In the wise words of The Alison Show – “If you feel called to do it, freaking do it.”
Well, my talented, crafty friend has decided to launch a new business – and I’m sharing lots of sneak peaks before her full site launches next month. We met before her photo session to discuss what all she would need to illustrate her business. Our list included:
- headshots
- mini-workshop
- finished products
- various crafts in progress
And yes, she was decked out fully in wool during our humid August photo shoot (that’s dedication to knitting, I tell you what).
Next we wanted to show what a typical Gather Art workshop could look like. Lisa invited over some friends for a paper marbling workshop. Lisa set up all the supplies in her backyard (imagine the same at your house :)) – and the crafty friends got to work. See above and below for various steps on the process from mixing to dipping to drying to framed finished work.
After the workshop, I photographed the width and breadth of items Lisa can teach you to make – from paper arts to pom pom balls to fingerless gloves. Any skill level is welcome (kids included).
And right before I packed up all my photo gear, we got some work in progress shots for other possible workshops to consider. Whether you love embroidery, want to take your knitting to the next level or are curious about how to weave, she’s got you covered.
Make sure to visit her website and sign up for the newsletter to be the first to hear when her workshops launch. And then tell all your friends 😉
While I typically focus on family photography, I’m always happy to utilize my photographic skills in other ways – from party photo booths to commercial projects. If you have a side project that needs photos, more info HERE or contact me below:

For my latest family portrait session of the summer, we headed downtown to explore the Seaholm Power Plant, Butterfly Bridge and Austin Central Library. There are so many good spots in that two block radius. Even though it was over 100 degrees, this family was a delight – and full of smiles (and we made good use of my portable fan and had lots of water breaks between locations).
Please enjoy this sneak peek of their family photo session images. To see all the photos and purchase prints from the gallery, click HERE.

Celebrating his last day as a 10-year old, I went out with this sweet kid and his mom to explore South Congress. We walked from mural to mural at sunrise (the Mr. Rogers one is my fav) and ended with lemonade at Jo’s.

When Great-Grandma is coming for a visit from Florida, it’s a perfect time to schedule an extended family photo session.
I met up with this sweet family (with excellent hair) out at Old Settlers Association in Round Rock – since the request was for a country/barn/Texas feel. With a soundtrack of goats and chickens in the background, we made sure to get lots of family combinations before we all sweltered. (It was 101 degrees and the portable fan I brought to cool us off between location could only do so much).
Please enjoy this sneak peek of their images. To see all the photos and purchase prints from the gallery click HERE.
