I'm the photographer behind zaydascanon, based in Fort Worth, Texas, and a proud University of North Texas alumna with a degree in Kinesiology. While my education led me in one direction, my heart ultimately led me somewhere else.
Meet Zayda
After graduating, I chose to pursue photography because it offered something I valued deeply: the opportunity to build a career doing work I genuinely love while creating a life that allows me to be present for my two daughters. Taking that leap of faith was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and it has given me the privilege of documenting some of life's most meaningful moments.
I specialize in photographing couples because I believe every love story deserves to be remembered with honesty, intention, and beauty. The moments that matter most are rarely the perfectly posed ones. They're the quiet glances, the genuine laughter, the way you naturally reach for one another, and the emotions that can't be recreated. Those are the moments I find myself drawn to, and they're the moments I strive to preserve.
My approach is calm, thoughtful, and guided by connection. I want you to feel comfortable enough to simply be yourselves, allowing your story to unfold naturally while I document it with a timeless perspective. My goal is to create photographs that feel elegant yet authentic, images that not only reflect how your love looked, but how it felt.
It is an incredible honor to be invited into such meaningful seasons of your life. Whether we're celebrating an engagement, your wedding day, or simply documenting this chapter together, my hope is that the photographs we create become lasting reminders of the love you share and the memories you'll cherish for generations.
I believe the most meaningful photographs happen when you're fully present with one another. My role is to create a space where you can slow down, enjoy the moment, and simply be yourselves while I document your story as it naturally unfolds.
From the moment you inquire, my goal is to make the experience feel seamless, relaxed, and personal. I'll answer your questions, help you prepare for your session, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
When we meet, don't expect to spend the entire session standing still and smiling. I'll gently guide you when needed, but I'm far more interested in the moments that happen naturally—the laughter, the quiet conversations, the way you instinctively reach for each other's hand, or the look you share when you forget the camera is even there.
My approach is centered around genuine connection, creating photographs that feel timeless, romantic, and true to your relationship. Rather than chasing perfect poses, I focus on preserving real moments and honest emotions, so years from now your photographs bring you back not only to how everything looked, but how it felt.
More than anything, I want you to leave your session feeling like you spent intentional time together, with photographs that tell your story in a way that feels authentic, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
