Reserve Your Date

When you reach out to me we’ll schedule a free consultation phone call to discuss what you are envisioning for your engagement session and answer any questions you may have.

Let’s Collaborate!

Once you’ve reserved your date, we’ll choose your mountain and start the process of planning an awesome day. I’m your photographer both on and off the mountain- want to grab a drink in the lodge, or warm up in some hot springs after hitting the slopes? You can do whatever you’d like for your engagement session!

Ski the Day

You get to ski/board with the person you love and get some awesome photos!

Relive Your Day

You’ll receive an online gallery of your photos to download and share with anyone and everyone. You’ll be able to look back at beautiful photos reflecting your adventurous heart and love for each other.

We had such an amazing experience with Gabrielle. She battled the snow and visibility on a powder day and got us amazing images that we will keep forever. If you are on the fence, just do it. You will have photos that your friends simply cannot take of you on their cell phones. It’s so worth it! Gabrielle is a great skier who can handle tough conditions even with two cameras and all her gear.

FAQ’S

Click the arrows in the photo above to see more photos from Liz + Ethan’s engagement session!

How experienced a skier are you? How do you ski AND take pictures?

I’m a very experienced skier. I began skiing at a young age and alpine raced for 10 years. Both years of skiing and photographing have allowed me to confidently combine both.

How experienced a skier or boarder do I need to be?

As long as you and your partner both feel comfortable navigating on skis or a board, you can Ski the Day. If you only want to stick to the green runs, that is completely okay! This is your day and you can make it exactly how you want it.

Do you charge differently depending on what mountain we choose?

I have different tiers for proposals. As you scroll below you’ll find which location/mountain falls into which tier. There are no additional travel costs added to the price you see. If you are not sure which mountain you’d like to have your engagement session at, you can reach out to me and we’ll chat about which resort is perfect for you.

 Do you travel outside of Colorado?

You bet! Wherever you want to go, I’m there! Below you’ll see pricing for out-of-state and international engagements + couples sessions.

Are you buying our ticket? Do we buy your ticket?

You are responsible for your own lift ticket or pass. My ticket does not cost you extra regardless of the mountain.

Can we get photos with us in nice clothes too?

Of course! I offer Après Ski sessions for this very reason. You can schedule that before or after your day on the mountain. We can discuss what order would be best for you!

Can you help me look good in the photos?

Hell yeah! I will give you tips on how to ski while being photographed, and when we take portraits I will help you pose!

But what if I’m awkward in photos?

The great thing about engagement photos is that you have a buddy! The most important thing is the love you and your partner have for each other, which is going to show through the photos. I will help guide you so you look your best, but all you need to do is enjoy your time with your partner (and laugh at my dumb jokes)!

Gabrielle was an absolute treat to work with from start to finish. Through every step of the process, she was always responsive and helpful. Her fantastic and thorough recommendations made our decision-making on photography locations a no-brainer, even with us six states away in Georgia.

Gabrielle was incredibly fun to work with, making the photo-taking process feel as natural as possible and perfectly reflecting us as a couple. She made both the skiing photos and après-ski photos such a smooth process, especially for two people notoriously awkward in front of cameras. With her photos, you would never know that was the case!

We absolutely love our photos. We cannot stop looking at them, and neither can anyone we show them to! We had a blast the entire day. Not only is Gabrielle a wonderful photographer, but she’s also extremely fun to ski with. She’s a kind soul and an incredible photographer, we would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
