"When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is: 'What do you want me to do?' Everyone is very awkward. When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them."


- Annie Leibovitz


It's me; hi.

I'm Gabriella Wilson 🍵

Welcome to my page 😉📸 so glad you are here!

I am a day dreamer, toddler mom, movie buff that 100% loves taking pictures of people, places and things (especially those I care about), which is why instead of picking a niche: I offer many different services where your imagination and creativity can play a role. I am here to capture overlooked memories, inspire new ones and help give you that outside perspective while you enjoy living in the moment.

Testimonials

Gabriella did an amazing job taking photos of my dog! We didn't get a chance to take photos of our other dog before he passed and I needed photos of her! She has an amazing eye for photos!

ATHENA & RUBY

She understood the assignment ✔️ Grace loves nature and Gabby suggested we check out Nelsons Ledges, and it turned out to be the perfect location to fit Grace’s vibe. I can’t thank Gabby enough for these gorgeous shots! Not only did we get such beautiful keepsakes of this special time of life for Grace, but Gabby made the process fun and easy. She’s relaxed and easy-going, she listened to what Grace wanted, and she offered some great ideas for poses and angles of shots.

GRACE & RACHEL

Gabriella always does amazing job! She's done photo for 3 different events and always captures moments that I missed in my view. It's incredible to see what she sees through the lens. Amazing Photographs!

ELLYN, BFS

A huge thank you for the awesome maternity photos! Kelsey and I love them so much! Gorgeous!

KELSEY & BRANDON

Her photos are rich and interesting. They're not your boring, everyday photos or shoots. She has an eye for beautiful spots and makes you feel like a Rockstar.

SARA

Gabriella did my son’s fall photos and they turned out amazing. She did a great job on the editing and knew how to get the good pictures even when my son wasn’t being very cooperative. I highly recommend her. I’ll be using her again for family photos when we are in town.

CINDLE & JONAH

We might have lost touch for a while, but I've known Gabriella for over 20yrs. She has always had an artistic eye, and fantastic with the art of photography. It's so incredible to see all the progression even with her having an exuberant amount of talent 20+ years ago.
I loved working with her, she made me feel so comfortable. I have horrible body issues, and she made me feel beautiful! I'm amazed at how much I don't just like the scenery, but myself as well.

I've done several shoots as a model with Gabby and it's always a blast. She's professional, fun to work with, and most importantly she gets some really incredible shots! I really appreciate her communication levels during shoots the effort she puts into coming up with interesting locations, poses, angles, props, etc. while also being receptive to my own ideas. It is truly a collaborative process when we work together.
