about me

Fun + Adventurous + Unique + Natural

A little bit more about me-

My name is Hallie, but all my closest friends call me Hal. If you were to run into me on the street I’d probably be listening to Elvis Presley, rockin’ the same pair of white sneakers as my 90 year old grandma, and telling you the latest history fact I learned. The most important things in life to me are my community of family and friends. Traveling makes my heart happy & I do my best thinking + dreaming in the window seat of an airplane. I loooove things that are “old-timey” and I am a sucker for a good museum. I’m a night owl & my goal is to always make you feel the love of our King & Savior Jesus Christ. I’m so glad you’re here & I can’t wait to know you— so lets get to know each other! 

A little bit more about my passion-

I’ve loved cameras for as long as I can remember. My dad is a videographer and as I watched him work + travel the world, I knew I wanted to do that too one day. I first bought my camera to document my own travels around the world & then realized photography was just as much of a passion of mine as traveling was. So flash forward to today- I find one of the most rewarding things about photography is documenting a moment in time that people can cherish forever. They can look back on it, share it with their friends, hang it up in their house, and pass it on to the younger generation. Photos last longer than any of us & I hope we can link up to create memories that you can show your grandkids one day. 

1) Top Three Favorite Places

San Diego is my happy place. You’ll find me there once every 3-4 months. Dallas, Texas is my home and I will always be a Texan. & Hawaii is my current home. Yes, I picked up my whole life and moved to an island in the Pacific, 4000 miles away. 

2) Go to Karaoke Song

I don’t do Karaoke, but when I do: my go-to song will always be Lose Yourself by Eminem. He is the Greatest Rapper of all Time + you can’t change my mind. 

3) Teacher

Teaching is and will always be one of my passions. I have my Bachelors in History & my Masters in Education. I’ve taught High School for the past six years & still continue to get mistaken for a student. For real though, teaching someone something they didn’t know before and then celebrating them when they learn a new skill— there is nothing more rewarding. 

4) Faith

Faith is main reason behind my business and my photos. It is the reason for all the encouragement, all the smiles, all the joy, and all the meaning. There is no greater misson & purpose in life.

5) Favorites

Here are a few of my favorite things—-

Texas A&M (GO AGS), acai bowls, the pacific ocean, pilates, skydiving, college football, black + white photos, and some goooood mexican food. 

6) Genuine

I truly believe in surrounding yourself with people who will challenge you + communicate with you + lift you up. The biggest thing I look for in people & myself is consistency and loving others well.
