Hi everyone! I’m Gabrielle. Ever since I was a young girl, the idea of creating a memory that could be translated into a tangible object, was something that fascinated me. After graduating high school, I decided to use the gift money I received to buy a camera, opt out of college and pursue something I was already invested in: Photography. In 2011, my brother helped me start Firefly, and since then, I’ve shot 50 + weddings, over 100 portrait sessions and countless scenes of meaningful daily life. I shoot on location, natural lighting portraits as well as weddings, events and the every day life that means something to me.

There are so many times I've heard "I'm not photogenic".
I simply don't believe this. It's so easy to freeze in front of the camera and those are the photos people dislike of themselves. They're flat, and awkward and tell nothing of the person in the photo. My job is to help you loosen up and be your real self, create memories and engage in the relationships that mean so much to you. As you do this and learn some basic tips for being in front of the camera, you'll come away with memories you treasure.

Other bits about me:
For 25 years I lived in Covington, GA with my big beautiful family of 8 siblings. Daddy's a preacher, Mama is a midwife and an amazing woman. In 2014 a tall handsome Texan swept me off my feet and we married in the Summer. We live in Lubbock, and now have two children, Bella Rose and Daniel.
I enjoy writing, cultivating our house into a home, and road tripping with my hubby. Photography is a joy to me, and I love seeing Jesus' reflected in the lives of those I photograph.
I pray his joy, peace, tenderness, power, forgiveness, healing, dynamics, and creativity are all captured within the pixels and ink of my photos.

If you’re interested in having a Firefly session, please visit my website or send me an e-mail!

I look forward to Capturing You,
- Gabrielle Watson
