I’m Yamel David, the creative eye behind Heart Locket Photography — where every image is a keepsake of life’s most precious chapters.

My journey with photography began in a season of rebuilding — after loss, I found light again through the lens. What began as a simple hobby became a path toward healing, discovery, and purpose.

While studying at Oral Roberts University, I was first introduced to the art of photography. Later, at Bernhardt Winery in Plantersville, Texas, I learned how to weave emotion and atmosphere into every frame. Each experience — every flicker of laughter, every sip of wine shared beneath the golden hour sun — deepened my love for storytelling through stillness.

Photography, for me, is more than taking pictures. It’s preserving the feeling of a moment you’ll never get back — the way your child reaches for your hand, the quiet conversation between two souls in love, the generations of family gathered in one embrace.

Through my work, I strive to create timeless imagery — photographs that feel like memories you can hold.
Let me help you capture the moments that define your story, and the love that lives within them.
