If you ask any of my seven (yep, you read that right—seven!) siblings, they’ll tell you I was the “annoying little sister who always had a camera in hand.” Now, I strongly object to the annoying part, but I will agree that I’ve desired to freeze moments in time for as long as I can remember.
Rather than asking for toys as a kid, my Christmas lists included cameras, video recorders, and editing software so that I could direct home movies and stage photoshoots. I mean, what’s the point of having all those siblings if it’s not so you can talk them into modeling or acting for you?!
As time passed and my talent matured, I began to imagine what it would be like to turn my lifelong hobby into a full-time dream job. So, when a family member asked me to photograph their wedding in 2020, it was all the push I needed. New camera: purchased. Online photography courses: booked. And in 2021, when my husband and I relocated from Washington to Texas, Lois M. Photography was officially born.
From racing across horse pastures by my childhood home to capturing elegant “I do”s at elegant Hill Country venues like The Preserve and Prospect House, life had totally transformed in what felt like an instant. But I thrived when given the opportunity to serve couples by encouraging their creativity and respecting their uniqueness. Every wedding that couples like you have trusted me to capture since has been a true “pinch me” moment. And I hope yours is next on my calendar!

Hey there, I'm Lois!
Sunset chaser. Fitness lover. Holistic lifestyler.
Growing up the second youngest in a large family, I quickly learned to find moments of calm buried in the chaos. It’s a skill that’s come in handy as I reassure worried couples that their vision will absolutely come to life against all odds on their wedding day, unforeseen hiccups and all.
I enjoy the simple things in life—a clean, organized home inspired by my latest trip to The Container Store, an afternoon spent splashing in Canyon Lake or exploring Enchanted Rock with my husband, Nick, and our three kids, Kora, Tristan, and Titus, or working up a sweat (or should I say “glow”) at Pilates. Add in uninterrupted quiet time to read my Bible while sipping an americano with golden monk fruit…now, that’s my very own slice of heaven on earth.
As the girl who once spent six hours a day practicing for the coveted first-chair viola spot in the Portland Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, I’m still a highly motivated enneagram type three. I just have slightly different goals in sight—namely, curating wholesome, graceful galleries that share every laugh, tear, and unseen moment from your wedding day so that you can relive the full story of the day you said “I do” forever.
