Mia+Eric
DFW
There’s something so special about wanting to document who you are right now. Not because of a ring, or a milestone, but just because this chapter matters, too. That’s exactly what this McKinney TX couples photography session at Adriatica Village was all about.
They came to me a little nervous (understandably). They’d had a bad experience with a past photographer. No guidance, no direction, just awkward silence and a whole lot of not knowing where to put their hands.
But that’s never how it goes with me.
I believe photography should feel good. Comfortable, collaborative, a little like being in a movie you didn’t know you were starring in.
My job isn’t just to show up and click the shutter. It’s to create a space where you can drop your shoulders, take a deep breath, and forget about the camera altogether. I guide every step of the way so you’re never left wondering what to do or how to stand. It’s all gentle and intuitive, like a conversation more than a pose.
By the end of the session, Mia and Eric weren’t just relaxed, they were glowing. They even thanked me for the experience, and that stuck with me.
Adriatica Village is one of my favorite spots to shoot in McKinney, Texas. It’s got that old-world charm with winding stone pathways, archways, a little waterfront, almost like stepping into a storybook.
For couples looking for something timeless with a touch of wanderlust, it’s a dream. The variety in backdrops means we can create a gallery that feels like multiple locations in one: romantic corners, open skies, textured walls, and cozy tucked-away spots that let connection shine.
We used every bit of it.
Mia brought three outfits and honestly? We used them all. One felt cozy, one felt flirty, and one just felt right for where the light was hitting in that last spot we found.
And Eric? He’d just bought a new truck, he was so excited to show me all the features. So once we wrapped, we got a shot of him and Mia next to it. Because that’s part of the story, too. These tiny little life details that’ll mean even more five, ten years down the road.
To feel safe and to feel Seen.
