Hi there!

​

I’m Gabrielle — the photographer and founder behind Studio 14.


May team and I create luxury portraits for people who want more than “nice photos.” They want an experience that feels elevated, effortless, and unmistakably personal—then artwork they’re proud to live with.

Studio 14 is a boutique portrait experience.
It begins before the camera ever comes out. We plan. We style. We design the session around how you want to feel—and what you want your images to say. This is where editorial meets intimacy: refined direction, beautiful light, and portraits that hold presence.

 

​What it feels like to work with us:

  • ​A consultant that actually listens thoroughly to you​​

  • Unlimited style, wardrobe, and posing help and guidance leading up to your session​​

  • An entire team of hair and make up professionals, styling consultants, lighting and set design experts, and an me, and international award-winning portrait photographer to expertly capture the real you​

  • A calm, confident shoot with flattering direction, set design, and professional lighting​

  • Studio portraits, outdoor portraits, or both—crafted with intention​

  • Your final images will be finished like art: timeless, polished, and unmistakably you

 

The space matters.


Studio 14 sits on Main Street in Montrose—bright, welcoming, and designed for modern portraiture. And when the outdoors calls, Western Colorado delivers dramatic landscapes in every season—from soft river light to high-alpine edge. Not local? Perfect. We travel for clients who want their portraits set against the backdrop of their favorite places—vacation towns, mountain escapes, desert light, seaside evenings. Wherever you feel most alive, we’ll create there. 

​

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s impact.


Images that feel like you—confident, connected, beautifully composed—captured with taste, care, and a touch of editorial energy.

If you’re ready for portraits that feel like an experience (and live like art), let’s create something unforgettable.
