Modern Glam for any Age by Flower Mound Photographer Lisa McNiel

Jill Welke has been working for a cause since I first met her about 19 years ago. She produced the huge Dallas area "Make A Wish" fundraiser for years until her family moved to Flower Mound.  They met someone with Cystic Fibrosis and decided they wanted to help... Here's what they accomplished in 10 years:
