Specialist portrait photographer in Crowthorne. Gabriele (Gaby) crafts relaxed studio and lifestyle portraits, professional headshots and business portraits that showcase your true personality.
I specialise in portrait photography from my base near Crowthorne, bringing a warm, people-first approach to every session. For me, portrait work is about uncovering the real person in front of the camera — the laugh, the glance, the small gestures that reveal character. It’s not about stiff poses; it’s about connection. IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU. My background as a mother and a creative who loves working with people informs how I shoot: relaxed, conversational and often gently playful. I help camera-shy clients feel at ease, guiding posture and expression while also letting spontaneous moments happen. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a business portrait that reflects your brand, or a personal studio or lifestyle portrait, I focus on creating images that feel authentic and useful. My clients describe the experience as empowering — a chance to see themselves more confidently. The process is collaborative and clear. We start with a relaxed conversation about what you want your images to say and who they should speak to. I’ll suggest locations, wardrobe ideas and simple poses that flatter without feeling forced. On the day, I work quickly and kindly, creating an atmosphere that encourages real smiles and natural interactions. After the shoot I deliver a curated selection of professionally edited images ready for use across websites, social media and print — visuals that help you connect with the people you want to reach. As a portrait and business photographer, my priority is capturing personality and professionalism in equal measure. I aim to provide a versatile library of portraits and headshots you can rely on for everything from marketing and social profiles to press and proposals. Based locally in the Wokingham/Crowthorne area, I love working with local business owners, creatives and families who want images that reflect who they truly are. I also run occasional workshops to help business owners create better in-the-moment imagery with their phones and to develop a strong visual strategy — a useful complement to a professional portrait session. If you’d like portraits that feel like you and help your brand show up confidently, I’d love to hear your story and plan a session together.
