Engagements

Engagement Session at Devil’s River Distillery

Chris and Alma are getting married at Devil’s River Distillery so naturally, we had their engagement session there. We walked around downtown and then took some pictures at their wedding venue, and just walking around made me so excited to photograph their wedding day! After we took some photos near the River Walk, we went to a rooftop and I am in love with those shots. Even though this was their first time getting pictures taken, Chris and Alma were so natural in front of the camera.

Before the session, Alma told me that she was pretty nervous. But afterwards, she told me she felt so much more confident and ready for the wedding day! This is why I always recommend scheduling an engagement session with your wedding photographer. It is the perfect, low-stress moment to not only get more comfortable in front of the camera but more comfortable with your photographer. Alma said after this session she felt relieved because her trust in me as her photographer strengthened.

Kind Words

“Lois was so great for my engagement photoshoot!! She was super kind and patient with us and she gave us recommendations for poses to help us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Our sneak peek and full gallery came to us so much quicker than I expected and all the pictures looked amazing! When there were issues with viewing my gallery she responded quickly with a solution! I would recommend Lois to anyone who is looking for someone fun and professional to do their photoshoot!”

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET lois

Art with soul. Moments with meaning. Work led by intention.

Photography has always felt like second nature—an extension of how I move through the world. I grew up on a country property in Oregon, where most days were spent outside—filming home movies, dreaming up scenes, and photographing whatever caught my eye. I studied viola and piano, and that early love for rhythm and light still shapes the way I photograph today: with presence, intention, and feeling.

I’m the second youngest of eight, raised by Romanian immigrants who taught me to dream boldly and love deeply. Over the years, I found myself drawn to beautiful, refined storytelling—creative in approach and rooted in capturing true emotion. In 2021, I officially launched Lois M Photography. Since then, it has grown into a full-time business anchored in story, soul, and imagery that reflects life at its most honest and beautiful.

Today, I live just outside San Antonio with my husband, our three kids, and Luna, our mini dachshund. I find joy in the everyday—faith, family, music, strong coffee, and the kind of love stories that endure.
