Gabrielle Maurer is a Montreal (Canada) based photographer and the artist behind petites.images. Trained first as a violinist and later as a lawyer, she now devotes her practice to storytelling through photography, working primarily with analog mediums across a range of formats.

Her work is rooted in presence, care, and attention. It embodies the quiet act of witnessing, and explores the emotional textures that shape how moments are felt and remembered. Her approach is instinctive and relational, deriving from her neurodivergence and hypersensibilities. She sees people and wants them to feel seen too.

She splits her time between long-form projects, documenting wedding celebrations across the globe (see her work here), and home, that she calls Montreal and Gaspésie, where she works with families, couples, and communities to craft small love letters to different seasons of life.

Gabrielle is also an active member of the photography community, and offers mentoring, coaching and curatorial advice to photographers.
