Looking for a Photographer in Murphy?

Michael Anthony Photography serves Murphy 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.

Murphy is six square miles of family streets, Central Park's ponds and pavilions anchor the town, and its portrait calendar follows the school year: seniors in fall, families before the holidays.

We serve Murphy families in studio at McKinney, twenty-five minutes door to door for portraits designed as wall art.

About 25 minutes south of our McKinney studio.

Weddings

Murphy Wedding Photographer

Michael is a PPA Master Photographer twice named the #1 wedding photographer in America, with weddings documented across nine countries, and Murphy 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.

Families

Murphy Family Photographer

Family portraits are the heart of our work for Murphy. 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

Maternity Photography in Murphy

Our maternity sessions are the most personal portraits we make for Murphy 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: about 25 minutes south of our McKinney studio. Partners and big brothers and sisters are always welcome in the frame.

Seniors

Murphy Senior Pictures

Senior year deserves better than a school template. We photograph Murphy 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.

Dogs & Their Humans

Dog Photography for Murphy 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.

Murphy 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.

Professionals

Headshots & Personal Branding in Murphy

Polished, modern headshots for Murphy professionals, executives, agents, physicians, attorneys, and actors, photographed in the studio or on site at your office or venue.

Murphy Central Park · Maxwell Creek greenbelt · Timbers Nature Preserve (adjacent) · Neighborhood pocket parks, the landmarks of home. The portraits happen in the studio, where the light always cooperates.
