We all eat, and it would be a sad waste of an opportunity to eat badly.
Anna ThomasHannah, a true East Coaster originally from Boston, has lived in both Philadelphia and New York. Born with an artistic inclination, she spent her formative years drawing and painting. Her passion for photography blossomed in high school, leading her to pursue Photojournalism and Fine Art Photography during her university years. Like many university students, she needed a job. Hannah found herself immersed in the vibrant Philadelphia service industry, both serving and behind the bar, where she gained extensive experience over six years working under various culinary concepts, renowned chefs, sommeliers, and bar directors.
After completing her degree, Hannah ventured into the PR sector, specializing in content creation for celebrity and big-name company clients. However, her true passion for food and hospitality was re-ignited during nights spent cooking elaborate meals with friends in their small Boston kitchen. Hannah began taking photos of these gatherings and quickly realized her calling—food photography and hospitality marketing. In 2021, she made a decisive career shift, leaving her PR role to join a prominent Boston restaurant group as Marketing and Digital Media Manager. In this position, she significantly expanded the group’s social media presence, achieving a 200% organic growth in just one year.
In 2023, Hannah relocated to Los Angeles, where she joined af&co. as an Account Manager for Social Media Marketing, continuing her career trajectory in the hospitality industry. Her background in Photojournalism informs her storytelling approach, focusing on comprehensive narratives and attention to detail.
When Hannah is not at work, you’ll find her dining out (perhaps a bit too frequently), cooking elaborate meals at home, listening to records, or going on hikes alongside her partner and their beloved dog, Fran.
