Hello, I'm Gaby
Family Photographer in Kingston upon Thames & London
I take natural, candid photos of families, mums-to-be and couples, and I also photograph birthdays and special events across Kingston and London. Every photoshoot is unique, and I focus on capturing the love, connection and emotion between you, along with all the small details and in-between moments.
I photograph families across Kingston, Richmond, Wimbledon, Twickenham, Teddington, Surbiton and Central London.
Why Choose MellSnap
No posing.
Just real moments.
Photography with me feels more like a relaxed walk than a formal photo shoot. I gently guide you when needed, while creating space for natural, beautiful moments to unfold. I try to make the experience as simple and stress-free from start to finish.
Children can simply be themselves, playful, curious, full of life, and that's exactly what I capture. You receive all successful images in a private online gallery, beautifully edited and included without any extra fees.

"Gaby did a beautiful outdoor family photo shoot for our extended family (6 adults, a baby, and a toddler). We were really happy with both the photos and the overall experience, highly recommend her! The experience: The photoshoot felt very relaxed and natural. Rather than being prescriptive about each pose or backdrop, Gaby was super easygoing and followed the children’s lead as well as what we were interested in capturing. She had a great eye for the candid interactions that made the photos feel genuine, and made everyone feel at ease. We all had fun with it and there was not a moment of stress or rush. Gaby assured us that a one-hour session would be plenty of time, and she was right. The photos: We loved the photo gallery! Gaby captured so many wonderful candid moments with the children and a good mix of large family portraits and smaller group shots. The outdoor backdrops looked beautiful and natural and the photos did not feel over-edited. Because the photos were taken so naturally, everyone looked relaxed and authentic, unlike other shoots I've done that felt more staged or awkwardly posed. Working with Gaby: Gaby was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly responsive (her email replies were always very quick), super flexible, and delivered the full gallery within a week. Her pricing was very reasonable and we were pleased with the value we got."

"Our family has had several photo sessions with Gabi, and every time we’re reminded why we love working with her. She is incredibly professional and has a patience and warmth that put everyone at ease. We especially love how she captures the unique personalities of our children. Her photographs feel so full of life. We’re deeply grateful for her artistry and care. The photos are memories we will treasure for many years to come."

"We cannot recommend Gabi enough! She was the photographer for our wedding. Gabi captured every moment from entering the registry office to the end of our reception. She is a very talented and work driven young person with an eye for the details. Gabi, you were amazing, and we can't thank you enough for the beautiful photos!"

"My wife had realised 7 months into her pregnancy that we didn't have any pictures together with 'the bump'. So naturally, she started looking for a maternity shoot and we are SO glad she found Gaby! Gaby picked a great spot for us, knew exactly where to go, and gave us some great ideas to pose in. But more importantly, she made us feel so relaxed - it didn't even feel like a shoot. I would strongly recommend hiring Mellsnap, Gaby is just as professional as she is kind-hearted 🙏🏽🙂"

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which photo package is for me?
You can book a 10-minute free consultation with me and we are going to discuss the best package, as well as all the questions that you might have.
How long does it take to receive my images?
I try to retouch and process the images as soon as possible, normally it takes 3 to 5 days for a quick session and 7 to 10 days for a full session or event.
Do you have a photo studio?
While I may offer a studio option in the future, right now I specialise in outdoor sessions, where nature provides a beautiful, relaxed backdrop. Photographing families outside allows everyone to feel more comfortable and natural, so I can capture genuine connection, real smiles, and authentic moments that truly reflect your family.
What if it is raining?
We can reschedule for more sunny days, and you won't lose anything—I don't require a booking fee!
How will I get my images?
I'll send you a secure link from where you can download all the digital images whenever they are ready, they will be in two formats. One optimised for social media sharing and one for printing.
Will my photos be used for your blog or marketing?
I might use a few photos from our session on my blog or in marketing to help others discover my work, much like how you found me. Showcasing real photo sessions is key to reaching new clients. Let me know if you'd prefer not to have your photos featured!
How to book a photo session?
Booking a session is very easy, you can either click the button for a free 10-minute consultation with me on which we are going to discuss everything and reserve a date, alternatively, you can fill in the contact form or just call me, check the contact page for more details.

I don't have a booking fee and all packages include all digital images. The payment can be done in various stages, on the session or just before you receive your images, whenever suits you best. I accept card and cash payments.
Are you doing photo prints?
No, not at the moment, but I'm able to help with printing information and good companies that do print, just let me know.
