"I couldn't believe that the woman in the photographs was me!"


Prior to my shoot, Gernelle met with me to ensure that she had a clear understanding of my vision for the shoot. She was extremely knowledgeable on great locations to shoot, and really took the time to get to know me along with what type of images I'd like to have. Gernelle is a true professional and I was amazed at how great my photos turned out. I would definitely recommend Gernelle to anyone who is looking for a professional, caring, and talented photographer.
