Gayle has been photographing our family since the kids were babies. She has always made it so much fun for them and they love taking photos with her. Soon she will be taking my daughter's senior photos and we can't wait to see the product. Her photos have such a warm and inviting feel, with the gorgeous backgrounds and her eye for great shots. She captures the memories so beautifully.

This is the third time working with Gayle over the years and we couldn't be happier with our portraits of our now high school graduate twin girls! She have an eye for the perfect but not too posed looks! Would recommend her to anyone looking for great photos of families and kids younger and older! Thanks Gayle for making another set of memories for us!

We had such a fun time taking photos with Gayle. She has a great eye for awesome photos, and most importantly - she was able to hold our kiddos' attention and get them to all smile at the camera at the same time! Loved the actual session, and the pictures the session produced. Thank you, Gayle!

Gayle was great to work with! She was easy to coordinate with, straight forward on pricing and most importantly captured beautiful pictures. I really appreciated her fun energy the day of our shoot that helped put some camera shy family members at ease. Highly recommend!

We were fortunate to have Gayle take our family pictures this year in Duck, NC. Gayle captured our large family in beautiful beach shots as well as on the sound. We were stunned when we saw the candid shots that Gayle captured - WOW! We didn't even know she took the shots that expressed so much emotion and fun! What great memories and priceless pictures! Thank you Gayle for your talent!

Gayle Tiller has been photographing my children since they were born 20 years ago. She has such a great personality and such patience that her subjects are all instantly put at ease - and that's when she captures the magic moments! My youngest daughter rarely likes pictures of herself but whenever Gayle takes them she has a hard time choosing her favorites because she likes them all! We've moved around the country so we've had other photographers take pictures for us but the ONLY pictures of our family that are hanging in our home are the ones that were taken by Gayle Tiller. She's the best. Period.
