Book Your SessionNatural, gently guided photography for life's meaningful moments
The way your baby curls into your chest. Your toddler's belly laugh that fills the whole room. The look between you and your partner that says we built this.
Moments like these deserve to be remembered exactly as they feel.
My job is to see the tov, the good in your everyday life, and capture it so you can hold onto this feeling long after your kids have grown and these fleeting days become the memories you treasure most.
Tovy Photography is a family, newborn, maternity and milestone photographer based in Skokie, IL, serving Evanston, Wilmette, Lincolnwood and all of Chicago's North Shore. Sessions are natural light, gently guided, at your home or on location, and start at $300 with edited images and full print rights included.

Kind Words
“My kids are shy, but they were completely ok with Gabi — she's great with kids and made them comfortable. We had no idea how much better the photos would look with her editing enhancements. We were blown away and have multiple photos enlarged throughout our home!”
Abbie C.

“She has this special ability to capture genuine, joyful moments you didn't even realize were happening in real time. Looking through our gallery truly felt like reliving the day from the best possible perspective.”
Tal Schultz

“She made all of us, especially my kids, feel completely comfortable and at ease. The photos were absolutely stunning — Gabi truly captured real, beautiful moments and emotions that we’ll treasure forever.”

Hi, I'm Gabi
I've always been the one trailing behind on family walks, too busy capturing moments to keep up. It took becoming a mom to finally pick up my camera for real, and I never looked back.
My sessions are calm, a little playful, and always guided by what makes your family you. I want you laughing, snuggling, being yourselves, and I'll be there catching the moments you'll be so glad you have.
It's about slowing down for the moments that move too fast, so that years from now, one look pulls you right back in and you feel every bit of it all over again.

Good to know

I am based in Skokie, IL and photograph throughout Chicago's North Shore: Evanston, Wilmette, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Glenview, Niles, Northbrook, Park Ridge, Winnetka, Highland Park, West Rogers Park and the city. Sessions within 10 miles of Skokie carry no travel fee.
How much does a photography session cost?
Sessions start at $300 for a 30-minute mini session with 10+ edited images. The Classic session is $425 for 60 minutes and 25+ images, and the Full session is $550 for 90 minutes and 40+ images. Every package includes a private online gallery and full print rights. Events are quoted individually.
Do you photograph newborns at home?
Yes. Newborn sessions happen in your home in natural window light, when your baby is about 5 to 14 days old. You stay comfortable, the baby stays on schedule, and siblings and the whole family are part of the session.
How do I book a session?
Send a note through the contact page with the kind of session you want and a few dates. I reply within 24 to 48 hours with a plan for timing, location and package. For newborns, reach out in your third trimester so we can hold a date.
