Hey y'all!
I am excited to share a very long overdue update on life and my photography business! A bit of a re-introduction if you will. Some sweet clients that have become personal friends already know most of this, but for those that may be new here...Life has changed so much over the last several years for me and my 2 oldest boys. From starting my business full time in 2017 while living in Midland, to moving to Austin in 2018, then back to my hometown Borger at the end of 2021....We have been a little all over Texas!! Now, we reside in beautiful Mason, Texas!!!
Two years ago my boys and I met our forever guy and knew we were forever home with him here in Mason. My husband Dillon and I got married in November of 2024 and welcomed our beautiful son, Dillon ll, in February of this year. Alongside our newest baby boy, I also gained the most handsome stepson who lives in Brazil. There is no words to describe how thankful and how proud I am of my husband, all of our sweet boys and this life we live! We call our home the Funky Farm and it is probably not a stretch to call us the funky bunch lol.
In addition to changes in my personal life, my business life has also changed quite a bit too. While I never fully stopped photography, I did slow down significantly and in August of 2023 I started working at our family business Cooper’s Original Pit Barbq - Mason, TX (go give our page a follow!). So between that and of course Mommin' 3 little ones...I have still kept busy!
My love for photography was always still there but regrouping and finding that passion again required the break that was taken. Now, I am back at it part time! Mason is where I will be doing majority of my work but if any of my Austin clients wanted a Fredericksburg session, that is perfect too! For now, there are no plans to travel to Austin for sessions - in 2026 there may be a few dates throughout the year that I come up and book mini sessions. Trust me when I say this part of the Hill Country is beautiful and worth the drive if any clients wanted to come this way for a photo shoot! **P.s. sometime in the next year I will be back to offering sessions in studio like I did before in Pflugerville.**
Right now I am currently booked out for September, have only weekday availability for October, and for November I am only taking a few more sessions! Check out my website www.alyssamartinphotography.net or shoot me a text or email if you'd like to get a session booked before the end of the year!
Last but certainly not least, thank you from the bottom of my heart to the sweet clients and friends I have made over the last 8 years for your support, grace and kindness. I carry a piece of you all in my soul for the love you shared with my boys and I in our darkest times. I'm so excited to be back refreshed to capture your most precious moments in life again!
