Roots Photography Hi, I’m Payton Gabriel — a lifestyle photographer based in Stromsburg, NE.

I focus on capturing real life as it unfolds: genuine moments, honest emotions, and beautifully imperfect memories you’ll want to hold onto forever.

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. 🤍

Watching Cortina's confidence grow throughout this session is one of the many reasons I love what I do. 🤍✨
From the first few photos to the very last, seeing her relax, smile, and truly shine in front of the camera was such a joy. Moments like these remind me that senior sessions are about so much more than beautiful photos—they're about celebrating who you are in this season of life.
This group of seniors has already become one of my absolute favorites, and we're just getting started. I can't wait to share everything that's still to come! 🎓💫

Walking into senior year with faith as her foundation. 🤍📖
This season is full of big moments, new beginnings, and plenty of unknowns—but there's something so beautiful about choosing to walk through it all with God by your side.
Cortina's session was a reminder that senior photos can capture more than a milestone—they can tell your story, your values, and what matters most to you.
These are just a few sneak peeks, and I can't wait to share the rest. Stay tuned! ✨

Okay... there was NO way I could fit this session into one sneak peek. 😍
Part 1 is here because these girls absolutely brought their A-game, each with their own style and personality. Choosing favorites was nearly impossible, so expect plenty more because I couldn't leave these beauties hidden on my camera.
