Oh haaaay! It's Molly.
I've always been an energetic, spunky girl constantly craving change. I thrive off of meeting new people and this job has given me an opportunity to be adventurous and fun. Photography allows me to be creative, stay in the moment, and improvise which is exciting and refreshing!
I currently specialize in family portraits (pets included), maternity portraits, newborn lifestyle shoots, elopements, and micro-weddings (100 people or less in Monterey/Santa Cruz County).
The Melicia Family
“Molly is an absolute gem & a master of her trade! I can't say enough great things about our experiences with Molly, from start to finish! We've turned to her time & time again, to capture the most important moments in our new families journey together. Each time she has surpassed all of my hopes and expectations and has brought to life some really incredible visions for us. Being a Mom herself, she has a very calm and understanding demeanor, which really helps to ease the tension and chaos of family photos.”
Sam + Kam
“"I feel elated, excited, genuinely shocked at how amazing photos come out given at any time we could have babies running in different directions & a sweaty mom & dad just hoping everyone cooperates. Molly has been capturing photos of my little family for years. We return to her for her stylistic eye, use of natural light, & ease of booking. She makes the shyest of toddlers feel comfortable. I'm always amazed each photo shoot how she captures our family dynamic perfectly- little moments that I will cherish!"”
Brittany + Pablo
“"Molly is a wonderful photographer & such a sweet soul. She has a way to make you feel completely at ease which allowed our personalities to shine through. She is imaginative & adventurous & as a result we have some beautiful photos to treasure forever. It was truly a magical day, we were all in the moment together and it came through in her images. The intense laughter, the sweet silences, and all the little times between. I cannot thank you enough."”
Jamie + Dalton

“I highly recommend Molly Hansen! She photographed me when I was nine months pregnant and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. And the photos are so beautiful! I couldn’t believe the amount of amazing pictures she was able to capture in our session. Molly is easy to connect with, easy to work with, incredibly organized and very talented.”
Kayla + Ryan
“I found Molly on IG and loved how the captures the moment. She was our wedding photographer and did not disappoint! Our package included an engagement session and she was great. Molly is very personable and made the photo shoot comfortable and fun. Our two toddlers responded very well to her and we now have beautiful pictures of them!
We were also very happy with the photos from our wedding. She was able to take very personal photos all while being extremely respectful of our day."”
The Ayzner Family
“Molly is an integral part of my family at this point. I first found her in 2016 while planning my wedding. She documented true to life emotions and captured our joyous feelings through film. When we got pregnant a few years later I knew Molly was the one I wanted to contact for maternity & newborn photos. She has such a calm and grace about her that puts you at ease to show your true self while she takes your photos. When our son turned a year I knew I needed Molly to take our pictures again!”
