I’ve spent most of my life in Bellville. It’s a small town about an hour outside of Houston. Life here is simple and slow, and that’s how I like it. I love capturing everyday life here. The people have such passion for what they do and what they love.

Where small town living is a way of life. That’s how our chamber of commerce puts it. Bellville boasts a population of around 4,000 people, which means you’ll run into someone you know wherever you go. I like that.

The perfect day for me would begin with sleeping in just a little. I’d make some tea and walk around the yard in my pajamas. Since it’s almost lunch, Dad would start grilling some chicken. We’d all eat and talk in the kitchen. Maybe an afternoon filled with antique shopping or hitting up some estate sales. We’d then stop for margaritas and Mexican food in town and relax.

Wide open spaces.

Everything closes at 9pm.

We’re not all cowboys.
