About The Freckled Key

Hello, hello!! My grandfather greeted us with this exuberant "hello" when we visited, and I've since taken it for myself ;) Hannah Key here, the photographer behind The Freckled Key Photography! I’m a wife to my high school sweetheart (together since 2002), and mother to two intelligent, hilarious, beautiful girls, Maxine and Dorothy. I don't often wear makeup, but I LOVE fashion and you will often find me sporting a menagerie of mixed patterns paired with my favorite sneakers. If you’re still reading, you also need to know that I LOVE sugar. The only reason I eat greens is so that I can eat sugar. I eat dinner SO THAT I can eat dessert. You get me? My hands are always busy - I'm a pallet knife oil painter and a writer with a knack for baking. If I’m not behind a camera or cleaning up after my girls, you will likely find me wielding a pallet knife, a black pen, or a rubber spatula. I'm an extroverted introvert meaning I adore people but I recharge by spending time alone. Thanks for stopping by - I truly can't wait to meet you!
I am a wife, a girl momma, and an artist at heart daily attempting to find beauty and joy amidst the chaos and the mundane, celebrating the beautiful everyday. I can’t wait to meet you!

About A TFK Session

Since the birth of my first daughter in 2015 I found that the seemingly perfect images I was seeing on social media were just not what my life was looking like - and I felt lonely in that. Where were the other screaming babies? Dirty dishes? Couch cuddles with no makeup? Not-so-quiet mornings at home? I wanted to believe that surely I wasn’t the only momma whose life was not curated, clean, and perfect! Determined to find contentment in the chaos of my everyday, I became intentional about photographing our normal life: the no-makeup, dirty-hair, nothing-but-a-diaper-wearing toddler life. And you know what? I found freedom in taking and posting these images. It didn’t take long before I began approaching my family sessions in the same way: searching for and documenting the beauty amidst the chaos, the snuggles and the sword fights, the quiet enjoyment of a cup of coffee and juggling a newborn with a toddler at your ankles. These are the moments that make up our incredible existence, the little things that when we are 50, 60, 70 years old we will look back on and remember with absolute fondness.
