Lisa McNiel Flower Mound Senior Picture Photographer serving Dallas, Fort Worth Texas: 2020

A girl and her horse... If you know any girls who love horses, then that statement alone brings an understanding of the mystical relationship they hold. Chloe is one such girl, and her beautiful horse, Sam, and white puppy, Cooper, had to make an appearance in her senior pictures.

She has all kinds of blue ribbons for equestrian events with her horse, Sam, graduated Marcus High School with honors and currently attends Oklahoma University in Norman. She also achieved the highest honors possible as a girl scout! But a resume doesn't tell one's true story. It's just a snapshot of one aspect of a life. I hope I was able to catch a bit of the spirit and personality of this sweet girl.

I love doing senior pictures and can be found in the Dallas Fort Worth area at Lisa McNiel Photography

Chloe's favorite songs are Knockin’ Boots- Luke Bryan, Mind Your Own Biscuits- Kacey Musgraves and The Hard Way- Turnpike Troubadours.

Her favorite personality traits are that she's kind and outgoing. In addition to competitive horseback riding and Girl Scouts, she was involved in Young Life and Circle of Friends in high school. In her free time, Chloe spends time with family, friends, and horses.

Chloe's favorite quote is Hebrews 11:1 in the Bible - "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." And her favorite memory is watching the stars in a truck bed with her friends at camp.

We started out with a family portrait, as they wanted to include their fur children.

I always ask parents for some of their favorite memories and stories about their child. It helps me prepare for their session and as a mom, the stories are fun to read!

Here is Marianne's account of Anneliese...

Anneliese has always been a thinker, a reader and wonderful child to be around. She has always enjoyed school, and loves to be social. She’s always been great to have an intellectual conversation with. From the time she was in first grade, seemed like no matter where we went near or far, she always saw someone she knew, either kids from school, the parents of kids from school, or teachers. No doubt, she has always been my little social butterfly. At the age of 3 she was using words like “distinguished” to describe her outfits. Strangers were always very impressed by her phonics and the use of language at such a young age. All the way through school, she absolutely hands down LOVED the library, she has always checked 2-3 novels out AND actually read each one. I used to get frustrated with her in elementary school because her backpack always had 3-4 library books in it and I’d say “how can you read all those and keep up with each story, from one to the other?” And she’d say, “I just can mom!!” Lol
She’s passionate about animals, especially dogs. We recently had to put our 12 year old dog down & that was really difficult for her. If I would let her have 12 dogs, she would literally be the happiest girl in the world. But her mom is not a dog person. Lol
She has been in theatre since kindergarten and absolutely loves it. That was her fondest memories with her friends I think all through school.
She is graduating 6 months early and will be traveling abroad soon after to Germany to work and increase her German vocabulary.
She loves to write, read and draw. She Is very headstrong and can debate with the best of them. I’m really very proud of her, she is on her way to doing great things for herself as well as others.
