My name is Lorilei (pronounce Lori-LEE) Zapata Cronin and I am former Kindergarten teacher turned attorney. I have always had a passion for photography and capturing special moments. My entire life I've been known as the "Historian" for family and friends and at any special events. Whenever people need to remember something (especially pre-camera phones and social media), they know they can count on me to have it all documented. Since I was a kid, I loved taking photos and looking at them over and over because it allowed me to relive that special memory. I worked in a photography studio when I was in college at The University of Texas and loved learning from some of the best. I am married to my college sweetheart (Tory) and have an amazing son (Killian).
When people say that the time flies by and all of a sudden your babies are all grown up, they are right. Blink and you'll miss it! The same is true for your special events. Let me create a fun environment for you and your loved ones to be yourselves and let's capture some happy moments you'll be able to look back on years from now and relive those same feelings of joy over and over.
Whether it's a family session for your Christmas cards, your Kindergarten, 8th Grade, or high school graduation, or your surprise proposal or engagement, I can capture these special moments in time. I also love special events (HoCo, service projects, school functions, etc.) and sports photography (football, cheer, basketball, volleyball, track, cross country, swimming, wrestling, etc.). My goal is to deliver photos that you will be proud to share with your family and friends.
When you choose me as your photographer, you will receive photographs to treasure for generations to come. You will fondly remember these moments frozen in time and be so grateful you have them to look back on so you can relive these precious memories.
