LIFESTYLE PORTRAITS


This is my favorite part... when someone gets excited to create with me. I LOVE it when we collaborate, and together, we build our ideas. That's why when you book with me, I send you my session guide that walks you through how to prepare for your shoot.

Testimonials

"This was my first ever experience in front of a professional camera and you made our time so relaxing and comfortable.  My graduation was not something I had yet felt accomplished for until I received the final portraits. I look at your photos and I feel so proud of the work I put into this achievement. Now, because of these photos, I can finally close that chapter of my life with a happy heart. Thank you for beautifully capturing all the emotions of such an important day."

"Gabi has a true gift. There is a warmth to her work that beams off every shot, and I feel blessed to have crossed paths with such a reliable, flexible, and personable photographer who passionately pours her all into each project. I have used the timeless self-portaits she took of me for all of my professional portfolios and couldn’t be more happier with the results. She is my go-to for making every big occasion memorable in life!"

Tender moments between parent and newborn baby in cozy knit sweater.

"Gabi was so kind, friendly, and patient with us especially since we were nervous first time parents with a 6-day old during our shoot! She made sure we were relaxed and it was so nice getting to shoot in our home. We love how the photos turned out and love that they reflect the raw joy and gentleness of having a newborn. Thank you Gabi!"

I met this young woman at a class project through a friend. I have a brief 3-5 min conversation about her work and future goals. I started following her and have seen Chasing Horizons Photography (Gabi) grow and really expand in her art. Professional and creative in two words. Thank you again for your time; and catering to my special needs required to make this happened.”
