I was taking pics before I could even tie my shoes.
By high school, I was yearbook editor, obsessed with capturing what was unfolding and turning it into something you could keep forever. I’ve always had a sentimental heart, and more than a decade in this industry later, that same feeling still drives and inspires everything I do.
THE ARTIST BEHIND THE CAMERA
What I Love
Good sandwich spots, comedy shows, thrifting, and updating my Letterboxd before I even leave the movie theater. Frogs, lighthouses (thanks to my Granny), and a good book or binge-worthy series. When I’m not glued to YouTube or a podcast, I’m scrapbooking or staying up too late looking at vintage jewelry on ebay.
My Love Story
My fiancé Alec and I are getting married this spring! We first crossed paths back when we were both working at HEB. We later realized we’d gone to the same elementary school, lived in the same neighborhood, and shared the same friends, but somehow missed each other by just a year when I moved to the next town over. (Strong believer in invisible string theory) Now here we are, engaged, building our life together, and completely obsessed with our precious sweet angel baby dog, Mickie.
Our Hobbies
We’re lovers of sunshine and pretty weather. Happiest outside playing some trendy sport at the park, floating the river, or exploring a new city. We’re creatures of habit too, ending the night with a home cooked meal and YouTube trivia (or a movie), either way popcorn is mandatory. If we’re not home, you’ll find us at the Tex-Mex spot around the corner or playing darts at our favorite dive bar.

A Few of My Favorite Things
Raised by a 2000s scrapbook mom, I have a professional level nostalgia problem. If it can be taped, glued, pressed, or turned into an art journal page, count me in. I love things that feel collected over time, a little nostalgic, a little unexpected, but full of character. That’s pretty much how I see the world.

How I Fell in Love with Documenting People
Nostalgic, Candid Wedding Photographer Based in Texas
A baby pink point and shoot digital camera from my dad on my ninth birthday quietly set everything in motion. What started as curiosity slowly grew into purpose. That small gift became the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of preserving connection, long before I ever knew this could be my career.
Based in Houston and traveling across Texas and beyond, I photograph weddings, lovers, and growing families with a nostalgic, candid perspective that leans editorial, feels vintage, and stays honest to what’s real.

On the Bucket List
ROATAN, HONDURAS
These are places I have roots in and places I’ve been dreaming about for years. Some feel like home, others feel like adventure. If your wedding is set in one of these locations, mention it in your inquiry. I’m often able to be more flexible with travel when a place already has my heart.
The Hartsells
A peek behind the lens. This space holds wedding galleries, engagement sessions, and candid family stories captured in Houston, across Texas, and throughout the world. From grand venues to intimate backyard ceremonies, from courthouse vows downtown to slow Sunday mornings with growing families, these are the images that linger. Nostalgic, full of love, and always rooted in real connection.
