Can Serana turn you into a Vampire Lord?

Understanding the Transformation
To become a Vampire Lord through Serana, you must first complete the necessary quests that lead to her offer. This includes delving into the Dawnguard storyline, making key choices that affect your relationship with Serana and the Volkihar Clan.
