 My Approach

In 2017, I received the best Christmas present that I would ever open, a camera that my mom gifted me. Starting that day I began shooting landscape photos and nature shots, and it quickly developed into my favorite hobby. That hobby has only grown and into a passion for creating and capturing moments that will last a lifetime. My happiest moments are when I am looking through the lens and creating magic with my clients. I want to be more than just your photographer, my #1 goal is to be a friend.

My name is Asantae Haanstad, and I am a San Diego based photographer. I recently just relocated to CA from MO, and am very happy to be back on the west coast where I was born. I started taking photos back in high school and fell in love with capturing life's little moments and the idea of documenting love. I am 22 years old and outside of taking photos, I enjoy spending time on the beach, traveling, and spending time with my dog Coco! In my free time you can usually find me in a local coffee shop drinking a vanilla latte or spending way too much money shopping on Amazon.
