ABOUT
We’ve got a lot in common, you and I. We’re wanderers, dreamers, and seekers — always striving for something more: something bigger, brighter, and more beautiful.
My life and work are driven by a passion for finding meaning and capturing the essence of life’s extraordinary and ordinary moments. Every moment, no matter how small, holds a story worth telling.
ABOUT GEMMA
I’m a Somerset-based photographer, a proud mum of four wonderful children, and a relentless dreamer. Since 1985, I’ve been turning passions into reality, always chasing the next big idea.
Born and raised amidst the rolling landscapes of Somerset, my journey to photography wasn’t straightforward. My early years were spent in dance studios and on stages, but it wasn’t until motherhood that I fully embraced the joy of photography. My adventure truly began when my husband enrolled in a beginner’s photography course and bought a new camera. After commandeering his beloved new toy, I spent the past 12 years transforming a simple hobby into a thriving career. Today, I channel my passion and curiosity into my clients’ businesses, getting excited about their journeys and helping them shine.
Living in Somerset my entire life has deeply influenced my photography. The rolling hills, historic landmarks, and charming local spots inspire me daily. Whether capturing the elegance of a National Trust property or the rustic charm of a lavender field, Somerset’s beauty is at the heart of my work.
Philosophy
Photography, for me, is about storytelling. It’s about capturing the essence of a moment, a person, or a place. I strive to create images that are not only beautiful but also evoke emotions and tell a story. My style is light-filled, bright, and airy, reflecting the love and joy in each moment. Whether I’m photographing a professional brand session or a playful family gathering, my goal is to create images that resonate deeply and authentically.
My Approach
As a Virgo, I bring a meticulous and thoughtful approach to every photoshoot. My sessions are relaxed and enjoyable, ensuring everyone feels at ease. The best photos come from genuine interactions and real moments, whether it’s a professional brand shoot or a playful family session.
Weekends
When I’m not consulting, shooting, or editing, you’ll likely find me exploring a National Trust property, planning our next family adventure, or chasing my two-year-old on his electric tractor—how typically Somerset! I love kitchen dance parties, the theatre, and travel, all of which fuel my creativity. Everyday moments and golden hour light always inspire me. And there’s nothing quite like lazy summer afternoon picnics, where I can relax and soak in the beauty of the season.
Why Choose Me?
Let’s create something beautiful together.
Choosing a photographer is a personal decision, and I strive to make every session a memorable experience. With years of experience and a deep love for my craft, I bring a personal touch to every shoot. My clients often say I have a knack for capturing their true essence, and I take pride in delivering images that exceed their expectations. Beyond the photoshoot, I become a lifelong supporter and friend, celebrating your achievements and watching your business grow brings me immense joy.
