Looking for a Photographer in McKinney?
Michael Anthony Photography serves McKinney from our private McKinney, Texas studio, award-winning wedding photography and film across Collin County and the greater metroplex, plus fine-art family, maternity, senior, dog, and headshot portraits.
McKinney is home, literally. Our nearly 2,000-square-foot studio sits on West University Drive, minutes from the historic downtown square, and it's where most of our Texas families, mothers-to-be, and seniors are photographed under studio light.
Being the hometown means McKinney families simply have it easiest: the gown wardrobe, the hand-painted backdrops, and the projected artwork reveal are all minutes from the square.
Our studio calls McKinney home, 8430 W University Dr, on the Frisco-Prosper border.
Photography Services in McKinney, TX
One studio, every chapter, from the first ultrasound photo to the wedding aisle. Each session below is its own craft, with its own page to explore.
McKinney Wedding Photographer
Michael is a PPA Master Photographer twice named the #1 wedding photographer in America, with weddings documented across nine countries, and McKinney couples book that same artistry close to home.
We photograph and film weddings throughout Collin County and the wider metroplex, from Beaux-Arts Dallas landmarks to Stockyards hotels and Collin County chapels and vineyards, with no travel fee anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth. Every wedding is photographed, and filmed, as legacy, not coverage.
McKinney Family Photographer
Family portraits are the heart of our work for McKinney. Most sessions happen in the private McKinney studio, sculpted lighting, hand-painted backdrops, and wardrobe guidance for every family member, so the finished portraits feel like art rather than a template.
It's why families from across Collin County make the drive: light that never depends on the weather, a session that runs on your children's pace, and an in-person reveal where we design the wall art your home is missing.
Maternity Photography in McKinney
Our maternity sessions are the most personal portraits we make for McKinney mothers. The studio's couture gown wardrobe is included, there is nothing to buy, and every frame is directed and lit so you feel like the subject of a painting at the height of an extraordinary chapter.
The McKinney studio is appointment-only and reserved exclusively for you: our studio calls McKinney home, 8430 W University Dr, on the Frisco-Prosper border. Partners and big brothers and sisters are always welcome in the frame.
McKinney Senior Pictures
Senior year deserves better than a school template. We photograph McKinney seniors in the studio with editorial direction, wardrobe planning, multiple looks, and set changes that give announcements all the variety they need, no weather required.
Athletes, musicians, dancers, artists: bring the jersey or the instrument. The goal is a portrait confident enough for the graduation announcement and beautiful enough for the wall.
Dog Photography for McKinney Pets
They're family, we photograph them like it. Studio dog portraits on hand-painted backdrops, lit like fine art, made with endless patience and a pocket full of treats.
McKinney dogs and their humans are equally welcome in the frame, and many families pair a dog portrait with a family session in a single studio visit.
Headshots & Personal Branding in McKinney
Polished, modern headshots for McKinney professionals, executives, agents, physicians, attorneys, and actors, photographed in the studio or on site at your office or venue.
Personal-branding sessions go further: an art-directed library of editorial images for your website, press, and social presence, built around what you actually do.

Portraits Worth the Drive from McKinney
The historic downtown square · Adriatica Village · TPC Craig Ranch · Erwin Park, the landmarks of home. The portraits happen in the studio, where the light always cooperates.
We don’t take photos, we craft legacies. The portrait on your wall should mean more every year it hangs there.
