My name is Gillian, and I'm an Austin, TX based photographer and Texas native. I have a knack for finding the most magical and intimate settings to frame life's most cherished moments. My clients describe my work as true-to-life, full of joy, authentic, and fun! While I have chased the thrill of documenting events and cities across the world, it's the beauty of intimate gatherings, the sweet tenderness of engagements, and the free-spirited allure of elopements that truly sets my heart aglow. As an experienced empathetic storyteller, I am dedicated to capturing the truth of your story and illuminating the spark that make it uniquely yours.

I am so happy with the images Gillian captured at my party! I feel like she was able to re-create the feeling in the room through her photography. I wanted spontaneous and organic images and she completely delivered on that request. I would absolutely recommend Gillian to anyone wanting to capture true moments of connection and joy! Gillian was also really easy to work with - professional, easy communication and prompt with all commitments. 10/10!

Gillian was great to have at our son’s second birthday party. She was able to get plenty of family group shots as well as great candid photos of all of the kids playing. My wife and I were very happy with the results and highly recommend hiring Gillian for your next event. She is punctual, responsive, professional, and takes wonderful photos.

I really liked working with Gillian. She was gave great directions and made it easy to get comfortable for my first head shots. Showed me photos as we went along, and I was very impressed with them even before I got the final product.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I price competitively, but ultimately, our time together is a collaboration. Let's see what we can make happen!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to know what inspires you! I prefer to have a 10-20 minute call with you leading up to your event/session, but I am also down to text or email.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a background in theatre performance and directing, as well as technical skills. I am always thinking about the composition of a shot, the continuity of your look, and the overall story you are trying to tell. At my heart, I'm a storyteller with over 18 years of experience!
