What are my clients saying?

  • "My experience with Gabella was noting short of incredible from start to finish. Gabella encompasses an extremely unique avant garde eye with the technical precision of someone with years of experience and a true passion for photography. Her demeanor is professional, yet calming, which allowed me to relax and feel confident in front of her lens. Her email and text communications were prompt and frequent, as was the turnaround time to receive my photos. I would absolutely recommend Gabella to anyone looking for a photographer!"

    Kaylee E-Khen

  • "Gabella is so talented and knowledgeable. She is kind and creative and has such a strong vision in mind while shooting. Incredible at coaching while I model and knows the angles that work best for me. I’m grateful I have been captured by her and some of my favorite photos are ones we’ve created together."

    Alyssa Bacon

  • "Working with Gabella was all around the best experience, she made me feel so special and even comfortable. If you're new to being in front of the camera, I can assure you she will make you feel confident and comfortable. She let's you know when something is working for the shot and when something isn't, she's very transparent and just the sweetest person to work with."

    Leeza Sepulveda

  • Gabella was so kind from the beginning and put me at ease. She also went a bit late so that I got my full time and even sent extra pics which I really appreciated. I loved that she was so open about me sending her a pinterest mood board and she kept referencing it throughout the shoot which made me feel like she really cared to capture my vision in her style. I loved how she had fun music and she was really sweet/easy to talk to throughout. Then when the photos arrived I was nervous again not knowing if I would like how I looked. But she blew it out of the park! I am in love with the photos and she edits brown skin tones amazing (something I’ve struggled with photographers in the past). It was really fun for my birthday and I hope to do it again! <3
