Photographer Vanessa Corral remembers reading an article about North Texas being the ultimate place to raise a family back in 2013. At the time, she, her husband, and their two young daughters were living outside of Sacramento, California.

The idea of a family-first community piqued her interest, so they took a field trip to check it out. Corral was immediately taken aback by the classic, all-American feel to Texas. While she initially envisioned Frisco to be too small a town, she found it to be a growing city with “beautiful homes and communities.

She also appreciated how polished everything looked: “Even the 7-Elevens are brick.”

Her husband, an engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), managed to secure an internal transfer, and three years after their initial scouting trip, they made the move to Frisco, Texas. The Corrals are now approaching five happy years in Frisco — and they’re just one example of thrilled, newly minted Texans.
