Senior Pictures of a Girl and her Dog for Guyer Denton by Dallas Photographer Lisa McNiel

Guyer High School Senior Photographer - Portraits of a Senior Girl

This senior session began with darling blue-eyed blond Aryanna in a maroon floral romper in a park in a variety of light and poses with her corgi who STOLE THE SHOW! What a ham! But he couldn't outshine his best friend. On the bridge, superimposed on a brick wall in an old brick vintage town, with flowers in her hair, or on a fence.

Mom's perspective:

Ary is the SUNSHINE in our lives! She has a GREAT LOVE for animals and a BIG HEART for helping others. Ary has a BRILLIANT MIND that will someday make a huge difference in the lives of others. Her WICKED SENSE of HUMOR keeps us laughing to the point of tears! No one could ask for a more genuine, LOVING and LOYAL friend. Ary is a BEAUTIFUL young lady inside and out.

Ary loves music and knows exactly what she prefers to listen to on the radio. As a toddler in her car seat, Ary would insist on which songs we played on our drives. Still today, she takes charge of the radio from the second she buckles up! LOL

Ary makes my soul HAPPY and is one of the GREATEST BLESSINGS in my life! I can't wait to see what her future brings!

I adore the backlight and sun in her hair in an urban as well as country setting. Her expression and great pose with soft hands and wind in her hair are what I love most about this photograph.

You can see the blur and back light in this image from the park gives Aryanna dimension and depth.



Below is the one her family chose for their canvas wrap.


The greenery, flowers, and stone wall at the park frames her beautifully.


 Aryanna said her Van Halen concert t-shirt, black skirt, denim jacket and sneakers was her favorite outfit. She wore it at the end of our shoot by the bale of hay, on the train bed with an American flag, and dog, with little white lights, and in her car.


 The top two of this collage are more moody and delicate in a turn-of-the-century pictorial style, but with an updated twist of back lighting. In fact, the one of her looking out the beveled glass window and looking down also remind me of that style. It's fun to juxtapose that style against her sassy look in the tilted hat on the street smiling for the camera.



Oh my stars, will you look at this ham? That furbaby thought it was all about her!


When I can, I like to incorporate a sunset shot with more dramatic lighting, and her doggo smiled for the camera!






Those eyes!!!


This over-the-shoulder look with trees and light blurred in the back makes me smile!

Favorite Fifteen Bridal Portraits of Flower Mound Photographer Lisa McNiel

Lovely Jordan looked gorgeous in every one of her bridal portraits so I could never choose a favorite, but this is the one she choose, so I will go with it! She had an August wedding and we squeezed her pictures in at the last minute so she had to be a good sport in our Texas heat.

Stunning Sydney was freezing at dusk during the outdoor portion of her session as her wedding was in December, but the sun was still shining and the golden hour was perfect this day.



Kelley's background in theatre served her well in the dramatic style of portrait she wanted.


Anna-Marie's playful nature showed off her personality and made her look even taller than she is when she tossed her veil up in the air and caught it.


These steps near Allie's reception venue cried out for a Cinderella moment that her blond hair, ballgown dress, and darling figure accommodated.


Shelby is most easy-going bride I have ever met, and when her gown didn't come through, she quickly found another and they bought the veil on the way to the Bridal session! It was perfect for a backlit beauty.


Lindsey tragically lost her father to cancer the year before her wedding, so we found a way to pay tribute to him with her wearing his cowboy hat and boots at sunset in a few of the portraits.

I normally wouldn't post a picture of my daughter's backside, but my friend convinced me to hang this in the hall next to the stairs she is walking up. I do love the symbolism and that it shows her hair which has been a part of her look since she was a wee little girl.


Meagan's mom, Dawn, gasped when she saw this photo and I agreed with her. Nothing is as timeless as a beautiful face.

Molly had too many beautiful portraits to choose from. Her parents wanted a more traditional one of her smiling at the camera, which was darling, but this one of her looking out the windows of the Old Cotton Mill in McKinney, Texas was dramatic and tells a story.

Victoria... bride on a white horse. No explanation needed.

I just love everything about this one.


Tracey was wed at this beautiful venue in Colleyville. Her faith is important to her and the cross in the background worked out perfectly. Other things I like about this is the framing of the door, the details in her dress, and the back lighting we got by having her little sister crouched down, holding  light behind her.


Two for the price of one! Kristen had some terrific close ups and looking out of a window, but her venue added to the drama of her dress and dreamy veil. These were taken at Ashton Gardens in Denton, Texas.


Ashley's ceremony and reception took place in a fabulously rustic location in downtown Dallas. The photos there were all dramatic and a 10 out of 10 on the cool scale. This was in a little outbuilding.

Ok, so 16 not 15... I couldn't resist throwing in a bride sharing her bottle of coke with a dog whilst sitting in a 1955 white chevy. How often does that happen?
