Senior Pictures of a Beautiful Dancer in Organic Locations - by Dallas Photographer Lisa McNiel

Organic, outdoor session of a beautiful dancer!


Nichole was the captain of her drill team so I knew she'd be easy to pose. She wanted an all nature session, no urban or concrete shots, just flowers and fields and getting her toes in the grass.

We lucked out with the beautiful weather and settled on a sunny field and the grounds of Texas Womans University in Denton for the location.

A white sundress showed off her beautiful coloring and was easy to move in for dance.

She was super excited to be attending Texas A and M in College Station and had a cute banner to show it off.

Senior Pictures in Denton by Flower Mound Photographer Lisa McNiel


pretty girl in urban setting

Denton Texas Guyer high school has a darling, stylish girl named Gabriella. She has striking blue eyes and great style. I squealed at every outfit she brought out! We did her photoshoot in an old book store, and urban vintage town with great graffiti, a sun-lit field with daisies, and a historic bridge. She nailed every pose. Here's a little more about her.

She loves her golden retriever, Piper. Her favorite sons are Speechless by Dan Shay and Knee Deep by Zac Brown Band.

She's very adventurous and loves to travel and try new things. She's involved in dance and school. In her free time, Gabriella likes to travel within or near Texas with friends to places that are different or interesting. 

Her favorite quote is "See good in all things," and one of her favorite memories is when her parents let her and a few friends go to Oklahoma for the day to go to Turner Falls and a few other places. She said is was super fun and memorable because she got to spend the day with her friends somewhere new and they felt so free (although she regrets how tangled her hair got from riding in a jeep with all the windows down on the highway!)

Michelle had these fun memories to share about her daughter: 

When Gabriella was born she had two little red marks that looked like lips on her cheek I called butterfly kisses. I knew then she would be free spirited and have the wings to fly on her own. She's marvelous in every way with common sense & strength. She has style that bears her own signature, & has confidence money cannot buy. Gabriella loves to Paint, Decorate & Equestrian riding.
When Gabriella was 4 yrs old she scotch tape up our whole coffee table. I saw her stand back and look at that table with the since of satisfaction and completion that I didn't have the heart to peel it off for some time. Gabriella is spontaneous, witty and simple true to herself. She marches to her own beat based on moral, values and a whole lot of fun! As her mom I couldn't ask for a better daughter soon to be a beautiful woman that has a positive outlook on life and will find joy in every journey.
