Gabrielle Touchette is a professional photographer based in Winnipeg, Canada. She started taking photos at age 13, mostly drawn to creative and documentary-style photography. Years later, she earned a diploma in professional photography and has been running a full-time portrait and commercial photography business since 2008.

She also teaches photography to both aspiring professionals and everyday people who want to create better photos with the camera they already have. She believes everyone is creative, even if they don't think they are. Her hope is to inspire others to develop their creativity, share their stories, and captivate others with the images they take.

Gabrielle writes a weekly email newsletter where she teaches phone photography tips and creative exercises to beginner photographers and enthusiasts.

Kathie’s note: You know how you feel like you know someone because you read their work all the time? Gabrielle presented a workshop for CreativeMornings in February of 2023 and I signed up for her newsletter. As a person, she’s down to earth. As a professional photographer, she really knows what she’s talking about.

Kathie’s note: I met Carro around the turn of the century through the Kentucky Freelancers, a group I cofounded for independent professionals to get together for a luncheon each month, listen to a guest speaker, network, all the good things we missed because we didn’t work around a water cooler in an office anymore. She has always entered a room with a radiant smile.

Kathie’s note: Lauren Deborah was one of the facilitators for the CreativeMornings FieldTrips and the behind-the-scenes virtual community lead. That’s where I met this bright and happy face. We shared a couple of private chats (“This presentation is wild and I’m here for it!) from time to time, and of course, I’m a sucker for an accent! Lauren’s Aussie accent is fabulous.
