Hello, I’m Gabriella, the photographer behind the lens at my Auckland portrait studio. I’m a mother of two wonderful boys and grateful to share in the lives of my two amazing stepsons. Originally from Eswatini, I’ve been capturing people and their stories through my camera for nearly 20 years.


Photography has always been more than just a profession for me — it’s a way of seeing and preserving the beauty in everyday life. My work focuses on studio portraiture, where I create timeless, emotive images that celebrate connection, character, and love.


Four years ago, my family and I made New Zealand our home, and here I’ve built a space that feels warm, calm, and welcoming — a place where my clients can simply be themselves. Whether it’s a maternity session, newborn portraits, or a family gathering, my aim is always the same: to create art that feels both personal and enduring.


Thank you for being here. I look forward to welcoming you into the studio and creating something beautiful together.


With love,

Gabriella
