Southlake Carrol Senior Pictures of Soccer Player by DFW Photographer Lisa McNiel

Southlake Carroll had a fantastic soccer season and finished with some hardware due in large part to their senior class. Jake McKinney was part of that leadership 2019 senior team and will have memories for a lifetime as a result. He's headed to Baylor University in Waco, Texas to study this Fall and I think his family is grateful that he won't be TOO far away and that his mom can continue to root for her alma mater!

"Jake has always been a great kid. He has always been a quiet, smart kid! We are so proud of him. He's played soccer his entire life and played other sports growing up as well. My favorite smile is when he's not trying to smile but instead is laughing or smiling at something funny. "- Maille McKinney

Marcus High Salutatorian Senior Portraits by DFW Photographer Lisa McNiel


Nimisha was Salutatorian for the 800+ class of 2019 at Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas. She'll be heading to College Station to attend Texas A & M in the Fall and her sweet parents described her so well, I decided to let them write the blog!


The most kind and gentle girl I have seen. Not just because she is my daughter, but, have heard from her friends how she always greets and introduces herself to any new student who comes to school. She says It's not easy to try and join an existing group and all belong to some group here. She can identify a spice when she puts a morsel of food in her mouth. It always amazes me every time she tries something new. Loves to watch cooking shows, don't ask me why. Considering we are vegetarians. Very organized at school and on top of her things, at home however is a completely different story. To her credit, she has started keeping her room organized recently now that she will out of home in about a year's time. LOVES SPORTS. Her favorite are the DALLAS STARS. Her dad would watch the Stars games with Nimisha on his lap and she would watch the game, don't know why, how If only I had known childhood TV would have such an impact on her mind. She loves mommy's hugs and wants to be fed even now. Am scared how I am going to spend my time when she goes away to school. She has a deep laugh and loud one too. I know she is a sincere person with a heart of Gold. Am a better person today because of her. Love her to the moon and beyond. My little one, my Allirani.

Hi, I'm Nimisha's father. I would also like to post something about my daughter. From the first moment I saw her, when the nurse put her in arms until today, am so proud of my little girl. She has made me proud of her achievements - right from learning to eat cheerios by herself to now, learning to drive a car and become independent. Along the way, she has taught me so much about being a good father, a good husband, and most important - a good human being. She has overcome so many hardships and challenges, all the while maintaining her core values and nature. The best part of her childhood for me was when she would wait for me to walk into the house after work everyday. Her mother has recorded it too - sharp 5: 30 pm in the evening, she will crawl and sit by the door into the house waiting for me to open the door. Love her so much and I wish her all the very best in life and pray god gives her all her desires!!!!

Senior Pictures for Marcus Marquette by Highland Village Photographer Lisa McNiel

Dang, can Graycen dance!!! I loved watching her on stage at the Marcus Marquettes Spring Show. The strength and grace with which she moves is only surpassed by the emotion and expression in her face and limbs. And she is precious. Loved by anyone who knows her, I've never heard a negative word about his beauty. I loved photographing her handsome older brother Luke in 2017 *which included some of my favorite mother/son pictures ever) and Graycen for the class of 2019. 

She was one of my Senior Models, so you can also see her in 7 Tips on How and Where to Take Prom Pictures,  and Festival Fashion.  She plans to head to University of Arkansas to pursue a degree in nursing, and I think her mom may just have to move to Fayetteville, because a bright light will have left her home!

Plano East Senior Pictures by Dallas Photographer Lisa McNiel


Plano East's Nichole Anspach brought her mom and little sister on her Senior Session in Flower Mound and Highland Village. Her white dress, black dress with soft pink and burgundy flowers were perfect for the urban look, especially paired with my gray fake fur jacket. Then black skinny jeans with a rust and baby blue striped BoHo blouse with leather sandals showed off her athletic figure. She finished up her session in a Winter white sweater and gray bulky sweater with tan boots, and we grabbed a quick shot in her University of Colorado T-shirt!

Beautiful, Brainy Athlete - DFW Senior Pictures by Photographer Lisa McNiel




Claire's presence on my model team was refreshing from the beginning! Her intelligence, style, and great attitude brought a spark to the "Friends TV Show" session,  "7 Tips on How to Take Prom Photos" and a Traveling Dress shoot.


She graduated from Grapevine Faith High School with honors and will be attending Texas A and M in the Fall. While there she was involved in soccer, cheer, volleyball, beach volleyball, track and field, National Honor Society, student council, a mission trip to Costa Rica and a mission trip to India!
Her favorite memory at school is winning the state championship in soccer with her best friends, not once, but twice! She has loved snowboarding with her brother since she was four years old. He takes her on extreme terrain all day long, and even thought she feels like she's close to dying, 9 times out of 10, there's nothing she would rather be doing.


Claire would love to go to law school and become a criminal lawyer and she would really love to end up in Colorado.
