Hi, I'm Lisa. I've loved beauty and families since I could remember. Who doesn't? We were made to recognize and enjoy it. 

People tell me God gave me a massive dose of creativity! Cameras, artwork and writing have been a part of my life since my Dad bought me my first Kodak 110 and since I could hold a crayon. I haven't stopped shooting or creating since! 

I love relaxing, cooking, and boating with my family, as well as drinking the World's Best Coffee with my husband (International Delight French Vanilla Creamer, please)!  I love eating healthy (lost 46 pounds and 3 clothing sizes 3 years ago, and am keeping it off)! I've had the awesome privilege of writing, designing, and publishing 3 books as well as traveling the world to help hurting families.

I love to look for and capture True Beauty in every person in front of me, and then see them release it to brighten the world! I do my best to help others realize they truly are beautiful, unique, and valuable! I'm thrilled to use every form of media and creative tool possible to help me do that!

This, my Friend, is my passion and specialty! 

I'm eager to hear from you, to capture the True Beauty in you and those you love most. Then, we can deck your walls and halls with images that stir your heart and create a space that is breathtaking, inspiring, and that you and your guests never want to leave!

Call or email me at my 'Contact' page, 
I'm looking forward to it,

-Lisa Hartell

My Family. AJ, Andy, Me and Andrew
