Kyle + I are excited to make a big announcement on his birthday today! We are launching The Well Workshop, which is a weekend experience that empowers female photographers and small business who are just starting out, and want to learn how to create a sustainable business.
We are on a mission…
- To empower female photographers to look for beauty in the everyday, shoot with creativity and confidence, while becoming the best version of themselves in the process.
- To equip our attendees with everything they need to know to create a sustainable photography business while connecting with speakers and leaders experienced in all the aspects of running a business.

Meet the Speakers:
Kati Maxwell bought her first “big girl” camera in 2006 and has been shooting ever since. She started out capturing her own family and her love for photography intensified. She realized quickly that this was the legacy she was supposed to leave. She received her degree in Marketing and Communications to have something to “fall back on”. Little did she know she’d need it to grow her own business. And goodness has it grown! Kati is based out of Georgetown, Texas but travels worldwide. She is known for her Wedding photography and has been featured in some of the top Bridal magazines in Texas.

Renee Fisher is a spirited speaker, coach, consultant and author, who published her first nine books in under eight years. A self-proclaimed “Dream Defender,” Renee is passionate about calling dreams to life in others. A graduate of Biola University, she lives in Austin, Texas with her handsome husband and their fur child named “Star.”

Lauren Gaige began the journey in graphic design over 9 years ago, and she would have never dreamed that she’d be where she is today. Lauren’s passion is to help you get a beautiful website without breaking the bank! When she started Restored 316, she had just $10 to her name so she knows what it’s like to start from the ground up!

Client Testimonials:
Praise for Kati:
“Kati is an incredible teacher. She is open and honest about her business and her life. She taught us the in’s and out’s of wedding photography. Kati gave me the best tips on how to save me from back and hand pain that is normally associated with photography. I now provide my clients with a new personal experience because I’m not afraid to! She empowered me to be me in my photography and in my whole process. I can’t thank her enough for that.”—Lexie
“As a photographer it was refreshing to meet another photographer so willing to show grace and kindness. Kati has been such an inspiration to me and I’m blessed to have had the chance to learn from her. She opened my eyes to see that God can use me in every photoshoot. Because of her breakout session, I’ve been able to have the confidence and encouragement I needed to put God first in my business.”—Alexis
“I admire Kati’s professionalism, calm demeanor and love for photography. She has captured so many special events in my life, including my two pregnancies, their newborn sessions, and most recently the birth of my second child. I never noticed her there during his birth, which is wonderful when you’re going through such a vulnerable and personal experience. She was very professional, patient, helpful and just sweet the entire time! She felt like family. I will be using her services again, and many of my friends have now used her services as well!”—Sarah
Praise for Renee:
“I will forever be indebted to Renee Fisher. She is not only an amazing consultant, but she is extremely thoughtful and creative in every detail of the project she is working on. She studies her client and knows their heart. She makes you feel like she is only working for you.” —Maria
“Renee is an expert in reaching the internet based audience. She understands the technical side of the business as well as the core drivers of developing a powerful social media platform and campaign. I highly recommend Renee!” —Chris
“Renee has truly been a God-send! She has been so generous with her knowledge and has used her experiences in publishing to help guide me towards my next right thing. I consider Renee a cheerleader for the cheerleaders, providing encouragement and inspiration to those of us who love to encourage and inspire others!” —Carrie
Praise for Lauren:
I cannot say enough good things about Lauren. As a very novice WordPress user, not only did Restored316 provide me with a fabulous design, but over and beyond customer support as well! I will be a customer for life based upon this amazing customer service! So thankful for God honoring #girlbosses who reflect His glory in all they do! —Cyrissa
Lauren’s designs are flawless; both by looks and ease of installation. I was able to create my site with a cohesive look for my business using the “DARLING” template; yet, making it my own. The price point, ease of use and absolute gorgeousness of her products are vital in obtaining new clients and in being able to create the “total package” for my growing biz and its marketing needs! —Rebecca
Restored 316 is my JAM! I quickly fell in love with all of the themes and had a difficult time deciding on which one to go with. Ultimately, I chose the “Darling Theme” and am so glad that I did. My site is completely customized to represent me. My site designer was equally amazing in helping me create my dream site. Thanks Lauren for all that you offer! —Amy
