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.
