A year ago I met Griffin at his newborn photo session when he was just a wee little guy, and yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing him again, this time, all grown up! We went to his great-aunt’s amazing (and huge) backyard and got some great photos of him with balloons and of course, a cake to smash. Both sets of grandparents were there and also got a chance to jump into some of the photos. This guy is well-loved and oh-so cute! He was all smiles, and got into the cake like a true birthday boy should! Happy birthday Griffin!

Jodi is a good friend of mine who also happens to be a talented photographer who has been taking my family’s photos for years now, as I have been for them. This year we decided to have fun with our photo session swap, and instead of doing it on separate days, we scheduled them both for the same evening. We drove up to Grand Beach together with our husbands and kiddos to take turns photographing each other’s families. It was a hot summer evening, the weather forecast was thankfully wrong (no hail, thundershowers or tornado in sight, as was forecasted earlier that day!) and we had a blast!
Watching Jodi’s kids grow up has been such a treat for me – they are the cutest and always so fun to run around with for photos. The evening ended off with all 5 of our kids running into the lake, swimming in their clothes, and having fun until sun down. Such good memories were created! Here’s a preview of Jodi’s family photos from our lovely evening out at the beach.

Yesterday I had the chance to meet up with Emily & Lance for their engagement session in Winnipeg. We started with some urban portraits and finished up at one of my favourite places to catch that big open sky at sunset. Wally, their cute dog, tagged along and was so fun to photograph! We also got to see some huge pelicans hanging out in the evening sun and climbed a big hill to watch the sun dip below the horizon. These two have a comfortable and effortless love and capturing these images for them brought me great joy. I cannot wait for their PineRidge Hollow wedding later this summer!

With their love for Winnipeg architecture in mind, Anna & Steve picked out some of their favourite spots for their engagement photos last night, and thanks to the golden sun and their lovely dynamic, everything looked absolutely beautiful! I’m so happy to have connected with these two last year and all the more excited for their wedding in Winnipeg next summer. They’ve been engaged for a couple of years now, and experienced a lot of long-distance in their journey together, so tying the knot will definitely mark a significant point in their relationship. I’m honoured to have been asked to be their photographer and so thankful for the trust they give me. Here’s a preview of their engagement collection:

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Lori & Matt’s growing family for the past few years, and every session is always so much fun to capture! Love love love these 4 people! Yesterday we were capturing a big milestone for Ivy, marking her 1st birthday. Happy birthday kiddo!

These two have theatre in their blood and seeing as engagement photos should be an expression of their love and personalities, it was only fitting to start the first half of their session at Winnipeg’s iconic Park Theatre in South Osborne. With their names on the marquee and them dressed to the nines, this session was an absolute delight to photograph! After a wardrobe change, we changed gears and headed to a green space nearby to capture a few more outdoorsy portraits, taking in the beautiful Spring day and glowing sun. These guys were a breeze to take photos of – so comfortable with each other and completely in tune. Not to mention a whole lot of fun to spend a couple of hours with. I’m truly honoured to have been invited into their story and I can’t wait to document their big day next year! Congratulations Robyn & Bernie!

In June of last year, I had the immense pleasure of being present at Jen & Devin’s wedding to photograph the day.
I had met them a year earlier and had had such a great time taking their engagement photos at the lake that I could not wait to be their wedding photographer. The day was truly memorable and heart-warming, and also full of personality and fun! It’s hard to sum up in words, but Jen and Devin put together a few of their thoughts from their day to share:
“Our experience with Gabrielle and Duncan was so relaxing and comfortable. They were always moving and willing to get different and candid shots. Their personalities kept everyone at ease and made being in front of the camera a blast! They helped keep things moving in a very hectic day. Their amazing work resulted in the most cherished photos in our home. They are absolutely stunning!”
Here’s a look at their day in photos, including more of their thoughts and memories from their day:


“The most memorable part of our day was definitely our ceremony. The rain held off long enough to allow us to focus on each other and experience the moment that was 8 years in the making. It was an incredible moment to have all of our loved ones there in one place. But we just can’t believe it rained 10 minutes after the ceremony had finished!”


“The best surprise of the day was how much love there was in one place. The love and energy in the air was palpable, and we felt truly blessed to have had so many people there who wholeheartedly support and care about us. It was a very humbling feeling.”



“It’s impossible to pick just one favourite photo! But I think if we reeeeeally had to choose, we’d choose the one of us walking arm in arm, smiling the widest smiles during our one on one session in birds hill. Our smiles are the most genuine and relaxed. They really captured our love and excitement about the day. ”

“Our intention in the day was simple: we wanted it to be us. We wanted it to be relaxed, fun, and rustic. We tried to make our guests feel at home and have fun being with one another. I think our lawn games, smores bonfire, and poutine late night snack did just that! Pineridge Hollow is such a beautiful venue that holds beauty on its own merit, so it’s grounds fit our rustic feel wonderfully.”

Almost 7 years ago I had the honour of being Kristin and Jonathan’s wedding photographer, and fast-forward to today, they are a full and happy family with 3 adorable kiddos! I had fun taking their photos this morning and celebrating their newest addition: 10-day-old Jordan. His older brother and sister had so many cuddles and kisses to shower him with and the sibling shots we got are just so priceless. Here is a preview from our newborn family portrait session:

Sometimes life gets busy and you forget that time flies, your kid is growing up and you haven’t updated your family photos in a long time! This was the case for Melinda and Scott – being both hard workers in creative industries and also spending time raising a kid, they realized it had been forever since they had gotten some updated family photos. Of course, I was more than happy to capture their adorable little family unit for them and capture these affectionate moments together. We kept it short and sweet, super casual and candid and managed to get a few posed shots out of Asher too. What a cutie that kid! Here are some highlights from our shoot:

Anna and Steve are tying the knot later this summer, but before the snow melted we made sure to book some time to head out to Beaudry Provincial Park to take some engagement photos. Not only is this a beautiful natural park in a really quiet wooded area just outside of Winnipeg, but it’s also the very location where Steve had proposed to Anna. We hiked through the trails, took some photos and had a great time enjoying the sunny winter day and having great conversations. These two are so cute together and also love to have fun together – can’t wait for their wedding day!

The last time I took photos for Jacqueline and Martin they only had one kid and she was just a baby. Now their family has grown with 3 adorable kids and a baby on the way – all in just over 4 years! Their smiles and zest for life are contagious and I had so much fun following them around to take these candid and somewhat posed family photos for them last week. What a lovely snapshot of such a crazy beautiful time of life – our time flew by and I couldn’t believe how much energy these kids had for photos! Merci Jacqueline et Martin pour la belle séance de photos, c’était un vrai plaisir de vous capturer lors de votre temps à Winnipeg!

It was mid-December and an extreme cold warning had been issued by the weather network – we knew we’d be in for a super cold wedding day but that didn’t stop any of us from fully celebrating with Madison and Matthew on their beautiful wedding day! Yes, we had to cancel all of our outdoor photo plans (except for a quick 2 minute stop outside the Legislative Building!), but nothing else was as warm and romantic as these two lovebirds tying the knot together. Click here to view the slideshow I made for them.

I have to admit, taking photos outside in the cold in a time as unforgiving as our winter in Winnipeg is never anything easy, but I do LOVE my winter photo sessions. There’s something about going out there in the cold, the white, and the quiet of the season. Yes, extra energy and attention is needed, but the results are always so magical. Even on a dark, foggy and gloomy day like the one we had for Ashley and Kyle’s engagement session. We started with a few fun shots at the Forks, but then did most of our photos at Assiniboine Forest. The birch trees seem to stretch on forever and the beauty of the forest is nothing like it.
And these two. Where do I start. They are absolutely lovely to photograph – their love is such a treasure and seeing them together was so heartwarming. Their decision to choose forever together is clear to see that it’s a good one, and it was such an honour to capture it. Here’s a handful of the many images we captured while out in the beautiful wintery landscape that we are lucky to find in our great city!

Breean and Matt just welcomed their first baby into their beautiful home and what a privilege it was to meet her and to photograph all her cuteness! Being only a week old, she was still so tiny and irresistibly cute, and she gave us so many adorable sleep smiles. Charley definitely lights up their world and seeing how beautiful she fits into this family, I had nothing but joy and excitement for the amazing journey they have just begun together. Here’s a little sneak peek at their newborn session in their home last week!

Jessica and Mike got married on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in July and every location they chose added so much to the beauty and meaning of their day. It was a true honour to create these images for them all the while documenting the story of their day unfolding before us. The joy and connection they share is so sweet to watch and seeing them so happy was definitely the highlight of the day, not only for me but I’m sure for all their guests too! They kept their day simple, elegant and truly meaningful. Starting with getting ready photos at the historic Fort Garry Hotel, followed by a lovely ceremony at the gorgeous Westminster Church, then on to the Exchange District and City Hall for some wedding portraits, and ending off the wedding celebrations with a super fun reception at St. Charles Country Club. From start to finish, this wedding day was a perfect reflection of these two! Here are some highlights… but make sure you scroll down to the end to see an adorable photo of Jessica dancing with her grandfather!

Well, it’s that time of year again, when the days are so long (yet the sun’s presence is so short), and we’re all tired of the cold and of being cooped up! If you’re in Winnipeg, you know the feeling. Cabin fever. But, I love this time of year because this is when I start planning for my annual Spring mini sessions, and this year I’m excited to partner up with Emily of Feast and Festivities. She’s going to be styling a great scene and will include some great decor pieces from Kate + Norah Co.’s shop. It’s going to be such a great collaboration of creative women, can’t wait!
Mini sessions are short, so for kids, it’s perfect. We’re setting up in one of Winnipeg’s most iconic heritage buildings in the Exchange District where the light and space in there always feels absolutely wonderful for portraits.
To book a spot, send me an e-mail: photo@egabrielle.com
It’s $150 + taxes, includes a 15-minute session, a proofing gallery and 5 high-res edited jpgs of your choice. You also have the option of ordering more photos after the session. It’s open to kids 6 months old and up. Siblings can be included at no additional cost.
The spots are being scooped up faster this year than they have in previous years, so please contact me sooner than later if you’re interested!

As 2016 comes to a close, I look back on all my photo sessions from the past year with joy and a thankful heart. 2016 was my busiest year since I started 9 years ago, and all the hard work was 100% worth it for being able to capture all these moments of love and togetherness. To everyone who asked me to photograph them: thank you from the bottom of my heart, your stories are inspiring and they continue to deepen my love for photography! This is just a small handful of highlights, wish I could include each and every shoot from 2016!
Looking forward to all that 2017 has to offer – happy new year everyone!

I first met Ahlea and Jason earlier this year to chat about their wedding, and I instantly found a connection with them. Such a warm, down-to-earth and lovely couple, I was absolutely thrilled to be their wedding photographer! In the weeks leading to their wedding, the weather got a little cooler and the leaves started changing colours, but their day at PineRidge Hollow was absolutely beautiful. Although it rained exactly during the time they had planned for their outdoor ceremony, it didn’t put a damper on the day. They quickly shifted things indoors, and we still had plenty of time before and after for wedding portraits outside at PineRidge Hollow and also inside Birds Hill Park. I’m such a big fan of this venue – I’ve been there for weddings in the Spring, Summer and Fall, and it never disappoints!
Ahlea and Jason radiate love, and it was such a delight being there to capture the big moments as well as the candid moments that added personality to their day. It was especially fun having their two dogs join us for some portraits! Surrounded by their closest family and friends, these two clearly enjoyed every moment of their day and I couldn’t have been more happy to celebrate with them. Congrats you two!

Celebrating a 1 year birthday is a huge milestone and always such a fun reason for a photo shoot! Desmond and his parents met me at Assiniboine Park in mid-October for this session, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Winnipeg has experienced a mild Autumn and we took full advantage of it! With so many bright colours and a relatively “warm” afternoon, there was nothing but fun and laughter with these three. Desmond finished the session with a cupcake and some curious feathered onlookers decided to join in!

Bébé Alexie was a dream to photograph – so many smiles, big eyes and priceless expressions. Her parents are completely infatuated, and it’s easy to see why there’s so much joy and love when being around her! She exudes so much happiness and life and it was so lovely being there to capture her interact with her parents. It was a pleasure doing their maternity photos earlier this year, and such a thrill to finally meet her to take their first official family photos! Félicitations vous deux, elle est si adorable!

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Liz and Geordie got married at the Winnipeg Art Gallery last month and what a beautiful day of celebration it was! It was surprisingly mild for late October and we fully embraced it with some outdoor photos at Stephen Juba Park. We then stopped at Stella’s for some drinks and a few candid photos, followed by some wedding couple photos inside the Plug In Gallery building, then on to the WAG for family photos and then they topped it off with their heart-warming wedding ceremony. It was a relatively short wedding day (4 hours of photography coverage) but we documented the most meaningful moments and their wedding collection reflects exactly who they are: fun, genuine and absolutely lovely! It was such a pleasure being there to capture it all!

Planning a wedding in Manitoba is no small feat when you live out of province, but April and Matias had a clear vision of what they wanted and were able to execute it absolutely beautifully! With lots of family and friends traveling from all over the world to come celebrate their wedding, the party certainly did not disappoint. From the decor, to the food, to the beautiful venue and super lively dance floor, this was definitely a fun wedding to attend! It was a true delight taking photos of their wedding, they are such a sweet couple and undoubtedly madly in love. It’s also a huge pleasure being at PineRidge Hollow to photograph weddings there – it’s such a beautiful venue for a ceremony and reception, and just a short drive from Winnipeg. Win win! Congrats you two!

Shawna and Brad just added a third little kiddo to their family and I was invited into their home to capture all the candid moments that make up their busy yet beautiful and fun life as a family of 5. The two older sisters are excited to have a baby brother, but they were also just as excited to jump on their parents’ bed for a few photos. These guys are absolutely adorable and it’s always such a pleasure taking photos for them!

Jun 8, 2016 | Maternity
Spring is in the air and Isabelle and James are so very close to meeting their first child! We headed out to Waterfront Drive in the Exchange District to take some lovely evening portraits of the two of them and the baby belly. It was well worth the wait – we had to postpone the session twice due to terribly poor weather earlier in May! But finally the bad weather passed and the warmth of the evening sun was glowing.
We spent some time in Stephen Juba Park but also went to the other side of the river to get some view of the setting sun against the Winnipeg city skyline. The river was calm and the mosquitoes weren’t out yet, so it was a win-win!
I look forward to meeting their baby and continuing to document their story through photos. Félicitations vous deux!

May 27, 2016 | Wedding

Here’s proof why it’s never too late to order your wedding album! Back in the summer of 2011 I photographed Kyla & Darrin’s wedding in Winnipeg’s beautiful All Saints’ Church at the corner of Osborne and Broadway. It was such a perfect ceremony location: romantic & lovely, just like this couple! Their wedding day was elegant, classic and a ton of fun. These two certainly had a strong love bonding them, and together with their friends and family, their day of celebration was a very memorable one. It’s hard to believe this was already 5 years ago!

Their wedding package included a wedding album, but with their busy schedules, it took some time to finalize the album design. Over the years we’ve kept in touch and the album has gotten a couple tweaks, but finally in this past month, the final album layout got their stamp of approval.
A few days ago I had the pleasure of handing over their (very heavy!) 12″x12″ wedding album. It has 40 hard flush-mount pages, a stunning white leather cover and of course, their wedding photos exquisitely printed onto semi-gloss photographic paper. As a photographer, I get so excited to see my photos printed in large scale on such beautiful paper, so I can only imagine how wonderful it must be for them to have this in their home to look at for years to come. This truly is an heirloom album, and I’m thrilled to have these albums in my wedding packages. They are one of a kind! Here are a few snapshots of what their wedding album looks like:

May 24, 2016 | Creative, Photography
Corin & Jeremy recently built and moved into their new home on the banks of the Red River in St. Boniface, and when the occasion came to host an intimate dinner party for their new neighbourhood friends, Emily of Feast & Festivities was there to design the whole thing. Emily was on hand to create a gorgeous tablescape and several details to go with the industrial jungle theme. Corin & Jeremy took care of the menu planning, and the rest was left up to Emily to pull together. And what a great job she did!
It was such a pleasure being there to capture all the beautiful details and the guests enjoying the whole experience. It’s inspiring seeing Emily do what she does best: creating beautiful elements for memorable occasions that celebrate love, life and togetherness. Having a designer with the passion that she has proved to be such a great asset for this dinner party. Below are some highlights from the evening:

May 20, 2016 | Baby, Family
I absolutely love this stage – babies at 6 months of age! Newborn photos and 1 year baby photos are big milestones, but there’s the 6 month mark that’s also such a great time to capture! Especially if your baby is a winter baby and their birthday photos happen to fall on a cold & dreary month, taking half-year photos is a great way to capture their cuteness in a warm & summery setting. Little Odette was all smiles at her session – enjoying cuddles from her parents, eating dandelions and playing in the park. Here’s just a small sampling from the session from a couple of days ago – with more coming soon!

May 20, 2016 | Family
I’ve had the pleasure of taking Matt & Ashley’s photos for several years, and without fail, I always have such a fun time with then! With their newest addition to the family, Jack, we headed out for some new family photos on a beautiful summer evening. It was a blast running around taking photos of them, watching them play and seeing the joy they share in their new dynamics as a family of 4. Here are some highlights from our session:
May 6, 2016 | Baby, Family, Newborn
Adding a 4th kid to a family is no small feat, but Candace and Craig have done it beautifully well, and despite the chaos and crazy, they find time to laugh, play and to be present in the fast-paced moments of family life. I stepped into their home back in February and got a taste of life as parents to four small kids, and it was a blast! Here’s a small collection of what we captured!

May 6, 2016 | Engagement
Back in March we had a beautiful streak of warm weather so I was glad that Jessy & Peter’s engagement session happen to be scheduled right in the middle of it. We had made plans to start the session indoors at the Fort Garry Hotel and to finish outdoors with Winnipeg’s iconic cityscape in the background. It was the middle of the afternoon, quite balmy with a full bright sun. With the Human Rights Museum in the background, and the last of the ice melt on the Red River, we captured some great photos that were truly “Winnipeg”. Since these two are getting married outside the city, they wanted to incorporate some more urban/Winnipeg locations in their engagement photos.
Jessy & Peter are absolutely lovely to work with and so adorable together! I’m honoured to be their wedding photographer and cannot wait to see what’s in store for their big day. Congratulations you two! See you again in a few months!
