“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!”
