Who's this bish?
I Am Gabriella - aka Gab
I'm the face, camera wrangler, and memory maker behind The Gift of the Gab Photography. I'm not usually one to toot my own horn (okay, maybe just a tiny toot), but if you're after someone who can snap the magic and make you laugh mid-photo — I’m your gal.
Based in Gladstone, I offer affordable, high-quality photography that’s all about you. I capture it all — whether it's those blink-and-you-miss-it newborn snuggles, chaotic family cuddles, once-in-a-lifetime “I do’s,” or steamy confidence-boosting boudoir sessions in my moody little home studio, I'm here to turn your moments into memories you'll actually want to print out and brag about.
I’m obsessed with setting the perfect mood with some creative lighting techniques, love a bit of organised chaos, and fully believe that a good belly laugh is the best accessory in any photo. If you're after someone who lives for positive vibes, captures the real stuff and lives to create art in the form of creative double exposures — let's chat.
Ready to make some photo magic? Get in touch — I’d love to meet you!
Favourite Hobby?
Okay so that's easy — gaming. I'm obsessed with retro videogames and play my Xbox, Playstation and PC regularly. Some favourites would be.... Tomb Raider, Shrek, Hogwarts, Witcher 3, Escape from Tarkov and Fallout 4 or New Vegas (that's a close one).
Favourite Food?
I'm a choc-a-holic for sure. It's better than being an alcoholic I'd have to guess. But in all seriousness, I had a gastric sleeve so it doesn't take much to satisfy my cravings! But give me a cheese and bacon crumbed sausage and I'd love you forever.
Favourite TV Show?
Now that's a hard one - like how am I to pick just one???? I would be here forever. So let's just go with..... Fallout, Grim, The Big Bang Theory, Witcher (before it went to shit — sorry not sorry Hemsworth!), MASH, Game of Thrones and The Rookie. Just to name a few.
Favourite Movie?
Seven Pounds — That movie with Will Smith where he unalives himself to save a bunch of strangers. Yeah, that one or maybe Aliens 3. That one was by far my fave and Sigourney is a bad bitch.
Celebrity Crush?
Geralt — ahem* I mean Henry Cavill. Like, can you blame me?
What's a strange fact about me?
Uh, that's a tough one. I'd probably say my flexibility? I can reach 15cm past my toes? Yeah, that's pretty weird.
What's playing on Spotify?
So freaking much — I'm super eclectic with my music but let's rattle off what I'm vibing to at the moment; Escape the Fate, Ice Nice Kills, Falling in Reverse, Floze, Sleep Token, Motionless in White, Three Days Grace, Hollywood Undead, Breaking Benjamin, Yungblud, RYYZN, Jordy, WesGhost, Josh Lambert and Asking Alexandria.
Dream Holiday Destination?
So if money, kids, work and reality didn't exist for a week, where would I go? I'd say Japan. I'd love to see the cherry blossom trees in full bloom and explore. I've heard that they're super into pokemon over there too so that's pretty cool!
Favourite thing about my job?
Probably getting to meet so many new people and witness one of the best days of their lives — I'd have to say I'm pretty bloody privileged there
One thing I can't live without?
Other than my kids or cat? Cold water. Yeah, I'm a princess, but ever since I had my sleeve I have to sip allll day long. My husband is a plumber and no joke installed a ZIP tap in our kitchen so I have instant cold water, and went as far to buy me an ice machine to sit next to it. I'm so spoilt.
SAD ONE, SOZ!
Why did I become a professional photographer?
