My name is Whitney Krenek, the girl behind the camera. I am a wedding and lifestyle hybrid photographer. I aim to capture key moments in peoples lives and create a story for them to relive for years to come. Everyone has a story to tell and I am passionate about sharing those stories through my photography.

Fall is the perfect time to capture those special moments with loved ones, and Highland Park Town Hall provided the most stunning backdrop for this recent photoshoot. The warm hues of the autumn leaves, the beautiful natural light, and the timeless architecture of the town hall made for an unforgettable session.
In this photoshoot, I had the pleasure of working with two adorable children who looked absolutely charming in their fall outfits. The young boy sported a cozy sweater and khakis, while his sister wore a stylish dress with a large black bow, making them the picture-perfect pair for this festive season. The smiles and energy they brought to the session really made the photos pop, capturing the joy and warmth of the moment.
Whether itβs for a family session, seasonal portraits, or milestone moments, outdoor fall photoshoots provide a unique and magical touch. The combination of vibrant leaves and natural settings creates a soft, flattering glow on the subjects. With the right planning and styling, these photos become lasting treasures.

Here are some of my favorite options for what to wear for a maternity shoot. Youβll see a common theme in most (white!), but many of them come in other pastel colors as well. If white isnβt your thing, try a blush pink, lavender, mint green, or pastel blue. Click any of the images below to shop!
I am so excited to share with you Abbey's Bridals from the beautiful Dallas Arboretum. The Arboretum is definitely a stunning place to take portraits to celebrate your upcoming wedding! I have loved getting to know Abbey & Adam this past year.
Bailee & Trever were such a pleasure to work with. Bailee expressed to me she envisioned being photographed on a rooftop in Shreveport. Instantly I knew where exactly we must go, to the beautiful Remington Hotel & Spa is.

It was such a pleasure photographing Teal's Wedding last night, I couldn't wait to share her beautiful bridal session that we did recently. Teal you are an absolutely beautiful bride and I wish you & Thomas the best in your marriage! Thank you again for letting me be apart of it.
My personal source of this styled shoot was to show all my future brides and those bride to be's how to incorporate the modern look in your bridal session or wedding day.
I am so incredibly excited to share this beautiful couple with all of you! I am still SO thankful that Teal loved my style photography and wanted me to capture their upcoming wedding in October at the Remington Hotel downtown located in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Taking a first glance at these images, those of us who live in Shreveport / Dallas are thinking. "Is that really not that far from us?"

All you need is a little bit of patience and a adventurous outlook to get to Petit Jean State Park.
I am so very excited to share this maternity session on my blog for many reasons! First I'd like to introduce Dove Hollow Estate, a new venue located in Longview, Texas.

I am very excited to share all these images from a recent styled shoot that Laura Caraway hosted! The idea for a styled shoot is to collaborate with local venders. ( Florists, photographers, videographers, cake bakers, calligraphers, wedding planners and more!)
I think South Side Lamar's rooftop was perfect for them! After they basically were super models we headed to the lovely Texas Discovery Gardens where I love to incorporate a little bit of Texas into my sessions.. :)
This sweet baby girl was simply perfect during her very first photo session. Not only did she naturally pose for the camera, but she gave me the sweetest looks and had my heart melting.
