My name is Gabrielle

 

So glad you made it. Rest and stay a while. 


Since you're here, I'll should share a little about myself. From the beginning, I’ve always been drenched in the arts--dancing, drawing, singing, crafting, playing instruments, etc… I’ve always needed to move and create, either with my hands or with sound. My love for creating imagery started when one of my best friends and I started doing photoshoots with our iPod Touches which led to getting my first camera in high school.




After years of practice and hard work, I now have multiple Associate degrees in Art and Photography and a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Studies with a focus in Photography. Chasing Horizons has taken many turns on its journey, and now, I'm happy to offer specialty services for portraits, events, and commercial work.

I sure love what I do, and I'd love to share it with you!

What

inspires me

 

My faith

 

Jesus is my Savior and friend. He has been so good to me, and He offers His love and forgiveness to all who would call upon Him.

noir movies

 

Films heavily influences my style. The lighting is superb. And c'mon-Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Myrna Loy? Gotta love them.  If you like that too, you'll love  

the ocean

 

The ocean has been a consistent place of inspiration and imagery for me.  Come look at a nautical series that I'm especially proud of

Things I love

 

my family and friends

 

 

I wouldn't trade the people in my life for the world, (And yes when I say family, I also mean my animals :)

Gardening

 

There's nothing quite like having your hands in the dirt. It's so grounding for me, and it's a joy to see the literal fruit of my labor!


music

 

I was the little girl singing at the top of her lungs in the backyard...Music lives in my soul. I carry a speaker a lot of the time on my shoots, and I have it playing while I edit. Check out this this album cover I had the privilege of creating

"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!"

"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 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.”
