ABOUT ME
Photography for wild souls & makers
Capturing the unique story of your life and work with a delicate eye for detail and playful creativity!
My ultimate joy is creating storytelling images; whether this is documenting unscripted connections between family members, the narrative behind a business, or heartfelt moments between a couple!
It's natural and real - no fake big cheesy smiles! Just me, capturing you being you.
My Approach
-Fun, relaxed, crea tive, candid & emo tive -
Sunsets & sunrises (bring on that golden hour!)
Exploring
Flower crowns (I ADORE THEM)
Olives
Fairy lights and festoons
My old Dansette record player (having a little bop to it after a few drinks - especially to Chuck Berry ‘You Never Can Tell’)
Long walks in the countryside and being outdoors
Flowers, especially dried flowers & wildflowers (I'm obsessed)
Spring and Autumn
Sparkly things and sequins
Interior design
Being by the coast
My favourite holiday to date was a trip to Belize (I swam with a manatee which was pretty awesome)
Being cosy in a cottage snuggled up by a roaring fire
Blossom
Pickled things
BBQs & picnics
Wine
Devon and Cornwall
Dreamy light
Things that make me happy!

"GEMMA PUT MY BOYS AND I AT EASE STRAIGHT AWAY, WITHIN NO TIME AT ALL THE BOYS WEREN’T EVEN AWARE OF HER SNAPPING AWAY AS WE PLAYED.

THANKS GEMMA WE HOPE TO HAVE YOU BACK AGAIN WHEN THEY’RE A LITTLE OLDER XXX"

SAM - THE WALLED GARDEN AT MELLS
"GEM DID AN WONDERFUL PHOTO SHOOT OF MY BUSINESS THAT REALLY CAPTURED THE FEEL AND ATMOSPHERE OF THE OUTDOOR CAFE AND WALLED GARDEN. SHE LISTENED AND ACTIVELY MET THE BRIEF OF WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, WORKED WITH ME TO GET A FEW KEY SHOTS THAT I KNEW I WOULD NEED AND THEN USED HER OWN ARTISTIC JUDGEMENT TO CREATE SOME BEAUTIFUL PERSPECTIVES OF THE GARDEN. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE PHOTOGRAPHS IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA CONTEXTS AND IT HAS REALLY UPPED MY VISUAL PRESENCE. I FOUND IT REALLY HELPFUL TO HAVE A SUITE OF PHOTOS THAT HAD A UNIFORM LOOK AND FEEL TO THEM SO THAT I DIDN’T HAVE TO THINK TOO HARD WHEN GETTING PRESS PACKS TOGETHER"
