About
My unique experiences range from being a poet, author, photographer, videographer, and Behavior Interventionist in both public school & the criminal justice system. My broad perspective allows me to see and capture differently. As a photographer, I don't take pride in my eyesight during a shoot, but rather my vision. Vision is often overlooked, but vital for photographers. As an artist, if there is one thing I'm constantly reminded of it's "a pictures says a thousand words". Along with these words are varying emotional responses that collectively tells a story. This is my aim. I rejoice in my opportunities to freeze the unique stories of my clients during our photo shoot that leaves impacting and lasting memories. My body of work includes national recording artists, Ivy League schools, the U.S. Secretary of Education, publications, actor/actresses, professional models, and thriving programs geared towards impacting inner city youth. **Awarded Thumbtack BEST OF 2015 & 2016** Superseding the expectations of anyone who is on the other side of my lens.

I must say that my experience with Stories By Design was amazing! I wanted to take some photos involving the 3 generations of women in my family. I really didn't know what "type" of photo I wanted nor a location for the shoot, but what I knew I was interested in a location that involved water, had a little vegetation, edgy, and structurally interesting. After speaking with Gabriel, I knew that I was in good hands. During his conversation with me, he got to know a little bit about me and my "life" which I believe is extremely important; to know your client. The location he selected was "SPOT ON". All of the suggestions were met. Gabriel was extremely communicative before, during and after the photo shoot. He arrived to the location on time; in fact he was early setting up. During the shoot we all felt very comfortable as he explained exactly what do to and even let us "let loose" on a few shots! The turn around time on the pictures was great. The first evening he even gave me a "coming soon" photo as a teaser! I really enjoyed working with him and have since then hired him to document my daughter's birthday party! I encourage you to give him a try. Anyone can take an amazing picture, but I feel that he is the total package!!

I wanted simple head shots and full body shots and this photographer gave me so much more! He kept taking pictures until I was satisfied with the results. As well, being that I'm inexperienced, he was patient with me and directed my posing for the best photos. I will definitely be working with him again!

One word: Amazing!!! Stories by Design exceeded my expectations with the photoshoot for our 2 year old son. Toddlers can be difficult but with Gabriel's patience and expertise, we were able to capture lifelong memories. Gabriel is professional, creative? And did I say PROFESSIONAL. Our shoot started on time and we received our photos in a timely manner. We look forward to working with him again.
