hello there!the photographer.
Gemma Robillard
For more than a decade I have been making pictures of people and families as a photojournalist throughout Ottawa and the Valley.
quick facts.
- I'm a mom of twin teenagers and a tween (all boys!)
- This photography business has been around since 2009
- My approach to family photography is to make the same kind of pictures I do with my own dudes—I mix awesome relaxed portraits with candid 'documentary' moments
- I also work with:
→ small business owners (build their stock photo library)
→ real estate agents (headshots + listings)
→ larger companies to create marketing content (for print publications)
these are my dudes.
new here?
questions + answers.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING?
My formal background and training is in Journalism. Storytelling is in my blood and translates well in my photographic work. I taught myself how to shoot in Manual Mode more than a decade ago and have taken many photography workshops and training over the years.
Do you offer photography for commercial or editorial purposes?
Yes! If you need fresh website content, or high-quality visuals for marketing materials, I have worked with a variety of companies on a freelance basis.
What is the price for a session?
My pricing is very simple—the favourite choice for families is the session fee + a number of digital files for $550. I’m happy to give a sweet deal to anyone booking a session on a weekday (excluding holidays). Or become a newsletter subscriber to be the first to know about promotions and exclusive offers.
I WANT TO BOOK A SESSION WITH YOU. WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST?
Woohoo! I’m beyond thrilled that you want awesome photos with your family. I’ve made it easy to get in touch—by click any button or link labelled CONTACT found on this site—or email me at hello@gemmarobillard.ca. Once I know your photography needs, we can discuss suitable dates and session details.
“My family has had the opportunity to work with Gemma twice in the past year, both times the experience was exceptional! Gemma worked with us so easily and thoughtfully, the experience was a total pleasure from start to finish!
We loved her candid approach, she catches the sweetest moments and our photographs are such treasures now! Some of the images captured were such unexpected surprises, that there were tears looking through the proofs the first time!
I can’t recommend Gemma enough. Our photos are intimate, thoughtful, real moments forever captured on film now, I can’t wait until the next time!”
