Hi, I'm Alejandra Gabin. Ale. Ally. Mamá. Grandma.

I've been a photographer for 20 years. How I got started is a long story and had a lot to do with me being dyslexic. This job fits me like a glove and is a blessing in disguise really. I love what I do.
I enjoy spending time with my lovely clients, encouraging them, having fun, and then showing them what we have created. It gives me great joy when my clients are amazed by how nice they look. It's also wonderful to see the many ways they are excited to use their images on social media.

Lets work together
