 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.

Began with a passion

My name is Asantae Haanstad, and I'm a midwestern gal living in Springfield, Missouri! 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 20 years old and currently attending college and pursing a double major in Strategic Communication and Graphic Design!  Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, and spending time with my 6 month old Havanese dog named Coco! In my free time you can usually find me in a local coffee shop or watching my favorite show at the moment Stranger Things.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Just a gal and her camera
