"Gernelle is a calm and very capable professional."


She really excels at both capturing the very special personal moments that mean so much and managing and directing groups of people. If you are searching for a photographer for your special moment, you can stop looking...just hire Gernelle. You will not regret it.

I promise to protect the mood and your moments.


I'll provide non-intrusive coverage when you want to savor the moment and guide you into poses when you ask for inspiration. Beyond that, I will encourage you, bring you water or snacks, let you cry on my shoulder, stand guard at the door when you want a moment alone and be prepared with solutions should the unexpected arise. I'm passionate about providing care along with images that reflect your relationship.

From our first conversation we knew Gernelle was the one. She coordinated everything! We'll forever be grateful for her expertise.
