“Lois was amazing! Contacted her through thumbtack to capture the moment I proposed to my fiancé, and she did not disappoint! The candids she got are gorgeous and we will cherish them forever! She did an engagement shoot with us after and made the whole experience fun and extremely memorable. If you’re looking for a great photographer, you’ve found her!”

Duncan and Macie’s Boerne Parks engagement session was so beautiful! Cibolo Nature Center is a photographer’s dream! Everything about the scenery there is gorgeous which makes it hard to take a photo that doesn’t look stunning. I just love the way Duncan and Macie’s outfits complement the scenery around them. Taking into account the location when you choose your session outfit is so important!

Duncan and Macie were so much fun to photograph and I loved that they brought their pups along! One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is being able to capture the way people feel in a photograph. And the smiles on their faces say it all, these two are truly in love.
