Hi, friends! 🤍
I realized it’s been a while since I’ve properly introduced myself, so for those who are new here—hi! I’m Payton Gabriel, the face behind the camera.
I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember, and I’m so thankful that this passion has grown into a career I truly love. I’m based in Stromsburg, Nebraska, where my little family and I call home. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me at Blue Bell Boutique, the little shop I own and pour my heart into.
This season of life has been the sweetest and the quickest. My little boy turns ONE in August, and I truly don’t know how that’s possible. Becoming a mom has changed my perspective in so many ways, especially when it comes to photographs. I understand now more than ever that the little moments become the big memories, and there’s nothing more priceless than freezing time for just a second.
To every person who has booked a session, shared my work, recommended me to a friend, or simply followed along over the years—thank you. Your support has allowed me to continue doing what I love as well as being able to keep my little one by my side all day, and it means more than you’ll ever know.
Whether we’ve worked together before or you’re thinking about booking your very first session, I’d love the opportunity to capture your story.
I hope I get to meet you soon. 🤍
