Your Fine Art Miami Photographer
Hi, I'm Tova!
I’m so glad you’re here! Every photo session is unique in its own way since every person/family/couple is different and it’s what I love so much about the job - meeting people locally and from around the world and working together to create something special.
I direct photo sessions with poses, prompts and action shots and also will keep photographing when you might be caught off guard in fits of laughter, which often turns out to be my favorite authentic moments.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been over 15 years that I’ve been doing this. I have loads of patience, will scope out all the best spots for optimum lighting and ultimately, I want you to be happy with the photos you receive. I hope that every time you look at them it puts a smile on your face and takes you back to a special moment in time.

I grew up in Miami (one of those rare Florida natives, haha!) as the youngest of six. It was super fun growing up with so many siblings, in spite of the endless teasing. I loved holidays when we would spend hours playing together. Now I’m the proud aunt of 18 nieces and nephews!
Besides for my obvious passion for photography, I love traveling, visiting the national parks, staying active and spending time with friends and family. My simple pleasures are coffee, dark chocolate, and singing along (usually off-key) to my favorite songs.
This photography journey all started when I was teenager. I loved taking pictures with my first film camera and then experimenting with a digital camera when I was around 15. In college I quickly became obsessed with printing in the darkroom, spending hours after class in the lab.

My Background Story
A Look into my
Life
Tova exceeded all of my family photography session expectations by far! She is absolutely amazing, a very talented professional photographer. My two year old daughter ran into her arms the second she met her for a big hug! She immediately felt her warm and positive energy. Tova made my husband, two daughters, and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and made the experience so much fun! It was such a pleasure to have Tova come to our home and capture these special moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Our photos turned out better than I could ever have ever imagined! -Jessica S.
We had the pleasure of Tova taking our engagement/proposal pictures and they were absolutely amazing. I knew how skilled she was, but they somehow turned out even better than expected! I do not think there is anybody in South Florida who does this better, and if you choose to go with Tova, you will not have to worry about getting the best quality pictures possible! She is a magician with a camera! -Kabir B.
Tova was outstanding! She was reliable, friendly and accommodating to our family. When looking for a family photographer, it can be overwhelming and stressful (not to mention the challenge to coordinate everyone). But Tova made it easy and fun! She was wonderful and patient with our kids and spent extra time to ensure we got exactly what we wanted - real moments that captured our family’s personalities and happiness. We will use Tova again and can’t wait for her to capture all of life’s moments with us! Her turnaround time was also fantastic, we had our edited photos in less than two weeks! Highly recommended her, you will not be disappointed! -Anna S.
Tova is so excellent; I don’t think words can describe how exceptional our experience was. It was my first time doing a Photo Session of any kind. Tova is so professional, detail-oriented, and talented. She handled our camera shyness with such ease it came naturally. Tova is so sweet. She makes you feel so comfortable and knows what angles will look best. Once we booked our session, Tova went above and beyond and gave us suggestions for photo locations! Throughout the photo shoot, it was evident that she loved her job, and it was beautiful to see her getting excited about capturing a perfect shot or getting the lighting just right! Tova’s dedication to her work makes it such a memorable experience. I’m genuinely grateful. Highly recommended. -Nataly G.
Tova is an amazing photographer! She captured our engagement perfectly and professionally and was such a delight to work with. The photos were stunning. I wouldn't have picked anyone else to share our moment with. We would absolutely use her again and again. -Ryan O.
My husband and I chose Tova Photography for our 10 year wedding anniversary photo shoot! She was AMAZING from start to finish! She was so warm and kind from the very beginning! The last time we'd had professional photos of us taken was on our wedding day, so we definitely required a bit of guidance. Tova guided us through each pose and truly made us feel like the most beautiful and adorable couple she'd ever taken photos of! The photos turned out absolutely wonderful! Thank you SO much, Tova!! xo -Kailyn D.
Tova is one of a kind, the sweetest soul and truly went the extra mile for us! I’m so grateful for each moment she captured and they are pieces that will be treasured forever! I can’t wait to work with her again in the future! -Delaney
I was really hesitant to do professional photos and could not be happier with the experience we had with Tova. She was engaging, fun, and most importantly captured the essence of our family in every shot (on a hot day with an overtired 1-year old). It was not only a great experience, but our photos were phenomenal! -Mary D.
Tova is so wonderful to work with. It is a seamless process from start to finish and the end product is amazing!! My fiancé is very reluctant to take pictures and she captured US as we are. She is so easy to be around and captures personality and chemistry and the end result are beautiful pictures. Thank you Tova! -Angela
