About Gabi

Gabi Tovy photographer portrait — Tovy Photography

Hi! I'm Gabi

I've always been the one trailing behind on family walks, too busy capturing moments to keep up.

Becoming a mom only made it worse (better?). Watching my son grow, I started feeling how fast it all moves. Then one day he said one of his very first phrases: “Do it, do it, do it!” I laughed, but honestly? It hit me. He was right. So I did it. I picked up my camera for real and never looked back.

Now I get to point the camera at what I love most: real families, real mess, real love. I photograph in people's homes where life actually happens, and when Chicago gives us one of those golden evenings, we take it outside and soak it in.

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.

My Philosophy

“I'm here to notice what you're too busy living to see — the quiet looks, the real laughs, the love that fills your home. Those are the moments worth keeping.”

What to Expect

Before Your Session

We’ll chat about what matters to you, pick the perfect location (or plan an in-home session), and I’ll share tips on wardrobe, timing, and how to prep the kids — hint: just let them be themselves.

During the Session

Expect a relaxed, playful atmosphere. I gently guide without over-posing. The best shots come from real interactions — a tickle fight, a whispered secret, a spontaneous hug. I’m there to capture it all.

After the Session

Your gallery of beautifully edited images will be ready within 2-3 weeks. Each photo is carefully edited to feel warm, natural, and timeless — exactly how you remember the moment.

The Result

Images you’ll want to frame, share, and come back to again and again. Photos that remind you of how it felt — the warmth, the laughter, the love that fills your everyday.

Ready to capture your moments?

I'd love to hear about your family and what you're looking for.
