Paula Ward is the founder of Paula Ward Photography. You can find her either spending time with her family or building her business as a creative entrepreneur. If you haven’t had the opportunity to meet Paula yet, here are 3 things she will likely tell you the first time you do.
1. Print your photos.
2. Travel when you can.
3. Do the damn thing.
Paula is a world-traveling, always learning, pasta-loving, polymath.
If you know Paula, she’s likely to have gifted you a blanket for a baby in your life, invited you to join her family for Easter or Thanksgiving dinner, had an impromptu book club about whatever book you’re reading because she’s read it too, or ordered you a dozen custom cookies in your favorite color and flavor.
In this entrepreneurial chapter of Paula’s life, she’s serving women in North Texas whose shoes she’s definitely stood in.
Raising two daughters, Paula understands the busyness of conflicting extracurriculars and dramatic swings in interests from growing girls. As a leader of a youth organization, she took on an important role in dozens of students’ lives with the ability to remind stubborn young people that who and where you are today is perfect, and who and where you’ll be tomorrow is perfect too.
In the past decade, she’s gained two sons and two grandkids and spends most long weekends and school holidays fostering traditions and making new memories.
And as if she’s been able to bend space and time, she’s also had a rewarding and inspiring corporate career that brought with it opportunities to learn, to lead, to travel, and to build global teams.
Regardless of when or why you work with Paula, you will experience this quality of hers firsthand: the unprecedented ability to make YOU feel special, unique, empowered, and worth celebrating.
EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS! We sent Paula some photos that inspired us and from there, she created an entire list and schedule that captured everything we wanted and more. She was extremely accommodating, even coming up with extra personalized moments to help make the day and memories even more special! She found moments in the day I would have never thought to have captured and those photos are some of my favorites! As photos and photoshoots can sometimes feel very stale, she was great in keeping us relaxed and actually made the time extremely fun and had great tips to help us look our best in each shot. Beyond thrilled that we picked Paula Ward Photography and for all the personalized touches she created during the overall experience.

Our family had the great pleasure of having Paula in our home to take pictures of our family. She's so easy going and quickly made everyone feel comfortable. Our 3-year-old is pretty reserved and within 5 minutes he was dancing around for her! It was the easiest photo session we've ever done because her style allows you to just be yourselves. I absolutely love the pictures, she captured such sweet little moments of our family together and completely surprised us with a video compilation - even with some video footage! We had no idea she was filming (was probably a good thing as we might have acted differently had we known!) I couldn't recommend more!
