Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: 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.

Gabriel is an extremely professional and knowledgable photographer. He has a keen eye for shoot locations, places that you would not give a second look he turns them into magic. He is very open and will let you come with ideas for your shoot, but you are at an advantage if you follow his creative direction. When Gabriel says, "Your story, my design", he truly means it. The love I have for my family he was able to capture it many times over during our shoot. As well, he was so patient and kind to our daughter. Instead of forcing to sit in poses he matched her energy, and he created breathtaking photos of her that we will cherish forever. Unless, we move far away we will always let Gabriel be our photographer. If you are looking for someone to capture the very essence of you I suggest Stories By Design.

I have worked with Gabriel on several different projects and I am never disappointed in how rare his artistic gift is. Once you have an initial conversation with him, his intricate understanding of how to bring your idea to life is second to none. His photography and video expertise are innate in his companies name. It is truly a "designed narrative" through video and photography. He also designed a chic and contemporary logo for my real estate development firm to lead our rebranding efforts. I get complements often on how nice it looks. They say the proof is in the pudding and I couldn't agree more! If you haven't heard of him yet, you will. Its just a matter of time.

I called up Gabriel because I needed a great photographer for a photoshoot on a sponsored vehicle for a media project.
The services were excellent and the photos were beyond extrordinary!
Gabriel was very professional and the work was completed in a timely manner. I've recommended him to many because he's not just a guy with a camera. This is a photographer who enjoys the art and strives to bring out the best in any shoot location.
Awesome job. Thanks for everything.
