Homemaker & Photo Taker.

Specializing in personal connection, hugging you even though we just met, endless book recommendations, and some pretty good pictures too.

“Hands down, the best!”

“Despite having a pandemic, tornado-weather, power-less reception and down-sized wedding, Victoria was the only constant in our plans and delivered amazing pictures. Don’t search anymore if you’re looking for a photographer that feels like a friend and holds your hand throughout a stressful time (like a wedding during Covid lol). We can’t thank you enough, Victoria, for all you did for us. Can’t wait to use you again for future shoots!” ~ Camila

 Meet Victoria

Hello and welcome!

My photography journey started in an undergraduate fine art class that I needed to graduate. Little did I know that class would eventually lead to some of the greatest adventures of my life! From shooting a wedding in Disney, to photographing one of my closest friend’s births, to hiking to photograph a remote Glacier National Park elopement…I’ve had quite a few adventures.

Since the start of Victoria Hartell Photography 7 years ago, I’ve made it my mission to create natural feeling, joy filled moments that feel like memories already.

I’ve been in your shoes a handful of times and I work hard to make your experience one to remember. One that your kids will enjoy. One that even your husband will say he had fun with (true story, this happens quite a bit!). I’m here to both create memories for you in real life, and on the camera.
