything really, except home. And boy, would I love to photograph you there. The temperatures have dropped swiftly here, but that doesn’t mean that you need to wait to have family photos done, and in all honesty, you’re missing out if you don’t consider doing a session in your most important sanctuary. Embrace the season, and let’s make some magic. P.S. I know of some fantastic Airbnbs if your own home really won’t work for a session. I’d love to put them to good use! // Home and family on #fuji400h
