Grapevine Faith Soccer Star Senior Pictures in Las Vegas and Deep Ellum, Las Colinas, Flower Mound, and the Studio.

Sydney Mammoser was on my 2020 model team, which means she got to participate in lots of different group shoots before her senior photo session. You can see her below in the Valentines Day shoot we did in February.

Southlake's  Sydney M. was 1st Team All State in soccer at Grapevine Faith for three years!!! What? That's crazy!

At Grapevine Faith High School, she is not only in Varsity Soccer, but Varsity Track, National Honor Society, Senior Cheer, and was selected for the Gary Sinise Soaring Valor Program, and Coach appointed leadership program.

Above are photos of Sydney in the Prom Group Shoot during her junior year when we did pictures at the Canal in Los Calinas, and also the group shoot we did where the juniors were able to model clothes from Runway Seven and we did an evening photo shoot in Deep Ellum.

Right before the school year began we braved the heat of August in Dallas, Texas and did a Powder Puff Football session.

Then in November, we had the amazing opportunity to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada for Senior Pictures for photos among the plane wreckage, antique cars, and vintage buildings of the Nelson Ghost Town.

Outside of school she plays ECNL soccer for FC Dallas, volunteers at the annual Operation Smiley charity, Southlake Like Christian Youth Group, Gateway Students and she nannies for two kids!

Sydney's favorite quote is, "Do something today that your future self will thank you for." Her favorite memory is when her mom surprised her and took her to New York City to see Hamilton. Senior pictures Westin Lake Las Vegas

Those who know her say she's easy going and likes to have fun, but also works hard in groups, charities, and her community, a real role model.Senior pictures Westin Lake Las Vegas

Then in the evening, we opted for the Freemont Street backdrop in Las Vegas rather than the strip for a neon vibe and a little more freedom!

You can tell she got her looks from her gorgeous mama! Such a fun experience with these two!

The last event and group shoot was in January of 2020 before Covid-19 shut everything down. We did a college shirt shoot inside and she showed her Sooner pride in a OU shirt!

Allen Soccer Player Senior Pictures

Edwin II and his soccer-playing family came from Allen to Flower Mound to do his senior session.  You never know what the weather will be like in the Spring in North Texas and we had to end it a tad bit early due to lightning!

He was happy, relaxed and had those Southern manners I love so much! This handsome young man is studying at KU now, and I'm eager to see what the future holds for him.

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

pretty teen in white dress

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.

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.
