Hi, I’m Hannah—the voice behind Host Stand and your go-to creative for all things food, storytelling, and content creation. I’m based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and work with clients both locally and remotely. With nearly 15 years of hands-on experience in the food and beverage world—working as a barista, manager, catering server, and in back-of-house prep—I’ve developed a deep understanding of what makes a meal meaningful and a guest experience memorable.

These days, I offer photography and videography services for restaurants, hospitality groups, farmers markets, vendor markets, food bloggers, brands, and recipe developers. Whether you're launching a new menu, promoting a product, or need scroll-worthy content for social media, I’ve got you covered—on-site in Charlotte, NC or from my home studio. I also provide consulting for restaurants and hospitality groups, helping elevate customer experience and streamline operations with a practical, people-first approach (and a little tough love when needed).

When I’m not behind the camera or in creative mode, you can usually find me at the farmers market before sunrise, experimenting with veggie-forward recipes, or diving into one of my many other creative hobbies. I love a good tablescape, a vintage glassware find, and meals that feel just as special on a Tuesday as they do at a dinner party.

If you're looking for content, consulting, or just a little inspiration, I'm glad you're here. Let’s work together to bring your ideas to life..
