The 2025 Hearts for Youth Gala, Sarnia Lambton Rebound

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our 2025 Hearts for Youth Gala. Not only were the photos absolutely stunning — capturing every heartfelt moment, candid smile, and dazzling detail — but Kerry’s presence throughout the night was just as impressive. She was warm, professional, and made every guest feel at ease in front of the camera. Her turnaround time was incredible, delivering a full gallery of beautifully edited images faster than we imagined. We’re so grateful for Kerry's talent, energy, and heart. We can’t wait to work together again! Brook Freer-Wiler, Gala Organizing Team, REBOUND.

The 2024 & 2025 Southern Ontario Tourism Conference, Sarnia/Brantford, Ontario

We had an amazing experience working with Kerry. From start to finish she made the process effortless, captured high quality and professional images, and delivered promptly. Before the event Kerry worked with the team to get the shot list organized, while on-site she was very professional, quick to get good shots, and was available for long days at multiple locations. We now have a beautiful album of the event we can share with participants and use for future event marketing. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the shots they needed and more, I would highly recommend working with Kerry!

Speaking Presentation Feedback

"Thanks again for an amazing presentation. You could have heard a pin drop on the carpeted floor as you gave your presentation -- everyone was spellbound...I was amazed at the overall positive feeling in the room...Your slide show was beautiful." L.S.*** "Hi Kerry - What a wonderful, professional presentation you did last evening! Although I was aware of most of the uphill battles you have faced, it really hit home to hear directly from you, in sequence, all the challenges you have already faced in your young life and also how your creative photography have kept you moving forward. I do agree with you very much that during the very darkest periods, it is almost impossible to pursue the arts be it reading, writing, visual. Keep it moving forward, Kerry!" Mary *** "I have always been impressed with your photography, but the presentation of your wonderful pictures, many of which I recognized from your West coast collection, and that incredibly appropriate music was an experience of complete serenity. Thank You Kerry, and I wish you success in your continued " Journey ". It really is a wonderful World. The setbacks are obstacles to be surmounted." P.T. *** "Kerry, Hi I absolutely loved your presentation at the Sarnia photo club this month (even though you tried to make me cry ) I'm glad your journey brought you to that meeting. I had a few minutes and did visit your web site, what I had time to see was awesome and I look forward to seeing more. I had to laugh because I also refer to my long and short trips as adventures and my life as a journey." D.J.

Kerry-you take beautiful photos. You were an absolutely perfect addition to our special day. These pictures speak for themselves. I would hire you again in a heartbeat!!!

AHIP Symposium 2019

I had the pleasure of working with Kerry at the 2019 Symposium for the Association of Hearing Instrument Practitioners of Ontario (AHIP). For the last few years, as editor-in-chief of our association’s publication The Signal, I oversaw capturing photos from the event. This year, our board of directors decided to hire a professional, and I’m glad we did! She took fantastic photos of everything and I’ve had more photos to sort through than ever before. Not only does she have a great eye for that perfect picture, but she has the creativity to stage some unique memories. Once I uploaded the photos to the AHIP Facebook page, we’ve had more comments, shares and likes than ever before from those photos. If you’re looking for a photographer for your event, I would recommend you look for Kerry! Chris Arnold Editor-in-Chief & Treasurer Association of Hearing Instrument Practitioners of Ontario

The Mellon Family, Grad x2

Kerry puts her heart and her soul into her photography - like every other aspect of her life. I couldn’t have been happier with my children’s Grad photos. Thank you again, Kerry! You are one very talented lady!

Shelly Rastin - Country Singer

I must say, I’ve never worked with a more creative and think outside the box photographer then Kerry Gabriel. She and her camera have captured so many of my emotions, thoughts and movements just so that when I look back on past shows, her pictures bring me back to state I was in during my life at that time and on that day of my performance. She not only tells the story of the event but also the story of the artist at the time of the event. A beautiful photographer and even more beautiful person…I give you Kerry from Kerry’s Klips.

Janette & Family

We had the best time at our photo shoot !! Kerry you made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed...even those of us who hate to have our pictures taken!! We look forward to our next family shoot...adding new members...new memories. Thanks Kerry for everything!

Ian Smith - Lead Singer

Having been involved in the local music scene for many years, I have seen my share of photographs of many artists. When I met Kerry Gabriel she told me she was a photographer, so I took a look at her web-site. I was so impressed by the quality of her work that I asked her if she would be interested in taking some photographs of The 88's. She came to our shows and took terrific shots that we have used on our web-site. Other bands/artists have asked me who took the photographs and I was very confident and happy to tell them Kerry Gabriel !!! I feel Kerry does great work and is virtually invisible whilst working on and around the stage during a show. Her great personality and her photographic skills make her a joy to work with anytime. Ian Smith

Erin Gabriel - Graduation with a Twist Shoot.

Erin Gabriel - Graduation with a Twist To some people the heart of photography is in a photoshoot with an international, not to mention beautiful model, traveling the world and along the way finding the small worlds that are some of the most beautiful places- we're just too busy to see them. The experience of being with best friends and some how turning it into a photo shoot with downtown being our playground while not even knowing it, making memories to last a lifetime, sitting front row at a sports event and catching the perfect shot with little effort but still feel the passion in the game, or even simply enough, standing in the garden for hours right after it's rained, trying to get the perfect picture of the raindrop on the leaf. For my Aunt Kerry all of these apply, and I am SO blessed to have her in my life. She has taught me the most important lesson in my life, putting it simply as "free to be me". She's taught me how to just be myself and not care what other people think. Without that I don't think I could be the person I am today. She has a free and beautiful spirit and it shines through in her photography. I love her more than words can explain, and if you didn't guess Aunt Kerry... You Got Game Baby!!!Love Squirt #1 xoxoxo X infinity!!

The Whitlaw Family

Kerry took our family pictures last Fall and we had a great time! She had lots of energy and took alot of amazing shots. She had visited the area before we went to get a feel of what would be the right spots. She showed alot of enthusiasm and had great energy and patience with my children (and my dog). And they enjoyed her. We ended up with alot of great pictures, many now displayed around our home. The quality of the pictures shows how much time and effort Kerry puts into every shot. Kerry's passion for photography is very obvious, it's more than just a pastime for her. Thank you Kerry for giving us memories to look back on. S Whitlaw & Family.

Shannon's Grad

Kerry is wonderful to work with. She brings out the best in people, young and old alike. She manages to get "that shot" every time we take pictures together. Kerry always finds unique locations and tailors the shoot to suit her subjects. Shannon's Mom - Lyn Sweet

Kira-Jade - Country Singer

Kira-Jade Country Singer (and model) (and actress!) I am so proud to have used Kerry as my official photographer at Sarnia's Bayfest where I opened for Tim McGraw. I had all the confidence in the world that Kerry will look beyond the lens and see the truly life changing event that was going on behind it and capture it in her own unique, heartfelt way. As a model I have had the chance to work with fashion photographers in both Toronto and Tokyo, but none have made me feel as comfortable and secure in front of a camera as Kerry has. She brought out the real me in her pictures, and captured a sparkle that no one else has ever achieved. On top of being a talented photographer Kerry is a spectacular woman who's warmth just draws you in, and calm countenance just seems to bring peace to whatever surrounding she is in. I am so blessed to have been able to work with her and call her friend.
