I’m the owner and lead photographer behind Gabbi’s Galleria, based in Aberdeen, Maryland. For over five years, I’ve been honored to document weddings and portraits with a timeless, natural style that reflects the real connection between people.
I fell in love with photography the moment I realized how powerful the creative process could be. It quickly became more than a hobby—it was a way to slow down, find beauty in the present, and tell stories that matter. I still have the first film camera my parents gave me sitting on my shelf as a reminder of where it all began.
Now, as a mother of two daughters, this work means even more. I want them to see me not just as a mom, but as a leader—someone who built a business rooted in empathy, strength, and joy.
I’m also incredibly lucky to have my husband, Jake, by my side. He often second shoots weddings with me and assists during portrait sessions—bringing his calm energy, quick thinking, and support wherever it’s needed most. We make a pretty great team, both in life and behind the lens.
My approach is intentional, organized, and down-to-earth. I’ll help guide you through the planning process with as much support as you need—whether that’s timelines, posing tips, or just someone who truly gets how important this day is to you. I bring a calming presence to even the most emotional moments because I know how it feels to show up for others while carrying a lot yourself.
If you’re looking for a photographer who sees beyond the surface and creates images that feel like you—I’d love to chat.
Take a look through my portfolio to see more of my work, or reach out here to start a conversation. I can’t wait to hear your story.
and i believe your love story deserves to be remembered beautifully
I'M Gabbi, YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
There’s something incredibly grounding about digging in the dirt and watching life grow. Gardening is one of my favorite ways to slow down and be present—especially when I’m out there with my girls. I love filling our home with fresh flowers, fruits, and vegetables from our garden. It’s become a space of peace, joy, and sweet little lessons in patience and care.
Gardening
Photography may be my first creative love, but I’m equally drawn to other forms of expression—like painting, drawing, and writing poetry. I’ve always believed that art is a way of processing, healing, and connecting. Whether I’m sketching in a notebook or drafting a poem during a quiet moment, creating is how I find my center.
Art
I’m a proud girl mom to two of the most inspiring little humans I know, and wife to my best friend from high school. Our home is full of creativity, laughter, and lots of camera clicks—we all love photography, and seeing the world through my daughters’ eyes is one of my greatest joys. My family is the heart behind everything I do, and the reason I show up with passion and purpose every day.

feelings captured for the loving soul
My promise to you
… in my mom’s kitchen, where stories are passed down with every recipe and love is always the secret ingredient.
… when I’m out in nature, breathing deeply and soaking in the stillness, the color, the wonder.
… during first looks, when time slows and love says everything without a single word.
… in the rhythm of poetry—both reading and writing it—where emotion and language intertwine.
… in unhurried time with my family, where laughter, connection, and joy remind me what really matters.
but the moments that move me most are often the simplest, the quietest, and the most real. I find it…

Gabbi shot our wedding earlier this month and we can’t say enough good things about our experience. From our initial consultation, engagement shoot, planning and finally our wedding day, Gabbi was so attentive and thorough! She kept contact with us throughout the planning process, always responding quickly and open to any questions! We absolutely love her natural, warm and timeless shooting style, which is a huge reason as to why we chose her! When it comes to the day of our wedding, we had some rain significantly impact our plans and Gabbi went above and beyond going with the flow and pivoting plans as needed. She paid great attention to detail when helping us through our day and also gave lots of support.

Gabbi was amazing! She did our engagement and wedding photos. Gabbi worked with us ahead of time to know what we wanted and did anything possible to make it happen! She had a vision for the day and executed it flawlessly while also being able to improvise and capture moments as they were happening. Highly recommend working with Gabbi!
