About Dazzling Light Photography
Meet Donna
Owner & Photographer
Hey there! I’d love to be your maternity, newborn and milestone portrait photographer. I know there are lots of photographers out there – so choosing someone who has the experience, a unique variety of sets and who you can build a relationship with is important.
A little about me: I’ve been in business in the Round Rock, Texas area for over 17 years, have won several awards for my images, and am a member of PPA (Professional Photographers of America). I’m so proud to share that the DLP studio has been voted #2 in the Best of Round Rock 2019, 2022 and 2023 (#3 in 2018 and 2020), and also recognized in the top 3 newborn photographers of Round Rock in 2020. As someone who’s so passionate about photography that I’ve dedicated my life to perfecting the art, I can’t help but want to capture more tiny toes, button noses and sweet smiles.
Whether you’re a brand new mommy, someone who’s been in the game for a few years, or you have yet to give birth to your precious bun, one fact remains true: portraits of your children are so important. Not just because they grow and change so fast, but because they last forever and your loved ones want to stay in the know! I can’t wait to meet you and start designing your experience!

Photography (duh!)
I know it sounds silly to mention this one, but I honestly LOVE what I do! I love all the aspects of my job, and also going out in nature to take pictures of flowers, landscape, animals, and abstract things that speak to me. I love working with my clients, many of whom become wonderful friends over the years. I enjoy designing their artwork and using my different crafting and creative skills to create unique sets for them.
#2:
My family
I have a great husband that has always been my biggest cheerleader in this crazy dream of mine. He’s also a huge help in creating some of the larger set pieces for our fairytale brand, Dazzling Daydreams. We’ve been together since 2010 and married since 2011. While we’re anxiously waiting to be blessed with littles of our own, our pups are our “fur-babies”. We adore them and they bring so much joy to our lives. We also enjoy volunteering at our church, watching movies, traveling, and playing video games.

My Dogs
These guys deserved a spot all their own! I may be a *tad* biased, but these 3 are the best darn pups anyone could ask for! Riley (in the middle) is about 11 years old and such a lover. He adores people and loves giving kisses, doing tricks, and generally being the center of attention. His favorite thing is bedtime, and he’d cuddle all day if you let him. Rainah & Roxie are sisters and 3 years old. They are spicy, sassy and sweet all rolled into one. Rainah (black face) loves tummy rubs and chasing dragonflies more than anything, and Roxie (light brown) thinks her nemesis is the family of squirrels that run along our back fence. They are both super smart and loving, and we can’t imagine life without them.

About Dazzling Light Photography
Meet shanna
Photography Assistant
Hi there! I’m Shanna—mom to two incredible adult children, lifelong dog lover (I’ve had eight sweet pups over the years), and someone who’s always had a deep appreciation for creativity, connection, and serving others. I’ve spent years leading in the catering world, where I get to combine my love for hospitality and content creation. But one of the greatest gifts in recent years has been reconnecting with my dear friend Donna and stepping back into the world of art and photography.
We’ve known each other for over 15 years, and I truly believe it was God who brought us back together at just the right time. Through that reconnection, He reminded me of the joy I find in the arts—storytelling through images, capturing emotion, and helping people feel seen and valued. Being part of Dazzling Light Photography feels like coming home in so many ways.
I’m incredibly passionate about what we’re building here. This studio isn’t just about taking beautiful pictures—it’s about creating lasting memories, nurturing confidence, and serving our community with heart. Watching Dazzling Light grow and imagining all the ways it can continue to bless others is something that fills me with so much hope and excitement. I’m honored to be a part of it, and can’t wait to see what’s next!

My Family
My family is my heart. Being a mom to two amazing children has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Watching them grow into kind, strong, and thoughtful people fills me with pride every single day. No matter how busy life gets, time with my family is what grounds me and brings me the most joy. They’re my biggest cheerleaders, and I try to be the same for them—always showing up with love, support, and a whole lot of hugs.
#2:
content creation
Working in catering has taught me so much about timing, presentation, and creating meaningful experiences. I’ve always loved the behind-the-scenes magic—making people feel special through thoughtful details and beautiful setups. Over time, that same love for creating something memorable led me to content creation. Whether it’s helping stage a session, style a set, or plan a visual story, I find so much joy in bringing ideas to life in a way that feels personal and impactful.
#3:
My Pups
Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore my dogs. Over the years, I’ve had eight sweet pups, and each one has held a special place in my heart. They’re more than pets—they’re family, companions, and a constant source of unconditional love and joy. There’s just something about the way a dog can brighten your day with a wagging tail or a snuggle on the couch. My home (and my heart) wouldn’t be complete without them.
Thank you Dazzling Light for the awesome experience that we had! We will have many amazing memories to display on our walls for the years to come! We look forward to the future sessions!
Dazzling Light Photography did an absolutely amazing job with our baby’s newborn portraits and our first family portraits! I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out! Thank you!
