Five Stars -- A Luxury Photography Experience Like No Other
Studio 14 By Gabrielle delivers an extraordinary photography experience, and my most recent family photoshoot in Colorado Springs proved once again why Gabrielle is in a class of her own. Her work shines in three key areas: the photoshoot experience (including preparation), the quality and timeliness of the images, and the final products such as framed prints and custom books.
1. Photoshoot Experience & Preparation
Gabrielle's preparation is unmatched. Before our shoot, she connected with every adult in the family to understand their personal goals -- even planning around a three‑year‑old's birthday celebration. All the ladies had hair and makeup done by Gabrielle's phenomenal team (special thanks to Joni!), and everyone felt beautiful, confident, and excited. Gabrielle's spouse Kevin and her sidekick Nina were also hands‑on throughout the day, helping us get ready and keeping the energy fun and family‑friendly. From sunrise portraits at Garden of the Gods to sweeping golf‑course vistas and elegant indoor/outdoor scenes at The Broadmoor, every moment felt thoughtfully crafted and joyful.
2. Quality & Timeliness of Images
The resulting images were stunning -- so stunning, in fact, that we accepted far more photographs than we originally planned. The challenge wasn't finding favorites; it was narrowing them down at all. Gabrielle delivered the full set promptly, and every image reflected her signature mastery of natural, organic environments - with my family members flatteringly featured.
3. Final Products: Framing, Books & More
After selecting our images, Gabrielle compiled them -- along with some personal snapshots -- into a large custom photo book that exceeded every expectation. She also created ten picture frames designed specifically to match our home's interior aesthetic. Each piece was beautifully detailed, thoughtfully crafted, safely shipped, and ready to display.
Bottom Line
Gabrielle is a true luxury photography resource. She and her team can handle everything if you want the full experience (HINT HINT my celebrity friends) or tailor the process to meet your needs. While she could certainly photograph weddings and events, her sweet spot is unique portraiture in natural settings. No one matches her expertise shooting "in the wild," and it shows in every image she produces.
Yes -- I would absolutely hire her again.
