About GLSR Photography

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.

Thumbtack customerSep 2026

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.

Gillian from GLSR Photography did an absolutely stellar job for us and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for special memories in the form of quality photos. I scheduled Gillian for an hour in the morning the day after I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancé thank goodness!) and she was flexible in meeting us in a special location, professional and friendly at the same time in a way that made us relax and be natural in front of her camera, and she was incredibly easy to work with when it came to poses and different locations/backgrounds. We love the photos she took for us and anyone else who works with her will surely love their photos too. Gillian - THANK YOU so, so much for helping make our engagement even more memorable. We appreciate you!

We had a great experience with Gillian for our Christmas card photos. She knows the best spots for downtown shots. We are happy with how they turned out!

Gillian did an AMAZING job for a very fair price. My fiancée and I love the way our photos turned out. She was also extremely helpful in the setup of the proposal area and editing out the people in the background.

Wonderful experience! I was nervous about getting some portraits done but I found it to be easy and fun! The time flew by. Loved the pictures I got. Each pose was thoughtful and there was good communication to get what I needed. Very fast turn around. I look forward to working with GLSR photography again!!

She was wonderful and really got us out of our comfort zone since we aren’t the most photogenic. We had a great time and loved our engagement photos!

David C.Mar 2024

We hired Gillian for our daughter’s first birthday party, and she was awesome to work with! She showed up right on time, got all of the posed and candid shots we asked for, and she did an awesome job of blending in with the party and snapping tons of pictures. We loved all the pictures she sent over, and we’re so glad we hired her for the event! We wanted to make sure we captured everything while being able to actually enjoy the event, and she definitely delivered on both of those things :) We will definitely reach out to her again for photos and would highly recommend her!

Had a great experience working with Gillian for my Maternity Shoot.

Sandra B.Nov 2023

Gillian was the first pro I hired on Thumbtack. Never even heard of this app before until I had to put together a friendsgiving event! Gillian went over and beyond my expectations! She had the artist’s vision to see and execute my vision, which is very rare and hard to find especially since we never met in person prior to the event. We only communicated through chat which is what I prefer. She was on time and made sure to survey the area for possible good spots and angles. She was quick and had that point-shoot kinda feel. She made us feel comfortable and be ourselves while she was on the background. All of her shots were amazing and never once did she miss a good shot or have us repeat poses. And omg her editing skills!!! I wanted to have that little women vibe and she did just that! 😍 whenever i look at the pictures, i feel like the event was a whole movie. I enjoyed the whole event even more knowing that I will have these beautiful pictures to look at to later on. If you’re thinking twice about hiring a pro (her), just stop! Save yourself the time, hassle and money. Hire her and you will have photos that you will keep forever. Thanks again Gillian! Hope to have you again soon!
