Waco Moms

Hi, my name is McKenzie. I specialize in Senior, Family, and Lifestyle Portraits. I also enjoy product and branding photography. As a new mommy to three beautiful babies and an auntie to 28 nieces and nephews, it is only natural for me to want to capture all their cutest moments. Through my lens,  I am able to capture my love for children, weddings, and family life. I can honestly say, "I love my job and I cannot wait for tomorrow's photo-shoot!"

I am a wife to Michael, the goofiest and wisest man I know.  I am a mom to a wild boy, named Hudson and the sweetest little girls Lucy and Claire.  I love Jesus and my desire is to make Him known and bring Him glory in this lifetime. We moved to Fort Worth from Austin a couple years ago, for Michael to start medical school.  I had a dream job on Young Life staff at the University of Texas at Austin after college, discipling college girls.  Then, God just placed photography in my lap and it has been such a blessing to be pursuing that these past few years. I love the work of capturing and celebrating love, its such a beautiful gift.

My name is Monica Lopez-Hagen. I am the proud mother of an adorable little boy, Diego, who has been an inspiration in pursuing my love of photography. I am the wife to a wonderful and supportive husband. I have known him since I graduated from college and started my first job. We moved to North Carolina in 2015 and we loved it there! I am an industrial engineer and worked for a global company in different operation and supply chain roles for 10 years before having my son and becoming a stay at home mom. I’ve always liked photography and once Diego was born I wanted to document every second of his life with a DSLR that my husband had bought me years ago. I realized that I was finally having the time to pursue my passion. I truly enjoy helping families capture their special memories. I began building my portfolio with my baby when I lived in North Carolina and continued to grow that portfolio when I moved to Tennessee. I’ve met such wonderful people throughout my travels, and I am excited to meet even more now that I am in Waco, TX.  I love to capture spontaneous moments with children and families but also capture the quiet and unique moments of a sleeping newborn. My rule is to take as long as we need to capture the perfect moments, ones you will cherish for a lifetime!
