love sent… in the form of words, from awesome clients
“I signed up to the 50 over 50s photo shoot last year and booked the shoot for the beginning of this year. I had been ill and wanted to give myself some recovery time.
I was rather nervous but all through the booking process, the pre photoshoot prep meeting and the shoot itself, I felt listened to and respected.
I believe as we get older we can sometimes forget who we are and put our needs behind our families.
The photoshoot, gave me back my confidence and made me feel glamorous again and I definitely thought that feeling had disappeared.
The last and final thing I should mention is that it was an absolute hoot! Andrea has the ability to make you feel so comfortable and she most definitely found my wicked streak, although she may not have had to look very far!

“I can highly recommend Andrea. I signed up for the over 50's photo shoot with some trepidation and the sense of guilt for doing something like this for myself, the worry I am sure many have of having photos taken. Andrea was amazing. Emphatic to my needs for both nervousness in front of the camera, and due to some of my disability concerns. I am over the moon with the results and proud after many years of not being, to show my photos publicly.”

“Last month I stepped out of my comfort zone and took part in the 50 Portraits of Women over 50 project with the lovely and very talented Andrea de Gabriel Portrait Photography.
Like many women I hate having my photograph taken, all I see is wrinkles and imperfections. A morning in Andrea's studio changed that for me!
When my photos were revealed to me I saw a happy, confident woman. I also saw a glimmer of my beautiful Mum who died five years ago. I saw me! Thank you Andrea for the wonderful experience!”

“I've admired Andrea's work for a long time. When the opportunity arose to have Andrea update my business photographs, I jumped at the chance.
The results were so much better than I ever expected.
Andrea has captured the essence of my personality with her patience and skill.
I would highly recommend her for both portrait and business photographs.

“I had always wanted to experience a professional photoshoot so this special milestone year of turning 50 seemed like the ideal opportunity.
Andrea was extremely professional from start to finish explaining the whole process thoroughly, making me feel really comfortable and giving me complete peace of mind.
She has an amazing eye for detail creating pure perfection in her work. I had complete confidence that she would capture my personality in a selection of relaxed and natural poses.
However I was overwhelmed with my portrait reveal leaving me with a tough decision in selecting my favourites.
Andrea came highly recommended by a very good friend so I would have no hesitation in making the same recommendation to anyone who is considering using her services.”

“ Andrea’s passion to show women their inner and outer beauty, captured through her camera lens, comes out in every interaction and stage of the process. Today I am unashamedly proud of the beautiful picture that hangs on the wall in my home. The picture that I envision will one day hang on my son's, and perhaps grandchild's, wall long after I'm gone.”

“Andrea is so passionate & enthusiastic about her photography skills and how she got to where she is today that it was an easy decision to make to ask her to capture my personality and brand in new portrait photos for my website revamp.
She completely exceeded all my expectations with what she produced and it was a tough decision to narrow my selection down to the chosen few.
I can highly recommend her services and worth the travel from Chesterfield to Nuneaton for a day just for me to feel beautiful”

“I have always wanted to experience a boudoir shoot but struggled to find the right photographer. As soon as I spoke to Andrea on the phone I felt immediately comfortable and was excited to see her ideas come to life. I am so in love with the images and feel this shows another side of me”

“ I was amazed with Andrea’s inspiration as she suggested a variety of natural poses to capture my true personality and the passion for my colour business. Absolutely delighted with my photographs which are something far more beautiful than headshots – they are beautiful portraits!”

“I needed an image for a new book I had written.
The market is full of photographers so finding one who understood what I was looking for, delivered on time and could supply everything I needed was essential and Andrea fulfilled those requirements, put me at ease and I am really pleased with the results.”

“This wonderful photograph by Andrea de Gabriel Portrait Photography made me confront my view of myself and how others see me.
She saw the real me, who I am, what's important to me and captured a moment in time when I was truly being myself.”

“I was quite apprehensive about having a photo session, as it had been a long time since I'd had any taken (apart from family snaps). But I had so much fun with Andrea that it was easy to relax and enjoy the whole process. And I have some gorgeous photos too!”

“This is our third photography experience with Andrea and we love her enthusiasm and professionalism.
Andrea made sure that my daughter was comfortable and confident throughout the whole experience. She was open to suggestions and encouraged our input throughout. We would happily recommend Andrea and have recently booked her again for a family portrait. This is clearly not just a job for Andrea this is her passion and it shows through everything she does.”
