My name is Gabrielle but I go by Gabby. Middle name, Grayce, with a “y”. I grew up with a disposable camera constantly in hand and when I got my first digital camera, it was filled with photos of blades of grass and flowers. I married my best friend in 2019 on a cold April day in Iowa. It was 36 degrees and sleeting….and the ceremony was outdoors. It’s Iowa, what did we expect? We recently added a new tiny human to our family, Asher Grae. He’s the sweetest little buddy and we can’t imagine what life would be without him. I started photography as a hobby but have found so much passion in documenting the lives of the most amazing couples.

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.
